Chapter 397

“Weather forecasts can sometimes be inaccurate!”

Bradley remarked, puffing on his pipe.

Madam Lunaris smiled faintly. “Thirty thousand for two nights’ stay and six meals.”

Nico looked at his grandfather. “We didn’t bring that much cash.”

The old lady quickly took out a QR code. “I also accept mobile payments!”

Bradley quickly scanned the code and paid 300,000.

Nico’s eyes widened. “Grandpa… you added an extra zero!”

Bradley chuckled. “That covers the hush money, equipment fee, and information fee.”

Nico wisely shut his mouth.

Madam Lunaris said with a soft smile, “I like dealing with straightforward people. There are six rooms on the third

floor. You all can decide who stays where. Come down for lunch at noon!”

Hence, Bradley led the group to the third floor.

Nash and Xeno shared a room, Heidi and Melody stayed together, Derek, Nico, and Bradley bunked in one room,

while Finn roomed with Ken.

After settling in, all nine of them gathered in Nash’s room.

Bradley explained to them the origins of the homestead.

Bradley chuckled.

Nico exclaimed, “Giving birth at 80? That’s just unbelievable!”

Nash looked calm and did not express any opinion.

She was a Mystique Loyalty Realm expert. She might look old, yet her physical capabilities were not inferior to a

younger person’s.

Finn chimed in, “Please continue, Mr. Bradley… Why did Madam Lunaris choose to open this homestead here?”

Bradley puffed on his pipe and resumed, “The Tomb Whisperer Lineage has been wandering

around Xanthalos for nearly a century. They primarily targeted tombs of emperors and generals. This attracted the

attention of many powerful families.

“Centuries ago,

there was a great battle between the Tomb Whisperer Lineage and the nine major raider families over a grand

tomb in the Nine Absolute Mountain Range. Madam Lunaris

ancestors were killed by the Youngs’ ancestors during that conflict!

“Over time, these nine families gradually declined. By Madam Lunaris’ generation, most had quit tomb raiding and

started legitimate businesses.”

Xeno suddenly inquired, “Are the nine families the nine major raider families?”
