Chapter 21 Fake
Lorenzo was not one who would get angry easily, but he was truly enraged that night. Earlier, Ms.
Lynch delivered a nonsensical critique of Mr. Emerentius‘ work. Now, Mr. Lund is saying that Harrison’s
painting is fake. They’re clearly looking for trouble! As patient as I am, I can’t tolerate the two of them
anymore. I want them gone now!
Emrys sneered, “You can argue with me all you want, but it doesn’t change the fact that it’s a fake. If
none of you can tell, it means all of you are terrible.”
“How dare you insult us, brat! Who do you think you are?”
“Don’t be so full of yourself, you b*stard!”
“Youngsters these days really lack education.”
“Enough!” exclaimed Lorenzo abruptly as he pointed at Emrys and Yelena. “Both of you, get out!”
“Fine by me. I’d rather not spend my time with a bunch of idiots. Let’s go, Lena.” Emrys grabbed
Yelena’s hand and was ready to leave.
Right then, Harrison shouted, “Stop right there!”
Emrys turned around and stared at Harrison coldly. “What’s the matter, son?”
Harrison gritted his teeth and barked, “If you don’t apologize for slandering my artwork, I’ll tear your
mouth apart!”
“You want an apology?” Without warning, Emrys approached Marco’s painting with a smirk and poured
hot coffee over it.
“What are you doing?” Rowan roared and dashed toward Emrys, intending to start a fight. However, a
few seconds later, he was stunned.
That was because Emrys had revealed a hidden layer under the artwork after rubbing his finger on the
soaked paper.
Upon seeing that, the crowd was surprised and immediately understood what was going on.
Emrys mocked, “The lower layer is the fake painting, while the upper layer makes it look old. If none of
you noticed such an obvious thing, can you say you’re not terrible?”
The crowd’s expression froze.
Although they were angry, they couldn’t offer any retort because he was right.
Yelena was similarly surprised. I thought Emrys was intentionally messing with them by calling it a fake.
It turns out he was right! It feels so good to see them getting dunked on.

Harrison snatched the artwork away and said in grief, “My three million!”
His heart was bleeding because he didn’t expect the three–million painting he wanted to show off to
everyone during the event to be a fake.
However, that wasn’t the worst part.
After the artwork was soaked in coffee, a small sentence appeared on its edge. It read: Whoever buys
this is an idiot!Thud!
Harrison was so overwhelmed by sorrow and anger that he collapsed and convulsed.
Rowan shouted in panic, “Dad! What’s wrong with you, Dad? Dr. Hubbard, please take a look at my
dad!”
A middle–aged man in a pair of round glasses approached him.
He was Patrick Hubbard, an art enthusiast and the head of the acupuncture départment at
Jadeborough Hospital.
Upon observing Harrison’s condition, Patrick frowned. “Your father was so agitated that he’s
experiencing a stroke. He’s in critical condition right now.”
“W–What do we do? There aren’t any hospitals nearby!” Rowan panicked.
After a brief contemplation, Patrick said, “My teacher taught me an acupuncture technique that may be
able to help him, but I’m not certain if it’ll work.”
“Please try it regardless, Dr. Hubbard. My dad’s life is in your hands.”
“I’ll do my best!” Patrick nodded before removing a few ten–centimeter–long needles from his portable
needle pack.
Emrys was slightly shocked as he watched Patrick insert the needles into Harrison’s b*dy.
However, he soon shook his head. “That’s not how you use the Needle of Ninth Revival.”
