Chapter 452

Bradley had whispered to Nash about this matter.

Back then, he simply mentioned that Madam Lunaris might possess Unicorn Blood.

Unicorns were legendary creatures. While outsiders might dismiss such tales, Nash believed them without hesitation.

After all, if immortal cultivators existed, why not legendary beasts?

Otherwise, Madam Lunaris would not have boldly demanded a sky-high price of three billion.

“Was it really unicorn blood?”

Melody’s eyes widened in surprise.

She had thought Heidi was just making up a story to provoke Nash.’

Yet everything Heidi said turned out to be true.

“I’m not 100% sure. But what I can confirm… is that the severed hand will significantly boost Ken’s power!”

Nash also could not confirm if it was unicorn blood, but he felt a terrifying energy within Ken’s right hand’s bones and blood.

“Holy moly, then this is genuinely a unicorn arm!

“But come to think of it, we just picked Ken up on the road. Is it worth investing three billion. on him?”

Melody was somewhat puzzled.

This was not 300,000 or three million but a whopping three billion.

Even with her vast wealth, she felt the pinch.

After a pause, she continued to mutter, “Finn’s been with you for some time. Wouldn’t it have been better to spend that three billion on him instead of Ken?”

Nash replied with a smile, “Wouldn’t it have been even better if I had given you that hand?”

“I definitely don’t want it…”

Melody shook her head quickly.

The hand of the Undead Corpse King was so unsightly; she would not want it attached to her. “That settles it, then. I did ask Finn, didn’t I? He didn’t want it, so there was nothing I could do.”

Nash looked amused and resigned.

He was not sure if Melody/was more concerned about the three billion or that she found Ken unreliable.

Melody sighed helplessly.

The money had already been spent; there was no point in arguing.

After a moment’s thought, Nash explained, “Ken has been to Salene and Holy Martial but was expelled from both. He even faced persecution from his enemies later on. His difficult life shaped his introverted nature.

“A person like him, in his quest to become stronger, would sacrifice everything. He’s probably the only one willing to accept the hand of the Undead Corpse King.”

A spark appeared in Melody’s eyes. “Are you trying to cultivate a force to combat the Kleins?”

The Kleins had numerous martial arts experts, while Nash was at a disadvantage. To topple such a behemoth, he definitely needed to nurture a powerful martial arts force.

Nash just smiled and remained silent.

He simply did not want to waste the Undead Corpse King’s severed hand.

Upon learning that Madam Lunaris might have unicorn blood, he was even more tempted.

The combination of unicorn blood and the Undead Corpse King’s severed hand would be incredibly powerful.

He did not want these items to fall into others’ hands.

Of course, Melody had a point.

Winning Ken’s loyalty was his primary objective.

The three billion was well-spent, or it could even be considered a steal.

Upon arriving at Jonford Airport, Melody planned to treat Heidi to a luxurious stay at a five- star hotel.

Meanwhile, Nash decided to take a cab back to Royal Bay.

“Hera didn’t come to pick you up?”

Melody asked curiously when she saw Nash hailing a cab.

“I didn’t exactly tell her…”

“Well, in that case, buy her some flowers and gifts. You haven’t seen each other in such a long time. You have to give a little surprise, no?” Melody said with a smile.

“Thanks for the reminder. I’ll keep that in mind!”

Nash had not thought of this.

He instructed the taxi driver to head to Jonford’s best flower shop.

The driver made a U-turn and said with a smile, “There’s a new florist called Warm Flower Garden that just opened today. They’re offering a 50% discount on all flowers… Want to go there?”

“Maybe not. How awkward would it be if word got out that I bought discounted flowers for my wife?” Nash replied with a raised eyebrow and a smile.
