Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1116

Shannon looked over with narrowed eyes and noticed a coil of gray energy around the mother's ankle resembling remnants of the thing that'd tripped her.

Beside her, Elliot huddled close and muttered, "It's a deity." As the Hedgehog Deity himself, he was naturally more sensitive to other supernatural beings.

Shannon combined himself with the grey hue she'd seen earlier and speculated that it was likely the Snake Deity.

But Skylar frowned. Even if it were a deity, they couldn't simply harm humans in public.

Just as he was about to stand up and track the culprit down, the lecturer, Logan, spoke up. "Forget it. This doesn't count as harm, so no need to meddle."

The deity had hidden its presence up till that moment and had only acted to stop the mother from harassing Lainey, so it was a good deed in a way.

Plus, the deity had withdrawn its energy after intervening, so it was unnecessary to pursue the matter further.

Shannon observed Logan's stance, and her eyes flickered with thought. She suddenly turned to look at the noisy family of three.

…

The once-noisy compartment had quieted down at some point. The family of three appeared to have settled down and no longer caused trouble.

The other passengers assumed they'd given up after Lainey left and thought no more about it, but Lexie and the others were seated close to the family.

They noticed that the couple continued to curse, and the child was still bawling loudly. But none of the sounds reached the ears of the passengers.

It was as if they were performing in silence. Their mouths moved, yet no sound was heard.

Lexie had thought it was due to her silencing talisman, but when she removed it, there was an eerie silence. What was going on?

When the couple realized Lainey had left for good and saw no further interference from anyone around them, they settled down from their initial complaints.

But while the parents quieted down, the child's cries grew louder. He'd failed to get his hands on the gamepad and taken on two smacks from his father, so he felt utterly wronged.

The couple was long accustomed to their son's tantrums and didn't bother trying to calm him down. He'd eventually tire himself out and stop.

As for whether the noise bothered the other passengers, that wasn't their concern.

But soon, they found something off.

Their son's cries seemed to get louder almost as if amplified in their ears. There was soon a sharp pain in their ears.
