A New Treasure

Ning took the bangle and looked at it closely. He put it around his wrist, feeling the cold metal on his wrist. He couldn't help but be a little amused by it all.

"So, can I get my treasures in return for this?" she asked.

"1 treasure," Ning said. "A treasure for a treasure. Don't you agree?"

"Please, I need both to do what I do. Without one I cannot—"

"If you continue whining I will take back the offer," Ning said. "One."

The woman felt frustrated and gritted her teeth, but she nodded in the end. "One," she said.

Ning pulled out the necklace and the coin. "Choose which. I'll let you take what you want first," he said.

The woman fell into a dilemma. On one hand, there was the treasures that made her. And on the other hand, there was the treasure that had given her success.

She took a deep breath. She couldn't remain in hiding from her men for too long.

"I'll take the necklace," she said.
