Chapter 448


    Thssa lowered her gaze to the pendant hanging around her neck, murmuring, “This was a gift from


    Lysander. Leopold Sinir said it’s worth tens of millions.”


    When Lysander had presented her with the ne, he warned her never to remove it, threatening


    he’d teach her a lesson if she ever did. So she was forced to keep it on, never daring to remove it even


    when taking a shower.


    “What? Worth tens of millions?” Hertha’s eyes literally bulged out in shock; she stared at the ne


    as if it was made of pure gold.


    Hertha was filled with curiosity, looking like a small-town girl in a big city for the first time.


    “That’s so expensive! What kind of fine jewelry is it? Can I take a look?” Hertha asked, scooting closer


    to Thssa.


    “Sure, here you go, Thssa replied, reaching behind her neck to unsp the ne; her


    movements were awkward and clumsy due to her unfamiliarity with such jewelry.


    Unable to contain her curiosity any longer, Hertha moved in to help Thssa remove the ne.


    Once it was off, she held the ne up to the light, letting the pendant dangle as she admired it.


    Bathed in sunlight streaming through the window, the ne sparkled brilliantly. The diamonds


    encrusted around the cloud-shaped pendant emitted a dazzling, radiant light. It was both blinding and


    sparking, a symbol of wealth and prestige.


    “I can see how good the stuff is. It’s nothing like amon gadget. My eyes are almost blinded by its


    brilliance, Hertha eximed, entranced by the ne.


    Thssa chuckled, “Seriously? It feels just like any othermon ne to me.”


    “Have you ever worn amon ne?” Hertha asked her.


    Thssa shook her head.


    “That’s what I thought. You’ve been wearing high-end stuff from the get-go. You think all nes feel


    like this, but that’s not the case. A ne worth tens of millions is definitely different from an ordinary


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    one,” Hertha exined, sounding quite knowledgeable.


    Thssa asked, “How is it different?”


    “How is it different?” Hertha blinked; she didn’t know the answer to this, “I’ll take a look.”


    She held up the ne, examining it from all angles. Apart from its brilliance and superior texture,


    she couldn’t find anything else that stood out.


    “The materials are different. They are more luxurious. The diamonds encrusted around this pendant


    alone are worth a fortune,” she concluded.


    Thssa pretended not to notice Hertha’s bluffing and nodded in agreement, “Oh, I see.”


    “Huh!” Hertha suddenly sounded surprised as if she had discovered something new.


    “What’s wrong?” Thssa asked.


    “There’s a bluish hue in the center of this cloud. What kind of high-tech is this?” Hertha asked, staring


    at the pendant in awe.


    “You must be seeing things.” Thssa said.


    “No, I’m not. Come over here and look from my angle,” Hertha insisted, pulling Thssa closer and


    pointing at the pendant, “See, isn’t there a bluish hue where the sunlight passes through the center of


    the pendant?”


    Thssa looked closely at where Hertha was pointing. At first, she didn’t notice anything, but after a


    moment of careful observation, she too noticed the blue light. It wasn’t just the sunlight refracting off the


    diamonds, it seemed like the light was emanating from within the pendant itself.


    The pendant was both radiant and mysterious.


    Thssa’s expression turned serious, “This blue light doesn’t seem to be just the refraction of the


    sunlight on the diamonds. Maybe something inside the pendant is emitting light…”


    “Exactly, otherwise the light wouldn’t be so transparent…” Hertha agreed, continuing to scrutinize the


    pendant.
