Outside the residential area, Xeno swapped the car into a brand new off-road Porsche.
Derek walked over to the car’s window empty-handed.
Xeno looked at the wound on Derek’s forehead and asked, “What happened there?”
“I ran into a door…”
Derek grinned.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a beautiful woman in the back seat, which caused his
eyes to brighten with interest.
“Mr. Nash… is this your girlfriend?”
“I’m a trusted descendant of the Youngs like you!”
Melody replied, then picked up a bottle of water to moisten her throat.
The off-road vehicle had six seats. Nash pointed to the back seat. “Go sit there!”
Derek climbed into the car and immediately greeted Finn, “Hello…”
Finn smiled and replied, “Hello, what’s your name?”
“I’m Derek Judd, and you?”
“Pfft…” Melody spat out a mouthful of water.
“Ahahaha… I’m so sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose!” Sheughed as she apologized.
Derek! It was such an old-school name to her.
Finn squeezed his thigh to refrain himself from bursting out inughter and said in a deep voice, “I’m
Finn. It’s nice to meet you!”
Derek was a descendent of the Youngs like Melody, but she was worth billionspared to him.
The two were iparable.
“It’s nice to meet you too, Finn…”
Derek was used to peopleughing at his name, so he just asked, “Who’s the woman in the front
seat?”
Melody pouted and said, “You’re probably 30 years old at least, right? Can’t you speak to me with more
respect?”
Derek smiled awkwardly. “Sorry… I’m not too good with words!”
“I’m Melody Stone, fresh and young in my 20s!” Melody introduced herself with a smile.
Nash could not help butugh. “You’re 28! Fresh and young in your 20s refers to a beautifuldy who
has just turned 20! Aren’t you embarrassed when you say that?”

The smile on Melody’s face froze, and her eyebrows raised. “Let’s not talk about age. You’re still my
master.”
Nash smiled and kept his mouth closed.
Derek could not help butugh too.
He thought that the trusted descendants of the Youngs would have to behave like ves in front of the
Youngs.
However, by the looks of it, Mr. Nash’s attitude toward the descendants was as if they were real friends.
Xeno nced at his watch. “It’s already past seven o’clock. It’s almost rush hour soon. Why haven’t
they shown up yet?”
Derek frowned and said, “Nico’s mother isn’t willing to let him go to Xanthalos… Ms. Ophelia is trying to
convince her now!”
He understood Xara’s intentions better than anyone else.
Her intentions were identical to his own mother. They did not want to let their children risk their lives.
Nico drove out of the residential area in his Honda.
Xara and Ophelia stood worriedly at the gate.
Yasmin limped over with Margaret to the gate too.
Their faces were stained with tears and worry.
Melody whispered, “Mr. Nash, are you not going down to reassure them?”
“I can’t make that promise…”
Nash understood what Melody meant. If he were to tell them that he would bring everyone back safely,
they would feel more at ease.
However, the tomb of the King of Medicine was full of undead corpses, deathworms, and many
unknown dangers.
It was uncertain if everyone could make it out alive.
Melody pursed her red lips. “Aren’t you afraid of death?”
“Of course! Wealth and honor are predestined; life and death are in the hands of fate!
“There is no one in this world who isn’t afraid of death. The experts… all crawl out from the gap
between life and death!”
