Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1281

Luther finally said placidly after looking intently at the black box for quite some time.

"Of course, Fabian's perception is always right. He won't spend irrationally for anything which is not worth the price," Jason said impatiently.

"No! No! You don't understand!" Luther waved his finger and casually replied.

"How dare you comment that I don't understand! Do you understand? After all, I know that Fabian has great judgment and that the item would be worth the price for him." Infuriated by Luther's words, Jason started to sound a bit agitated.

"Of course I understand."

Stroking his chin, Luther commented further, "If I'm not mistaken, this necklace is made of black diamond."

"Black diamond?" Helen asked quizzically.

She wondered what black diamond was. I have only heard about diamonds. Black diamond? The name sounds really odd! Does it really exist?

"Ah! You're being boastful again! I remember that you were keen on an antique vase previously, and sweet-talked me into investing for you, saying that you'll surely count me in after gaining profit. The vase ended up being a counterfeit!" Jason unleashed his wrath at Luther, furious at how he was deceived by him earlier.

"That was just a mistake! I never had the intention to be deceitful. Don't tell me you've never made a mistake!" Luther rebutted.

That was the only time I accidentally made a wrong judgment. Do you need to keep mentioning it and embarrass me?

"Fine, why don't you continue to talk about this necklace? What's so unique about this black diamond?" Helen turned to ask Luther inquisitively.

"Aha, at least there's a wise one here!"

Pointing at Helen with a smile, Luther cleared his throat and turned to face the others again. "Everyone, let me introduce to you the mysterious black diamond! It is actually a lot more valuable than the common diamonds. Scientists have proven that it is actually formed by meteoroids that penetrated the atmosphere and landed on the surface of the earth as meteorites. As time elapsed, shattered pieces of meteorites which were buried deep under the surface of the earth gradually turned into black diamond."

Jason was speechless at his words. This fellow is really good at telling cock and bull stories.

He sounds like a knowledgeable expert in the field! He is but an ordinary doctor who pretends to be an astronomer. Meteoroids landed on the earth? Why didn't he just tell us the sun collides into the earth? What nonsense!

"Are you sure about that?" Helen glared at Luther doubtfully as she questioned him. I know that I'm not highly educated, but you'd better don't try to fool me! Meanwhile, Hannah remained silent and waited patiently for Luther's further explanation.

"Of course I'm sure about it. Do you know about the exhibition of the Black Orlov earlier on? I've spent some time on the relevant research." Luther said confidently.

The Black Orlov? What is that? On the instant, there was a puzzled look on Jason's face. What language is he speaking? I don't understand a word.

"Err... The Black... What did you say just now?" Helen also asked in puzzlement, obviously didn't get what Luther said as well.

"Argh! It's the Black Orlov! A most well-known type of black diamond across the globe! Do you get it now?"

Luther paused before he continued, "It's common for black diamond to have certain levels of defects. Hence, it's a great challenge to have them cut out. That's why black diamond is so rare. Moreover..." He stopped abruptly and deliberately lowered his voice as he continued to explain, "Legend has it that in Ancient India, people used to dedicate black diamonds to their god of Deaths, Yama!" Helen shuddered as Luther's tone sent a chill down her spine. Shaking her head, she tried to get rid of the sudden growing suspense by saying, "Are you intentionally making up a story to scare us?" Meanwhile, Jason searched online about the black diamond with his phone the moment he heard Luther mention the Black Orlov. To his surprise, what Luther had explained a while ago was exactly the same as the information posted online. I never expect that this fellow knows so much about this! I thought he is just fooling us!

Clearing his throat, he told Hannah, "Hannah, he seems to be telling the truth. I've searched online about the black diamond, and the information is really similar to what he told us just now. I've also made a comparison with the pictures of the black diamond online. Therefore, I can confirm that the necklace bid by Fabian for you is made of black diamond."

"I have told you just now, didn't I? I was telling the truth. After all, I'm still considered as the leader of the Fabled Four in Baykeep... Ah! I haven't finished my words! Don't cup my mouth..."

As Luther was talking non-stop excitedly, Jason clasped his big palm over his mouth tightly in frustration. This blabbermouth! Other than carrying out surgeries, he's good at nothing except bragging! What does he mean by the Fabled Four in Baykeep?

Helen was rendered speechless. Does he think he is a big-time boy band singer? What a narcissist! Pfft! The Fabled Four?
