Chapter 1034 Declan Exposed
Upon hearing this, Fabian chuckled. He wasn’t sure how well others were at
reviewing geomantic layouts, but he knew firsthand just how formidable Wynter was
at it.
The current peace in their home and his Improved energy levels were largely due to Wynter’s revision of the Quinnell residence’s geomantic layout upon her return to Kingbourne.
Fabian hadn’t disclosed this to anyone.
Ever since Wynter was abducted, he had sensed an unseen malevolent force
gradually eroding the Quinnell family’s fortunes.
Both the Quinnell residence’s and the hotel’s geomantic layouts were clearly intentionally designed.
Whoever was behind this knew about geomancy, so Fabian was reluctant to inform

Suddenly, Kolton spoke up, “Outside! It’s outside the walls, too!”
The crow flapped his wings as he cawed, nearly rolling his eyes skyward.
Cultivators these days were getting worse. He had been cawing for so long. Couldn’t Kolton hear? Why was he still studying the layout there? Had he read himself dumb?
“Is the crow there, too?” Kolton was anxious to follow the geomantic layout and find
an exit.
Declan felt compelled to intervene “Mr. Pennington, there’s nothing outside.”
“That’s impossible. Mr. Declan, with all due respect, your geomantic layout, while
effective, shouldn’t be overused.” Kolton looked at Declan
Declan realized Kolton had seen through it, so now he could only play dumb. “Why
