Timothy picked up the teacup and took a sip. âThere shouldnât be any survivors from the Youngs⦠As for Nash and the Smiling Grim Reaper⦠let Sawyer handle them!â
Martin swallowed hard. âI sent Sawyer to kill Hera, but he was stopped by the Skyesâ protector, Sherman Smugh!â
âSherman Smugh?â
âHeâs no match for Sawyer.â
Timothy frowned and snorted.
Then, Martin detailed the eveningâs events to his father.
After listening, Timothy narrowed his eyes. âThis Nash kid seems to have a deep connection with the Kleinsâ¦â
Martin whispered, âFather, do you think Nash could be the Smiling Grim Reaper?â
Timothy took a deep breath. âItâs possible. Francis Dunn once impersonated the Smiling Grim Reaper to approach me⦠But no worries, just let Sawyer deal with him.â
Martin expressed his concerns. âIf Nash is the Smiling Grim Reaper⦠he might still have the Heavenly Martial Arts Order⦠if we fail to kill Nash and anger him, the consequences are unimaginableâ¦â
Hearing this, Timothyâs brows furrowed.
This Nash kid was indeed troublesome.
The eldest, Marvin, suggested, âI think we should wait for our great ancestor to come out of his seclusion.â
Timothy sighed. âThat seems to be the only option.â
The next morning, around 8:00 am, Nash and his group finally arrived in Xanthalos.
Melody sent a voice message in the temporarily formed Tomb Whisperer Lineage WhatsApp group, âIâve booked a luxurious villa in the suburbs. It offers a chance to enjoy the local scenery and provides a place to rest!â
Heidi cheered: [Yay! Iâve never stayed in a luxurious villa before. Melâs the best!]
Derek chimed in: [Rich lady, I love you!]
Nico added: [+1.]
Bradley chuckled and said: [Mel⦠remember weâre not here for vacation.]
Melody arrogantly responded, âI donât care⦠I need at least a day of rest!â
After being in the car for over 20 hours, she felt incredibly uncomfortable.
Nash sent a voice message, saying, âLetâs find a place to eat first.â
Bradley replied: [Weâre currently in Southern Xanthalos⦠Letâs find food in Northern
Xanthalos.]
Two hours later, they finally reached Northern Xanthalos and parked outside a rural restaurant.
After getting out of the car, Melody took a deep breath.
Suddenly, she looked up to see a window where an exceptionally ugly old woman was staring
at them.
Her hair was disheveled, her back hunched, and her eyes were eerily white.
Even though Melody was a high-level expert of the Profound Reality Realm, the eerie sight made her slightly uneasy.
The old woman asked in a raspy voice, âAre you here looking for accommodation or food?â
âF-Food,â Melody responded hesitantly.
She did not want to rest or even eat here.
However, this was the only nearby place to get food, and it was Bradley who had found it.
âFive hundred per person!â the old woman declared, then shut the window and drew the curtains before heading downstairs.
âF-Five hundred bucks?â
Derekâs eyelids twitched. âShe should just ro us. Why bother running this restaurant?â
