However, Oscar quickly composed his expression and forced a smile, "Are you referring to the legendary artist, Zane Moreau?"Zane Moreau was a famous artist whose vibrant paintings have been showcased in prestigious galleries in Valoria country, even extending globally currently.His paintings had won several awards in international art contests and some of his artworks were proclaimed widely to have been sold for several millions.Although he was a hot topic in the art industry, Kian doesn't consider artists like him who only rose to fame in the past few years as legendary.He couldn't be compared to Jasper Caldwell whose artworks have been showcased in prominent museums in the world or Isla Monroe who has been holding a high record in the art industry for years.If Zane Moreau met these people, he still had to bow before them and call them masters. But Kian didn't voice out his thoughts and simply listened to their conversation."Yes, he is the one I am talking about," Savannah smil
Thomas Sinclair and Jonathan Gray exchanged a look. They didn't expect that little bastard would have also offended Maddox. Very good! This time, he won't be able to escape. "Maddox, we won't pry into private affairs but you should know he has some connections with Colonel Marcus who is a great commander in the Central Valoria region," Jonathan Gray explained somberly. "Yes," Thomas Sinclair nodded in affirmation. "He is also a spokesman of the billionaire tycoon that caused a wave in our city sometime ago. Besides, he is not so ordinary himself. He has some skills." Maddox stopped twirling the knife around suddenly, making the other Sinclair's family scared. They gasped as he looked up and smiled eerily. "Are you two trying to give me a warning?" Jonathan and Thomas exchanged a look again. This man was quirky and a bit scary. But they forced a smile on their faces to hide their feelings. "We are just trying to inform you that the brat might be a bit difficult to deal wit
That was exactly why Savannah thought of him first when she needed help. Why was he acting so obnoxiously then? Seeing his attitude, Savannah was disappointed. But because she was the desperate one here and the one in need of help, she suppressed her anger and forced a smile. "Master Zane, I'm still grateful that you honored my invitation indicating that you are willing to work with me." Zane remained unmoved by her sentimental words and blatantly asked her, "How much are you willing to pay?" Savannah was taken aback by his straightforwardness but she quickly regained her composure. "Our gallery has faced some setbacks and is currently in a difficult spot. We have to start from the scratch and really don't have a lot. But I hope you'll consider our previous relationship," she paused, watching his expression. Seeing the sneer on his face, she quickly explained, "Let's do this. Mr Zane, we will pay four million dollars for the artworks you are willing to let us feature in the
Suddenly slammed with those abusive words, Zane's face turned extremely ugly and he was quiet for a minute. But he had a thick skin because he quickly regained his composure and pointed at Kian. "Who are you referring to? Are you talking to me?" He was obviously stunned senseless. With his high prestige in Valoria Prime, a low-life like Kian dared to confront him. Even Savannah still had to lower herself before him. Who the heck is this riffraff?! "Get lost!" Kian didn't want to waste time with such a despicable person whose brain was obviously faulty as he doesn't think before speaking. Zane's outstretched finger clenched and he trembled angrily. He threw a cold gaze at Savannah and snickered, "If you don't want to work with me, just say! Why invite me here to be subjected to this kind of insult? Is this the kind of attitude your employees have? When I step out of this place today, I'll make sure no artist collaborates with your gallery!" Savannah panicked and shook her hea
Zane was just about to speak when he was suddenly caught off guard by the kick that sent him sprawling on the floor again. He writhed in pain and looked at his master, not understanding what was going on. Shouldn't Kian be the one receiving the beating instead? Master Caldwell sneered after seeing the clueless look on his face. This fool was bound to die of ignorance! As a matter of fact, Master Caldwell was well acquainted with the top echelons of Valoria country and naturally knew who Kian was. Besides, the latter once saved his life. He was fearful and grateful to this king of war so how could he watch his former student act so disrespectful to him? "From today henceforth," Master Caldwell gave Zane a cold glare that sent a bone chilling feeling down his spines. "Our relationship is severed. I am no longer your master." Zane's eyes widened and he struggled to hold his pain as he scrambled to his feet to plead. He knew the consequences of being disowned. It was unimaginable!
Savannah smiled and read through the contract agreement in her hands again, still in disbelief. Master Caldwell had really agreed to work with her gallery. He promised to provide as many artworks as she wanted and even told her a secret. He had other artworks which have never been revealed to the public. They were going to cause a buzz once they were displayed in the gallery during the exhibition. And all that was free. Savannah was giddy with joy as she held the document carefully, treating it like it was fragile. She was so lost in thoughts, she didn't notice when Kian returned to the office. He and Oscar had accompanied the old man out earlier. "Are you that happy?" Kian tapped her desk to grab her attention. She looked up at him and her smile widened. Dropping the document, she walked round the table to him, "I've never felt this happy for a long time." Before Kian knew what was happening, she hugged him and told him sincerely, "Thank you... It was all because of you."
Savannah found a decent diner that was a short distance from the gallery and drove there. Noticing how Kian looked around when they walked in, Savannah felt a bit embarrassed. "When I make more money, I'll treat you to an expensive dinner," She thought he was dissatisfied by the cheap interior design of the diner and hurriedly explained. She really couldn't afford much at the moment, but she made a mental note to treat not just him but the entire team to a celebratory dinner when the gallery finally starts making profits. "This is fine. I'm not complaining," Kian shook his head and smiled before leading the way. He wasn't unfamiliar with cheap diners like this, after all, he has had worse while on missions. The couple had no difficulty finding a table and went through the menu once they were seated. A waiter approached them to take their order and Savannah reached into her bag. After they had made their orders, she handed over her card to the waiter. Who knew someone fro
Kian walked into the empty classroom with a gloomy expression. He raised his phone and called the class teacher again. RING! The next second, the chiming sounds of a phone reverberated in the classroom. The teacher's phone had been tossed to one side of the classroom and as Kian walked towards it, he suddenly heard a muffled sound. He halted, unsure if he had been mistaken but when he disconnected the call and the phone turned silent, he could hear the muffled sound again. "Mmph!" It was coming from the teacher's desk and it sounded like someone was struggling. Kian walked towards the desk steadily but stopped in his tracks when he saw the person making the sound. "Mmph!" It was the class teacher. He was looking disheveled and all tied up. His mouth was also sealed which explained why he was making the muffled sound. His face had a large, dark bruise like he had been hit by something hard. Kian crouched and untied him in a swift movement. As soon as the young man was
