Alex had seen it several times before, but looking at the words after almost a year gave
him a completely new feeling. It was as though these carved words emitted a faint,
pure, and orthodox energy.
Alex couldnât help but reach out with his Chi to have a feel of it. The very next moment,
he almost lost his grip on the necklace.
An extremely familiar echo emanated from the pearl, resonating with him.
âFatherâs aura!â
âThis is definitely Fatherâs aura. What in the world is going on?â
The stunned Alex fixed his gaze on the pearl, his focus entirely trained on the words. A
strand of mental power unconsciously shot into it, and in an instant, what he saw
completely transformed; the words broke apart and dispersed into countless blood-red
runic scriptures. He couldnât see it clearly, and he couldnât recognize it either.
But what he could be sure of was that these runic scriptures were formed with his
fatherâs blood.
He could feel it.
This discovery shocked Alex to the core.
âNo, no. There must be something, something that I donâ t know!
âMy father⦠Could this be the mystical object my father made?â
But in all the twenty years he knew his father, William had always been an ordinary
businessman. Where did he obtain the ability to make magical objects? But if it wasnât
one that his father made, then why was this pearl so unique, and why did it contain his
fatherâs aura?
If he guessed correctly, the words engraved were actually a high-grade
sigil. With this sigilâs existence, the necklace then became a mystical object with the
ability to seek out luck and avoid calamity.
Seeing how Alex had been holding onto the necklace without any reaction for a long
time, Joanne sneered. âWhat about it? There isnât any engraving, is there? Donât bother
looking anymore. The words wonât appear suddenly because the necklace originally
belongs to me. Even if there are words, it should only be âAssex.â Because itâs mine.â
Alex suppressed his stupor, then glanced at Joanne with an indifferent expression on
his face. âYou must be disappointed. There are words engraved on it. Take a look at it
yourself. Does it spell âAssexâ?â
Joanne looked closer, and the expression on her face changed completely.
âMy father first made this necklace, and this pearl is also the most valuable one in the
entire string. Itâs the finest golden pearl from the Southern California sea, worth several
million dollars.
Thereâs an engraving of my family name on it too. If you donât believe it,
everyone can come and have a lookâ
All who were present then had a look at it.
Claire was so excited that she snatched the pearl necklace out of Alexâs hand. âAlex, is
what you say true? This necklace is worth eight million?! Itâs not some cheap
eight-hundred-dollar necklace?â
She had always thought that it was a worthless trinket!
Alex was speechless. When he said it was worth eight million, he hadnât known yet that
it was also a mystical object.
Now that he knew, and since it was a mystical object of such high quality, its value
would have skyrocketed significantly. Even if he said it was worth eighty million, it would
still be too low for something like this. âItâs actual value is a lot higher, mother. You can
return it to me,â Alex said.
Claire clutched it tightly. âBah! You want to take back something that youâve given me?
Not a chance!â
Alex shook his head, turning to speak to Joanne, and said casually, âSo, what about it?
Are you convinced? Do you still intend to say that the necklace was given to you by
your husband, Joanne? Your husbandâs surname isnât âRockefellerâ though.â
Tony sneered coldly. âWhereâs the glassy emerald? I advise you to take it out now, and
donât make it any worse for yourselves.â
Anderson panicked. âThere really wasnât a glassy emerald! We really didnât take it!â
Tony waved his hand. âTake them away. Weâll carry out a stricter interrogation when we
reach the bureau.â
âWait!â
At that point, Benny rushed over.
