Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2391

The man whom Gus intended to kill was none other than his father, also an ordinary human. There were no spiritual anomalies, signs of possession, or mystic interference.

Yet, the boy had somehow bypassed all normal screening and had his request land directly before Zidane.

"What's this? Mystic turned into the dark web now? People just post hit orders like we're open for business?"

Still, Zidane didn't close the file. In fact, he flickered his fingers, calling up more of Gus' background data.

At the side, Mordecai watched quietly, then asked, "Are you planning to interfere with mortal affairs?"

Petitions like this were something that the underworld received a thousand times per day. Unless the target had become a ghost, the underworld would absolutely not interfere.

That was the rule.

Mystic might operate differently, but Zidane came from the underworld. By all logic, he shouldn't even consider entertaining a request like this.

"I am now a man of the mortal realm." He suddenly piped up, indifferent and calm.

A single sentence, though simply a statement of fact, somehow drew a boundary between them. It became a subtle yet undeniable reminder of the distance that now lay between the two.

Seeing that Mordecai had fallen silent, Zidane suddenly stood up, ready to personally handle such a trivial matter. "Mystic's creed—order placed, mission accomplished."

No matter what method Gus used to place the request, Mystic had the obligation to fulfill the order. That was exactly the kind of business he originally dealt in.

Seeing that he had his own plan, Mordecai didn't say more and lifted his leg as if to follow. Zidane cast him a look. "Got a lot of free time, huh?"

Mordecai replied, "If you're going to kill someone, then bringing their soul back is a matter for the underworld."

In less than a second, the smoke dissipated, revealing that he was no longer in his regal clothing. Instead, he wore a sleek leather jacket and a pair of jeans.

The rough edge of the leather and the relaxed denim gave him a rebellious vibe, but his commanding presence and dangerous look still made it clear he was no ordinary man.

Zidane's gaze quickly swept over Mordecai's new outfit, raising an eyebrow in reluctant approval. He immediately beckoned with a finger, "Keep up."

With that, he snapped his fingers, and a ghost gate appeared in the void before them.

Watching Zidane step through first, Mordecai followed closely, long legs striding forward. Using the underworld's ghost gate as a passage, they swiftly stepped into the mortal realm in a second.

With a shift in perspective, they arrived right at where Gus was.
