Chapter 448
Feelings of aggrievedness washed over Derek.
He was not even the one who had caused the harm.
Why was he the one suffering?
âItâs because this hand has not yet reached a level of cultivation where it can free itself from the Undead Corpse Kingâs control!
âIt will take a great deal of time before the resentful energy can alter the handâs structure completelyâ¦â Nash explained.
Derek buried his face in the hay. âGood lord⦠Am I just the unluckiest soul in the entire world?â
Nash smiled. âYou should be happy this hand hasnât yet attained a level of cultivation where it can commit murder⦠If not, your butt would have already been used to fertilize the mountain!
âPfftâ¦â
âHahaâ¦â
âSorry, I couldnât hold it inâ¦â
Melody burst into laughter.
Heidi tried forcing herself to hold it in, but she soon began laughing as well.
The loud sounds of everyoneâs laughter embarrassed Derek immensely.
Another hour passed, and they began feasting on the roasted meat.
Once the sun rose, they would begin their return journey.
Nobody dared dawdle, for they wanted to bring Derek to Madam Lunaris as soon as possible.
âMr. Nash⦠Will I ever get the chance to become part of the Tomb Whisperer Lineage again?â
Anders had a sheepish expression on his face.
Although he always claimed it was time for him to retire⦠Bradley and Old Herera had inspired
him.
He should work hard to preserve and pass down the skills his ancestors had used to keep their family alive.
Old Herera looked at Nash. âMr. Calcraft, if youâre not against it, Iâd be willing to convince the Herera family members to join the Tomb Whisperer Lineage!â
An overjoyed expression appeared on Bradleyâs face when he heard that.
The Herera familyâs tomb-raiding techniques had originated from the Tomb Whisperer Manual. However, they had also refined it so much that their pinpointing skills, which was one of their killer techniques, were unlike anything they had ever seen before.
If the Herera family joined the Tomb Whisperer Lineage, they could rise the ranks even more
quickly.
Nash smiled. âOf course⦠The doors of the Tomb Whisperer Lineage are always open!â
Smiles appeared on Andersâ and Old Hereraâs faces.
Nash added, âYou should contact Yoseph once we get out of this place and secure yourselves positions in the National Archaeological Teamâ¦â
Stunned looks immediately appeared on their faces.
Anders asked in a low voice, âSir⦠are you disbanding the Tomb Whisperer Lineage?â
`Bradley said in panic, âNo, sir, you canât do that. The Tomb Whisperer Lineage has survived
for over 1,800 years⦠We canât just disband it at a momentâs notice!â
After the disasters that had befallen the Youngs and the Tomb Whisperer Lineage, he had gone into hiding so he could ensure the Tomb Whisperer Lineageâs survival.
Now that their patriarch was talking about disbanding the Tomb Whisperer Lineage, he was strongly against it.
âIâm not going to disband the Tomb Whisperer Lineage. Iâm just asking you guys to switch up the environment youâre working in!â
âTimes have changed. The rapid evolution of society means there are even more ways of earning money now!â
Nash put his hands behind his back as he spoke in a calm voice that exuded irresistible gravitas.
Bradleyâs brows were still knitted together, but he lowered his head and said, âWeâll do as you say, sir!â
Anders smiled slightly. âVery wise of you, sir!â
Old Herera sighed. âPerhaps⦠weâre the ones being foolish by being so stubbornâ¦â
He turned to look at the rising sun and heaved his grandsonâs corpse onto his back before walking away.
Anders exchanged numbers with Bradley before he hurried after Old Herera.
Once the two were a good distance away, Bradley, who was still unwilling to give up, asked, Sir⦠are you sure?â
âYes, Iâve made up my mind!â
Nash nodded determinedly.
Heidi had a disappointed look on her face. âDoes that mean my dream of joining the Tomb Whisperer Lineage will never come true?â
Nash laughed. âBoth the Tomb Whisperer Lineage and the National Archaeological Team are teams you can work in. You should go on archaeological trips with Mr. Bradley in the future!â
Bradley sounded worried as he said, âOur identities are out of the ordinary. Iâm worriedâ¦â
âDo you think thatâs not the case for Yoseph?â
Nash interrupted Bradley, âIâll take care of things for everyone. No need to worry!â
Given his connections, it would be relatively easy for him to locate an archaeological team that
would take them in.
Derek hobbled over. âGosh⦠Can you guys be more considerate of my feelings?â
