64 This thing is selling for ten million dollars?

"Thirty thousand dollars?"

Coleman and Powell both looked at William in unison.

Coleman was so amused by William's offer that he burst out laughing. "Young man, why don't you go play somewhere else?"

Powell also scoffed, "Kid, do you even know what this is? Thirty thousand dollars?"

"Radiant Empress Pearl," William said calmly. "It was once owned by Theodora, the Byzantine Empress. Theodora was a famous empress in history, known for her wisdom and influence."

William had seen this pearl before. Theodora had received it as a gift during a diplomatic mission. Due to its radiant beauty, she named it the "Radiant Empress Pearl" and often wore it. The pearl became synonymous with Theodora, and as her reputation spread across different countries, the pearl was eventually buried with her in her tomb upon her death.
