Ch. 196..200: Stay Around You Now And Forever (Hunter Jackson) Chapter 196-200

Chapter 196 In Order to Prove that I’m a Man

Henry glared at her and snorted, "I won't eat it!"

Emily raised her eyebrows while showing a disdainful expression, "Do you call yourself a man?"

"Even if I'm a man, I still won't eat it."

"If you don't eat it, you are not a man."

"You... uh!"

This piece of meat was abruptly stuffed into his mouth!

Henry widened his eyes as he had an impulse to pluck off this rascal's head here and now.

But, this piece of meat...

He chewed on it lightly at first, and then he proceeded to gobble up the whole thing before swallowing it.

It was really not that spicy after all.

"Is it good?" Emily said with raised eyebrows, her smile was exuding confidence.

This meat that she had cooked was neither overcooked nor undercooked; the sauce that she had whipped up was exquisite in taste too. She believed her skills were enough to satisfy this man's appetite.

Henry remained silent. Although this meat was unexpectedly delicious, he wouldn't admit it no matter what.

Emily picked up another piece of meat and placed it into his bowl while reminding him, "Eat it fast, or else it will taste cold and overcooked soon."

It would become overcooked after it became cold? It was the first time he had heard of this reasoning.

Despite that, that piece of meat he had tasted was smooth and tender. It was cooked with the correct level of flame so it didn't taste bad at all.

He hadn't had his lunch at noon, so he was indeed famished now.

He picked up the chopsticks to send a piece of beef into his mouth.

"This is tasty, am I right? This cow louver is equally delicious too, give it a try... what do you say?"

"It's alright." He didn't expect that something that looked so ugly was really edible.

He used his chopsticks to fumble with the contents on a plate as he frowned, "What's this?"

"This is mashed shrimp wah, do you want to try it?" Without waiting for him to give any response, Emily scooped up a portion of the mashed shrimp wah and sent it into the pot.

"What about this? What is this?" It seemed like these food were all not so bad.

"These are meatballs, are you telling me you never tried this before? You're so outdated!"

"These are usually eaten by poor people anyway, what's wrong with never trying them?"

"You are always right since you're born with a silver spoon in your mouth. You're great because of your wealth."

Henry decided to ignore her as he pointed at another plate with his chopsticks, "What is this?"

"You're acting like a curious baby now who doesn't know anything at all. It makes you look so stupid."

"Emily!"

"This is sea lettuce, it's very tasty too. I'll cook it for you, calm your anger now." "Humph!"

The both of them were instantly lost in waves of explosions of taste while enjoying their steamboat.

This was the charisma of steamboat which could temporarily make someone forget about his or her whereabouts and identity. That person would also be oblivious to his or her surroundings too.

Two other people who sat at the other end of the table just silently watched Emily and Henry who were being too close for comfort. They were having very different thoughts at this moment.

Wendy was ecstatic when she saw this scene. Emily was courting death by being so intimate with another guy in front of none other than Young Master Hunter.

Despite that, she couldn't see through what Hunter was thinking at the moment.

He was looking like his usual self. No, it was more accurate to say that there was not even a hint of expression on his face.

He was just grabbing a pair of chopsticks without using them. He didn't look angry but at the same time perhaps a storm of rage was brewing underneath his skin!

Wendy was very careful when she sucked up to him, afraid that he would suddenly get angry.

"Hunter, shall I ask the chef to make you..."

"There's no other dishes here." Emily smiled forcefully while saying this.

She looked at the two of them and said faintly, "If you don't want to eat all of this, why not you..."

Hunter suddenly struck his chopsticks into the pot and grasped a piece of meat. He instantly sent it into his mouth.

"It is too hot!" Emily wanted to stop him but it was too late.

Hunter frowned imperceptibly but he managed to swallow the meat fully in a moment.

Emily called for the waiter to bring some chilled herb juice for him.

Hunter's tongue was probably burned at the moment, but seeing that he was Hunter, he would never say anything about this.

"You should take a sip of this juice, it'll make you feel better." She uncapped a herb juice and placed it in front of Hunter.

"I'm fine." Hunter's gaze fell upon the bottle of herb juice.

Although he was putting on a strong facade, he still grabbed the bottle and started

to drink from it. In one go, he was able to finish half of the bottle.

"These fresh beefs are not bad, do you want to try them?"

Emily filled half of the plate with some beef before pouring the mashed shrimp wah into the other half.

"Sister, you should try it too." She stood up to prepare some food for them.

It was as if the altercation between her and Wendy in the morning had never happened in the first place. There was no trace of any discord between them at the moment.

It looked like the two sisters always got along with each other at first glance.

