With that, Mason’s eyes shifted back to Janet’s painting. On the huge painting, a waterfall appeared right at the center, embellished with butterflies and flowers that came in different shapes and colors. It was a breathtaking painting that was admired and respected by many.
The assistant on stage enlarged the painting on the screen while the emcee explained, “Look closely. Every butterfly and flower has a distinct color which is never repeated. This shows how extraordinary Master Nato’s skill is.”
Listening to the emcee’s words, everyone glued their eyes on the painting in front of them as if they were bewitched. They couldn’t stop praising the painting and admiring it.
“It’s so beautiful!”
“It’s beyond words; I must get this painting!”
“Indeed. Everyone knows Master Nato has extraordinary skills.”
“The only thing is I can’t afford Master Nato’s painting. It’s too expensive!”
“Just enjoy the fun then.”
“You’re right. Let’s just take part in it.”
Hearing the discussion from the crowd, Mason’s face grew extremely grave. He sincerely wished he could hide this painting right away so that it wouldn’t be tainted by everyone’s eyes.
Listening to the discussion on the floor, the emcee knew that everyone loved this painting. Therefore, he increased the price. “The price for Master Nato’s painting starts from ten million and every bid must increase at least a million. The one who bids the highest will get the painting!”
As soon as the emcee said that, everyone raised their cards.
“11 million!”
“15 million!”
Listening to the bids from the crowd, Mason’s face became terrifyingly dark. His girl’s painting was only worth 15 million? Were they blind? They should get lost if they didn’t know its worth!
With a dark expression, Mason raised his card. “100 million!”
When the person in-charge heard that number, he was extremely excited. He made the right choice to display Master Nato’s painting. At last, after a heated bid, Master Nato’s painting was bought by Mason at 500 million. Sean looked at Mason speechlessly. If he liked that painting, he should have just asked Miss Jackson to paint it instead of buying it for 500 million. What a wealthy man!
Meanwhile in Sandfort City’s arena, the contestants had all arrived except Janet. Displeased, the contestants on the stage asked the emcee, “Mr. Ean, didn’t you say that there’s one more contestant? Why isn’t that person here yet?”
“So irresponsible. It’s almost starting but she hasn’t shown up yet. Is she not coming?”
“That contestant should just quit the race!”
“Damn it, what a mood destroyer. Has that contestant given up right before the race starts?”
On the stage, even Benjamin started to get impatient. “Who is that contestant who acts like a big shot? Even I have to wait for him?”
Hedd followed his lead and said haughtily too, “How dare they make me wait? I’ll definitely teach them a lesson today and make them beg me!”
As everyone shouted their displeasure, Janet suddenly appeared in everyone’s sight in a black mask while driving a Bentley. With a screech, everyone went silent. Right after that, the entire arena burst into an uproar.
“How hilarious. How dare a poor Bentley make me, the famous Young Master Campbell, wait?”
“With this kind of Bentley that is worth less than one million, she’s got quite a nerve to race with me!” Hedd instantly laughed hysterically.
Upon hearing that, Connor smiled contemptuously as well, waiting for that person to make a fool of themselves. In contrast, The Beasts who stood off stage seemed scornful. Even if Boss was driving a bicycle, she would be faster than them. How dare they look down upon their boss? When Boss took off her mask, all of them would have to kneel and greet her reverently.
Hearing the voices of the crowds, Janet glanced at the timer in the arena and pursed her lips. Weren’t there five more minutes until the race started? Why were they so impatient? Were they dying to embarrass themselves? Behind the black mask, the girl’s alluring eyes squinted. Then, she faintly smiled and said arrogantly, “Who told you that driving a lousy car can’t achieve great results?” As soon as Janet said that, the spectators and contestants around her burst into an uproar again.
“Oh my, who’s that contestant that’s talking so arrogantly?”
