Ch. 206..210: Stay Around You Now And Forever (Hunter Jackson) Chapter 206-210
Chapter 206 Why Does He Come Over
Last night, reportedly, an accident had happened at a place which was a stone's throw away from the campus of Skyler University.
Flora was knocked down by a car.
"I received the news that Flora started the quarrel herself but she ended up getting injured.”
Lois was indeed fast in receiving the latest news because before everyone departed to Skyler University, she already brought back the news.
"I heard that Flora had some sort of argument with Nina's team and not long after, she was accidentally knocked down by a car."
"Is that really an accident?" Knocked down again! How could there be so many accidents? Sally was not willing to believe it at all.
"It's really an accident. The person driving the car...I mean the leader of Skyler University is not intentional to do it..."
Initially, Lois also suspected whether it was an "accident" planned by Nina and her mates or not.
However, it did not make sense as Flora's Painting Club was totally not
considered a threat to Nina.
Now, Aryan quitted the competition. There was no doubt that Nina's team would win the first place.
Therefore, there was no reason for Nina to hurt Flora.
"I heard that it was Flora's mates who started the quarrel. I don't know what exactly happened, I just know that in the meantime of quarrelling, Flora was pushed by an unknown person and so she directly collided with a car on the road."
"How is her condition?" Emily asked.
"She was sent to the hospital but the members of the guarded her so well that nobody had the chance to inquire about this matter."
Even the members of the Hans fmaily was also involved, it seemed that she was seriously injured.
Sally thought for a moment and suddenly sighed, "Now, it seems like it is not entirely a bad thing for Aryan to quit our team."
"Why isn't it a bad thing? We're bound to lose today." Lois was disheartened whenever she heard Aryan's name.
Although Sally was demotivated too, at least she knew how to think positively.
"At least, we will be safe now as Aryan quits our team, right?"
Outstanding people were always targeted by people. Look at Nina, something bad immediately happened after Aryan approached her.
Whereas, for themselves, Terry said that the people who were monitoring them yesterday had retreated due to Aryan's quitting.
So, they did not meet any troubles up to now.
"Never mind, let's just treat it as a blessing in disguise."
Emily smiled and lightly pushed them out.
Joe also managed to smile slightly, "Yes, the competition is already around the corner, there's nothing else we can do."
Right? The competition was going to start soon, it was impossible for them to enter the competition venue with a crying face.
"But, our main painter..." Sally looked at Emily, "You mean, let me be the main painter for today?"
"Do you think we have the chance to be the top three with you as the main painter?" Emily glanced at her.
Sally pursed her lips, "No."
"So, you have nothing to do with the main painter's job. Let's go."
Emily was the first to go out. Everyone could only follow her, heading to the campus of Skyler University.
"But if you don't let me be the main painter, our team will not have any main painter then, how?"
"The cart will find its way round the hill when it gets there."
"We're arriving at the hill very soon, where is the way you said?" Sally really did not understand what Emily was thinking.
It was at most a 10-minute journey to Skyler University from here.
The hill was clearly blocked, where was the way to enter the hill? Did she think that when it came to time for competition, the main painter would appear suddenly?
Or was it because she thought that it was a team game for today so someone else could catch up with the opponent's score even without the main painter?
Was that possible? Without the main painter, there was not even a general idea. Without a general idea, no matter how good the soul was, it was still considered a ghost, okay?
"Let's go, you're so naggy."
The campus of Skyler University was still quiet and peaceful.
There were extremely well-cultivated flowers and plants everywhere. As soon as they entered, they felt a breath of fresh air which made them feel comfortable.
There was a car screeching sound. A luxurious car was parked at the outdoor parking lot not far behind them.
"Flora's car." Lois could immediately recognize it.
Flora? Wasn't she in the hospital? She was still able to participate in the competition?
A few bodyguards opened the car door and pushed Flora out.
Yes, she was pushed out because her leg was injured. Now, she was sitting in a wheelchair.
After that, more than a dozen team members followed Flora and this group of people headed to the stadium.noveldrama
Seeing Emily and others right in front of her, Flora waved her hand when she passed by.
Flora's group of people stopped. Flora stared at Emily and gradually twitched her face.
"Ugly monster, why didn't you stop Aryan from quitting your team?"
Emily had a feeling like stepping on the dog shit barefoot as she was really innocent, "I think it's none of my business?"