Hunter's eyes were shrouded in darkness. Although it felt like there was something wrong about the way Emily was talking to Wendy, he was not someone who liked to meddle in women's affairs.

Seeing that Emily and Henry were enjoying their feast, he gripped the chopsticks and started to eat the food too.

Wendy felt a wave of nausea when she laid eyes on the contents in her bowl.

She always saw herself as a noble and majestic person, so she wouldn't be able to swallow such low-class food.

Although this was her thought, Young Master Hunter didn't refrain from eating those food...

Wendy found herself with no alternative, so she reluctantly grabbed her chopsticks and started to munch on those food.

Unexpectedly, just as she had finished the food in her bowl, Emily was seen sending more food her way.

"This seaweed is very good too, and it doesn't taste as good if you're not eating it steamboat-style. I bet you won't have the chance to eat this normally too."

Emily was flashing a brilliant smile at her. It looked like she was being overly friendly towards Wendy.

Wendy furrowed her eyebrows as she was surprised at how good Emily was at putting on an act.

Wasn't she always hard-headed all along? It seemed like she had learnt how to put on a facade at times like this.

Where was her previous stubborn self now? As expected, in order to flatter Young Master Hunter and Wendy's latest crush, this bitch had somehow learnt how to be hypocritical.

"That's enough, Emily. I don't have a huge appetite, so I can't eat a lot."

Wendy was nauseated at the sight of the ugly-looking seaweed in front of her. She had always been eating elegant and extraordinary food. What the hell was this thing?

"You don't have to be so polite, sister. We're family, right? You shouldn't just mind your appearances, it's more important to fill your stomach properly."

Emily showed a subdued smile while grasping a fish fillet with her chopsticks and sent it to her.

"Do you think your hunger will be satisfied just by eating so little now? I think even a cat will find itself hard to be satisfied with such little food."

"Instead of devouring food when there's no one nearby, I think you should just eat until your stomach burst here."

At this moment, Wendy really wanted to pick up the bowl in front of her and splatter the contents mercilessly at Emily.

This bitch was actually referring her as someone hypocritical! She was actually maintaining her upbringing well! This was how an educated person should act

like!

So what was wrong if she wanted to eat something without being seen by others?

It was not a decent sight for a woman to eat food so openly. How could she let herself loose gobbling up food in front of men?

Only a despicable and barbaric bitch like Emily would abandon her image in this situation.

Wendy really wanted to go on a rage, but she remembered that she was a socialite, a lady and also a daughter from a wealthy family. She would be the most

majestic lady in the whole of Bentson City in the future.

She couldn't lose her composure and go on a rage here!noveldrama

Emily actually was using Wendy's "principle" in front of men against her. She was acting overly passionate in sending lots of food her way because she knew Wendy couldn't do anything in this situation.

As for the men around them, in order to show that they were real men, they didn't faze one bit while eating spicy food.

After an indefinite amount of time, Emily produced her mobile phone to check the time. She then displayed a smile at Henry.

"Time's up, it's time for me to say goodbye."

After putting down her chopsticks, she used a napkin to wipe her mouth and then flashed a smile at Hunter and Wendy. Then, she was... gone just like that.

What was she talking about? Why was she in such a hurry?

There was still one hour left until the commencement of the competition in the afternoon. Why was she acting so anxious?

Among them, probably only Henry was aware of the real meaning behind this woman's words. The two hour period had just ended a moment ago.

It seemed like this woman didn't even want to waste another second being by his

side!

 

Chapter 197 This Bitch Really Had Ill Intentions

When Emily had returned, Aryan was still resting in the classroom.

Sally had somehow gotten her hand on a bottle of ointment, and she was massaging his fingers gently.

"Are you nervous?" Emily asked as she sniffed the special aroma emanated from the ointment. She felt refreshed at the smell.

"A little." Aryan answered truthfully.

He was not afraid of failing to complete the drawing. He was just afraid that he couldn't do his best and draw as much as he could for Rufus.

If he wasn't able to sketch a lot of strokes on the drawing pad, it was highly probable that Rufus' part would remain incomplete.

"You don't have to be so worried. You will be fine." Emily patted his shoulders.

Sally had the sniffing ability akin to a dog's! She yelped, "Emily, you've just had some steamboat!"

"Yes."

"You're so mean! Why didn't you invite us to go with you?" It was not easy to become fat if one were to always eat alone. No wonder she could maintain her slim figure!

"I'll bring you guys next time." She was already full at the moment, "We will take it as a celebration tomorrow night for entering the grand finale."

"How can you be so sure about that?"

"We will be able to do it!"

Lois came in and looked at Aryan, "It's time for the team to register."

