Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 199

Chapter 199

It turned out the Luminous Pearl was about to be presented. Stella unconsciously moved toward it, and Keegan followed her.

When all the lights from the cell phones were turned off, the lights overhead were also turned. off. There was only the soft glow from the infrared light of the surveillance cameras and the green light from the emergency exits. The surrounding was pitch black. Even if someone was standing nearby, one could not see their face clearly. It was total darkness.

“We appreciate your cooperation,” the host’s voice boomed again. “Next, we will have our staff pull the curtains, and we shall admire this rare treasure that had been uncovered after two thousand years together.”

As his speech ended, everyone saw the soft glow emitted from the stage. As the curtains were pulled down, the glow started to spread toward its surrounding. The soft purple light immediately covered the front stage when the curtains were pulled down completely. At the same time, the original source for this glow was a bead the size of a ping-pong ball covered in a glass dome.

Everyone erupted in gasps. It was not like everyone there had not seen Luminous Pearls before. However, they usually emitted light green or whiteish yellow lights. Most people saw those that cast light purple glows like this one for the first time. Those further away could not see clearly, so they pushed to squeeze forward.

Stella staggered from the squeezing, but the person beside her stretched out his hand to hold onto her waist. He brought her into his arms and used his body to shield her between the display set and themself.

‘Keegan acted like a man for once and knew to protect me. Could it be that the things I said earlier have caused him to feel some guilt?’ Stella thought.

The host on stage was introducing the Luminous Pearl’s origins. The surrounding people were squeezing to the front. Once in a while, a nail or handbag would touch Stella, and she would shrink further into his embrace.

Keegan’s body froze, and his body subconsciously moved away and kept a distance from her.