"If you are not so ugly, Aryan will not be scared away by you and will still be in
your team, so Nina will not have the chance to win today!"
Flora gritted her teeth and clenched her fist, wishing she could smash Emily's freckled face with one punch!
"If it wasn't you, will that bitch, Nina be so arrogant? Your face indeed looks like shit! You're vermin!"
Emily was simply speechless.
Sally and Lois rushed forward and protected Emily behind them.
"Bah! You know you can't win Nina and that's why you're being mocked and bullied by her, right?"
"That's right. You can't win her, but this is your problem, why do you need to give vent to Emily? If you're so good, go find Nina!"
"How does she dare to find Nina? Look at her legs, isn't that the price for finding Nina?"
"True. Flora Hans, you have to make a detour whenever you see Nina from now on, right? Hahaha..."
"You..." Flora gritted her teeth.
The two bodyguards behind Flora moved forward, acting as if they were going to beat someone.
Terry took two steps forward calmly. Even though he did not utter a word and there was no fierce expression on his face.
However, he just had such an imposing manner in which whenever her eyes flashed with coldness, people would instantly feel the power of his fist. "We're in Skyler University. I don't want to waste my time on you guys." Flora waved her hand and the two bodyguards retreated immediately. She snorted coldly, "In the future, don't let me see you guys outside."
"Tut, you just know how to say harsh words."
"Yeah, if you're so good just go and find Nina."
Flora gritted her teeth and let her bodyguards brought her away.
Watching them walk away, Emily let out a light breath, "This woman is a little bit crazy, we really have to be careful in the future."
Nina was still considered a sane person. She would somehow use some means to achieve her aim but at least she would not go crazy.
Flora, on the other hand, might directly turn insane when she was provoked.
Sally and Lois looked at each other and shrugged shoulders at the same time, not speaking.
They just felt angry unbearably as Flora was really insane!
She was deeply provoked by Nina but she vented her anger on Emily. What else was she if she was not psychotic?
"Let's go in."
Emily who did not seem to have the mood for joking at all walked straight to the stadium.
If you said she was sad, it was not true as she looked quite confident.
If you said she was confident, it was not true too as her eyes were occasionally showing the dark cloud of gloom.
What exactly was Emily thinking about, everyone simply could not figure out.
They arrived at the entrance of the stadium. Before they entered, they heard noises from the back.
There were exclamations and even gasps of surprise, as if a great personage was coming.
Emily turned to look at the back. Her heart started palpitating at that moment.
Today was the day of the finals, why did he come over?☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
Chapter 207 No Woman Can Remain Composure in Front of Him
A few minutes ago, there was a commotion in the stadium due to Young Master Henry's presence.
But because a few days ago, Young Master Henry had come once already so his presence this time although was quite sensational, the situation was not too exaggerated.
But now, this man's arrival had caused all the reporters to completely burst with excitement!
The campus comic contest this time had caused a great commotion in the animation industry of Bentson City because of the Sharp Group's assistance in hosting it.
Plus, later on, even Jackson Group had sent someone over to be a judge. This made the commotion to become even greater.
Now, with his arrival, he had raised the excitement of the competition to an unprecedented level!
Young Master Hunter was here!
As Hunter was the representative of the Jackson family who had one thousand and one things to do every day, a normal reporter did not even have the chance to meet him once a year. But now, he had shown up personally!
The moment he got out of the car, the girls around him were deeply impressed by him and were in high spirits.
This man was so handsome that the women could not calm themselves down!
Handsome! Cool! Haughty! No woman could resist!
Emily saw him get out of the car and pace into the crowd.
The situation was chaotic. If he did not have an absolute advantage in height, she would face difficulty to look at him.
"Move, move!" The security guards of the school and bodyguards of Jackson Group walked ahead to clear the path.
Sally and Lois immediately gave way to them.
Seeing that Emily was still standing on the steps at the entrance of the stadium, as if she had forgotten to react, Terry gently called out, "Emily."
Emily still did not respond. The group of security guards was now not far from her. Terry could only gently embrace her shoulders and pulled her away.
"Uh, sorry, I was thinking about something just now." Emily was shocked and felt a little embarrassed.
Just like those girls, she also lost her mind when she looked at Young Master Hunter.
