2023-12-29 07:05:10As the laughter and various discussion was ongoing in the exhibition all by all who had gathered, , a mysterious figure dressed in pure white entered the venue.
The air shifted as the mysterious man began to stroll through the gallery, carefully examining each piece with an intensity that caught everyone's attention.Henry, still explaining his art, sighted what the man was doing and whispered to Emily, "Looks like we got ourselves an art police who just arrived out of the blue. We better brace ourselves."The mysterious man, with an air of authority, approached each piece, offering thoughtful critiques. His evaluations ranged from poetic praises to witty observations, adding a touch of sophistication to the evening.When he reached Vanessa and Robert's art, the couple put on their best charm offensive, ready to win over the mysterious art critic.Vanessa, with a coquettish smile, said, "Oh, we were hoping someone with a discerning eye would appreciate the beautiful essence of our work."Robert, attempting to match his wife's charisma, added, "Indeed! It's a bold exploration of the symbiotic relationship between color and chaos."The mysterious man, unimpressed, raised an eyebrow, "Bold, you say? More like a cacophony of confusion. The colors seem to be having a heated argument, and the chaos looks like it's about to break up with the canvas."The room fell silent, and Vanessa's smile faltered.Sensing an opportunity to redeem themselves, Robert hurriedly explained, "Well, you see, it's all about pushing boundaries. We wanted to challenge the conventional norms of art."The man, unyielding, retorted, "Challenging norms is one thing; assaulting the senses is another. Your piece screams, but not in the way you intended."A gasp rippled through the onlookers, and Henry couldn't resist muttering to Emily, "Looks like their art has been called useless by this man. Isn't that amazing?."Vanessa, stung by the criticism, tried to save her face, "Well, art is subjective. Not everyone can appreciate the subtlety of our expression."The mysterious man, now with a sarcastic grin, replied, "Subtlety? This is the artistic equivalent of shouting 'fire' in a library. It lacks finesse and finesse."Robert, attempting to sweet-talk the critic, said, "But surely, you can see the raw emotion and passion we've infused into this piece."The man leaned in, his gaze still looking at the art unimpressed, "Raw emotion, indeed. I'm afraid what you've captured here is the raw emotion of a toddler with a box of crayons."The room erupted in stifled laughter, and even the more serious art enthusiasts couldn't help but crack a smile.Vanessa, unable to bear the humiliation, lashed out, "You're just a pretentious critic who doesn't understand real art! Probably never created anything in your life.""Ah, my dear, creating art is like making love. Some do it well, and some just talk about it. Judging by your piece, it seems you're more of a talker," The mysterious man, with a glint in his eye, responded.The crowd burst into laughter, and even Emily couldn't help but giggle at the unexpected turn of events.Vanessa, now seething, fired back, "You're just a nobody with an opinion. No one cares about your critiques."The man, with a mock bow, retorted, "Ah, the beauty of anonymity – it allows me to speak the truth without worrying about hurting fragile egos. Unlike your art, my words leave a lasting impression."The guests erupted into laughter, and Henry, thoroughly entertained, whispered to Emily, "Looks like Vanessa just got a crash course in humility."As Vanessa fumed, the mysterious man gracefully went to another art, offering his honest critique in the art exhibition.After walking around the exhibition room, the mysterious man finally got to where Henry had displayed his art and he stopped for a moment."Who owns this? The man questioned.

“Josh, you’re finally back!” Robert approached him with a bright smile. “Sorry to keep you waiting, Dad.” Celestine smiled and gestured to the woman beside him. “Allow me to introduce you to Davina Harris, my fiancée.” — “Davina Harris?” Robert looked taken aback before asking tentatively. “Is she the third daughter of the Harris family?” “Yes, that’s right.” Celestine smiled. “Nice to meet you. Mr. Layren.” Davina nodded. “Yes, yes, nice to meet you, too. As expected of a daughter of the Harris family–you’re the very embodiment of beauty and grace!” Robert looked delighted.

Getting Rid Of Them
“Brown” was the pinnacle of power. Many people shared the same surname, but there was only one family that held that type of emblem. That family incurred fear from countless others, and no one dared to challenge them. “The Brown Emblem! W–who are you?” Peter gripped the badge with both hands, his body began to shake, and beads of sweat ran down his forehead. “You must be blind! This is Sir Damon Fletcher!” The large man hollered. “Damon Fletcher?” At the sound of the name, Peter immediately paled in fear. Not many knew of that name, but that man had a popular nickname–the Executioner! He had an infamous reputation for being the human butcher who sliced people like butter. There were three great generals in the Brown family–the Executioner, the Sword Whisperer, and the Drunken Maniac. Each one of them was enough to shake the country.

The crowd began to hurl insults at Henry. “It can’t be. Henry wouldn’t do that Emily shook her head, unable to accept that. “Why are you still defending him, Emily? Why do you still have feelings for that asshole? I’m telling you, Micheal’s the better man for you. He’s leagues above Henry! I’ll show you Henry’s true colors right now!” Mrs Miller yelled and began the playback, showing exactly what happened.

