Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2376

After departing from the depths of the domain, Shannon and Albany arrived at Fennec's apartment. Surprisingly, a figure stood before the door.

The way they looked at her indicated they had waited there for some time.

"I knew you'd come see her if you're ever in the alternate world."

Standing outside Fennec's apartment door was a slender and tall man. Despite not having seen him for ages, Shannon and Albany instantly recognized him.

"Jordan!"

Faced with its ex-creator, who had abandoned it, Albany showed no sign of hiding its hostility and caution toward him.

As Kai would say, this was a textbook case of hatred born from love. Of course, Albany would never admit that.

"Why are you in the alternate world? The Alternate Divine Power has been sealed—it's redundant for you to come here!"

Albany instinctively assumed Jordan was after the Alternate Divine Power. After all, he had become the divine envoy because of the latter.

Jordan simply glanced at the talking turtle, which had doubled in size, and didn't entertain it, considering it was as dynamic as ever.

Instead, he answered, "I'm aware the Alternate Divine Power has been sealed. I'm not here for it."

As he spoke, he turned to Shannon and continued, "As for why I'm here, you gotta ask her."

Shannon locked eyes with Jordan, calmly stating, "When the Might of the Divine Power sealed the vortex, everything from the alternate world was pushed back to where it belonged—everything except the souls of those who had already died there."

Take Clara, for example. She had already died in the alternate world, so even though she was a living soul from the alternate world reborn, she wouldn't be forcibly recalled by the Might of the Divine Power.

Jordan was similarly a soul from the alternate world who had succeeded in a body takeover. By that logic, he shouldn't have been recalled to this world either.

Unless—like Albany, which had become entangled with the Might—he was able to return not in spite of, but because of it. Even if his body came from the alternate world, he would still be deemed part of this one by default.

"Did you come here to ask me to bring you back to the original world?" Shannon asked him.

Having been "manually muted", Albany was no longer disrupting the conversation. Jordan naturally didn't care about its opinion and answered Shannon's question instead.

"From the moment my identity was exposed, I no longer existed in that world."

He had abandoned everything that belonged to Jordan Huxley, including his parents.

He once believed he was upholding the faith of the Alternate Divine Power, but somewhere along the way, his belief had quietly changed.

If Albany, the system, was a failure, then what was he, its chosen divine envoy, if not a failure as well?

Since the original world was no longer an option for returning, his choice was to stay in the alternate world.

Perhaps, one day, when the chance to witness the destruction of the Alternate Divine Power dawned, it would finally draw an end to their doomed relationship.

Shannon looked at Jordan, locking eyes for a couple of seconds. Then, she said…