Terry did not say anything. He calmly faced the icy gaze without any hint of fear. Emily was facing Terry, but not the group of Young Master Hunter's people, so, she did not know that Hunter was now gazing at her.
"Are you okay?" Terry asked in a low voice.
Emily shook her head, suddenly tiptoed and moved closer to him.
Terry knew she had something to tell him so he immediately bent his body.
Emily whispered beside his ear, "You don't need to stay here during the competition. You go out and do something."
"What?" How could she let him leave during this important competition?
"Listen to me," she whispered something again.
Terry slightly frowned and although he felt a little unbelievable, he still thought that whatever said by her would definitely be right.
"Alright." His gaze was soft with a hint of pleasure, "I hope, he will not fail you."
"Go."
Emily pushed him away.
Without hesitation, Terry turned around and left.
Emily watched him leave before turning to look at the entrance of the stadium.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned, she was confronted with a glance that was apparently from the deepest part of the glacier.
The glance could make a person instantly feel that he or she had fallen into an ice
cave.
But after half a second, Emily could not see his glance anymore.
In the blink of an eye, he had already entered the stadium with a group of people accompanying him.
"What did you ask Terry to do?" Sally looked at the back of Terry who was leaving. "Of course, there's something to be done by him." Emily pulled her, "Stop looking, let's go in."
The crowd finally dispersed a bit after Young Master Hunter entered the stadium. However, because of the arrival of Young Master Hunter and Young Master Henry, the girls who received the news simply went crazy.
Those who originally had no interest in comics at all were now also rushing over to watch the competition, just to catch more glimpses of the handsome men.
This was because the two men were both the legends of Bentson City. Some people would never be able to see the two men in their own eyes.
Emily led the team but she realized that Lois did not move.
She turned back and found that Lois was still standing in the same spot, looking
at the entrance of the stadium as if her mind was somewhat unhinged.
"Why are you still standing here?" Sally gave her a shove.
"So handsome..."
Sally felt disgusted, "Mind your spit."
Lois had said before that Young Master Henry was the most handsome man she had ever seen when she saw him.
Now, when she saw Young Master Hunter, she looked like a nymphomaniac again who did not feel ashamed.
"What's wrong? Everyone loves to see beautiful things and people, isn't that what handsome men are for?"
They were all the kind of superb men who could only be seen from afar. If she did not gaze at them, what else could she do, running over to kiss them?
Sally did not want to bother her. Whenever she thought about the matter that their team did not have the main painter, she looked very worried.
She did not have the mood to think about any handsome men.
They walked into the stadium, looked up and saw a bustle of activity at the front.
There were countless reporters, countless broadcast platforms and countless viewers.noveldrama
Aryan was in Nina's team.
Nina, however, was standing beside the group of people beside Young Master Hunter, as if she wanted to go over and greet him. But, she could not squeeze in because there were too many people.
"Elder brother, I'm Nina, elder brother..."
She was Sarah's niece. Although she was not the daughter of the Jackson family, she had been following the daughters of the Jackson family to call Hunter as the elder brother.
She also did not expect that Young Master Hunter, the man that could not be easily seen even in the Jackson family, would be present.
As long as she had shown ties of kinship with Young Master Hunter, she would definitely be able to have a bright future in the animation circle.
Every company had to give Young Master Hunter some face.
In short, if the broadcast platform could show that she and Young Master Hunter were relatives, in the future, in the animation circle of Bentson City, she would be able to do whatever she liked!
"Elder brother, it's Nina..."
"Look at what she looks like now. Her usual noble and cold demeanour is completely gone."
Lois shook her head and was overcome with emotion.
She really did not expect that Nina who was usually a goddess in front of everyone would have such behaviour also.
In order to get close to Young Master Hunter, she pushed her way through the crowd. She was indeed...losing face.
Emily, however, was calm, as if she had gotten used to this kind of situation.
There were very few women who could maintain a good demeanour in front of Young Master Hunter.
Basically, no woman could remain composure in front of him.
This man could make a person to be addicted!
Therefore, it was better not to approach him.
In the previous life, Emily was exactly like a nymphomaniac who went crazy after
seeing him.
Compared to Nina, she, herself was even more wretched, more shameless and more...detestable.
"Aryan..." Sally's sight fell on that figure which was distant from her.
He was standing in the crowd of Nina's team, not saying a word and also not
looking at Nina.