"Let's go, we will go together."

...When they were entering the arena this time, everybody finally understood what a capable and mature manga drawing team should look like.

The other teams had assistants who were fully suited up with their uniforms. They had at least ten people in a team, as they gathered together to discuss about their strategy.

On the other hand, they only had a few participants, which looked pitiful in contrast.

"It's Nina's team." Lois stared at the entrance of the arena and suddenly said. Everybody looked in the direction of his stare.

Nina's team appeared to be the most complete among all the students' teams.

Besides Nina, her teammates were all wearing uniforms that were very eye- catching compared to regular ones. The design was artistic and the colour was vivid as if they were straight out of a manga. They looked outstanding but their appearances weren't too exaggerated.

"Based on the design of their uniform, it must have cost a lot."

Lois suddenly was full of emotion, "It must feel good to be wealthy."

"Her team must have earned a lot too. If you want to be like them, you should

make the team better and produce results. You can do it too."

Emily left her behind and proceeded to register their team with Aryan.

Every team needed to register their participation and then the participants could enter the arena to prepare for the competition.

This time, the September Drawing Club was thoroughly being laughed at by others. Lois couldn't help feeling that she had brought shame to her team. It was obvious if she compared her team to others...

She couldn't be blamed completely for not being able to recruit some people to join them!

What was the difference between them and others? It was obvious at first glance! There were at least five members in other's team while Nina had three members in her team.

Compared to them, they had only Aryan to make up for it.

He was all by himself, and he looked even lonelier than Emily when she had gone onto the stage in the morning all alone.

Aryan sat down in his designated seat and looked towards the outer part of the

arena.

Emily was waving her fist while mouthing the words, "Do your best!"

Lois nodded to signify he had received her blessing.

“Huh, it looks like you always like to throw yourself onto men?" A sultry and clear voice suddenly rang out from behind her. It was this girl again. She seemed to always appear around them out of nowhere.

Emily turned around and faced her with a smile, "Miss Gale, you're not uncomfortable in any way, right?"

"You're being weird." Wendy glared at her while thinking about the meaning of her question. Why did Emily ask whether she was uncomfortable or not? This crazy bitch.

Emily shrugged and added, "Ouch, I have a small wound on the tip of my thumb, and it feels quite itchy after I have eaten a lot of seafood."

She scratched her thumb visibly while lifting the corners of her mouth to display a faint smile.

"I hope you're fine considering that you've eaten so much seafood at noon just now."

After saying that, she turned around and headed to the audience area with Sally by her arm.

Sally couldn't help shooting a glance towards Wendy as she asked, "Her attire is somehow covering her chin. It looks good on her, but people might be curious about it."

"Don't you know what happened? Wendy's chin was scorched by fire lately, and the skin in that area is damaged visibly. How could she expose that?"

Emily's voice was not loud in the slightest, but she could still be heard clearly by the people nearby her.

"You..." Wendy had heard her too as she shot a venomous glance backwards, but that damned rascal had put some distance in between them.

Instead, some onlookers were focusing their eyes on her chin. Despite Emily's claim, her chin was covered by laces, so nobody really knew whether her chin was damaged.

The design was indeed slightly out of place.

Could it be that Emily was telling the truth? Was it true that Wendy's chin was now damaged beyond repair, and her skin in that area was rotten?

Several pursuers were not hesitating when they heard that her skin might be

rotten now. Although they couldn't check the validity of such rumour, their imagination was starting to run wild. It was as if they could picture her skin condition perfectly and it made her whole image became worse.

In their minds, Wendy's skin was badly mutilated. They almost vomited at the thought of such a gruesome image.

Wendy was now heaving heavy breaths as her expression had changed drastically.

"There's nothing wrong with my chin! Why did you say that there's something wrong with my chin!"

She was really enraged at the sight of these onlookers. They were throwing strange glances in her direction as if she was someone who had contracted a deadly virus.

They were visibility retreating from her, showing that they were scared to have anything to do with her.

This was too much! In the morning, weren't they the same set of people who were staring at her while salivating profusely?

Anyway, there was really nothing wrong with her chin, but it did begin to feel a little itchy.

"Miss Gale, the competition is going to start very soon. Let's enter the judge area." Her assistant Amara reminded her.

Wendy lightly grabbed her chin because her chin had started to itch suddenly.

Seeing that most of the audience had seated themselves, she didn't want to continue standing here too. She took her seat at the judge area with the accompaniment of Amara.

Her chin was getting very itchy by the second...

"Where's Henry?" She could only see Ashton, who was Henry's assistant, sitting in his place in the judge seat so she couldn't help but frown.

