NOVPUBChapter 1127: 515 Prey_2 Chapter 1127: 515 Prey_2 Over the years, the inherited ink and water paintings have gathered the treasures of the World, but compared to the Green Water Pearl in my hands, they always lack a touch of mystery.
This makes the pearl in my hand even more rare and precious, but the owner surprisingly didn’t even glance at the pearl, instead indulging in admiring the calligraphy.
How odd and bewildering!
Shaking his head, he didn’t understand the owner’s world.
From now on, he must protect this pearl well.
He personally escorted the pearl to the safe deposit box, which has the most sophisticated security system of modern times, way more advanced than a central bank’s vault.
Even the top-level hackers couldn’t invade it.
...
The gravest danger was on this very route, so Alfred Spinter specifically called in a security team to personally escort him to the suburban vault.
Upon leaving the hotel, threads of rain began to fall from the sky.
The bodyguard held an umbrella over his head.
After Alfred Spinter got in the car, there were bodyguard cars in front and behind, escorting him on the road in the trembling rain threads.
After the convoy left, a blue sports car emerged from the dark, staying at a safe distance behind the convoy.
Inside the car, Kelly Martinez pressed a button, and the blue car body quietly changed to black, blending perfectly with the night.
Kelly Martinez held the steering wheel with both hands, gritting his teeth: “I must figure out who stole my pearl.”
First step, get the pearl back, then settle accounts with Violetta Gartia.
In the passenger seat, Aubree Groove glanced at her: “Could someone really steal something from you?
Did you perhaps give it away while you were drunk and simply don’t remember?”
“Impossible.” Kelly Martinez scoffed.
“Don’t you remember?
When you’re drunk, you wake up and you can’t remember anything.”
Kelly Martinez gritted her teeth: “That’s still deceit, that’s theft, and I swear enmity towards it.”
“Don’t rashly start an enmity, Professor Gartia’s decision to voluntarily give up the pearl seems weird.
Let’s watch and see how this unfolds.”
“No, I must get back what’s mine.
That’s our token of love.”
Aubree Groove sighed: “Perhaps you should think about, when was the last time you saw the pearl?”
“When?”
The memories in Kelly Martinez’s mind were a bit chaotic, with many fragments flashing through.
“Do you remember?
We ran into a group of tomb robbers on Dallas Mountain.
They were audacious enough to locate the ancient tomb of South Narnian royalty.
I thought it would be fun, so I followed them.
You were concerned about my safety, so you also followed.”
Aubree Groove looked out the window while raindrops hit the car window like tears, leaving long trails behind.
The days on Sodor Mountain in Avalon were long and boring, but now, they seemed to be the happiest times of her life.
The hardships and difficulties along the way cannot be described adequately in words.
Through swamps, poisonous forests, insect hills, showers of arrows, the two of them experienced numerous difficulties and came close to losing their lives.
The leader of the tomb raiders stole the Green Hills and Clear Waters from the burial chamber of the South Narnian Princess, he barely had time to be excited before he was shot into a honeycomb by traps within the tomb.
Right when the entire tomb was about to collapse and everyone would become buried there, at the very last moment, she found the weak point of the traps.
Escaping in a sorry state with severely injured Kelly Martinez.
The next moment, the entire mountain was flattened.
At the same time, Avalon experienced an earthquake, killing tens of thousands of people.
With the earth’s crust shifting, the South Narnian ancient burial was buried deep underneath, becoming an eternal legend.
“We shouldn’t have been there the year.
The tens of thousands of people, all so innocent.”
Kelly Martinez scoffed: “What do I have to with the earthquake?
Even if I were a god, I couldn’t stop such a natural disaster, I’m just a normal person, I can’t control earthquakes.”
Aubree Groove shook her head: “Every result arises from a cause.”
“Enough of your nonsense, I don’t believe in karma.
All I know, the one who stole from me, I’ll defiantly steal it back.”
Kelly Martinez shook her head: “After you left, I reminisced about our time together and then I went to a bar to drown my sorrows…”
“Then…” Kelly Martinez’s mind was chaotic, the more she thought about it, the more her head hurt.
“Careful…” Aubree suddenly spoke.
The light ahead turned red, but Kelly Martinez drove straight through it.
A van surfaced from the right and was about to hit Kelly Martinez’s vehicle.
In the nick of time, Kelly pressed on the gas pedal, and her car barely grazed past the van.
A second later would have resulted in a collision.
Kelly Martinez adjusted her breathing and quickly caught up with the convoy ahead.
She decided not to think about it anymore, just grab the pearl back first.
Kelly Martinez, out of patience, sped up and overtook Alfred Spinter’s car.
