Edward gently held the back of the young girl’s head, pressing her firmly against his chest as he tenderly interrupted her self–blame.
“Mel, do you know why Spencer suddenly returned to Sommerville?
“The International Underground Boxing Tournament is being held in Sommerville this year, and he’s one of the competitors.”
Underground boxing was bloody and brutal, devoid of humanity and focused solely on winning or losing.
The fights were far more thrilling and dangerous than regular boxing matches.
As a result, the rich and the powerful flock to them, giving rise to a huge gambling syndicate centered around the outcome of these fights.
Its fun was no less than the World Cup’s attraction to men.
Underground boxing was a feast for both the investors and the fighters and their fans.
And where there was a party, there were prizes.
Every year, the organizers of the International Underground Boxing Tournament unveil a coveted “treasure” that attracts worldwide attention.
This “treasure” was priceless and utterly unique, perfectly suited to be the grand finale of the global competition.
This year, the underground boxing tournament was being held in Sommerville.
The prizes have not been made public yet, but a very small number of people at the top of the pyramid know the prizes in advance.
Melody tilted her head up from Edward’s embrace, her eyes narrowing slightly. “Are you saying that Spence came here for the global tournament’s prize?
“He’s not just an ordinary guy anymore. He’s throwing money around and has fame, wealth, and power- what more could he want?”
Melody followed her train of thought, her gaze becoming more intense.
Edward watched her in silence as she pondered, his gaze softening with affection as he took in the sight of her deep in thought.
“It’s Martin!
“This prize could be the key to waking Martin up!”
As Melody’s thoughts raced, she couldn’t help but clutch the hem of her shirt, a few beads of excited sweat forming on her forehead.
Edward gently tapped her forehead with a finger, approvingly saying, “My Mel is so smart.”

Chapter 312 You Have to Protect Me
“I’ve already looked into it. There are two prizes for this international tournament. One is the vole copy of the Veinspire Codex by the esteemed ancient medicine expert Liam Pritchard, and the other hasn’t en been announced internally.”
As soon as Melody heard this, her relaxed brow instantly furrowed.
For some reason, the mention of that name made her heart race.
Liam Pritchard was a highly respected figure in his lifetime and was also Arnold’s mentor. The medical knowledge and intricate acupuncture techniques that Arnold passed on to her were all compiled by the late Liam himself.
Liam Pritchard could be considered her ancestral mentor.
During his era, a time marked by turmoil and upheaval, he used his mastery of needle therapy to save countless lives.
His most exceptional technique was the Vein Circulation Therapy method, which allowed him to revive numerous patients who had been declared brain dead.
Among them was a scientist who had made significant contributions to technological advancement, who had been deemed a vegetable after his condition worsened.
He was awakened by Liam using the Blood Circulation Method.
This event created a significant sensation at the time and was documented in history.
But, even Liam could not withstand the passage of time.
Although he lived a long life, he passed away at the age of 112.
As one of his disciples, Arnold’s medical skills were so exceptional that he helped the Shields firmly establish their presence in Sommerville.
It showed just how extraordinary Liam’s medical expertise was.
Following his death, his medical books were divided among his various disciples, with Arnold inheriting the most intricate needle therapy techniques.
Unfortunately, the collection did not include the Veinspire Codex, the book written by Liam himself.
As a result, everyone assumed that the Vein Circulation Therapy technique had been lost to history, and Melody believed this to be true as well.
But now, hope was within reach!
If she could help Spencer secure the championship, perhaps …
Martin would wake up!