As usual, when he was thinking about things, everything that happened around him was apparently nothing to do with him.
Such a young man, it was unimaginable that he would betray his friends just for a
woman.
"Emily, it's time to sign in." Lois pulled her sleeve.
"Let's go."
The entire team had to sign in today, ranging from the playwright to the main painter, and also the people involved in outlining and colouring, As long as someone had participated in the competition, he or she had to sign in.
After signing in, the number of participants would be confirmed. These participants could not be changed midway through the competition.
Nina could not get close to Hunter, so she returned to the team with a grudge.
The assistant immediately said, "Miss Nina, it's time to sign in."
"Alright." Nina calmed down and looked at Aryan, "You just stay here and wait for me, I'll bring you to celebrate three hours later."
Chapter 208 This Is a Wonderful Show
"Emily, what should we do, whose name to write in the column of the main painter's name? I or Joe?"
Seeing the other teams going to sign in one by one and it would be their turn soon, Sally had butterflies in her stomach.
This problem, even if one tried to avoid, now, it was at the point where they could not avoid it anymore.
"It's fine, let's go there first." Emily still did not say any solution but just looked at the reception table.
Sally stamped her foot in anxiety, "Emily..."
"Hey, how are you guys? Still haven't found a new main painter?" Nina's team came over.
Looking at the participants of the team, no new person was joining in. Where was the main painter? Perhaps this person did not exist.
She laughed faintly, "Oh, I'm so sorry, I poached the main painter of your team at the very last minute... Eh, not really, he did not sign a contract with me after all.”
"He does not want to stay in your team anymore. It's a bit too bad for you all."
"Is it?" Emily did not bother her provocative words at all.
Instead, she asked with a smile, "Didn't you encounter some troubles when you met Flora last night?"
"That crazy dog!" Nina's face darkened when she heard that name.
Subconsciously, she touched her arm. There were still injuries on it. These were the scratches caused by Flora.
That crazy dog unexpectedly caused her to have several blood scratches on the street!
"Haha." Emily's smile still looked like nothing did matter to her, "It seems like she had given you a big shock too."
"Lunatic!"
Nina disliked her smile very much. She even had an urge to tear Emily's curling lips from her face.
This ugly and unattractive woman was like a clown in front of her but she still could smile so confidently.
As if this woman did not care about her at all.
Where did she get her confidence from? What made her so confident?
A smile like this could even make her feel pressured somehow!
Nina did not know what was going on with her as she was quite nervous to face the ugly monster, Emily.
She kept feeling that Emily must have a backup plan as she smiled so confidently.noveldrama
But now, what backup plan could she have? It was already a dead end!
Nina secretly adjusted her breathing and completely did not know what she was nervous about.
She scornfully said, "Loser, you are not eligible to talk to me. If you don't want to sign in, please get out of my way."
"Step aside!" Several team members immediately shouted exuberantly.
"We have to sign in too, why should we let you go first?" Sally coldly harrumphed.
However, surprisingly, Emily pulled her and said with a smile, "Let them go first. Anyway, it won't affect the result of the competition."
"That's right. Since you guys are going to lose anyway, it doesn't make any difference if you sign in or not."
Nina's team members, one by one, scoffed sarcastically.
"Without Aryan, you guys are trash, how can you guys compete with others? Better quit the competition!"
Sally was pulled away by Joe while Lois was also pulled back by Rufus.
Otherwise, two of them would definitely quarrel with Nina's team as they spoke so nastily.
Finally, the first four teams had all signed in. It was going to be their turn.
Sally looked at Emily and thought that Emily would really have an ultimate plan, but they were already about to sign in and the team still did not have the main painter.
Emily walked to the reception table with others in the group.
Flora's and Nina's team had returned to their team's rest area respectively. When they looked at Emily's team, two of them did not know whether to feel pitiful or funny.
Emily's team really did not hire a new main painter yet.
Emily was indeed a fool. She just needed to spend some money so that she could hire someone, why did not she do so?
Even if the newly hired main painter could not settle down as a team with them, it was still better than nothing.
Now, like this, how could they compete with others when the team was not even complete?
"Emily..." The playwright and the people involved in outlining and colouring had already signed in but the column for the main painter was still empty.
Sally clenched her hand into a fist tightly and her hands felt clammy. Joe and Rufus looked at each other. Even though they did not utter a word, they still looked a little anxious too.
