Chapter 494 - 493: Octogram Path
After a simple fast food meal, Maurice Singleton drove Yusuf Zuck towards the dock, because at the dock, Maurice had prepared a yacht, and the dock was connected to both sea and land, enabling them to leave the area at the fastest speed in case anything went wrong.
Meanwhile, Yusuf, sitting in the back of the car, cautiously opened the box containing the Purple Pearl.
In fact, he no longer cared about how much money he had, so he truly desired to strengthen himself, and it was the power of a Purple Pearl that had triggered the opening of the third Blood Bead.
He had high hopes, but he also prepared for it to be in vain; he was ready for either outcome.
Once the exquisite little box was opened, the purple pearl shone resplendently, smooth and round, exceptionally beautiful. After all, being purple, it looked incredibly luxurious.
"Hoo," he gently pinched the Purple Pearl and then quickly held it in his palm.
Last time, as soon as he held it in his hand, the Purple Pearl was automatically absorbed by the Blood Beads in his mind, so he was also prepared for it to be absorbed this time!
However, after holding it for a good ten seconds, Yusuf’s brow furrowed, because there was no reaction at all: no response from the Blood Beads deep in his mind, nor from the Purple Pearl—not the slightest reaction.
Last time was different; when Yusuf saw the Purple Pearl before, the Blood Beads deep inside his mind became eager, almost as if they were itching to jump out, which was why they absorbed it immediately upon him holding it.
But this time, that eager sensation was completely absent.
