Murray shook his head, his eyes bloodshot. "Nope, still can't get him. He's out of range." Natalie reassured him, "Don't worry. With Valerie around, everything will be fine."

Emma and Murray had to pin all their hopes on Valeric.

About ten minutes passed before Valerie came out of the room, looking a bit pale.

With a trembling voice, Emma finally asked, "Ms. Kline, is my son alright now?" The room was thick with tension.

Valerie wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Mrs. Spencer, my reach is limited, but I can ensure Mr. Spencer's life is spared. Today was supposed to be his fateful day, but it's man-made and can be stopped from happening." Emma let out a relieved sigh. As long as his life could be saved, that was enough. She repeatedly expressed her gratitude, "Thank you! Thanks a million!"

"Don't mention it, Mrs. Spencer," Valerie said. Then she looked at Murray. "Mr. Spencer, I'm leaving tomorrow and I don't know how long I'll be gone.

"Judging by your appearance, you're headed for a serious threat in half a year, and it's going to be tough. I have a token here, and I personally carved the runes on it. Don't take it off, no matter what." Valerie handed the token to Murray.

Murray was grateful. "Thank you, Ms. Kline! How much do I owe you?"

Valerie smiled, "For the token and saving your dad's life, I'm just charging 1,200 dollars. You can transfer it to me."

Murray happily paid the money.

Emma looked at her inflexible grandson, a mix of irritation and mirth on her face. "Can't you bend a bit? Does life come cheap? Transfer 3 million dollars to Ms. Kline."

Valerie said, "No, no, no, I only take what's rightfully mine. I wasn't the one who saved your lives. It was Natalie. According to your family's fate, I'm sorry to say, in six months there's almost no hope of surviving." Emma and Murray originally wouldn't have believed such mystical talk.

But after uncovering a lot of evidence, they started to believe Valerie's words, as everything was logical.

Natalie was very grateful to Valerie for the favor Valerie had given her.

Soon, Murray's phone rang.