"Who is the main painter?" The teacher sitting at the reception desk slightly pushed her glasses to make sure she did not miss out on something.
The column for the main painter was empty.
"The main painter..." Emily pursed her lips and said seriously, "Aryan." "What?" Now, even the teacher was bewildered.
Aryan became so famous after the competition on the day before yesterday.
Now, not only the students who had an interest in comics, including the teachers of Skyler University and Bentson University, who else still did not know him?
Gossiping was not something that only students would do, teachers would also talk about gossip from time to time.
Aryan had abandoned them and gone to Nina's team. But now, they still put Aryan's name as their main painter?
"Emily, are you...crazy." Sally bit her lips and did not dare to say out the last two words loudly.
But just as everyone was in an awkward situation, a tall figure approached them from the back.
He walked to Emily, picked up the pen on the reception table and wrote his name in the column for the main painter.
September Drawing Club, the main painter, Aryan!
"What's going on? What the hell is going on?"
"Didn't Aryan quit the September Drawing Club and later on went to Nina's team?"
"Yeah, didn't he go to Nina's Studio? I've been seeing him with Nina for the past two days."
"What the hell...is going on now?"
The teacher in charge of signing in was also dumbfounded. The teacher looked at Aryan and pushed the glasses again.
"Are you...really Aryan Nicholson?"
However, it was still the long hair and the face full of moustache dregs. He still looked like a performance artist...with a somewhat ugly look.
It was indeed Aryan! It was really him!
But, could someone explain what was going on now?
"Don't ask any question, just prepare for the competition." Emily's hand was put
on Sally's opened mouth and her hand gently covered it.
Sally blinked her pair of eyes that were filled with astonishment and shock. She wanted to ask many questions and also wanted to utter many words.
In the end, under Emily's calm gaze, she swallowed all the words that came to her mouth back into her stomach.
Sally decided not to ask anymore and felt relieved and great to see him joining back.
Rufus grasped Aryan's shoulder. His eyes were moist but he did not say a word.
Indeed, it was great to see him joining back.
Their them was finally complete again!
"What does that mean?" Not far away, Nina stared at the group of people standing together while her fingers were trembling violently.
"What else can it mean? Even I also can figure out what is happening!"
Flora was also flabbergasted for some moments but now she could really figure everything out.
Out of the blue, she stared at Nina and burst out laughing.
“Haha, hahahaha... So you turn out to be the stupidest one, hahahahaha..."
Aryan did not quit the September Drawing Club at all. In fact, from the beginning
to the end, the news about Aryan quitting the September Drawing Club was popped up just because people saw Aryan and Nina together.
But in fact, did he say he quitted?
Did he tell others personally that he would not participate in the last competition?
He did not do so. It was totally a trick!
A trick to stop others from focusing on the September Drawing Club so that they
would not do something bad to Emily and her teammates!
They...were foolishly duped!
Not only Nina was fooled, but she herself was fooled too!
No wonder Emily could be so confident all the time and did not hire the main
painter.
Emily and Aryan, nice one huh?
This was indeed a wonderful great show!
Chapter 209 A Blatant Attempt to Scramble for Someone
The competition today was mainly about teamwork.
The format was simple. The teams were given five hours from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. to complete an assigned story.
The difficulty level was super high.
It was also very boring for the judges and the audience.
So, a lot of the audience had left by noon.
While at the judges' table, nobody left because Young Master Hunter and Young Master Henry were still there.
Both of them were busy with their matter, each with a notebook.
They were the young masters of the powerful families and also the core people of
a big group who had one thousand and one things to do, so of course, they could not waste their entire five hours sitting down and doing nothing.
But actually, they really did not need to be present personally.
For this kind of competition, although they had to pick and choose a team, they could actually just ask their subordinates to do that task.
Coming personally was not only a waste of time, but also very boring.
The school authorities of Skyler University had directly set up tables in the stadium to invite Hunter and Henry for a meal.
Whereas, for the participants, the school authorities had prepared fast food for them.
The assigned storyline had a designated direction without specifics. Emily took an hour to thoroughly finish the entire script.
While for Aryan, he had already started to work on the line draft as soon as the first line of Emily's script was written. Indeed, he did not even waste a second.
Lois was busily pouring teas for the participants and delivering fast food to them. She also cleaned up the table for them.