Henry was the outstanding one among them. If he was not here, there couldn't be any meaning to all of her plans here.

Henry was especially intimate with Emily, but as long as it was someone who Emily was fond of, she wouldn't want to let Emily get her hands on that person. Did Emily ever ask her permission to establish any special connection with

Henry?

Henry, who was so outstanding, could only like Wendy!

Emily, this bitch, should get lost as soon as possible.

"Is he not planning to come?" Wendy scratched her face slightly while smiling at Ashton.

"Young Master Henry didn't tell me anything about this. He just ordered me to take over his responsibilities as a judge this afternoon." Ashton replied politely. Wendy wanted to ask further about this, but her chin was starting to get so itchy that she almost couldn't maintain her composure anymore.

She couldn't just scratch her chin all day long, so she decided to rub her face lightly in an attempt to ease the itchiness.

She almost caused her skin on her face to bleed, and yet it had done nothing to relieve the itchiness plaguing her chin!

It was too itchy!

This damned Emily. She finally knew Emily's true goal for sending lots of food her way during lunch just now.

She knew fully well that Wendy had a wound on her chin, yet she had encouraged Wendy to eat a lot of seafood, such as sea lettuce, fish and even mashed shrimp

wah!noveldrama

She had put this plan into motion in order to bring harm to Wendy!

This bitch really had ill intentions all along.

"Wendy, you should stop scratching your face." Amara noticed her weird

behaviour as she tried to stop her, "If you continue to do that, your face will be

ruined."☐☐☐

 

Chapter 198 Emily, I Want You Dead

Of course, Wendy knew fully well that she couldn't continue to scratch her face.

Or else, her face would be ruined before her chin could recover.

Although she was sensible, the itchiness was just too overwhelming. She was on the verge of crying!

Wendy was really a bitch! This damned bitch!

"Ah! Miss Gale, stop scratching!" Her lace which was supposed to cover her chin

had now given way and a bright red scar on her chin was exposed.

The photographer which was doing live streaming aimed his camera lens at Wendy accidentally at this moment.

In an instant, the sight of her wound was being magnified on the huge screen in the arena.

"Don't be afraid!"

Wendy was flustered as she lifted her had to cover her chin.

The photographer realized what he had done as he immediately averted the focus of his camera from her face.

Despite his effort, what was captured on the camera would now always exist on the internet since it was live streaming. There was no way to reverse the damage done now!

"Oh my! How could she be so ugly?"

"It turns out that she was disfigured. No wonder she has to wear something so weird."

"I really thought that she is a beauty. I can't anticipate that her skin is mutilated at the moment!"

"It is too disgusting; did you see her badly mutilated and gory skin just now?"

"Stop it, I am going to vomit my lunch now. I was even picturing her in my mind when I saw her this morning."

"Did you say you were picturing you together with this kind of woman? Oh my! Stop being disgusting."

The crowd had broken out in gossips in the audience seats. Most of the comments were mocking Wendy endlessly.

Wendy was so furious she couldn't even hold back her tears anymore. Amara swiftly stood in front of her and said anxiously, "Miss Gale, you..."

"I want to go back now! You will take my place here!"

Wendy abruptly stood up while concealing her chin. She gnashed her teeth while she blurted out, "You must make sure Emily's team will not make it to the next round, or else, I'll hold you responsible for this!"

"But..." Amara was very torn at the moment.

If Emily's team did not perform well, they would naturally be eliminated. How could she wield any power in causing them to be eliminated if they had performed well later on?noveldrama

The key part about this judging was that Wendy's opinion didn't hold the most weight among the judges. The major player here was Henry's camp.

Should she make things clear to Henry's camp?

Wendy was already abandoning her. Before she left, she looked upwards and glimpsed Emily who was seated in the audience area.

Emily was returning her gaze as a faint smile was playing around her lips. She looked jubilant.

It looked obvious that she was gazing upon Wendy with sarcasm.

Wendy gritted her teeth while clenching her fists hard.

How dare Emily to embarrass her in front of so many people? She would never let Emily go! Not this time!

She wanted Emily dead! She must see through to the end for this to happen!

Wendy finally left the arena, and Emily's smile slowly disappeared from her face. Sally who was next to her was still looking around. When she was sure that Wendy was gone, she patted her chest as if she had just relieved herself from some predicament.

"I can't imagine that she looks so ugly in reality. This is really unthinkable."

Emily didn't say anything in response. This whole fiasco was indeed engineered by her.

Perhaps, this was too cruel a treatment for a girl.

But, if the target was Wendy, then she would exhaust all options even if she would appear cruel and heartless.

"That's enough, let's watch Aryan now." She said.

