The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 1255

Chapter 1255: Chapter 1255: Extra Story: The Missing Corpse

When Ashton Todd and Stella Gibson arrived, they saw a couple looking haggard, being entertained by the seventh cousin.

"That child watched those bloggers exploring Alao Mountain online and insisted on going into the forest for an adventure... We tried persuading him to just wander around the nearby woods, but something still went wrong, sob, sob..."

The woman started sobbing as she spoke, while the man beside her had slightly red eyes, though he was relatively composed. He looked at the seventh cousin and said,

"The friend who went with him called the police and was later rescued, but the rescue team, following his directions, couldn’t find the body...

We heard your ancestors have special skills to locate corpses, and we came today hoping you could help us find our child’s body. Even if he’s gone, at least he won’t be left all alone in the wilderness..."

Returning home is a cherished wish in the heart of every Cathay person.

It was this hope that led their ancestors to become specialized corpse chasers.

Even in this modern age of advanced technology, there is still a need for such special existences.

The seventh cousin, who is always in charge of external affairs, accepted without hesitation, as ordinary people who come to them usually have some ancestral connection with their family.

Seeing Ashton Todd and Stella Gibson approaching, he timely informed the couple,

"We have accepted your request, and these two will be responsible for finding the body for you." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Stella Gibson was used to being drafted into these tasks every time she returned home, especially now that Ashton Todd was here too.

However, the couple hesitated, seeing the obviously young Ashton Todd and Stella Gibson.

It wasn’t just traditional medicine that had this mindset; the Mystical Sect did too.

Despite young and capable masters like Scarlett Jennings making waves online, subconsciously, people still preferred to trust those who were older.

For instance, this person in front of them seemed more credible.

In his forties, in his prime, and with "skills."

The seventh cousin clearly understood their reservations and introduced,

"Although these two are young, their skills are definitely not inferior, especially Stella... she is the future heir of our clan leader, so you can rest assured with her handling the matter."

Hearing that the baby-faced young girl in front of them was actually the heir, the couple was noticeably surprised.

Not to mention them, Ashton Todd was also surprised.

Stella Gibson hadn’t told him this!

They agreed to make an impact at the Security Bureau together, yet she was secretly inheriting her family’s business behind his back?

In front of the couple, Ashton Todd didn’t pursue the matter further.

After confirming the task, the two soon set off with the couple.

The person whose body could not be found was named Declan Dixon, aged twenty-four, just graduated from university.

According to Mr. and Mrs. Dixon, he went on an adventure in a famous woodland in a neighboring province with four friends he met online.

The group ventured too deep and couldn’t find their way out, and thus went missing in the woods for eleven days.

Declan Dixon tragically died from an infection due to injuries on the seventh day.

Initially, his companions tried to carry his body out but were too hungry and exhausted for their health to allow it. They had to leave the body in a cave marked with signs, planning to retrieve it after finding help.

They later received help, but the rescuers could not locate the body based on their given positions.

Mr. and Mrs. Dixon waited in despair for several days, finally receiving the news that the search was abandoned, leaving them no choice but to think of the corpse retrieval skills of the Gibson Family.

The seventh cousin equipped Stella Gibson with corpse retrieval tools, despite his verbal assurance of trust, he still seemed worried about the young duo,

"Perhaps, we should call Greta back?"

Greta, being the Undying Bone, had always made the clan feel secure when around.

However, Stella Gibson knew that Greta was attending Olivia Xalvadora’s school anniversary as a guardian, which both Greta and Olivia were eagerly anticipating.

There was no way she’d call them back for a small task.

She immediately waved her hand,

"Don’t worry, having Ashton Todd with me is enough."
