Chapter 1456 A New Treasure

Ning took the bangle and looked at it closely. He put it around his wrist, feeling the cold metal on his wrist. He couldn't help but be a little amused by it all.

"So, can I get my treasures in return for this?" she asked. Yôur favorite stories at novelhall.com

"1 treasure," Ning said. "A treasure for a treasure. Don't you agree?"

"Please, I need both to do what I do. Without one I cannot—"

"If you continue whining I will take back the offer," Ning said. "One."

The woman felt frustrated and gritted her teeth, but she nodded in the end. "One," she said.

Ning pulled out the necklace and the coin. "Choose which. I'll let you take what you want first," he said.

The woman fell into a dilemma. On one hand, there was the treasures that made her. And on the other hand, there was the treasure that had given her success.

She took a deep breath. She couldn't remain in hiding from her men for too long.

"I'll take the necklace," she said.

Ning raised an eyebrow. "I'm surprised you didn't take the one that gives you luck," he said as he handed back the treasure.

Stillwater took the necklace and put it around herself. As she wore it, she felt as though she had finally stopped being naked and felt a sense of comfort coming from the necklace.

As soon as she wore it, subtle mental charming spread throughout the room, immediately causing everyone to believe she was more attractive than she was.

Only Ning didn't feel this way. Since he knew what was supposed to happen with her wearing the treasure, he had already closed off any emotion he might have gotten out from the treasure being used.

"Is this it?" Ning asked, showing the bangle.

"You are free to go back and check those documents," Ning said. "I won't stop you. Hey! This is the pirate city of Rumgrave. Everything you do here is lawful, for the law here is the law of the strongest."

Jasmine heard Ning and wanted to go back to Stillwater to check through the documents, but she knew that she wasn't very good at reading just yet, and this was a foreign language on top of that.

She had to be grateful that they spoke something she could understand. Not that she knew why she could understand their language yet. This far away from the other side of the Great Reef, the language should have been completely different.

"Can you ask someone to bring us some coffee?" Ning asked the young girl. "Thank you."

"I'll do that right away," Elisa said and ran back through the door to bring Ning some coffee.

Ning arrived back in the room and watched Tony stretching a little as he exercised after waking up.

"Oh, you guys are back," Tony said. "That was quick. Why were you called?"

Ning tossed the golden bangle to Tony, who hurriedly caught it in midair. Tony looked at the bangle for a moment, not understanding what he was supposed to get from this. However, when he looked at the intricate design that was only visible at close range, he realized that this was not something that could be produced by any human.

That meant, that the bangle in his hand was a treasure.

"No way!" Tony shouted in surprise. "You got another treasure?" He looked around the treasure for half a minute before moving to hand it back to Ning. However, Ning stood there watching the outstretched hand, giving back the bangle, and did nothing.

"What's wrong? Take it," Tony said.

"No," Ning said. "It's for you."

Tony was slightly taken aback. "What am I supposed to do with this? I can't use it," she said. "You should give it to Tim if you want to. He's the only one who can—"

"This treasure's owner is dead," Ning said. "It is currently without its bond. Do you understand what that means?"

Tony stopped altogether, his eyes wide open in shock. "No..." he said, unbelieving. "Are you saying what I think you're saying?"

Ning chuckled. "I thought I spelled it out for you," he said. "That is your treasure. Wear it and see what it does."
