Chapter 72 (1/2)

Claire rocked back and forth, not even raising her head, and asked indifferently,“Oh? What is it?” Summer, that little girl, had left with Ben in the early morning. They said they were going to stroll around and buy some tasty things and then come back. Now she had such an excited tone, perhaps she had bought something tasty?

“Look at this, haha.” Summer quickly rushed up to Claire and pulled out a pearl about the size of an egg and waved it in front of Claire.

Claire squinted, not caring. She said, “Isn’t this just a pearl? It’s just bigger than other pearls, that’s all.”

“What’s mysterious isn’t this!” As a thief, Summer had naturally seen many treasures, but now she pulled Claire up excitedly and then ran to her room, leaving Ben and Jean behind.

“What’s so mysterious?” Claire still held a teacup in her hand as she asked impatiently.

“Come, just come and you’ll know.” Summer hurriedly dragged Claire into the room, drew the curtains, and closed the door tightly. Now she pulled out the pearl.

Claire sipped some tea absentmindedly, looking at the pearl. The pearl slowly radiated light in the dim room.

Bright Moon Pearl1? Claire started to become a little shocked.

Summer looked at the pearl in her hand and said happily, “Awesome, right? The darker it is, the brighter it becomes. At night, it can be used as a light.”

“Where’d you get it?” Of course Claire didn’t believe that Summer would spend money to buy such an expensive thing.

Summer put the pearl away and swung her hips, saying cockily, “I grabbed it in passing.”

“Who was so unlucky?” Claire blurted out.

“The boss of the Red Light auction house.” Summer said, proud of herself.

“Pffft~~” Claire spit, spraying gorgeously.

“That fat guy actually carried around such a good thing.” Summer was still cocky. Summer looked at Claire’s doubting expression and said, “What? What’s so strange about this thing? It is a bit weird though, this is the first time I’ve seen a pearl that can glow in the dark. In the beginning I thought it was just an average pearl.” Summer said to herself.

Claire started to have a little cold sweat. “Summer, how can you steal like this? Do you know that two days later, the Red Light auction house is going to auction off three one of a kind treasures? One of them is a precious pearl that can radiate light in the night. It can be said that this time the auction is the focus of tens of thousands of people, the tickets hard to get even with a thousand gold.”

“Haha, then what about the other two?” Summer became interested, questioning closely.

“There’s still two others that…” Claire thought back.

What Claire and Summer didn’t know at this point in time was that this precious pearl would give them much danger and fortuitous encounters.

Claire and Summer discussed together for a very long time. Finally, Claire told Summer, “Remember, the pearl cannot be shown.”

“Of course, haha. I will safeguard it well.” Summer put away the pearl, and then became excited again as she said, “Can we go see the auction? You definitely have a way. Claire, bring me to see it.”

Claire looked at the eager looking Summer and started smiling. “Okay. I’ll find my Grandfather to get some tickets to go watch.”

“Yes, finding your Grandfather is ok. If you said you would find your disgraceful Father, then forget it, I would rather not go.” Summer said, her lip curled.

“I know.” Claire handed over the cup in her hand to Summer. “Master Emery said before to find him if I have any business. Grandfather made it clear he will satisfy my requests. Getting a few tickets should be easy to Grandfather.”

“Haha, that’s good.” Summer happily said.

“Think of a way to deal with the pearl, otherwise if other people recognize it, there’ll be trouble.” Claire thought deeply, stroking her chin.

“First find sir Cliff to get some of that dye, it’s very well made. No one else can recognize you after, and then we’ll put on a layer of that cheap, shiny powder.” Summer giggled. “I use that kind of method a lot. Everyone else all think it’s a cheap item.

“Good. In a moment, I’ll first let Jean go find my Grandfather and get some tickets, then find Master.” Speaking of this, Claire’s heart tightened. This was because ever since Cliff came back, he shut himself in the Magician Council and didn’t come out. Cliff wanted to advance into a Sorcerer as soon as possible. That was also for her…

“In a while, go find Jean, tell him and Ben to help you work, I’ll first go back to my room. Don’t come and bother me. I’m going to be meditating; recently I’ve been slacking off a lot.” Claire thought of how hard Cliff was working. She definitely couldn’t continue ignoring it. Last time, she had already broken through from the second level of the Treasured Lotus Style, so now she should look at the third level.
