I shook my head helplessly.
“Not me, it’s my grandma.”
“Grandma, come on out. You get half of today’s earnings.”
As soon as I finished speaking, a sturdy older woman darted out from behind the tree.
She chuckled.
“Girl, now you see how powerful your grandma is, huh?”
I explained to Marc that corpse guides weren’t some mysterious scam profession.
Initially, we existed to bring fallen soldiers and wandering travelers back to their homeland.
As times changed, many branched out into different trades to make a living.
But we’ve always remembered our ancestors‘ creed to guide the dead home.
*Every year, when the moon is at its fullest, Grandma travels to Morzantia to bring back the poor souls who’ve been wandering for too long.”
“I grew up with her. I know every road she’s ever taken like the back of my hand. That’s why I deliberately led your mother onto this path.” After hearing my explanation, Marc looked at me with a new sense of respect.
But the situation was urgent. We didn’t have time for small taik.
I quickly gave my grandmother a few instructions.
She continued on her way while Marc and I went to the police station to report the crimes committed by the Hernandez couple.
The police took the matter very seriously and quickly formed an investigation team.
Sure enough, the investigation revealed many shameful deeds.
The couple were equally evil–hearted, murdering, robbing and plundering.}
They had done all kinds of evil. They were both sentenced to death. Because it happened so suddenly.
Those illegitimate children had no chance to do paternity tests.
Marc naturally inherited all the property.
On that day, everything finally settled.
I suddenly received a transfer of one billion dollars into my bank account.}
Marc looked at me with a big, goofy grin.
“Down payment sent, Lexi Brooks. Wanna try marrying a living man and having a kid?“}
I playfully punched him, but still smiled and said yes.!
Good things come to those who wait.”
Often after many twists and turns.}
Time to kick back and enjoy retirement. Let the good life begin!}
