Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2505

"Who is it? Can I—" Vincent instinctively tried to ask, but Myla cut him off with a flat, expressionless tone.

"You can't. Everyone has their destiny, and not everyone can bear the consequences of karma that comes with altering that destiny."

This was one of the rare moments Vincent saw her serious and almost detached side. That was when it struck him that she was truly an underworld traveler.

Of course. If she couldn't face death, how could she ever be entrusted with such work?

"I still want to know who it is."

Still, Vincent couldn't let it go. Not knowing what would happen was one thing, but now that he knew a staff member on his team might die today, there was no way he could pretend nothing happened.

Even so, Myla insisted. "I'm sorry. I can't tell you anything according to the underworld's confidentiality rules."

Before donning her baseball cap, she might have been able to reveal a hint or two. But now, she had her duties.

Seeing the flash of disappointment in Vincent's eyes, Myala lowered her head and said nothing. She'd seen countless such looks as an underworld traveler.

No one wanted to meet grim reapers like her because their appearance usually meant someone was about to die. No one looked forward to seeing her, and most saw her job as inauspicious.

Myla had grown used to it over the years, but seeing Vincent disappointed in her still caused a faint ache in her chest.

Not wanting to linger longer, she stripped off her usual chatty self and turned around. In a flash, her soul form phased cleanly through the wall and vanished from the lounge.

Vincent instinctively reached out to her, but she was already gone.

Gritting his teeth, he lunged for the door and flung it open before running after her in the direction she'd disappeared.

At this moment, Max was approaching with some stage design edited pictures. He blinked in surprise as Vincent sprinted over.

"Vincent, what's going on?"

But Vincent didn't pause to answer. He charged down the hallway toward the stage, while Max followed in confusion.
