Her footsteps were so light that in any ordinary household, she would never have drawn the attention of the hosts. But today, she was in a home inhabited by two immortals.
The glasses perched on the woman’s nose allowed for night vision, and she studied the paintings hanging along the corridor. As she looked, she secretly marveled to herself. These were top-tier treasures; any one of them auctioned on the market would be worth tens of millions! But no, they were too bulky. A single painting was only worth ten million, and she would need a dozen to cover her contract penalty. Such a large haul would make her too easy to expose!
She decisively abandoned the paintings and continued forward. At the entrance to a room, she spotted a pearl the size of a fist. Could a pearl that big actually be fake? She leaned in close, examining it carefully, and realized it wasn't an ordinary pearl. While it was as round as one, the material was clearly different. The woman remembered that such materials were not unknown in the market; at the last international black-market auction, a similar-looking natural material had appeared, and that tiny piece had fetched fifty million! Given the size of the one before her, it was likely worth two hundred million without a doubt.
