Chapter 317 The Mysterious Millennium Pearl
After returning to Garden Villa with the millennium pearl, William had been studying it. "This millennium pearl is truly extraordinary. It emits a faint light even in broad daylight. I can also feel a trace of supernatural energy flowing inside. It's truly amazing!" William sat on the sofa in the hall, holding the millennium pearl in his hand, filled with curiosity.
"Can I have a look at this pearl?" Lillian was also curious about the crystal-clear millennium pearl and wanted to hold it to appreciate it. "Go ahead, but be careful not to drop it," William said as he handed the millennium pearl to Lillian, who received it and admired it with great curiosity. "Does this millennium pearl really date back ten thousand years? It doesn't look like it."
"This is no ordinary pearl," Beauvoir took the millennium pearl from Lillian's hand and carefully studied it for a while before saying, "There is flowing supernatural energy inside the pearl, like a living creature. That's why this pearl has acquired spirituality. It's likely been around for ten thousand years, otherwise it couldn't incubate such a spiritually endowed pearl."
"Really? I can't feel any flowing supernatural energy inside," Lillian still had doubts because she couldn't sense the flowing energy inside. "It's indeed true. I can also feel the flowing supernatural energy inside. Beauvoir is right. This millennium pearl has acquired spirituality," William stepped forward and nodded in agreement.
"I just wonder what the fortune teller wants it for." The others couldn't figure it out either. After all, their understanding of the millennium pearl was only at a basic level. At most, they could sense the airflow inside.
While the three of them were discussing the Night Pearl, Gerald entered, holding hands with a little girl named Eliza. Eliza's arms were full of toys and snacks, all bought by Gerald himself. Ever since Eliza was rescued from the basement, Gerald had been taking care of her, pampering her in every way. Whatever she wanted, he would buy for her. Gerald treated her as if she were his own daughter.
"Gerald, you came just in time. Can you take a look at this Night Pearl and see if there's anything special about it?" William thought that Gerald, being knowledgeable about many things, might be able to notice something, so he wanted him to take a look.
Gerald was unaware that the Night Pearl was a treasured family heirloom of the Bell family. He simply regarded it as an ordinary pearl and even studied it with a magnifying glass for a while, but still couldn't see anything peculiar about it.
"It seems like an ordinary pearl, although it's much heavier than regular ones," Gerald said, carefully weighing the Night Pearl. This act of weighing made him instantly sense the difference between this pearl and ordinary ones—it was significantly heavier.
"Just slightly heavier than a regular pearl? Didn't you feel any movement of air inside?" William frowned and asked.
"Movement of air? I didn't feel anything," Gerald shook his head.
William and Beauvoir exchanged a glance and immediately guessed the reason. It seemed that Gerald and Lillian lacked the necessary strength to sense the airflow within the Night Pearl.
"Big brother, can I see this sphere?" Eliza blinked her adorable big eyes and asked anxiously.
"Sure, hold on tight. It's a bit heavy," William, who also adored Eliza, handed the Night Pearl to her.
As he spoke, William couldn't help but touch Eliza's dark hair, his eyes filled with tenderness. This cute and beautiful little girl was truly beloved by everyone.
As soon as Eliza's hand touched the Night Pearl, the pearl suddenly emitted a brilliant light, illuminating the remnants of the sunset.
William, Beauvoir, and the others present were stunned by what they saw. "What's going on? How is it possible that the Night Pearl, in Eliza's hands, is emitting white light?" Everyone, including William, was bewildered.
"This sphere is glowing. It's so beautiful," Eliza found the glowing sphere quite intriguing and the white light it emitted was stunning.
"Let me take another look." William, unable to believe it, took the Night Pearl from Eliza's hand. Instantly, the glow ceased, and everything returned to normal.
"The light disappeared?" William put the Night Pearl back in Eliza's small hand, and immediately, the pearl emitted a dazzling white light again.
At this moment, everyone was astonished.
Everyone had come to a conclusion: the night pearl only emitted a white light when Eliza touched it, while it remained still for everyone else. "This is very strange," William frowned in contemplation, as did Beauvoir and Lillian. However, after a long time, they still couldn't figure out the reason.
"Could it be because Eliza is a child with a pure mind!?" Gerald suddenly had a thought. "It's possible. Let's quickly find another child to test it," William's eyes brightened as he suggested. Immediately, he took the night pearl and headed to the park in the Garden Villa, where there were many children playing.
Whenever William approached one of them, he would ask the child to touch the night pearl, but without exception, none of the seven or eight children they tested made the pearl emit light again. Just like in their hands, the night pearl showed no reaction. It could be concluded that “it seems that this night pearl only emits light when Eliza touches it.”
After returning to the villa, William stared at Eliza, his gaze unwavering. “Eliza, do you really not remember your parents' names?” William asked tentatively once again. “I really don't remember,” Eliza blinked her watery eyes and shook her head. Upon seeing this, everyone sighed. “It seems that we need to bring Eliza along next time we encounter that fortune-teller. I wonder if he can figure out who Eliza's parents are,” William thought to himself.
The next day, around noon, William was preparing to go to Angle Hotel to talk to Soren about joining the WE ARE Chamber when he saw the fortune-teller waiting for him at the gate of the Garden Villa as soon as he drove out.
"You finally showed up," William quickly parked his car on the side of the road and made a call to Antony, asking him to go to Angle Hotel and talk to Soren about joining the WE ARE Chamber, while he himself got out of the car and walked towards the fortune-teller.
At the same time, he called Beauvoir and asked him to bring Eliza. This time, he had to get something out of this fortune-teller. This night pearl was obviously extraordinary, and William couldn't just let it go.
