âHeâll die⦠Heâs going to die⦠Heâs your brother. Why didnât you stop him?â Margaret wailed. Yasmin pursed her lips, hugged her mother tightly, and cried together.
In the living room, Derek leaned against the wall and listened to his motherâs and sisterâs cries as his heart ached.
He walked to his grandfatherâs grave and silently prayed for his blessing.
The next day, it was still dark at Perryâs funeral parlor.
Bradley sat on the ground as he prayed.
âJoel⦠donât blame me for not helping you with your funeral! As your father, I will
youâ¦
âThe tomb of the King of Medicine will absolutely not be preempted by others!â

Bradley glanced at the black and white photo of his son in front of the coffin and could not help but shed tears.
âDad⦠may you find peace and comfort! You didnât get to enjoy your blessings, so let me enjoy them for you!â
Nico knelt on the ground and prayed.
Bradley slapped Nico on the back of the head and said angrily, âYou brat, canât you say something nicer?â
Nico sniffed and whispered, âGrandpa⦠Mr. Nash and the others are here!â
Bradley stood up and said, âLetâs go!â
There was a single black off-road car in the parking lot.
Nico and Bradley had already loaded their luggage into the car.
As soon as they opened the car door, they saw Nicoâs mother sitting in the car.
She said expressionlessly, âDad⦠I donât care if you go, but you canât take Nico with you!â
She had just lost her husband and did not want to lose her son too.
Bradleyâs lips trembled as he said, âXara⦠Nico was born with an impressive sense of smell⦠He was born for this!â
The woman stared at Bradley coldly. âWas killing your own son not good enough for you? Do you want to get Nico killed too?â
In her point of view, Bradley was the cause of her husbandâs death.
Nico said timidly, âMom⦠Itâs because Dad died in the tomb of the King of Medicine thatâs why weâre going there to find out the truth. Weâre also doing this to fulfill Dadâs wish!â
âShut your mouth!â Xara snapped.
Nico quickly tightened his lips.
Xara glared at Bradley and threatened, âIf you dare take Nico with you today, then Iâll set your sonâs funeral parlor on fire!â
âYou⦠You donât make the decisions in the Perry family!â
Bradley was starting to get angry too, hence his cold demeanor.
At this moment, a woman named Ophelia walked over with a teenage girl.
âBradley, take my daughter with you!â Ophelia said as she pushed her daughter into the car.
âOphelia, are you mad?â
Xara stared at Ophelia dumbfoundedly.
She was trying her best not to let Bradley take Nico but Ophelia, on the other hand, was willingly offering her own daughter to go.
They were going to rob a grave.
She looked at Opheliaâs daughter and thought, âSheâs just 16!â
âWhat else am I supposed to do? Sheâs the only Sanders heir⦠Both her grandfather and father were in this industry too, so obviously, I canât break the tradition, right?â
Ophelia glanced at Xara and then at Bradley, who had an ashen expression, before realizing the situation at hand.
She quickly comforted Xara. âDonât worry, Xara⦠Look at it this way. Even if you stop Nico this time, thereâs no guarantee that you can stop him for the rest of his lifeâ¦
âLet them go now when theyâre still young and energetic. Getting some experience now may not be a bad thingâ¦
âYou just have to be more open about thisâ¦â
âI canât!â
Xara crossed her arms around her chest and turned her head to the side.
This industry was inherently disgraceful, and the money her father-in-law had earned was sufficient for generations to enjoy.
She could not understand why Bradley wanted Nico to go on this risky venture.
