Nash hurriedly grabbed the old woman’s hand.


    He was about to ask her what the matter was when he realized she had no pulse.


    “My grandmother was on the receiving end of a Profound Grappling p, and she has long since


    reached the end of her life… She’s been hanging on by sheer will all this while!” Melody choked out,


    her eyes filled with tears.


    “Profound Grappling p?”


    Nash had an unsettled look on his face as he activated his Third Eye and took a look at her heart.


    Her heart was shriveled, while her blood vessels were severely clogged.


    By right, she should have perished a long while ago.


    Nash had never seen something like this, and all he could do was his best.


    He raised his right hand and allowed seven snake-shaped golden needles to slide downward from his


    sleeves.


    “Divine Needles…”


    “Are you Master Calcraft’s disciple?”


    Melody’s eyes gleamed as if she had found a life-saving opportunity. However, that gleam soon faded


    from her eyes.


    “My grandmother’s life was in danger after receiving a Profound Grappling p five years ago. My


    grandfather brought her to Tili Mountain, and Master Calcraft initially said there was no saving her and


    only agreed to extend her life when he learned she was from the Young Family Vige… Master


    Calcraft said she would survive another three years, but she has persevered for five years!”


    “In recent months, her heart rate has begun dropping every time she expends energy or speaks!”


    “She must have used up what’s left of her lifespan after using the Lion’s Roar method and speaking at


    such great lengths today!”


    Melody’s features contorted themselves into a look of grief as she spoke.


    Nash’s hands trembled, and he dropped the Divine Needles he had been holding.


    There was nothing more he could do if even his master said there was no saving her.


    The heart was where a person’s vitality originated. It could be fixed if it was just weakened or injured.


    However, the old woman’s heart had stopped beating many years ago. She had only managed to stay


    alive for as long as she had because his master had gone against the heavens.


    He worried he would speed up the old woman’s death if he ced the needles in her body.


    “Little Master… I can die without any regrets… now that I got to see you…”


    The old woman leaned into the couch, her breath barely a whisper as she summoned what was left of


    her energy said disjointedly, “Melody… take good care of him… The Stone family… must serve the


    Young family for… forever…”


    All signs of life vanished from her body once shepleted her sentence.


    “Grandma…”


    Melody knelt on the ground and let out an ear-piercing wail.


    Outside the mansion.


    A look of delight appeared on the face of an old man wearing a sanitation worker’s uniform. He


    immediately retrieved his phone and made a phone call.


    “Sir… the olddy is dead!’


    “Are you sure?”


    “Yes, I’m sure. Melody Stone is crying her heart out right now!”


    “Alright. I’ll send some men over immediately.”


    “Hahah… Sir, the two hundred thousand dors you promised me…”


    “Don’t worry. You’ll get your pay!”


    After hanging up the phone…

    The sanitation worker continued sweeping the streets.


    Suddenly, arge and strong hand encircled the nape of his neck.


    Finn held the old man the way one would a chick and dragged him into the mansion.


    At the Young Gardens…


    Philix and Ster sat before Christopher’s grave and poured themselves drinks.


    Candles were ced before each tombstone, and smoke wafted through the air.


    Philix filled the ss before his father’s tombstone and said sadly, “Dad… give me another three years.


    Once I calm down the unrest at the borders, I’ll do everything to find the Klein family and avenge our


    family!”