Whenever Aryan completed the line draft for some parts, he would pass them to Rufus to do the outlining.
Rufus did the same. As soon as there were outlines on a few grids, he would immediately pass them to Sally and Joe.
Overall, it seemed that their team still contained too few people. They only had five but the other teams had at least ten people.
In terms of the number of people, they were only half of the other teams.
Fortunately, Emily's script was finished quickly and Aryan was also fast in doing the line drafts.
Even though there were only five in their team, their progress was not slower than others.
After Emily finished the script, she helped Aryan to do the line drafts.
At noon, one still could see Aryan doing the line draft seriously.
The heart warmed. This was a scene that could make someone feel touched to cry.
How important was trust among each other?
She believed he would join back while he believed she would not find someone else to replace him.
If anything happened in the meantime or if one of them did not trust the other, the team would be in jeopardy in this competition.
However, they had all made it. They were strongly determined to form a team with each other!
"Emily, have some food first." Lois handed the fast food box to her.
"Okay." Emily held the fast food box and inadvertently saw the man sitting at the bottom seat.
He was already sitting at the meal table, facing the competition zone.
When Emily looked up, she felt he was gazing at her.
Her heart raced and when she tried to look at him again, she found out that Young Master Hunter's gaze was not on her, and she did not know which team he was staring at.
She heaved a sigh of relief and lowered her head to eat, no longer thinking about this matter.
A five-hour competition was indeed boring.
The speed of finishing did not matter today and no participant was allowed to leave earlier. Therefore, how to fully utilize the five hours given would become a challenge for all participants.
The script that was too simple would cause a team to finish much earlier and this would cause the team to have a less competitive advantage.
The script that was too complicated might cause a team unable to finish before the time stated and this would cause the points of the team to be deducted.
In short, every competition was very difficult. However, for a competent team, the more difficult the competition was, the more excited they would be.
The competition today was not hard to guess the winner.
As Aryan had joined back, all the members of the September Drawing Club were
in extremely high spirits.
All of them were doing their best.
When the drawings done by their team were displayed on the big screen, the members of the audience were completely intrigued and fascinated.
The style, the plot and the smooth shot were simply incomparably beautiful!
"This can't be considered comics anymore, it clearly reaches the level of animation."
"No, it's still slightly not good enough to be considered animation."
"Of course, each of the illustrations of the animation requires a few days to be completed."
"But for comics, this is bound to be a top-notch drawing style."
...Even the member of Nina's team was stunned when the mate turned back to have a look at it, "How can it be...so perfect!"
Nina's hand trembled and she held the paintbrush tightly.
The paintbrush was trembling slightly in her hand, as if it would be crushed at any moment!
She did not need to turn and look back at all!
She knew how good Emily's talent in writing a script was since the first day of the competition.
She knew better than anyone else about how good Raphael's talent in line draft
was.
The hateful girl by the name of Sally who was in charge of colouring was also transcendent in colouring.
They were indeed an impeccable team! She knew it!
"What are you looking at? Quickly do your task!" The assistant glared at the team member in fury.
The team member hurriedly turned back and continued to do the outlining, not daring to take another glance again.
However, the drawings that were seen through the glance had been completely etched in the deepest part of the memory and could never be forgotten again.
When the members of other teams saw it, they instantly became just like withered flowers.
Sometimes, the loss of a team in a competition might not necessarily due to the outstanding talent of the opponent, but the negative mind set of the team members.
It was clear that the September Drawing Club had absolutely defeated the other teams mentally this time!
Five hours later, the drawings were sealed.noveldrama
After another 30 minutes, the host announced the results of the competition.
The third place, the Painting Club of Skyler University.
The second place, Nina's Studio.
The first place, deservedly, the September Drawing Club.
Knowing that there was an award ceremony, those audiences who had left came back now.
The members of the audience gave a big round of applause continuously.
The host invited the guests to give the awards. The award of the third place was given by the leader of Bentson University while the award of the second place was given by the leader of Skyler University.
Nina did not go on stage to receive the award. For her team, second place was clearly a shame.
She never got the second place in this kind of inter-school competition, never! However, Nina was sitting in the lounge area and was still waiting.
This was because there were two very important slots left.
The Sharp Group intended to choose a team for collaboration. As of now, the September Drawing Club had the highest possibility to be chosen by the Sharp Group.
