Chapter 114, Strange Necklace
As Holm parked the taxi in the garage, Daisy rushed out of the passenger seat like an arrow.

"I'm going to take a shower first. You can take it later and play with yourself for a while." Daisy's voice became more and more distant, obviously she couldn't wait to go to the bathroom.

Upon seeing this, Holm could only shake his head helplessly, closed the car door, and slowly walked towards the base.

He wasn't that particular, unlike Daisy who had to take a dip in the bathtub. He was going to go directly to the shower room next to the training room to wash away the dust.

Holm was thinking as he walked towards the training room, but suddenly he felt as if he stepped on something under his feet.

He took a step back and looked toward the ground, only to find a black lanyard necklace lying there, with a black stone pendant about the thickness of a little finger and about five or six centimeters in length in front of it.

"It's true that Daisy didn't even notice that her necklace was broken." Holm complained in a low voice while picking up the necklace from the ground.

He recognized this pendant. It was something Daisy had always worn around her neck. She had never seen her take it off before, and he didn't expect that it would fall to the ground today because the rope broke.

Holm used to think that the pendant in front should be a slender and delicate jadeite, because it looked very smooth and shiny.

As a result, after I touched it today, I realized that the hardness of this pendant is much higher than that of jade, so it is more like a special ore than jade.

If it were jade, it would have been broken in half when it hit the ground, but now it seems that there is nothing wrong with this stone, not even a scratch left, and it is still smooth and flawless.

"I'll give it to her later when she comes out from the shower. I don't know if she will find that her neck is empty."

While thinking about it, Holm held the pendant in his hand and rubbed it carefully. I have to say that this pendant feels really good, it is very relaxing to touch, and it is also cold.

I don't know if it was a psychological effect or something else, but Holm just felt relaxed and happy, as if the cold feeling from the pendant was released to his whole body through the palm of his hand.

It wasn't until Daisy came out to look for the necklace after taking a shower that Holm, who almost fell asleep in the rocking chair, woke up from his sleepiness.

After taking a shower, he sat on the rocking chair and rested while playing with the pendant, and fell asleep in a daze.

"It turns out you picked it up. I asked why it wasn't found along the way. I thought it was lost on the street and I almost went out to look for it." Daisy said with a sigh of relief as she took the necklace.

After finishing speaking, she looked at the knot that Shanghom had tied on the rope and sighed: "The knot you tied is so beautiful, there is no trace of breakage at all."

Holm also smiled when he heard this, and then reminded her: "If you have time, you should change it to a lanyard. Knotting it is only a temporary measure. If you don't change it, it may break again in the future."

Listening to Holm's suggestion, Daisy also nodded, and then said with a hint of memory: "I understand, but they have been on me since I can remember, and I am still a little reluctant to let them go."

"I thought about changing to a similar lanyard before, but after I went there, people said that my lanyard is special. There are unique characters on it. Someone must have left it on it intentionally."

"I thought maybe my mother or father had left it to me specially, so I never thought about changing it. But I didn't expect that it would break today."

Hearing Daisy's words, Holm also fell silent. From the previous conversation, he guessed that Daisy, like him, was an orphan who had never seen his family since he was a child.

Although he wondered how she could be related to Nick Fury and Philly Coulson since she was an orphan, he never asked out of politeness.

As a result, I didn't expect to hear Daisy herself talk about this matter today. Looking at the lanyard in her hand, Holm also thought about it, and finally came up with a method that he didn't know would work.

"I think we might go to Chinatown and ask if we have time. There should be many old people there who are familiar with knitting or needlework."

"Maybe they have a way to make it tougher again without having to replace the lanyard."

Hearing Holm's suggestion, Daisy also smiled. As soon as she put the pendant back around her neck, she responded: "Okay, we will go to Chinatown after this mission is over."

At this time at Stacey's house, Gwen was sitting on the bed in her pajamas, wiping her wet hair while looking at the two neatly folded coats on the table in a daze.

Both of these coats belonged to Holm. One was because the suit was damaged during the last lizard-man incident, and the other was soaked because he had just kicked in the fire hydrant.

It was clear that the clothes from last time had not been returned to others, but he got another one this time. If this continues, will Holm be without a coat one day?

Gwen was wiping her hair and thinking wildly.

After thinking about it, she probably felt that this idea was too ridiculous, so Gwen also patted her head, then put down the towel in her hand, stood up and put the two coats into a gift box.

She had been searching for a long time but couldn't find a suitable container. She only found a gift box that had been dismantled at some point. Although it felt a bit strange, the size was just right.

"If you give it to him like this, will he think it's a gift for him?"

"If that's the case, then he would be very disappointed when he opened the box and found out that it was his old clothes." Gwen thought as she looked at the old clothes in the gift box.

After thinking for a moment, she looked at the small doll hanging next to her bag on the table, and suddenly had a new idea.

Now that the gift box has been used, let’s really give him a new piece of clothing as a return gift for the little doll.

Thinking of this, Gwen also felt that her idea was very good, and a bright smile appeared on her face.

At this moment, she also heard the sound of her door opening.

When she walked to the living room, she saw George Stacey, covered in dust, looking at her awkwardly and at a loss.

"Well, today I met a difficult criminal who was related to sand dust, so it ended up like this." George Stacy explained with some embarrassment as he looked at the messed up floor he had made.

"It's okay, you go take a shower first, I'll clean it up later." Gwen said as she went to find a broom.

But after hearing her words and seeing her appearance, George Stacy was a little stunned.

He hasn't seen Gwen's smiling face much since what happened to Peter Parker, but just now he seemed to see a little smile on Gwen's face, and she seemed to be in a good mood.
