Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1000

However, the crowd's surprise toward Ziva only lasted for a fleeting second. Nobody really cared whether she was born decent or ugly under those circumstances.

Meanwhile, Shannon locked onto her target, Ziva, once she saw her. With her left thumb, she punctured the pad of her middle finger and raised her hand. The blood droplets from her fingertips swiftly shot toward Ziva.

At the same time, she formed a mudra with one hand. The bright red blood droplets shimmered with a talismanic glow, and with a chant from her, they flew straight toward Ziva in the distance. "Cease to be!"

…

"Careful, Shannon!" the Jensens exclaimed in worry. While Shannon dealt with Ziva, the black smoke had charged in her way again.

Kai similarly noticed the situation. As much as he wanted to help, he had to hold down the carousel.

Among the crowd, Adam suddenly rushed out. His speed was incredible, and without hesitation, he ran toward Shannon.

Although he knew it might be too late, or that his actions might be in vain, he still rushed forward without hesitation, attempting to charge toward the black smoke that was about to pounce on his daughter.

Shannon's heart shuddered after she glimpsed the person running toward her. Quickly enough, she regained her composure.

Her left hand, still forming the mudra, remained steady, while her right hand, gripping the hazelwood sword, flipped over. The sword's tip pointed to the sky as it drew talismans in the void. "I wield the decree, to sever the thunder's might…"

After finishing the talisman, the tip of the sword pointed toward the black smoke. "Boom, with power and light!"

Accompanied by the cold, harsh voice, a bolt of thunder struck with a valiant roar, landing three feet in front of her. It perfectly split the black smoke that was about to reach Shannon in half, right down the middle.

Though Adam was stopped in time by the thunder, he didn't take long to regain his bearings and check on Shannon.

Seeing that the black smoke struck by the thunder had been sliced in half, Shannon gave a reassuring look to Adam and Hector, who were running toward her with anxious expressions.

However, her face dimmed the next second when she glanced at her gown. It was scorched in one spot!

Shannon held her scorched dress, feeling rather heartbroken. She knew about the conspiracy Ziva and her secret evil master had planned, but she never anticipated them to take action on her birthday!

"The dress that Aunt Annalise has given me and the theme park Hector generously offered me were almost destroyed by them…" Shannon mused, her anger brewing.

This time, she was genuinely enraged.
