Chapter 1969 - Snow Lotus of the Scar (2/2)

“The Mailong Private Military Company… even a renowned organization based in Dubai has come to Tianshan Mountain. It’s going to be bustling on the mountain!” Zhao Manyan exclaimed.

The Mailong Private Military Company was reputable throughout Asia. Its members were strong and reliable. The jobs they took were not just quests submitted by the Hunter Alliance. They were even hired to fight in some of the wars in the Middle East!

Zhao Manyan was quite at ease after joining the mercenary group.

“I heard the Mailong Private Military Group has its own city in the Middle East?” Jiang Shaoxu asked him.

“Yes, they do have their own city. They collect tax from the residents just like a normal government, but their main focus is still on mercenary jobs and exploration. They have been sponsored by the Liden Royal Family to explore the Scar of Tianshan Mountain. The Liden Royal Family wants to make a name for themselves, but they are also looking for the Snow Lotus of the Scar to treat their queen’s illness,” Ai Jiangtu told the rest of them.

“The Liden Royal Family is quite wealthy and imposing,” Zhao Manyan exclaimed.

“Your family is here too. They have hired one of the top Hunter Groups in our country,” Guan Yu mentioned to him.

Zhao Manyan twisted his lips. He did not comment on the topic.

He had no clue what Zhao Youqian was up to. The man had hired one of the most expensive Hunter Groups in the country!

It was not like they were traveling to the moon to raise their flags on it.

“What illness is the queen of the Liden Royal Family suffering from?” Mo Fan asked. He had heard something about the queen from Xinxia.

Tata did not let Xinxia use her Spell of Resurrection because she was hoping Xinxia would reserve her remaining energy for the queen, earning the Liden Royal Family’s support.

Both Xinxia and Izisha had tried to cure the queen’s illness, but it was beyond their capabilities!

“It’s not really an illness… but she has reached the end of her lifespan. Not everyone can live for a hundred years. Some people have already reached their limit in their fifties or sixties. It’s not that complicated,” Jiang Yu said.

Mo Fan only realized the truth after hearing Jiang Yu’s words. No wonder both Izisha and Xinxia were unable to do anything about it!

Even the Spell of Resurrection was not going to save someone who had reached the end of their lifespan. The Spell of Resurrection did not make a person immortal. It was not going to work for someone who was dying a natural death!

“I know a thing or two about the Liden Royal Family. The queen isn’t on friendly terms with her first grandson. She wants her youngest grandson to be her successor. She even wrote it into her will, but her youngest grandson is still in his mother’s womb. She will only give birth half a year from now. A kid who isn’t born doesn’t have the right to be her successor. If the queen can’t live until her little grandson is born, all her wealth will fall into her first grandson’s hands,” Zhao Manyan told everyone.

“The Snow Lotus of the Scar can extend a person’s lifespan. Rumors say it can make a person live at least three to five years longer, up to ten years at most, so the queen is willing to spend a fortune to hire the Mailong Private Military Company,” Jiang Shaoxu said.

“That’s fine, they can look for the Snow Lotus of the Scar while we look for our Totem Beasts,” Zhao Manyan said.

“What Totem Beasts?” Nanyu asked with glittering eyes.

Zhao Manyan put on an awkward face when he realized he had carelessly spilled the beans.

“We are here to look for a Totem Beast,” Jiang Shaoxu explained quickly. She believed there was no need to keep it a secret.

“The Sacred Tiger of Tianshan Mountain?” Nanyu asked sharply.

“You know about it?” Jiang Shaoxu was surprised.

“Did you forget? I’m very interested in our ancient heritage, and the most mysterious heritage of our country is the Totem Beasts!” Nanyu said confidently.
