Dragon Master novel Maximilian novel Chapter 640

Preston smacked his hand on the table, glared at Maximilian and said angrily, "How dare you say the fan is a replication? That is ridiculous! You'd better read some books before talking nonsense!"

Marcus seemed annoyed, and looked at Maximilian and said, "Listen, just keep silent if you know nothing about it. How can a masterpiece like this be a replication? I beg you to show some respects to me and Victoria’s friend, Maximilian!"

Laura drew Maximilian aside, and said, "Now, go to the kitchen and help the servant. Stop wasting your time like an ignoramus."

Thinking that Maximilian was talking nonsense, she didn't want to leave any unpleasant experience to Preston, who had just offered them a great gift.

Flora was trying to defend Maximilian against injustice, "Auntie Laura, how about we hear Maximilian out first? Things don't seem so simple since he says so."

"That is not necessary. He has been in our house for so many years and I know clearly what kind of man he is. Just look at him: he is over conceited and self-satisfied after his recent success, and I really need to teach him how to be a man of modesty and keep a low-profile." Glaring at Maximilian, Laura thought there was nothing wrong for her to say it.

Pulling a wry face, Maximilian looked at Laura and shook his head helplessly, heading back to his room.

Both Victoria and Flora felt sad to see Maximilian gone like that. However, since Laura and Marcus were holding the same attitude right now, they chose to keep silent and dared not to speak for Maximilian anymore.

Preston smiled and said, "Please, Auntie and Yncle Griffith, and Victoria, sit down and I would like to talk with you something more about the home-warming banquet. Besides, I have brought along with me some fresh organic vegetables and chefs of mine, and I'm wondering if it is possible for me to serve you a dinner?"

"That will be great. Nowadays, it's increasingly hard to see any organic vegetables on the dining table." Marcus said pleasantly.

"The organic vegetables I brought here today are not only healthy but also have a flavor that is more than tasty. Please use my vegetables and my men to present an unforgettable dinner for the guests at the upcoming house-warming banquet."

Laura agreed with the suggestion without any hesitation, "Great! Just bring your things and chefs in. I can't wait to enjoy the perfect dinner!"

Since both her mom and dad were on Preston’s side, Victoria had no choice but to shut her mouth and drink her tea in silence.

When no one's attention was on her, Flora chose to slip away and headed to Maximilian’s room.

She found Maximilian was preparing something big with a art paper stretched out in front of him. "What are you doing, bro Maximilian?" Flora asked with confusion.

Being aware that Flora was in, Maximilian said, "Good to have you here now. Come and help me grind the ink, and I'm planning to prove that the painting is a replication.”

"What? But how? We may need an examiner here to help you."

"You know what, those examiners are shit. They can tell nothing but that the fan is the authentic work of Pa-Ta Shan-Jen."

Flora was dumbed, and then asked in a slow voice, "Which means it is an authentic work, isn't it?"

"Well, to tell you the truth, the fan was something I played with long before. The framework came from an old fan and the painting was something I copied according to the work of Pa-Ta Shan-Jen. As for the red jade, well, it was something attached to the fan afterwards." Maximilian said, finishing up his preparation for painting and getting ready to do something.

Hearing all these, Flora felt incredible and looked at Maximilian with weird eyes, "Well, no mean to offend, but Maximilian, all the things you have just told me are like a story, you know, kind of ridiculous."
