Chapter 363: The Fountain of Youth (20)
After going through quite a few twists and turns, Grant successfully took over the orphaned heir’s body and inherited all the “assets” of the previous body.
He did not mistreat the family members of his former body because of this. After all, in terms of blood relations, they were the blood relatives of his original body.
Unfortunately, the orphaned heir’s body was still incompatible with Grant’s soul. Its side effects were more severe than ever, and it aged far more quickly than his second body had. Grant had been in it for less than five years when the new body could no longer be used.
Fortunately, by this time, Grant’s grandson, Eli—the son of his second body—had grown up.
The sixteen-year-old boy was tall and handsome, brimming with youthful energy. His entire body radiated the kind of health and vitality that could make anyone envious. He was practically the perfect candidate for a new vessel.
So Grant used the same trick again. He made a will first, then began plotting to take over Eli’s body.
Before long, the orphaned heir died in an accident, and the wealth accumulated by the Megan family once again fell into the hands of Eli, the sole male heir of the family’s main line.
Eli’s body was much easier for Grant to use than the previous one.
At first, Grant could not understand why this was the case. Then, one day, as he stood before a mirror, he caught a fleeting glimpse of himself and noticed a faint resemblance to himself in Eli’s features.
