As Faye’s mouth gaped wide open, she felt that everything was unreal. ‘Is he actually the Zayn I know?’When Zayn saw that the large hunks were all terrified of him, he began walking towards Moses.Moses’s face instantly became pale and a horrified expression was painted on his face as he staggered backward. “What…what’s happening?” he muttered in confusion, unable to understand why that was happening.He was well aware of the abilities King, who was a professional fighter, had. ‘In the end, in the face of Zayn, King was unable to even spar with him for a second? This is so unreal!‘If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would’ve even suspected that there was foul play! I would’ve suspected that King and Zayn were both putting on a show for me to watch.’However, with the truth dangling itself right in front of Moses’s face, how could he not believe it?When Zayn stood in front of him, he revealed a bright smile on his face. “Did you want me to get down on my knees and crawl bet
‘Right, if I work a little harder, that dream will definitely come true someday!’…Because Faye’s car had been hit last night, the front of the vehicle now had a huge dent in it and its headlamp was completely broken. Therefore, when Ruby woke up that morning, she went completely mental when she saw the state of the car. Then, she grabbed Faye as she scolded, “Zayn, you moron, how did you drive last night? You’ve wrecked the car completely. Are you deliberately going against our family?!”Zayn remarked, “It’s not that serious, is it? Besides, someone crashed into me, not the other way around.”Ruby immediately slapped the back of Zayn’s head and placed both her hands by her hips. Then, in a crazed state, she pointed at his nose and scowled very severely, “You’ve got quite some nerve. How dare you talk back to me?!” ‘She’s so aggressive this morning. Did she just consume some kind of explosive medicine?’Faye, who was by the side, could not listen to her any longer. “Mom, stop s
Actually, besides just Zayn, everyone at the scene was able to distinguish her as a woman. Furthermore, she did not have an Adam’s apple. Plus, her makeup was not done well enough to cover up her feminine charms.She looked exactly like how the characters in television dramas would cross-dress, but the audience would instantly be able to tell except for herself. Instead, she would think that she had done a very good job, leaving everyone speechless.However, Zayn was also able to tell that the cross-dressed woman was from a wealthy family. That was because she had two bodyguards amongst the crowd.Soon, he shifted his gaze from the woman and looked at the painting in her hands. The painting was about a meter long and about half a meter wide. Despite it being abstract art, anyone would be able to notice what kind of hidden meaning the painting had through its distinct colors and patterns. Just one glimpse at it and anyone could tell that it was a masterpiece.As everyone knew, there
Mr. Smith stood up straight and said, “I don’t care then. I’m the one who had my eyes on the painting first, and I hadn’t declared precisely that I’m not buying earlier.”The middle-aged man on the side was displeased as he said, “Boss, here’s 500 thousand dollars. Sell me the Picasso piece. Your original price was 460 thousand dollars, and now I’m making you a higher offer, so there’s no need for you to prioritize the first-come, first-serve basis anymore, is there?”The sound of people gasping in shock could be heard coming from the crowd at once. “Whoa! 500 thousand dollars is enough to buy a luxury villa. He’s filthy rich!”“This shows that this really is a genuine artwork of Picasso’s. He is a renowned painter after all. If he is so famous, it seems that 500 thousand dollars isn’t considered expensive.”“It’s not considered pricey, of course. Look at the painting. It’s impressive. Hanging it on display in one’s home will taint the home with its artistic value, and perhaps it c
”What kind of nonsense are you going on about, huh? You good-for-nothing brat!” scolded the owner of the antique store as he peered down at Zayn rudely. He was seething with rage.Mr. Smith had her brows furrowed as well as she glanced over at Zayn in equal puzzlement and indignation.As she came from a wealthy family, she was raised to possess a refined palate and impeccable taste. She occasionally dabbled in the world of paintings and murals as well. From what she had to go off of, the Picasso painting looked like the real thing, and she was sure that it had not been tampered with at all. On the other hand, the man in front of her was claiming that it was a fake. Was he really challenging her expertise? In a certain sense, he was also trying to humiliate her.Zayn kept a level head despite the many murderous gazes staring back at him. He casually circled the room, a relaxed smile playing on his lips. “I’m the one talking nonsense? You’re the ones who are asking me to pay 600 thous
“Thank you.”Zayn placed the painting flat on the table. He made note of the canvas material being very worn. It looked quite old. The linen canvas had yellowed with age, but the material was thick and rough. The oil paint was dried and hardened, giving it the effect of being painted from a past century.Judging from the material, there were no weak points.Moreover, the piece of artwork was painted with cubism in mind. A layman would have no way of telling the real from the fake.In fact, even an art lover would have a hard time recognizing it was forged. Anyone who could confirm it to be a counterfeit was certainly a connoisseur.It was such a waste that Zayn specialised in such a niche field. As a young boy, he was pressured by his father into pursuing cultured pastimes such as music, chess, and painting. It also helped that he was exceptionally gifted in the arts. Combined with his honed skills and dedicated training, an average expert was no match for a prodigy like himself.
Many of his accomplices in the crowd were severely taken aback as well.Resentment grew inside the tomboy as she tried to swallow the fact that someone had attempted to swindle her. They truly were a bunch of audacious con artists!600 thousand dollars would not leave a dent in her pockets at all, but it would be mortifyingly embarrassing if news of the incident were to circulate. She was just about to burst from humiliation just thinking about it. “You very well had the audacity to try and swindle me with your counterfeit! You must be tired of living—let me relocate you to a living h*ll!”She ordered her two bodyguards to contact the police so that the owner of the antique store could be detained and tried. Realizing this, the owner of the antique store fled hurriedly in the other direction. Though, he could not outrun the tomboy’s bodyguards, as he was quickly captured before he managed to gain distance.Meanwhile, the middle-aged man who had been his co-accomplice was starting t
Just as he was about to leave, someone called out from behind him. He turned around to find that it was the tomboy, Mr. Smith. Zayn stopped in his tracks. “Anything else?”The tomboy had very delicate features, and her complexion resembled the pure, driven snow. She was a very beautiful woman, and anyone could make that conclusion in just a glance, which was why she dressed the way that she did. Ironically enough, she was far more attractive than most of the young male artistes on the entertainment scene.As she walked over, Zayn noticed a faint scent radiating off of her body. Zayn was curious—was she unaware of how masculine she appeared in the mirror before leaving the house?“Thank you for your help earlier. If it wasn’t for your timely rescue, I would’ve gone home with a fake painting.” The tomboy thanked Zayn sincerely, expressing her heartfelt gratitude to him for his assistance.Zayn said, “Don’t mention it, it’s no trouble to me at all.”The tomboy continued sheepishly,
