He regretted telling Nash about Anders now.
Back when Anders was in the Tomb Whisperer Lineage, he had been loyal. He left only because he was seduced by a woman from the raider families. At the very least, Anders never did anything to betray the Tomb Whisperer Lineage.
Anders took some medicine from his bag, poured it onto his mutilated right eye, and then bandaged himself.
Heidi suggested, âNash, letâs sketch out the 18 Rings of Doom first!â
Nash smiled and nodded. âI was thinking the same thingâ¦â
Heidi took out paper and a pen from her bag, handing them over while blinking her innocent eyes. âYou can see the inscriptions on the coffin clearly⦠We canât!â
With a chuckle, Nash accepted the items and used a grappling hook and rope to get onto the coffin.
Sitting at the edge of the coffin, he began sketching small grids, starting with the outermost circle that contained 180 grids.
As the circle narrowed, the grids became smaller, and the inscriptions on them even tinier.
Drawing the 3,000 grids and the Somerese characters would take at least two hours.
Melody and the others gathered to eat MRE meals.
Bradley handed a pack to Anders. âMr. Anders, you should eat something.â
Melody remarked, âMr. Bradley, we donât have much food left, and weâll need several days to get back!â
Seeing Nashâs disdain for Anders, she naturally was not fond of the old man.
Others felt similarly. Finn glanced at Anders and commented, âMr. Bradley, Heidi and Melody eat so much. Theyâve almost consumed all the food we brought!â
With a fierce glare, Melody retorted, âWhat do you mean? Are you saying you havenât eaten at all?â
Finn grinned. âWho among us eats as much as you and Heidi?â
Heidiâs cheeks turned red, and she fell silent.
On their journey, she and Melody had indeed indulged in food.
Then, arguments erupted among the
group.
Feeling too embarrassed to accept their food, Anders laughed it off. âIâm not hungry just yet⦠Itâs better to save the food.â/
Just after he spoke, his stomach grumbled in protest.
He had not eaten or drunk anything since morning, and escaping through the tomb passages had drained a lot of his energy.
Bradley chuckled. âThis is my share. You take it and eat up!â
Though Anders had done some questionable things regarding the Tomb Whisperer Lineage, they were not that grave.
The Young familyâs patriarch, Christopher, had not only forgiven Anders but had even given him billions to settle down.
Plus, Bradley and Anders shared a deep bond from past adventures.
Anders declined again. âIâm truly not hungry. If youâre not eating it, save it for the journey back!â
Then, he asked with a smile, âRemember how in our tomb raiding days, Iâd go days without eating?â
Bradley put the MRE pack into his bag, took out some compressed biscuits and a bottle of water, and handed them forcefully to Anders. âYou were so young back then. How can you compare yourself to that time?â
Anders looked at the others, who were all engrossed in their own meals. Then, he accepted the food with a bitter smile. âI truly appreciate it.â
Having lived for so many years, he could read their minds.
Bradley was helping him despite the teamâs reluctance, and he was grateful. However, he also knew this would make the others resent Bradley more.
Sitting down while rolling a cigarette, Bradley asked, âHow did raider families?â

up
with the major
Dating back thousands of years, the founding members of the nine major raider families were part of the Tomb Whisperer Lineage.
It was always members of the major raider families trying to get into the Tomb Whisperer Lineage, not the other way around.
Bradley was rather choked up thinking of Anders joining the major raider families.
âAfter I left the Tomb Whisperer Lineage, I wanted to rid myself of the past. But later, my son lost all our money in business and accumulated massive debts.
âEvery day, debt collectors came knocking. It was Old Herera who cleared my sonâs debts and helped us out of our troubles.â
