Chapter 534
Grant’s anger flared. He had given her a way out, yet she dared to disregard his old
schoolmate. He was furious.
Dylan chided Grant, saying, “Don’t be so hard on children. Why argue with a child, old
friend?”
He then turned to Sydney with a smile and said, “Sydney, you can talk to your grandfather
first. I’ll go sit down and have a drink.”
Fred quickly made a welcoming gesture and said, “Mr. Murphy, please
come this way. Tea is ready!”
Dylan sat down by the coffee table, picked up the teacup, and took at sip before saying,
“This is a 20-year-old oolong tea!”
Fred praised, “I didn’t expect you to be able to discern the age of teal leaves. You’re quite
knowledgeable!
Dylan smiled warmly. “I don’t have many hobbies, but I do enjoy a
little tea.”
Fred quickly responded, “That’s fortunate. A few days ago, a supplier

our family, so if you don’t mind, take it with you and enjoy it at your
leisure.”
On the other hand, Grant had walked up to Sydney and demanded
blankly, “Spill. Do you need money again?”
Sydney shook her head. “I don’t need money this time. I… I want the Antarctic Lotus!” she
said, her face tense as she waited with bated
breath for her grandfather’s reaction
“What do you need it for?” Grant asked coldly.
Seeing that her grandfather did not blow a fuse, Sydney grabbed his hand, shook it, and
continued like a child asking for candy, “Is it okay? I need it for something!”
Grant replied coolly, “You should know how important the Antarctic Lotus is to me.” It was
the only keepsake left by his late wife, and he would look at it every night before going to
bed.
Sydney knew he would not give it away easily. Thus, she revealed the whole thing, but she
did not mention Nash’s intention to visit.
“Nash Calcraft?” Grant’s eyebrows furrowed when he heard that Nash wanted the
Antarctic Lotus. Recalling his connection with Brian, the man sneered and said, “That old
bastard Brian must have told him!”
Sydney looked at her grandfather with unwavering determination. Nash is like the sun in
Jonford. His favor is not something just anyone can easily obtain.”
Grant waved off further discussion from Sydney. “You don’t need to say more. I’ll never
give away the lotus.”
Anxious, Sydney implored her grandfather, “Grandfather, Nash is a
renowned Gold Amulet Master and a sworn brother of the warden of
the Northern Territory. You-”
“Quiet!” Grant’s eyes were red with anger. “The Antarctic Lotus is my bottom line. Even if
the warden himself were to come, I wouldn’t give it away!”
At her grandfather’s fury, Sydney was too frightened to speak any
further. She had considered stealing the lotus, but that would likely result in her being cast
out by her grandfather. She could end up like
Kai!

“Visit in person? Ha! Good, then I’ll wait for his personal visit!” Grant chuckled, his anger
receding. He and Nash had no personal grudges, yet Nash dared to openly covet his most
precious treasure. Did he think he would not get mad?
Worried, Sydney advised, “Grandfather, I think it’s best to avoid any conflict with Nash.”
Unbothered by her concerns, Grant walked over to the sofa while still bearing an air of
anger.
Seeing the anger on his old friend’s face, Dylan quickly asked, “Grant, what’s going on
with you?”
Grant recounted his granddaughter’s request in detail. Hearing this, Dylan chuckled
sarcastically. “Interesting. I’ve only just arrived today, and someone is already looking for
trouble.
“Sydney, don’t be afraid. Tell that Nash guy that Dylan Murphy of the
National Martial Bureau is here today. If he dares to come and steal
the lotus, he’ll have to deal with me!”
Dylan would not interfere easily if it were a personal matter, but with someone claiming
robbery in broad daylight, it was different. He
would see what Nash would do!
