Jewelry holds an irresistible allure for women. Common people purchase jewelry from stores, while social elites opt for customization or acquire pieces from upscale exhibitions like this.

Behind these enchanting jewels lie extremely expensive prices. To reach the level of billions of euros, a piece must possess not only exquisite craftsmanship and superior materials, but also an extraordinary provenance.

For instance, the crown of a Medieval king, a necklace of a queen, jade pendants or jewels from an ancient Emperor—all imbued with heavy historical value.

The diamond set in the English Queen’s scepter is worth over three hundred million euros. Additionally, the largest diamond in the queen’s crown originates from the same source, with a similar value. Coupled with other diamonds, the queen is practically a walking treasure trove.

The wealthy turn up their noses at ordinary jewelry; naturally, they favor these rare pieces.

"Truly awe-inspiring, I can’t afford these jewels," Ou Mengmeng exclaimed, her eyes bright with admiration.

Even this privileged beauty is moved, which says much about their value. Lin Tian laughed and said, "If you really want to buy them, you can come up with the money, but surely someone will bid against you. Ultimately, the price is beyond reach unless your family, the Ou family, steps in."

"Lin Tian, you’re only saying that because you hold the finest jade. I asked my cousin last time if I could buy one at an insider price, and she actually refused," Ou Mengmeng said, quite disappointed.

"If I remember correctly, each shareholder in Royal Violet received a portion. If I’m not mistaken, Zhou Botong must have gifted his portion to you, right?" Lin Tian glanced at Zhou Botong, puzzled.

"A pair of couple’s accessories were made, but they’re too valuable. I’m so absent-minded that I can’t wear them; otherwise, I’d lose them one day," Ou Mengmeng said, quite troubled.

Lin Tian found it amusing. Given her personality, this Female Knight could indeed lose them, and her usual fiery style doesn’t quite match Royal Violet’s jade jewelry.

Xiao Manxuan gently touched her neck and lowered her head in slight embarrassment, as she wore a pendant matching Lin Tian’s and, in a sense, had a couple’s style.

"Ladies and gentlemen, may I have a few minutes of your time to say a few words?"

As they walked inside, a voice speaking English was heard ahead. Lin Tian looked over; it was the Old Earl and his entourage stopping, the Old Earl smiling at the surrounding social elites.

The moment the Old Earl spoke, everyone halted and ceased conversing. Those who recognized him exchanged glances, with many seemingly guessing what the Old Earl was about to announce.

Seeing that everyone’s attention was focused on him, the Old Earl continued, "You’re all probably wondering why the Eye of the Creator hasn’t been seen, although the jewelry exhibition has started."

The crowd exchanged looks again; clearly, they were right in guessing the Old Earl would mention the Eye of the Creator. Yet, they were indeed curious why it wasn’t in the exhibition hall.

Lin Tian was equally perplexed, wondering what trick the Old Earl had up his sleeve. He pondered something and scanned the room, spotting Xu Feibai in a corner, also waiting for news on the Eye of the Creator.

"Xu Feibai, to obtain the Eye of the Creator, it’ll be up to individual skills," Lin Tian thought to himself, turning back and glimpsing some familiar figures.

The Li brothers and Bitong were there; Bitong was deeply enthralled by the surrounding jewels, seemingly unaffected by Octagonal Entertainment’s impending bankruptcy. Her cunning isn’t ordinary.

Li Wenfeng seemed to sense Lin Tian’s gaze and looked over, his eyes flickering. Their gazes met briefly before parting.

"Little Ya, if it were King Arthur, would the Eye of the Creator work on him?" Lin Tian asked in his mind, suspecting Li Wenfeng was also after the Eye of the Creator.

"Uh, it should be somewhat effective. King Arthur’s Holy Knight divine light can purify the curse power. I know what you want to ask. King Arthur can do it; that Li Wenfeng certainly cannot. Curse power is incredibly tricky, and even King Arthur needs external help. If Li Wenfeng attempts it, his power will surely be tainted by the curse, with unpredictable consequences."

The Sword Spirit rarely spoke so seriously, indicating his former self as the Sword of the King also feared curse power.

"That explains things. Last time he lost the Sword of the King, now he likely plans to risk using the Eye of the Creator. Still, even if he obtains it, it’ll be no good for him. Even if I don’t act, Xu Feibai might try to seize it." Lin Tian coldly chuckled internally, indifferent to Li Wenfeng’s ambition.

What concerned Lin Tian more was Xu Feibai. If Xu Feibai obtained it first, Lin Tian could not take it back, so he must acquire the gem before Xu Feibai does.

His mind conversation with the Sword Spirit didn’t take long; meanwhile, the Old Earl continued, "Let’s set aside where the Eye of the Creator is located. I’m here to announce that I am donating the Eye of the Creator. Every one of you present has a chance to obtain it. That’s right, the opportunity is equal for all."

The news stirred up the social elites, despite their efforts to maintain decorum. Many began whispering to each other.

"I thought the Old Earl would only donate it to the organizers, yet everyone has a chance. It seems the old man is playing a big game," Zhou Botong whispered.

"Master, the Old Earl is intentional." A charming voice came, Lin Tian turned to find Charlotte approaching from behind.

Charlotte had changed her dress again today, no longer black but a dark purple, equally seductive and mysterious, raising the surrounding temperature as she appeared. Lin Tian could sense the heightened intensity of attention around her.

A woman like Charlotte, exceptional in both figure and looks, is the finest among the finest. Even social elites accustomed to beautiful women haven’t encountered someone like her.

Lin Tian ignored the surrounding men’s envy, jealousy, and disdain, calmly asking, "What news do you know?"

Charlotte nodded, speaking softly, "It’s said that the person chosen by the Eye of the Creator can have the curse transferred away. The Old Earl is doing this merely to completely shift the curse onto someone else. Of course, curse power is lethal to ordinary people, but for us, it’s a power that can be mastered."

"Given that, these ignorant individuals are in danger without realizing it. This can’t be blamed on the Old Earl; for the sake of his family, he had no choice but to sacrifice others. Any family would do the same since it concerns the whole family, though many refuse to acknowledge the secret of curses."

"I placed the Eye of the Creator in a specific location, and you all can search for it. Whoever finds it first gets the gem—it belongs to the fated one." The Old Earl finally revealed the method for donation.
