The signal to the surveillance footage was interrupted.

After Melody disconnected the surveillance system’s cables in Sweedy’s hospital ward, she stated the
purpose of their arrival, “We’re here to take what Shanty gave you!”
Abruptly, a tremble ran through Sweedy. Her gaze that was fixed on them was filled with fear and
anxiety as she asked, “J-Just who are you guys?”
“I’m from the Young Family Village,” Nash revealed, as only by claiming to be from the Young Family
Village could they get Sweedy to hand over the fragment.
“Y-Young Family… Village? What is that place?” Sweedy was puzzled at first. However, she then
exclaimed in surprise, “How do you know my sister’s name?”
“My grandmother is also from Young Family Village. I heard about Shanty from her,” Melody said with a
blank expression as she crossed her arms.
After a long silence, Sweedy glared at Nash and asked, “Whose child are you? Is your family close to
my sister?”
“He’s the direct descendant of Christopher Young. Sweedy is just someone who married into the
branch family,” Melody answered on Nash’s behalf.
Sweedy looked at Nash in disbelief. “How can I trust you?”
“You have no choice. We need that last piece of the map,” Melody said coldly in a formidable manner.
She was exuding the aura of a strong and assertive businesswoman.
Sweedy came from a prestigious family but still lowered her head in Melody’s presence. “My sister
sewed the last piece into the ‘Map of Splendid Mountains and Rivers’. I handed that map to my third
brother for safekeeping…”
“Who’s your third brother?” Nash asked quickly.
“His name is Sylvan Joe,” Sweedy answered honestly.
“Do you know anything else about the Young family?” Nash asked again.
Sweedy revealed the truth she was privy to. “The Lanes and the Duersons were involved in the Young
family massacre!”
Her gaze was dodgy. She had considered exposing Walter as well, but given they were husband and
wife, she decided to keep that information hidden.
Nash, however, had already guessed that Walter had something to do with Sweedy being inflicted with
the Longhorn. “Your husband, Walter. He was involved too, right?”
It was clear to them now that Walter had made Sweedy a vegetable in order to hide certain secrets.
Sweedy had been in the ward ever since she woke up, and this showed that Walter was keeping her
confined there.
“When Howard came to Walter for manpower that time, Walter didn’t know that he had intended to deal
with the Young family. Walter had no choice but to agree to his request since he was a member of the
Green Bamboo Association,” Sweedy explained.
“Mr. Young, I beg you. Spare my husband’s life on the account that my sister is also from the Young
Family Village!” Sweedy pleaded with her head lowered.
Melody glanced at Nash from the corner of her eye, curious about how the man would handle this
situation.
“The ignorant bear no wrong.
“Walter was unaware of what happened back then and was forced to lend his manpower to Howard. I
don’t blame him,” Nash sighed and turned to Melody. “Let’s go look for Sylvan.”
They left the ward, and by coincidence, saw Walter walking toward them.
“Mr. Calcraft, is my wife okay?” Walter looked nervous. He was afraid that she might have revealed
some things to Nash.
“She’s fine. She just needs some more rest,” Nash replied expressionlessly before quickly walking
away with Melody.
“I’ll walk you out!” Walter called out and hurried after them.
After seeing Nash’s group off, he rushed to Sweedy’s room and asked coldly, “What did you tell them
just now?”
Nash’s attitude had changed dramatically from how he was earlier. Walter could not help but assume
the worst. Sweedy just shook her head. “I didn’t say anything.”
Since the Young family members had forgiven Walter, the Watsons would not face any retaliation.
Walter likely had no idea just who Nash was. Nash had even sent the others out just now, which meant
that he did not want anyone else to know his background either. In this case, she would also keep his
secret.
In an Audi outside the villa, Xeno had ended a call. With a dark expression, he said, “Sylvan has a
significant amount of debt. He used the Map of Splendid Mountains and Rivers as collateral to the
creditor, Black Tiger Hall. They, in turn, entrusted it to the Artful Prosperity Auction House for
consignment. The auction house has scheduled to auction it this afternoon!”
