27 Chapter 27- Broken Bead (2/2)

He then glared at Joy. 'Why didn't you tell me, young master also came? And Furthermore, how can he know martial arts and a strong one at that.”

Joy ignored him, but she also thought it was strange because she knew that Jack was an only an ordinary child, so seeing him kick a person to fly was quite shocking.

She knew him since birth because Master and his wife saved her in the past, so she offered herself to become their subordinate to repay them. She also monitors Jack every day to know his habit, because after completing this mission she was preparing to request to be assigned as his bodyguard.

”I am hungry, so we eat first before we explore the cave.” Marie looks at them as she left with Jack.

After eating, Jack, Marie, Joy, and Carlo traveled to the nearby mountain. Looking at the tourist around this place, Jack wondered what was in this place.

Joy notice his gaze as she explained. ”The cave we are about to explore is near Puerto Princesa Underground River. It was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999 and voted as a New 7 Wonders of Nature in 2012. It also became a Ramsar Wetland Site in 2012.”

Joy continued. ”So many tourists came to explore that cave, it was also one of the listed places we are about to explore to search for treasure like herb and ancient thing. But after discovering that lake, we will likely get disappointed as many tourists and people already explored it, so the herb were likely destroyed and the things we want to acquire already belong to someone else.”

As they talk, the four of them already arrived, looking at the cave Marie and Jack felt nothing.

”When we came, we also thought this cave is only ordinary, but after the 1st team got inside our connection with them had been cut off.”

So we dispatch the 2nd team, but we also lost contact with them. The higher-ups decided to send Miss Marie because they thought that you will get a good result about this case.”

When they got deeper inside the cave, they felt nothing but silence. Looking at the dark cave, Marie, Joy, Jack, and Carlo were about to reach the end of the cave.

Marie search all around the cave but found nothing only rocks, so she looks at Joy and Carlo who also shook their head. Jack felt strange energy so he aimed his flashlight ahead and saw a small bead with the size of a ping pong ball.

Broken Bead- Unknown

Using identify, Jack shook his head as he thought that this bead was just a Broken Bead. So to make sure, he tried to scan it with his Psychic Force but after the Psychic Force touch it, the Broken Bead flew at the speed of light and entered Jack's forehead.

Jack wanted to block the bead, but its speed was beyond his level, Acedia was also helpless. After the Broken Bead entered his forehead, he felt his soul trembled as pain assaulted his consciousness. The pain made him want to shout, but after looking at Marie, he resisted the pain.

Using his Psychic Force to resist the bead, strange energy devoured his PF emptying his reserve when his PF was about to reach 0. The Broken Bead merge with him as blue diamond shape mark appeared on his forehead.

Jack couldn't hold the pain as he fainted, Marie, Joy, and Carlo face change as they hurriedly go to Jack's side.

After they confirm his safety, Marie brought Jack outside the cave and told the two to go back first. She brought Jack to their tent and lie him on a bed, she looks at his nephew before leaving the room with worry.

Lying in bed, Jack's Diamond Mark on his forehead glowed with blue light then it returns to normal without anyone realizing.
