Chapter 1453 Task for Stillwater

Chapter 1453 Task for Stillwater

As soon as Ning took away the woman's necklace, there was a visible change around her that everyone in the room could feel, including Ning.

All of a sudden, she appeared far less beautiful and charming than she initially was. There were zero changes to her overall appearance, and her face looked the same as before, and yet the overall attraction from her that everyone felt was suddenly gone.

Ning looked at the necklace in his hand and raised an eyebrow in surprise. It took him not even a second to realize it was the necklace that had given her the attraction that he had felt when he entered the room.

He couldn't help but wonder if this was how she managed to gain her followers as a pirate captain.

Stillwater felt naked without her necklace, feeling threatened all of a sudden. She couldn't tell just what she was to do without her necklace aiding her.

She wanted to get it back, but the fear she felt without her necklace was far too quaint compared to the fear she felt from the man who withstood the onslaught of the multiple gunshots without flinching.

She feared if she did anything, she would be killed right here without being able to fight back at all.

She took a large gulp and spoke a little. "P-please, give m-me back my treasures," she said. "I-I will give it to you to record. That is what you want, right?"

Ning clicked his tongue. "Too late. You threw away the opportunity the moment you decided to shoot me," Ning said.

Several people ran inside after the gunshot, looking around the room, confused. Most of them were men who were supposed to be guarding the other penthouses or just were in the hotel.

They walked in and saw the state of their captain. Surprise, they began pulling out their pistol just in case.

"Stop!" Stillwater spoke quickly. The men paused halfway through and didn't pull out their pistols entirely.

"That's your problem, not mine," Ning said. "You should have thought of that before you decided to become so violent around me and my friends."

The woman's face paled as she thought through the many other possibilities, and failed to see any way she could get her treasures back. Stealing from the others was simply an impossible task.

"If I am to bring back, I will need my treasures," she said. "At least give me the coin, please. I need it for my tasks."

Ning thought for a moment and shrugged. "You just need its effect," he said and tossed the coin toward Tim who caught it quickly.

He looked at Ning, wondering. "Flip it," Ning said.

Tim flipped the coin and watched it spin through the air, landing on the side with the woman's head. As it landed, the information about the coin floated into his mind.

"Bless her," Ning said.

Tim nodded and simply waved his hand around the woman, giving her a blessing that was part of the coin's skillset.

Stillwater watched the entire ordeal with narrow eyes, wondering what they were doing. When she heard Ning ask the young man to bless her, she doubted what was about to happen at all.

But when she did feel a familiar feeling of what she called being blessed as well, her eyes went wide in shock.

"He... how did he use my coin? It's bonded to me," she shouted.

"That's not something you should concerned about," Ning said. "Since you have been blessed, you will not need your treasures for what you are about to do. I suggest you leave immediately and find us the treasures before we leave in a few days."

"Go on, the clock is ticking."
