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.”

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

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

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?”
