Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2379

Sometimes, even Jordan couldn't tell whether he was too immersed in the role he was playing, or his rebirth had truly changed something within his soul.

He believed he felt little attachment to his so-called parents. So, when the Special Security Agents came for him, he abandoned his identity as a Huxley without a second thought.

The observation journal was complete. It was time to do what he was meant to do.

He assumed Maverick and Kamila shared the same feelings about him, but when The Rift sealed off Seastone City, and they fell into a coma because of the Dreambeast, he didn't follow through on his agreement with Ghost Mist.

Instead, he returned to their home.

That was when he began to sense that their presence meant something different to him, albeit vaguely. Even though all these years, he had never clearly felt their love.

Still, who was to say that the quiet, ordinary life wasn't love in its own way?

Later, Jordan couldn't help but wonder what would happen to his parents if he ever completed the task given by the Alternate Divine Power. Would they be erased by their alternate selves?

Or would they, one day, learn from the mouth of the alternate him that their real son had died long ago, and that the one they had cared for all these years was merely an evil spirit that had inhabited their child's body?

He realized that, no matter which outcome came true, he couldn't accept it.

Therefore, he chose to leave things as they were. He refused to go back to them, as he had never been the kind of person to cling to the idea of family.

Everything he had wanted to feel had been felt. For the rest of his life, it was enough just to know they were living well.

As for why he sought out Shannon and offered to guard the seal on the Alternate Divine Power?

He simply wanted to make sure that the consciousness behind it would never escape. As long as that never happened, the original world would never be dragged into another Descent of the Alternate World.

They were quietly eating, exchanging a few words now and then. Everything looked just as it had in the original world.

Except that in this one, they had no child named Jordan.

The next day, at the same time, he met up with Shannon and Benjamin. He didn't have to wait long before she announced her decision to him.

"I will give you access to the inner domain. You won't be able to use any powers while inside, but if anything unusual occurs, you can reach me through the domain's resonance.

"Besides that, you'll also be responsible for watching over the other half of its true form sealed within the domain."

She continued, "If you can accept this, from now on, you will be the sentry guarding the seal on the Alternate Divine Power and the catastrophe it contains."

Having anticipated her answer, Jordan nodded without hesitation. "Count me in."
