Chapter 5537
“It must be for this.
Mandy Zimmer pulled out a picture on her phone before handing it to Harvey York.
Harvey froze after seeing the picture.
“It’s just an ordinary Two-Eyed Bead, right?”
“No, this is the legendary Bright-Eyed Bead.”
“One of the Nine-Eyed Beads left by the founder of the Origin Sect?”
Harvey had already been very well-versed in antique appraisal, but he did not use it as a means to make money.
That said, it was clear to him that the bead’s quality of wax, porcelain, and craftsmanship was extraordinary.
It was not something that could be imitated by future generations either.
It was safe to say that only the Nine-Eyed Beads would have similar qualities to each other.
Harvey put his phone down before he started muttering to himself.
“According to the records, the founder was a practitioner of great merits.
“He was the one who made the legendary beads before he buried them.
“He knew there would be a downfall to his sect, and it would rise again if all nine beads were to be unearthed.”
Harvey frowned.
“Then again, this is just a legend.
“Who knows if it’s even real?
“The Two-Eyed Bead is precious, but you don’t even have it with you.
“Why would someone even make a plane disappear?”
“I didn’t think this was plausible either…” replied Mandy.
“But ever since the oldest generation of the Jean family found out the Two-Eyed Bead was appearing in the conference at the Aenar Temple in the outskirts of the city, they demanded the family’s branch heads to obtain it.
“Two of the heads had already gone missing because of this.
“I was the third, but luckily I bumped into you.”
Harvey frowned.
“The Jean family’s already missing two family heads just because of a bead?
“You haven’t even gotten to the outskirts yet for all this to happen…
“Wouldn’t the situation get worse if you do get there?
“Is it worth all this just for a single bead?”
“I don’t think so…” replied Mandy with a gloomy look.
“But then, I heard a lady practicing ancient martial arts say this…
“The founder said that everlasting life could be achieved if all nine beads are gathered.”
“Everlasting life?”
Harvey showed a strange gaze.
“So, there is something special about the bead…
“The waters here are too deep, Mandy.
“I don’t think you should be involved in this anymore.”
Mandy showed a gloomy expression after pausing for a long while.
“I’m sorry, but I have to.
“The people of the ancient martial arts gave the ninth branch a lot of power because of this.
“We even managed to gain footing in Wolsing in the shortest time possible.
“It’s only natural that as a head of a branch, I have to reciprocate.
“I’m grateful that you saved me…
“But the entire Jean family’s involved in the matter.
“You also have nothing to do with the family anymore…
“I really do hope that you don’t get mixed up in this.”
