My Aloof Sisters Asked for My Forgiveness by Autumn Rain

Chapter 817

"What's wrong? Mr. Leach, do you recognize this item?" The guests crowded around.

"This... It's identical! But... it shouldn't be here!" Brandson Leach inspected the bead over and over. His expression shifted between shock and disbelief.

The members of the Yeager family were visibly unsettled.

Even Zack stepped forward.

"Mr. Leach, have you seen this before? Do you know its origin?" Zack asked.

“I just returned from Summerdale, where I attended a major auction a few days ago," Brandson said. "It was quite the event. Many powerful figures from top-tier families were present..."

Everyone perked up and hung on his every word.

"The centerpiece of the auction was a small bead. It was said to be over 2000 years old. It once belonged to an emperor known as the First Emperor!

"Legend has it that the emperor carried the bead with him throughout his life. He was never sick, possessed divine strength, and could slay enemies effortlessly. Even when mortally wounded, he miraculously survived, thanks to that very bead."

"That's outrageous!" the crowd exclaimed as if it was all a myth.

"The bead was the highlight of the auction. It sparked fierce competition among top-tier families and even led to verbal altercations right on the auction floor..."

The guests were stunned. How valuable must that bead be to cause such chaos? "The bead from that auction is identical to this one!" Brandson declared solemnly. The crowd's expressions changed dramatically.

The looks they shot toward the bead in Dustin's hand were no longer the same. Could it really be that bead?

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Kendall exclaimed in disbelief.

"I agree," Damien added.
