Chapter 2477
“Before exploring the tomb, my grandfather was the number one expert in Nanyang. In fact, he’s on par with a God of War!”
“But a mere stench turned him into a completely different person!”
“I took him to Hong Kong and looked everywhere for a doctor who could heal him.”
“Unfortunately, I soon discovered that neither western nor Chinese medicine could help.”
“Someone told me that he wasn’t sick, but was affected by destiny.”
“I knew that if I wanted to save him, I had to remove the stench from within his body.”
“I looked for a geomancy master all over Hong Kong, but none were skilled enough.”
“Even the so-called number one geomancy master in Hong Kong, Jon Surrey, simply showed me a grave expression after he
saw the state of my grandfather. He said he couldn’t do anything and left without even trying.”
“He did recommend me to the Five Virtues Temple, saying that there might be a chance for my grandfather to recover if the
Temple Master or the Maiden were to help.”
“Sadly, we don’t have the right to ask for their help in the first place.”
“After meeting you tonight, I was reminded of the information we had about you. Jon Surrey himself suffered greatly because of
you. You were the one that took care of the ghost, too.”
“So, I wanted to take the chance and see what
you got.”
Katy explained the entire situation to Harvey
without hiding a single detail.
During the entire time she talked, her alluring face was filled with worry and anxiety.
It seemed even the renowned Head Cobb still had a soft side to her.
Harvey narrowed his eyes at Katy, studying her expressions. His hostility for her faded slightly when he realized that her feelings
toward her grandfather were genuine.
“Don’t worry. I’m no geomancy master, but I do know quite a bit about the art of killing.”
“Since I gave you my word, I’ll do my best.”
The two walked past the small courtyard to a house that was about a thousand square feet big.
The house was built in a very strange manner. The entire place was covered with materials designed to keep the interior warm.
Other than the locked door and a ventilation window the size of a palm, every other place inside the house was sealed shut.
Without looking closely, one might mistake the place for a big tomb rather than a house.
Harvey frowned. Katy opened the door carefully,
and Harvey followed her inside.
A wave of heat gushed toward Harvey as soon as he entered the room.
There were air conditioners, floor heating systems, and burning fireplaces on three different walls, all switched on at the same
time.
In the middle of the room was a stove, where hot tea was boiling
Despite the humid temperature within the tomb like house, Harvey could still feel a biting chill.
The chill felt so real, and the entire place felt
close to Hell itself.
It was as if nothing could conceal the coldness in the room, not even the fireplaces or the floor heating systems.
Harvey soon spotted the source of the coldness,
and narrowed his eyes.
In the deeper parts of the room was a stone bed with burning charcoal under it. Yet, it was still not enough to suppress the
intense chill.
An old man with white hair lay on the bed, him being the source of the coldness.
“This is my grandfather, Dean Cobb.”
A flash of misery crossed Katy’s face when she looked at her grandfather.
“Ever since he returned, his body would get extremely cold every single day. He couldn’t even take a step outside.”
“If he leaves this place, he might just freeze to death.”