"Alright." Sally focused her gaze on the middle of the arena.

The competition was starting soon, and the tension around the arena was rising by the minute.

They hoped that Aryan could overcome his inner demons and put forth his best performance!

Emily trained her gaze on the seat where the main judge should be seated.

Henry was nowhere to be found. But in actuality, this type of competition didn't necessitate the attendance of Young Master Henry from the Sharp family.

His absence was something that appeared normal.

She retrieved her gaze and was focusing on Aryan now. Emily let out a breath and calmed herself down.

Aryan must do his best at this point.

The competition began after the host had articulated some rules.

Every participant unlocked their computers, and the script that had been written in the morning appeared on the screens.

In fact, everybody was aware of what type of story they had received.

In the morning, when the writers were writing the storylines, every team had taken

a photo of the screen so that the main artist could start to formulate a plan for their manga.

Lois was very clear about the script that Emily had gotten her hands on.

Once the computer was unlocked, he immediately pulled out a drawing pad and went into action.

He would start with the storyboard first.

The pen in his hand seemed to take on a life of its own. The storyboard appeared

on the pad in no time and there wasn't even one mistake by him.

He was fast, precise and accurate! This was indeed Lois' style.

Despite his efficiency, everybody realized that after one hour, Lois was only able

to construct half of the required storyboard for the story Emily had chosen in the morning.

It seemed like his speed wasn't fast enough after all! After the storyboard was completed, he had to move on to draw lines that required even more accuracy.

If he had forced himself to get it done, perhaps the outcome was still favourable. But for the person responsible for sketching the lines tomorrow, it would be torture waiting for him. Besides, if the storyboard and the outline was not good enough, they might not even make it to the next round today.

"I have mentioned this and I will repeat it now, that student named Emily was being too selfish in the morning when she was constructing the storyline. She never took into account the interest of her team at all."

Amara smiled at Ashton while adding, "Some kids nowadays are sorely lacking in team spirit. They only care about their own interest."

Ashton remained silent as he didn't give any reply to her statement. It was as if Amara was not talking to him in the first place.

Seeing this, Amara frowned as she felt a little upset.

She didn't forget her original task which was to prevent September Drawing Club from passing through in this competition. Therefore, she couldn't mind Ashton for being impolite. She had to use every method in order to establish a working connection between them.

"The script is too complicated. It seems that this student from September Drawing Club will not be able to finish his part today."

This time, Amara directly addressed him, "Mr Ashton, don't you think so?" Since he was being called directly, Ashton could only flash a formal smile at her.

Amara couldn't just stop here, so she continued, "Today, only six teams will advance out of the eight remaining teams. September Drawing Club will be the first to get eliminated in this round."

As she declared this, she blatantly marked a cross on the space above the words "September Drawing Club" on her scoreboard.

Ashton furrowed his eyebrows as he peeked at her disapprovingly.

"The competition is not done yet, how can you just judge them now? May I know who are you representing, miss?"

"I..."

"We from the Sharp camp are the main judges here. We have to uphold the fairness of this competition and it seems like your actions are going against our mantra, miss."

"I..." Amara froze on the spot. She couldn't anticipate that people from the Sharp camp would be so adamant about their stance!

"I'm from the Jackson family." Her expression darkened slightly.

The Jackson family was even more prestigious than the Sharp family. Would he continue to be so stubborn even after learning about this fact?

"I can't believe the Jackson family would arrange for someone so unprofessional to be the judge."

Ashton was snorting with dissatisfaction on this face, "I hope that you can provide a sound and professional judgement here. Otherwise, we will request for the

Jackson family to make a change of personnel."

"You..." Amara was gawking at him while holding back her rage.

How could he be so impolite? How could he treat a girl without courtesy? He was

going too far!

Ashton shifted his attention away from her as he continued to watch the

participants.

He was the legendary artist and he was living up to his name. His hand must be

priceless.

It was lucky for September Drawing Club to be able to recruit such a formidable artist for themselves.

Despite that, Emily's script was too complicated. It was not something anybody could accept.

This time, it seemed like the legendary artist would not be able to buy them a lot of time.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐

Chapter 199 I Love You

Everybody could see how hardworking Aryan was, even from the audience area.

Another half an hour had passed, and the storyboard was finally nearing completion.

But as long as the storyboard was not completed, it would be hard to carry out the initial sketching later.

Half of the time for this competition had passed by.

Not far away, Nina was looking relaxed on her seat as she was leisurely completing her drawing.

She was indeed talented. She was putting down strokes after strokes with ease and accuracy too.

Her outline was very pretty. Although this was just the initial outline, one could see how the final artwork would look like just by laying eyes on her outline.

