Chapter 24

C24 – Birthday Banquet

Lachlan took the clear water and then shouted boldly, “This painting already has ink, how can it not have water?”

Lachlan took a big gulp of the clear water and sprayed it all over the painting.

“Is he crazy? Does he want to destroy the painting?”

“Hurry up and stop him. What if he doesn’t admit that he lost?”

“He is simply shameless. I think he will ask for a new painting and then compete again.”

Even Boyd Zimmer was a little angry. Boyd Zimmer could tolerate a person with poor painting skills, but he could not tolerate someone destroying any of his paintings. Every painting was painstakingly drawn by the author, so even if the author destroyed his own painting, it would still be unacceptable.

“Lachlan, please explain what happened just now.”

“Professor, this must be a misunderstanding!” Lucille saw that Professor Zimmer was angry and quickly explained.

Caden was also puzzled. He did not know what Lachlan was doing.

He saw that Lachlan was a man of his word, and that Lachlan was not the kind of person who would do such a thing.

If Lachlan destroyed the painting, not only would he lose the competition, but he would also lose his reputation.

He did not believe that Lachlan was that stupid!

Lachlan was completely immersed in the painting. He did not notice the changes in the surrounding people.

He quietly looked at the painting. He saw that the water and the ink had merged together, and the entire painting had undergone a tremendous change.

This painting was no longer a messy painting, but an animated scene.

First, it was a scene of black clouds looming over the city, corpses strewn across the land;

Then, it was a scene of millions of cavalry, no one alive;

Finally, many people were forced to separate from their wives and children.

This painting portrayed the cruelty, bloodiness, and desolation of war.

“What? What kind of painting method is this? I’ve never seen such a painting before.”

Caden exclaimed in surprise as he stared at the painting intently, trying to find out what was going on.

The painting changed again.

The soldiers and cavalry looked at their homeland with a melancholic expression. They were going to defend their homeland and protect their country.

The painting reached its end. The country had been destroyed, but the land of the country was still there. The triumphant flag was already planted in the enemy’s territory, but the flag was broken, and there were no more comrades around. Victory!

Everyone was stunned by the painting in front of them. They looked at the painting as if they were experiencing it themselves. Everyone had a different feeling. Some of them were crying, some of them felt sad, and some of them sighed.

No one had the slightest bit of mockery in their hearts.

This painting was a masterpiece, and Lachlan’s brush was also a divine brush!

“Lachlan, may I ask what is this painting called? What kind of painting method did you use?”

Cai Liang’s eyes lit up. He was deeply attracted by the painting. He believed that once this painting was made, it would overturn the entire world of traditional painting. Everyone would be amazed by this painting.

Compared to them, the Along the River During the Qingming Festival, Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival, and the Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains would become history.

Ever since he moved away from Kimberley’s rented apartment, he had been living in the hotel. However, this was not a long-term plan.

“Now that I have more than ten million yuan in my hands, I should be able to buy a house that belongs to me.”

Suddenly, Lachlan received an advertisement on his phone.

He curiously opened the advertisement: Good location in the Ellsworth University, Unrivaled Ocean View Room, starting price of thirty thousand yuan.

The more Lachlan looked at it, the more shocked he became. His heart was beating wildly.

Others might not know, but in his previous life, Lachlan had long heard about this villa district.

At first, this villa district was not well-liked because its location was too remote.

Not only was it far away from the city, but it was also sparsely populated. There were no amenities around it.

However, a year later, the government planned an extremely large commercial district next to the Sea View Villa.

At that time, hospitals, schools, supermarkets, subway, and other amenities were all available. The price of the villa area also skyrocketed by three times. In an instant, the villa area became the most expensive house in the entire Ellsworth City, and also the symbol of the status of the high officials.

According to the current price of the house, a good house in the Eaglelow Villa was only worth about ten million.

If Lachlan did not buy it now, it would be gone in the future.

Lachlan immediately made up his mind.

“After attending Alyssa’s birthday banquet tomorrow, I’ll go and buy a set.”

When Lachlan arrived at Alyssa’s birthday banquet, he realized that this was not a gathering that ordinary people would imagine. It was more like a grand ceremony.

There were a lot of luxury cars here, and everyone was dressed in formal attire.

Lachlan’s casual clothes did not fit in at all.

“Hello, sir. Please show me your invitation.”

The security guard at the door reached out his hand to stop Lachlan.

Lachlan was stunned. Alyssa had invited him verbally, but she didn’t give him an invitation letter.

However, he had Alyssa’s phone number, so he could ask her to pick him up.

At this moment, an unfriendly voice sounded.

“Lachlan? What are you doing here?”

Lachlan glanced at the person. He did not expect it to be him, the person who had not seen him for a few days, Julius.

Ever since Julius had called Lachlan “Dad,” he had been asking for leave and not going to school. He probably didn’t have the face to stay in school.

Lachlan ignored him and called Alyssa.

“I’m sorry, the number you have dialed is currently busy. Please try again later.”

The line was occupied!
