The Heiress Reborn with A Mystic Space
Chapter 167 Danger
Finished
Back inside her tent, a hot surge of blood rose to her throat and spilled past her lips. Lillian staggered, clutching her chest as she forced the chaotic energy back down. She vanished into her space in a flash— there was no time to hesitate. Her spiritual power was rioting inside her body, something she had never experienced before.
Blue and Sunny bolted toward her the moment she appeared.
“The space is overflowing with energy. That vein you absorbed is too massive-you can’t handle it yet!” Blue’s voice was taut with alarm.
The little fox whined anxiously, circling her feet.
Lillian swallowed the feeling of detonation building in her veins and asked weakly, “What if I transfer the vein out right now p>
“You can’t,” Blue said firmly. “Ivory holds its own spiritual power. Now that the entire vein is inside, the energy is feeding the space directly. If you push the ore back out, it will just be dead ivory. The power itself will stay here, growing stronger p>
“Then what do I do p>
“You’ll have to seal yourself in the space and suppress it bit by bit with your mind,” Blue replied. “It’ll take a long time. But your body can only last twelve hours before the space collapses on its own p>
“How long are we talking?” she pressed. If it was years, she needed to plan-she couldn’t vanish without warning and leave Karina and the others in danger.
Blue hesitated. “That depends entirely on your mental strength. It could be one or two years… it could be five or six. The vein is enormous p>
Lillian drew in a steadying breath. “Fine. I’ll make sure I come back within twelve hours.” Right now she couldn’t disappear. If Richard realized she was gone, he’d only turn on her friends again.
She left the space and walked toward Richard’s tent.
Just as she reached the flap, voices carried through the canvas.
“My affairs don’t concern you,” Richard snapped.
“What? Impossible-how could the company’s stock be forcibly taken p>
“The Lewis family in Solara. And Anxin Group… since when were they involved p>
“I don’t know p>
A pause. Then Richard’s voice dropped. “What did you say? Lillian-how would they know she’s in my
hands p>
Another beat of silence.

“…Fine. I’ll return for now p>

When the conversation ended, Lillian stepped inside. Richard sat with his sharp features clouded in shadow, but at the sight of her, he smoothed his expression. His tone was curt. “What do you want p>

She ignored his mood and got straight to the point. “I want to know when you’ll let me go. You asked me to evaluate the mine-I’ve already done that. By tonight, that cave will yield ivory. There’s no reason to keep me. Have someone take me back. I still have school p>
Richard leaned back, studying the girl sprawled casually against the sofa. Who exactly is she? His voice was edged with suspicion. “What’s your connection to the Austine family p>
“Austine family…” The moment she heard it, a face flashed across her mind, and warmth rose quietly in her chest.
Richard caught the shift in her expression. He didn’t need her answer. The cold curl of his mouth said enough. “So you do know him. I underestimated you, Ms. Lillian. At your age, to have so many people vying for you already p>
“Don’t flatter me. If you can set your sights on me, why wouldn’t others?” Her voice was cool, steady. “You only want my gambling skills. Others will want different things. And don’t forget-wasn’t I just in Morovia with the president of Anxin Group? That makes one more rival for you p>
Her words were deliberate, a warning. If he wanted to use her, then he’d better be ready to face the retaliation of everyone else who had marked her.
Richard’s face darkened further. If this kept spiraling, Stint Corp would collapse in days. He hadn’t imagined that one teenage girl could stir up such chaos.
“Enough…” He began, jaw tight.
But a rasping voice cut in from behind him.
“No. She cannot be released p>