She had only brought two assistants with her, and these two assistants were tasked with erasing excessive strokes of drawing after she had completed a few scenes of the storyboard.

Basically, Nina's drawing couldn't be faulted at all, and there was nothing extra about it. Therefore, she didn't need to bring a lot of assistants to help her. Her current assistants looked vacant too as they were seated on her sides.

She lived up to her name as a talented artist. She was able to cement her position in the industry mainly because of her talent and capability.

Emily removed her gaze from Nina on the big screen and continued to watch Aryan intently.

Compared to Aryan, Nina would still lose in terms of speed. Despite that, Nina was almost done with the whole artwork while Aryan was still struggling with the storyboard.

Sally who was on the side was now nervous with beads of sweats covering her forehead, "What should we do now? What if he can't complete it in time?"

"Emily, what do you think we should do? If this situation persists, we can't know for sure that our team will advance to the next round."

"If we can't advance this afternoon, we don't need to come anymore tomorrow."

"Lois should just start with the sketch like usual. He doesn't have time to worry about Rufus Graham this time."

"We can talk about Rufus' part tomorrow. If we can't break through our current predicament, our future strategies all won't be of any use."

"But, can Aryan hear s? Emily, is there any way we can inform him not to care about Rufus' part and focusing on advancing today?"

"What should we do? The storyboard is not completed yet..."

"What should we do?"

After some time, all the worries and complaints finally ceased to exist near Emily.

Sally was not complaining anymore. She looked unreadable, but it was a relief she was not calling out unnecessarily anymore.

It felt like Sally had expanded in size because they had been stuck together although there were only the two of them sitting next to each other.

However, Emily didn't bother to find out about the reason Sally had been forcing herself on her despite they had enough space around their seats. She didn't want to find out why Sally had somehow expanded in size and made them feel packed.

She couldn't care about trivial matters now as all her attention was focused on Aryan at the moment.

Aryan's speed was incomparable to his usual speed when he was constructing the storyboard today.

Despite that, in Emily's eyes, he had already done his best.

Somehow, his storyboard was constructed with even greater details compared to how he had done it normally. Time was ticking fast, and it was already one hour and forty minutes since the commencement of the competition.

Finally! Aryan finally started to work on sketching the outlines!

"Wow!"

Suddenly, there was an uproar stemming from the crowd.

Emily's heart contracted as her gaze was fixed on the big screen. She couldn't even bring herself to breathe normally!

She finally understood why Aryan was slower than usual when drawing the storyboard.

It turned out that he wasn't just merely slower, he was actually adding in an additional procedure hidden within his movements. He was setting up reference points for the sketch later on!

For the uninitiated, they would not understand why Aryan was randomly scribbling dots after dots from the screen. Besides Aryan himself, nobody could discern his real motive.

They all thought that he was just randomly leaving behind small dots!

But Emily could finally see it now!

Those dots were not random dots; they were in fact the reference points for his sketch now!

After Aryan had finished with his storyboard and was now working on the sketch, those dots were finally being put into use.

This time, each character's face, limbs and figure could be instantly produced by using the reference points. He didn't even need to think too much about the process!

Furthermore, with how his artwork looked like at the moment, there was no need for others to add in strokes of lines later on!

"My God! Is he... still human? He's more like a machine now!"

Someone from the audience area exclaimed.

"Is the legendary artist from September Drawing Club finally showing his true colours? He's too scary, how did he manage to do that?"

The burst of discussion among the audience had somehow distracted Nina who was focused on her artwork.

She would never distract herself with anything when she was drawing, but this time, she couldn't help throwing a gaze at the big screen herself.

When she saw what was happening, she felt herself going completely numb! The person on the screen looked like he was on fast forward mode like a video one could see on Tiktok.

She even suspected that with Aryan's current speed, he was even faster than a video being put on fast forward eight times! No, it was more accurate to say that this was ten times faster!

The pen flew all over the drawing pad, and the initial sketch was completed in no time.

He didn't even need to use stickers for the background as he simply sketched them using his bare hands. It was as if the image was already there unbeknownst

to every onlooker. All he had to do was using his magical pen to glide past the drawing pad and the image would be conjured instantly.

He was too amazing and scary...

"Miss Marsh, stop looking!" The assistant next to her urged her, "Someone is close to handing in their work!"

Nina snapped her head around and saw that someone from one of the teams was already handing in the artwork!

She couldn't believe that she was not the first one to complete the artwork! Nina immediately grasped her pen as she looked at her artwork which was also nearing completion. She wanted to breeze through this easily at first.

