Chapter 42 Gathering (3)

Just when she was about to leave, Mark smiled calmly and said with scornful eyes, "It looks like Brother Liam is not outstanding in significance. Are you afraid that Eliza will ditch you? As a man, you can't be led by the nose."

These words have a lot of meaning, and more importantly, these words labelled Liam as a little white rice. But for such an inconsequential trivial person, Liam didn't bother to mind about him at all.

However, that doesn't mean that Eliza was okay with that. She was so angry that she was about to turn around and scold him but Liam stopped her, rubbed her on the shoulder, and motioned her not to fuss about it.

Likewise, Liam turned to look at Mark, who was staring at them with a harmless smile on his face, "Since you want to discuss with me, then lead the way."

"Haha, Brother Liam is invigorating, please." Mark succeeded in his scheme, smirked, and led Liam and Eliza to the most dense area of the art exposition.

At the same time, his heart began to cool down.

'Eliza, I will let you know that the man you chose is not even as good as an ant in front of me!'

When he came to a crowded place, Mark's escort appeared and mercilessly pushed the surrounding mob away.

What came next was a very simple painting. It was said to be a landscape painting, but there was no mountain or water. It was said that it was not a landscape painting, but there were ducks and two very simple objects.

But two simple things, as if possessing powerful magical powers, make people feel as if they are in a spring meadow, and the spring breeze is blowing in, making them feel more comfortable.

The people around also began to whisper, constantly expressing their views on the paintings.

"I heard that this painting is painted by some ancient artist in his late years, and it is a hidden painting that has not been recorded."

"Yeah! It must cost at least a few million dollars."

"It can't be, right?"

When they reached the painting, people were talking about the painting and presenting their opinion about it.

Mark gestured to someone and whispered something in his ears.

The person left shortly after Mark finished speaking. After that Liam and the company began inspecting the painting and other expositions placed on the railing.

At that time an announcement rang in the room, attracting everyone's attention.

"Hello, Everyone!" A person comes in the middle of the hall trying to attract everyone's attention. When he successfully gained the attention of all the people present in the hall, he continued speaking, "I beg your pardon for interrupting your fun..."

He bowed his head in apology and continued, "we have invited a piano master for today's banquet, but I think the master is running late and couldn't appear on time. So... I will be shameless enough and request if any of the guests present can help us with this problem. We will be very thankful to them!"

He bowed again at the end of his speech.

Liam looked around and found a Steinway piano located on a slightly elevated place in the hall.

It is particularly obvious but most people would think that it is mainly just for decoration.

Eliza, who heard the announcement, turned to look at Liam and asked, "Liam, if I am correct then you also know how to play the piano, right?"

Liam smiled knowingly and said, "I know just a bit from the festivities,"

"Then why don't you go and play the piano?" Eliza asked eagerly to him with her eyes looking expectedly.

"I will if no one comes forward to play~" Liam smiled and replied.

After listening to the announcement, many guests were eager to volunteer.

Especially those young people.

After all, many of the guests are influential people. Even if they will only be acquainted through the piano performance, it may be beneficial for future development.

But many were hesitant since it would be embarrassing if their performance fails.

After all, a lot of people will be watching.

Just when many young people were hesitating, someone suddenly stood up and said, "I would like to give it a try."

Everyone saw a rather handsome man stand up and confidently stepped onto the stage.

Everyone had their eyes focused on this man.

Under such circumstances, the people who will step forward would naturally attract attention.

Liam shook the red wine he had just drank and looked at the person on stage with indifferent eyes.

The person on stage is none other than Mark Zen!

For Mark's volunteering, Liam wasn't a bit surprised. Because he has already heard the previous conversation between Mark and the person, who appeared when they were watching the art exhibition.

After all, Mark's appearance is definitely considered handsome, and his temperament is not so bad.

Liam has successfully ruined Mark's first chance in binding with Eliza. So Mark must be angry and waiting for the chance to get his revenge on him for embarrassing him in front of Eliza and tarnishing his opportunity to be with her.

Which is of course quite not true as Eliza is Liam's aunt, but this has nothing to do with Mark. And his aunt Eliza also doesn't like this guy so he doesn't need to give any clarification.

But for the second chance, for the piano performance, Liam knew Mark wants to humiliate him in front of all the audience.

But he didn't rush early.

He is just waiting for Mark to finish his performance.

If it is the piano performance only, his skills are definitely superb. After all, he has wandered a lot throughout his voyage and gained a stake of abilities, encountered a lot of different kinds of circumstances while concealing his identity and meeting with different kinds of people.

It is like snapping his finger!

[A/N: Boom~ and half of the universe is gone!]

Just go over it and it's done.

Pretty simple like that.