But, no one could guarantee that Young Master Henry might want to choose others in his mind.
Emily looked so ugly. It was possible that Young Master Henry did not like her and refused to choose her team.
If the Sharp Group really did choose the September Drawing Club, a legendary
slot was still available in which the slot would be for the team chosen by Jackson
Group.
The news that Jackson Group was going to start an animation production company was not an empty rumour.
Nina had already asked someone to inquire about it. Indeed, Jackson Group had started to make a move.
There was only one September Drawing Club. After it was chosen by the Sharp Group, Jackson Group would not be able to choose it again.
If Jackson Group really wanted to choose a team, then Nina's Studio would have
a very high chance!
Flora was of the same mind.
Although she was not in the top three, Young Master Hunter might still choose her since she was so beautiful.
She was the campus belle of her department and she was even more gorgeous than Nina, so did she need to worry?
For a man who wanted to choose a woman, the talent was not the first consideration but the looks and body shape were the most crucial factors, right?
"Congratulations." Henry, as the VIP, was asked to personally give the award to the September Drawing Club.
Emily received the trophy from him and held it aloft with her teammates. Under the stage, photos were taken and the live broadcast was on-going. The atmosphere was bustling with noise and excitement.
Henry received the mike from the host's hand and smiled at Emily, "We, the Sharp Group, have decided to choose the September Drawing Club as our partner to form a new animation production company, I wonder if the September Drawing Club is willing to accept this?"
Emily and her mates felt a jolt of excitement.
But surprisingly, another tall figure suddenly walked out of the judges' table.
Another mike was taken by him at a certain moment, "We, Jackson Group are also planning to form a new animation production company next month. We hope that the September Drawing Club will join us as shareholders."
There was a series of wow from the members of the audience.
This was...a blatant attempt to scramble for someone!
The Sharp Group vs. Jackson Group, Young Master Henry vs. Young Master
Hunter, so cool!
Chapter 210 Go Home and Shut the Door before Talking About It
The Sharp Group and Jackson Group scrambled for the same team.
Young Master Henry and Young Master Hunter were standing in front of Emily at the same time.
Two men and one ugly woman who had freckles all over her face...
The scene was so bizarre that someone could hardly breathe!
The people on the award stage were all flabbergasted. Emily was dumbstruck too.
All the members of the September Drawing Club were completely astonished.
The members of the other painting clubs were also stunned.
They had been waiting for Jackson Group to choose another one after the Sharp Group's turn.
However, nobody expected that both the Sharp Group and Jackson Group would choose the September Drawing Club.
Although Young Master Henry and Young Master Hunter did not go way back, both the Sharp family and the Jackson family were the greatest and most powerful families in Bentson City.
What they did were big global businesses.
For them, an animation production company had almost no effect on the revenue of the entire family group.
But, they utilized their identity as the core people of the powerful families to publicly scramble for an obscure and small painting club.
It did not make sense, it was simply not possible!
Nina gritted her teeth. Her silver teeth were almost crushed!
She did not count on the Sharp Group anymore. However, how could elder brother also be so reckless that he played favouritism and committed irregularities for his fiancée!
Was the rumour from the people of the Jackson family which stated that Young Master Hunter liked Miss Wendy but not his fiancée, Miss Emily false?
Why would he scramble for this ugly monster in front of so many people!
By right, she was the one who was the relative of the Jackson family, who did Emily think she was? Was it worthy for him to do this for the woman who would soon be abandoned?
As Flora did not know the relationship between Emily and Hunter, she was so angry that her blood boiled and blew her top when she saw the two superbly handsome men were publicly scrambling for Emily's...team.
If she had known it earlier, she would have taken action to deal with this damn woman!
But their trick was just too unpredictable!
Emily even let Aryan pretend to quit the team so that Flora would focus all her attention on Nina.
Now, having an injured leg, she had completely destroyed her relationship with Nina. Indeed, the loss outweighed the gain!
Emily was really a treacherous woman, why she did not die yet?
Emily knew that right now, no matter it was the members of the audience down below or the netizens watching the live broadcast, approximately half of them were all asking the same question.
That was, why did not she, Emily, die yet?
She felt helpless too. Who would have expected that Young Master Hunter would have such an action?
Sally and Lois held each other's hands and their hands were almost crushed.
Nervous, they were indeed nervous because they did not know that they would suddenly be in great demand.