But at this time, her whole mind was stuffed with images of Aryan breezing through his artwork on his drawing pad, and she could even hear the sound of his pen flying all over his pad. She suddenly found herself unable to continue her own work somehow.

"Miss Marsh..."noveldrama

"Shut up!"

Nina shut her eyes, wanting to calm her nerves. No matter how hard she tried, she found herself unable to calm down!

He was too fast, just too fast!

She had never seen someone who could draw so fast. She had never met such a formidable opponent previously!

"Miss Marsh, you have to continue no matter what!" Her assistant reminded her

again while bracing herself for more reprimands.

Of course, Nina knew she had to continue at this point.

But somehow, she couldn't move her pen at all!

She couldn't continue her artwork!

In the end, she suddenly stood up and handed her pen to her assistant while

barking, "You draw in my place!"

Although the assistant was stunned, but judging from her condition, he could see

that somehow she was unable to finish her artwork.

He helplessly took over the pen and took Nina's place in order to finish her

artwork.

At the same time, Nina was scrutinizing at the guy not far away. Her fingers were even trembling at the moment after watching his speedy fingers.

In the audience area, those who were planning to leave the arena because of the duration of the competition stopped in their tracks after watching Aryan's performance on the big screen.

Most of them even returned to their seats to continue watching the competition.

They were witnessing a legend in work at the moment. In just seven minutes, Aryan was able to complete sixty scenes of sketches in one go.

Among these sketches, close to forty scenes were even completed with stroking too. The only step left was to colour the scenes.

This was not something a mere mortal could have done.

When the bell rang to signal the end of the competition, a huge uproar erupted

following Aryan's last stroke of brilliance.

"This is too amazing!"

"Too amazing!"

"It is a legend in action..."

His last stroke had somehow touched Emily's heart too.

"He's done! The artwork is really done!"

"This is great, Aryan! This is amazing!"

She was so excited that she was even hugging the person next to her and kissing

her.

It felt like everybody had become so adorable. Even for Sally, who was always noisy, she looked so adorable that even Emily wanted to get a piece of her.

She really planted a kiss on Sally!

"I love you; I love you guys so much!"

But strangely enough, why did Sally feel so tall right now?☐☐☐☐

Chapter 200 This Guy Is Crazy

Why did Sally feel so tall right now?

When Emily wanted to kiss her, she even had to wrap her hands around her neck to pull her closer.

Besides, this face, this feeling, this...

"Ah!"

Emily screamed while letting out of this... man who was about to be kissed by her! Based on her scream, it was obvious she was shell shocked at the moment.

It was a man! Why was a man appearing in Sally's place?

What surprised her more was that this man had turned out to be... Emily called out numbly, "Young... Young Master Hunter?"

Why was he here at this timing? When did he arrive? Where was Sally now?

Not far away, Sally was peering at them while blushing.

Oh my, she couldn't believe her eyes when she saw Emily trying to kiss... Young Master Hunter!

My God, Emily was too brazen! Was this how they were interacting with each other behind closed doors? She really didn't know about this at all!

Oh no, Sally, it's not like what you had seen... Emily wanted to explain that she had mistaken the person next to her as Sally.

She wanted to kiss her because she couldn't control her excitement at the moment.

Who knew... who knew that she had instead kissed Hunter?

The students surrounding them were watching Hunter with shocked expression on their faces.

They had seen an extremely handsome guy being kissed by none other than... Emily, the ugly duckling!

Oh my! He was really kissed by her! They were sure of it.

The competition in the arena was very exciting right now, but the man here was really attractive and eye-catching. They were at a loss where they should train their eyes on at the moment.

"I... I need to go now." Emily was so flustered that her face had turned bright red.

She immediately stood up and left without so much as looking in Hunter's direction.

It was too scary! The whole thing was too scary!

She had somehow kissed Hunter so publicly in front of so many prying eyes... it was too scary!

Emily wanted to leave, but Hunter was sitting there motionless.

Since she was sitting on the inside, she had to bypass Hunter on the front in order to leave.

At this moment, as if it was fated to happen, she suddenly tripped herself on something and plunged forward before she could let out a scream.

"Emily!" Sally was so astonished her mouth was left hanging wide.

She wanted to get her out of that situation, but they were too far apart. She wouldn't make it in time.

If Emily hit her face on the stairs, her face would be destroyed forever!

Just when Emily was going to kiss the stairs head on, a force suddenly pulled her waist and she was stopped from falling downwards.

In an instant, she was sitting on someone's thighs as her whole body was being plunged into his embrace.

"I'm sorry!" Emily was so shaken she wanted to break free from his embrace frantically.

Hunter didn't intend to stop her but he was too tall and his legs were too long.

