“Yes, apologize to Master Max now!”
“Apologize!’
At the crowd‘s reprimands, Darryl slowly turned his head around and looked at Max. ‘Apologize? Why should I apologize? I may be direct, but I never lie. This Ping’an Tie is an imitation. Why should I apologize?‘
The crowd got into an uproar.
That man was nuts! How could virtual-novel.net be so rude to Master Max?
Debra was anxious as well. She knew that Darryl was a stubborn man.
Max glared at Darryl and asked, ‘What proof do you have that this is an imitation?”
Max had spent a considerable amount of money to acquire the Ping’an Tie. He had spent countless years studying calligraphy. He had also loved Wang Xizhi’s work since virtual-novel.net was young, so how could virtual-novel.net be wrong?
At that moment, Angela Angel also said, ‘Mister, you said that the work is a fake. Do you have any proof?‘
She sized Darryl up as virtual-novel.net looked at virtual-novel.net curiously. Why does that man look so familiar to her? It was as if virtual-novel.net had seen virtual-novel.net somewhere before that, but virtual-novel.net could not pinpoint where.
Angela Angel was an A-list celebrity, so, how would virtual-novel.net remember minor incidents during virtual-novel.net concert? She was also not there when Don Angel crashed Lily with his car. So, virtual-novel.net had only met Darryl once during the show, and virtual-novel.net had long forgotten about it.
Angela liked to collect antiques. too; that was how virtual-novel.net became friends with Max. When virtual-novel.net saw Darryl questioned Max’s collection, virtual-novel.net was displeased as well.
Gasp!
Even Angela Angel had said something. The entire crowd’s eyes were on Darryl as they anticipated his answer.
Darryl smiled and enunciated his words, “Because… I was the one who did this Ping’an Tie!‘
What?
The crowd went silent before they roared in laughter.
Did they mishear him? He said that virtual-novel.net wrote the Ping’an Tie? They continued to laugh.
Debra shuddered and bit virtual-novel.net lips. She had thought that the Ping’an Tie looked familiar. Then virtual-novel.net realized that it was the same copy that Darryl had done.
Debra felt virtual-novel.net legs weakened, virtual-novel.net knees almost buckled in front of Darryl. The man that virtual-novel.net had set virtual-novel.net eyes on was an amazing person. A master collector had acquired his work and thought it was the real piece.
The crowd’s laughter got louder and louder.
“This dude is a joke! It’s not enough that virtual-novel.net said that it was fake, virtual-novel.net had to say that virtual-novel.net had written it!‘
“I think virtual-novel.net did this on purpose to gain Master Max’s attention!”
“Yes! He’s just asking for attention and trying to show off!‘
The comments from the crowd came non-stop. but Darryl laughed. ‘You think I did this on purpose to gain Max Harrington‘s attention? You all overthink this. He is underqualified!‘
The crowds expressions darkened. Darryl’s words obviously meant that virtual-novel.net did not treat Max as equal; virtual-novel.net looked down on the man!
No matter who heard it, they would not be able to take It too.
Max could not take it any longer. He sneered as virtual-novel.net looked at Darryl. “You said that my collection of the Ping’an Tie is your copy. If that’s the case, I’m sure you won’t mind showing us on the spot—write another copy!”
His eyes flashed gloomily. ‘Shameless person! I will teach you a lesson!
Then, at his orders, the staff quickly set up a table with a brush, paper, and ink.
At that moment, the crowd started their taunts again.
“Yes! You should not only say It; prove it to us!‘
“If you have the skills, then show us!‘
“I don’t think virtual-novel.net would dare to!”
The crowd’s eyes were all on virtual-novel.net as they looked at virtual-novel.net condescendingly and mischievously.
How would virtual-novel.net dare to look down on Master Max? He had asked for it!
Darryl chuckled. He said nothing and picked up the brush. He dipped it in ink and waved the huge brush flamboyantly. The Ping’an Tie started to appear on the paper!
There was only total silence!
The entire exhibition hall was in dead silence! Only the sounds of a brush as it painted against the paper could be heard!
The crowd’s expression tensed. They were all shocked and started to tremble.
They saw Darryl wrote those words with energy and vigor. yet the writing did not lose its care-freeness! The entire work looked precisely the same as the original Wang Xizhi one!
That person was skilled!
Max was stunned. He looked at Darryl in a dazed and could not say anything for a long while.