You better stop, or I’ll fucking shoot your Michael yelled.However, Henry continued his way forward as if he hadn’t heard the other man. “You’re dead meat!” Michael gritted his teeth and aimed the gun at Henry’s head before pulling the trigger. Ear–splitting bangs rang out as the chamber was emptied of bullets. However, Henry had disappeared. Abruptly, he appeared less than two feet away in front of Michael. “You-” Startled, Michael tried to jerk backward, but Henry grabbed his hair and slammed his head into the wall with bang. Michael immediately passed out, his head bleeding. “H–Henry Now that the danger had passed, Emily’s body finally relaxed, and she fell into slumber.

I'll Have My Fill
Henry hummed. He was about to say something else when his phone started ringing. Emily was calling him. Muffled noises could be heard as soon as he picked up. “Let me go. I want to go home.” Emily demanded weakly. “What do you mean ‘go home“? Look at how pretty Estelle Hotel is. Let’s keep drinking there.” Micheal cackled. “You can go alone. Piss off.” “Fucking slut! You better appreciate the chance I’m giving you. You don’t have a say in this. You’re drinking tonight. Get in!” As the phone fell to the floor, the cursing became softer until it completely faded away. Henry’s face darkened immediately, and the air around him became unbelievably cold. “What’s wrong, Mr. Brown?” Peter shivered. A loud slap rang out as Henry struck Peter across the face, causing the latter to fall to the floor. “You motherfucker! You better hope your son didn’t make a mistake, or I’ll destroy your entire family!” Henry opened the door and dashed out. “Huh?” Peter covered his cheek with a hand, d
Don't Be Rash
“Don’t be rash, Micheal!” Peter warned gravely. “He has the Philip family to support him, and now, he has Eric Morgan‘s support as well. We’ll sink further if you do anything to him!” Alas, those words failed to reach Micheal, who has lost repeatedly to Henry recently. Today’s incident only fueled his anger, and his hatred toward Henry peaked. “Micheal, leave this matter to me. You should take a break for the next two days. Just don’t get into any trouble.” Peter instructed his son seriously, who didn’t reply as he began to plot his revenge. Soon, night fell. Inside Midnight Rose, Emily downed shot after shot in a corner. Julia sat beside her, her face full of worry. This was the first time she saw Emily like this. Emily refused to return to the company or care about what was going on, completely abandoning her strong woman character and letting herself go. Julia heard that it was because of Henry, but was it worth it? “Please stop drinking, Ms. Miller. Let’s go back. Your
I Won't Beg
“The Philip family sure is bothersome. I have a feeling that our financial issues have something to do with them.” Peter pondered. “What do we do now, Dad? Should we fight to the death?” “No. We aren’t at the end of our rope yet. Let me make some calls. Peter pulled out his phone and began asking for help. The Clark family still had some friends and partners, so they’d definitely pull through as long as he managed to raise the funds. “Hey. Mr. Paul, it’s me. I’m kind of short on cash, so do you think you could help me out? I’ll pay you back with interest after the turnover.” “Hi, Mr. Andrew. This is Peter Clark. I’m calling to ask for a lavor.” “Hey, Mr. John. I need your help.” Peter made call after call to any of his friends who were well off. However, his face darkened with each call he made. As soon as they heard that he was trying to borrow money, these people who claimed to be his friends immediately changed their attitudes and came up with all sorts of excuses to refuse
He Got Lucky
“That much?” Micheal’s expression drooped. “Would Morgan agree to loan us three billion in one go?” “Morgan controls one–third of all the cash flow in flaz city. What’re three billion dollars to him?” Peter took a sip of tea and said casually, “Not to mention, I even came here personally. Would he dare to say no? He should be happy that our family is cozying up to him on our own accord instead.” “That’s true.” Hearing those words, Micheal let out a sigh of relief. The Clark family did have prestige out there; Morgan had to give them some respect. As the two were speaking, the door suddenly opened, and a few people entered. The one in the lead was none other than Eric. The moment they met. Peter stood up and extended a hand, his face full of smiles. “Hey, Mr. Morgan! Long time no see. You’ve gotten much more handsome!” However, when he saw Henry behind Eric, his smile froze on his face. “Punk, what are you doing here?!”“You’re here, so why can’t I be here too?” Henry retorte

So, to hear that he’d be able to rise up again, naturally, he was elated.“Mr. Morgan, if I dare to say it, it means I can do it.” As Henry spoke, he took out a tablet and said, “This is a pill, which I created. It helps clear up circulatory pathways and heal internal injuries. Give it a try.”“Okay!” Without another word, Eric took the pill and swallowed it.As soon as the tablet entered his system, it turned into a rush of warmth that spread through his body..Instantly, he felt his mood lift, and his body felt better in a way he couldn’t explain.The pain in his lower back had also improved significantly.“Amazing This is amazing!