Although Emily was sitting on his thighs, to her surprise, her legs were somehow hanging in mid-air!

She was a like a child who was fidgeting around aimlessly as she inadvertently rubbed herself against him in the process. After some hard work, she finally climbed down onto the floor.

She was so shameless!

This was definitely the kind of comment she would receive from any girls who had witnessed this scene.

How could she rub herself against such a handsome guy? Was she so shameless since the beginning?

More importantly, she was an ugly woman!

"Young Master Hunter, I'm, I'm going now." Emily wanted to flee the scene immediately.

Her wrist was suddenly being held by him.

The grip was not too overbearing but it was still firm. She couldn't break free no matter what she did.

"I haven't seen your school yet." Hunter stood up next to her. "Bring me around."

Bentson University was in close proximity to Skyler University. Both universities were just separated by a street stretching between them.

Bentson University was not as luxurious and prestigious as Skyler University, but as the second major university in Bentson City, the whole build was still decent. The backyard was especially scenic, as the design was full of historical meaning. There were a lot of arching doors as well as small paths. The whole area was lush with foliage and hilly terrains. There was even a lake in the middle of it.

"Are you always here?" When they were taking a stroll in the forest, Hunter suddenly asked.

Emily looked at him slightly and then shook her head.

"Great."

She was befuddled by his response, "Why is that?”

Why did he show approval when she said she was not always here? Was there anything wrong with this place?

This place had the perfect environment for reading or meditating. It was the perfect place for such activities.

Hunter lowered his gaze and shot her a glance while replying with a blank expression, “This place is suitable for couples to do shameless things."

Shameless things...

Emily turned around and got a glimpse of tress and hills. If a couple were to do those things behind them...

"Cough!" Her face reddened while she replied indignantly, "We're all just students, how can students do that..."

"Uh..." Suddenly, there was a soft moan by a girl drifting in from somewhere nearby.

Emily was so astonished that she had widened her eyes. She wanted to take a look but she didn't dare to move an inch!

What the hell? It was still evening at the moment.

The sky hadn't darkened yet, but some couple was already hiding in this forest and carrying out... some shameless activities. Weren't they going too far?

What's more, she had just done protesting to Hunter about a student's purity and innocence.

But it seemed like her words were instantly contradicted by such an occurrence! It was a blatant contradiction!

This was too much! They had gone too far!

"What do you want to say again?" Hunter stared at her reddened face while raising his eyebrows. "Hmm?"

His tone was heightened slightly to make clear the irony in his voice. Emily bit her lips as her cheeks continued to turn into a deeper shade of red.

"There's... there's nothing nice to see around here, I'll bring you to another spot."

"I think this place has some great scenery." It was rare for Hunter to see Emily being so anxious, so he didn't want this episode to end so soon.

"I..."

"Ah..."

Some muffled sound could be heard every now and then, which caused Emily to become uptight as her heart started to pound furiously. She wanted to leave this place as fast as possible.

To her disappointment, Hunter seemed to be enjoying himself with the scenery here. He didn't look like he was leaving any time soon.

Or to be more precise, he was enjoying the... sound here?

Emily blushed again at the thought of this.

"Young Master Hunter, let's not stay here anymore." Her voice sounded like

begging at the moment.

"Why is that?" He wasn't budging at all.

Why? How could he have the nerve to ask about the reason?

She couldn't pinpoint the source of this sound but the sound was beginning to

become clearer by the second.

The sound probably originated from one of the hills nearby.

The couple responsible for those sound seemed to have detected them too, so in

an instant, the whole place became silent.

Just when Emily was still contemplating her next move, Hunter suddenly held her hand and dashed forward.

"I think the sound originated from the hill in front of us. Let's take a look at who was creating this noise."

"You..." He was planning to take a look? Oh my! This was... too sinful!

Despite that, Hunter didn't loosen his grip on her wrist as he sped up.

Did he think that nobody would hear him while his voice was actually loud and

clear?

Before they could stumble upon them, the couple was able to wear their clothes fast and disappeared from the hill in no time.

Emily felt sorry for that couple...

But she didn't anticipate that Hunter would suddenly take an interest in such matters as he was now running forward at full speed while dragging her.

"Let's go, let's see is there anybody else who is hiding in the shadows. You should

take a photo of them and report it to your head of faculty."

"You..."

He's crazy! He's totally crazy now!

Emily couldn't even reject his idea as she was dragged just like this all the way.noveldrama

In response, those people who were shocked by their sudden intrusion were all feeing in different directions frantically.

Hunter, who was the instigator, suddenly laughed uncontrollably when he saw that everybody was fleeing.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
