Chapter 217 Where Did This Jade Pendant Come From?


    Chapter 217 Where did this Jade Pendant Come from?


    "Do you need any help?" L asked with a smile as he approached Fox.


    Sierra Munoz, also known as Fox, hesitated for a moment and then turned to nce at L.


    She shook her head expressionlessly and said, "No thanks."


    A hint of annoyance flickered in her eyes at L''s poor attempt at flirting. She felt an


    inexplicable resistance towards him.


    "What''s your name? I heard you''re from Lucoork West? Which faction are you from?"

    L didn''t seem to care and continued to ask with a smug look on his face.


    "I have nothing to say," Sierra replied coldly, furrowing her eyebrows.


    At that moment, Simeon walked over with several members of the Dragon Sword Brigade. He


    approached L with a stern expression and asked sharply, "What are you doing here, Willis?"


    Damn it! Someone was actually trying to hit on Fox? This guy had no manners! The other members


    looked at L with disdainful eyes as if they were looking at a frivolous womanizer.


    "We''re allrades now. What''s wrong with exchanging some words? I heard this beautifuldy is


    also an outsider like me in the Dragon Sword Brigade. We have something inmon, don''t we?"


    L smiled and said confidently.


    "How shameless can you be?! Who do you think has anything inmon with you?"


    "I''m telling you, this isn''t society where hitting on every pretty girl is eptable! Fox is now one of


    us in the Dragon Sword Brigade so watch your step!" warned the other members of the brigade


    while pointing their fingers usingly at him.


    "L... just let it go..." Stephen stepped forward along with others trying to calm him down


    before things got out of hand. They never expected that he would reallye over here just for


    small talk.


    They were speechless...


    At this moment, Sierra furrowed her brows, nced at L, then turned around and walked


    away, swiftly heading towards the depths of the mountains. It seemed she didn''t want to stay here


    and be the focal point of the dispute among these men.


    L hesitated for a moment but quickly followed suit.


    Simeon and several Dragon Sword Brigade members looked astonished, and then their


    expressions turned somewhat annoyed.


    Stephen and the others were sweating profusely. Was L not only trying to strike up a


    conversation but also pursuing her in earnest?


    "Captain, should we follow them?"


    "I never thought Eduard would find such an immoral person as their outsider?"


    "Ughh.. his skin is so thick!"


    Several members sneered contemptuously.


    Simeon looked at L with disdain and annoyance, shaking his head. "No need, this kid won''t


    win her over. Fox won''t pay him any attention!"


    Since joining the Dragon Sword Brigade, there had been people in the team who had pursued her.


    Including Simeon, the captain, who was also an admirer of Fox.


    But no matter who it was, Fox never showed any interest or paid attention to them.


    So Simeon didn''t believe that L''s clumsy way of pursuing would win over Fox''s favor.


    Fox''s look of disgust just now said it all.


    If this guy didn''t know what was good for him, he might even be taught a lesson by Fox.


    Simeon knew that Fox was much stronger than him as a captain.


    ...


    Sierra ran far away and stopped in a valley after taking several deep breaths. She sat cross-legged


    and prepared to practice breathing exercises.


    The Priocia military had always had a tradition of recruiting experts from various martial arts families


    and sects. After confirming their loyalty, some joined the army as external aid while others became


    members of certain secret special organizations.


    Sierra entered the Dragon Sword Brigade in this way.


    She came from Kagyu School in Lucoork West which had its own unique way of practicing.


    Even when traveling with the army, she still practiced during her free time.


    Now in this mountainous area feeling the richness of spiritual energy between heaven and earth,


    she found a ce to meditate.


    At this moment, her hair hung down lightly exuding an unparalleled ethereal temperament.


    Her beautiful profile was exquisite enough to make one dizzy with admiration but then her eyebrows


    furrowed again next second as she coldly looked towards one direction.


    "Are you annoying me?" Sierra stood up and asked L coldly as he chased after her.


    She had regarded L as someone with improper intentions towards her, a frivolous person.


    However, this time, the man''s face was devoid of expression, the smile that apanied his earlier


    flirtation with her now absent. His starry eyes, instead, radiated an intimidating chill, firmly fixed on


    Sierra.


    L walked towards Sierra and, without saying a word, reached out and grabbed the cor of


    her clothing.


    Snap!


    A crisp sound rang out!


    Sierra pped L hard across his face!


    She covered her corbone with her hands ring angrily at L even revealing killing intent!


    "Asshole!"


    "You bastard, how dare youy a hand on me! You''re asking for death!"


    In the next second, her face changed and she angrily realized that the jade pendant around her


    neck was gone.


    The jade pendant was now in L''s hands.


    With Sierra''s strength, it was surprising that she didn''t notice it earlier and let this man get away with


    it so easily.


    L stared at the jade pendant with an uncertain expression on his face.


    The shape of the pendant was identical to his family''s Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant, only much


    smaller in size. The familiar gentle face appeared in L''s mind. It was the most beautiful face


    he had ever seen.


    "Tell me! Where did you get this jade pendant?"


    L finally took his gaze off of the pendant and looked at Sierra with a murderous glint in his


    eyes.


    Sierra hesitated for a moment. She didn''t expect this man who had just been flirting with her to


    suddenly turn hostile towards her over a piece of jewelry. Was he not interested in her after all? Was


    his target really just the jade pendant?


    "I have nothing to say." Sierra said coldly with anger and resentment evident in her voice.


    "Speak up or I''ll kill you!"


    "I will really kill you!"


    L held onto the warm jade as if he could still feel its heat. But now it no longer belonged to his


    mother but instead belonged to this strange woman before him which filled him with an inexplicable


    rage.


    This jade pendant was the token of love that L''s father had given to his mother. His mother


    cherished it as if it were her life.


    From childhood to adulthood, L remembered her always wearing it close to her heart, never


    parting with it. Why? Why did his mother''s pendant end up in someone else''s possession? Where


    was his mother?


    A sense of panic overwhelmed L as he felt himself being consumed by anger and hatred


    towards Sierra.
