บท 134: Korad's Silent Bet

***************

CHAPTER 134 

"This is it." There was disbelief in Mr. Brown's eyes. He was a bit sceptical just from having a single glance. However, with every second that ticked, he felt a strong pull towards the pearl. 

Immediately he could tell it was no ordinary pearl. Taking into consideration the size as well as its glow. 

While he got busy analyzing it in his mind, Korad had a different ball game at play. He could not believe the situation at hand. 'The pearl has lost a part of its lustre.' He thought within himself. 

His breathing became erratic but he tried his best to not let anything show from his expression. Taking a quick glance at Mr. Brown, he noticed how invested he was in what he stared at. 

'Thank goodness no one knows its original shine other than me. I can still fool them if I keep up appearances.' Korad finalized in his mind.