And because they did now know who should they choose.
And also because they knew that whoever they chose, they would definitely offend the one that was not chosen.
Henry stared at Hunter. His lips curled into a pleasant smile.
"Young Master Hunter, why do you suddenly think of doing animation too?"
"Since the Sharp Group also wants to do it, it means this industry is very marketable in Bentson City in the future."
Hunter's cold eyes looked calm and his words seemed to mean business was business.
"Jackson Group has always been interested to start the business with market value and will definitely have better accomplishments than others."
He looked at Emily. His eyes were filled with unquestionable steadfastness. "Miss Emily, we are very sincere to collaborate with the September Drawing Club, how do you feel about this?"
He said, if he really did it, he would have better accomplishments than anyone else!
This meant that Jackson Group would definitely focus on investing in this project in the future. This was absolutely a golden opportunity that everyone craved for.
Said yes! Said yes! Must say yes!
Sally Lois, Joe and Rufus were all tingling with excitement and nervousness as well!
If Emily said yes, they would get rapid promotion in life!
Unexpectedly, Emily still chose to think about it and looked at Henry first, "Since it
is up to me, can I ask some questions first?"
Henry waved his hand which indicated that she could simply ask whatever she wanted.
Emily asked seriously, "Young Master Henry, may I know under what circumstances did you decide to do investment in an animation production company?"
Henry thought about it before saying, "In the beginning, I just wanted to get close to a girl."
The members of the audience made the uproar. Who was the girl that was so lucky in which Young Master Henry had to do all this just to get close to her?
Emily did not utter a word but her eyes flickered slightly.
This person would not suddenly join the jury panel and became the co-organizer just to get close to her, right?
Henry added, "Later, I asked my assistant to study the market carefully and we found that there were signs of a rise in domestic comics in the past two years."
"In the next two years, I believe this industry will have prospects."
Emily nodded and turned to look at Hunter, "I wonder under what kind of circumstances Young Master Hunter decided to start an animation business?"
Hunter did not speak and refused to answer.
The only shine in Emily's eyes dimmed.
She calmly asked, "I have received news that there is a girl who wants to do animation, so, Young Master Hunter decides to allocate funds for her to do it, right?"
It seemed like there was no difference between Young Master Henry and Young
Master Hunter as the reason they did this was due to a girl.
To others, there was no difference.
But to Emily, there was a huge difference.
Hunter pursed his lips and his gaze was locked straight at her face.
She was always so stubborn. Did not she have the will to slightly obey him even she was in front of so many people?
He said indifferently, "No matter what the reason is, since I've decided to do it, I'll
be the top in the Bentson City, as long as you..."
"So, the news I received is true?"
Oh, she really did not know why she still expected something impossible.
The company was set up for Wendy, but now he wanted to collaborate with her.
As long as Wendy was there, her team would not have a peaceful time. Rather than having a malicious competition with Wendy and unable to live peacefully, it was better for her to find a company that she could focus to work wholeheartedly.
She smiled at Hunter, turned to look at Henry and reached out her hand, "Young Master Henry, may we have good cooperation in the future!"
Henry reached out his hand and shook hands with her, "Have good cooperation!"
All the members of the audience were in silence.
Not daring to speak, not even daring to breathe.
Young Master Hunter was rejected on the spot!noveldrama
This might be the first time in Young Master Hunter's life that he was totally rejected by someone!
And this happened in front of so many people, and it was even during the live broadcast.
All the people carrying the cameras now did not dare to point the cameras at Young Master Hunter.
Nobody wanted to die! Nobody wanted their company to go bankrupt the next
day!
Nobody, moreover, wanted to be completely washed up in Bentson City!
He was Young Master Hunter! Who dared to laugh at him? Who dared not give a
face to him?
Emily withdrew her hand from Henry's hand and smiled at Hunter.
"Thank you for your generosity, Young Master Hunter. Our painting club perhaps
has some difference in ideas with your animation production company that is going to be set up."
"Alright." Hunter who was a very proud person surprisingly accepted this.
Even Emily did not expect this. She was still thinking of a way that would not embarrass Hunter.
However, what kind of person was Hunter? He never needed anyone to help him refrain from embarrassment.
He would always have his own way.
"I will listen to you regarding the job matter. But for private matter, let's go home
and I will shut the door before talking about it with you."
