Chapter 25 Another Surprise
“As you can see, this painting is a corrected version of the original Eagle on a Tree,” said the auctioneer. “That’s because the red mark in the earlier piece was a mistake. Not wishing to be so half–hearted in his work, Mr. Emerentius painted a new one.”
The bidders felt much more at ease upon hearing that explanation.
“See, I told you. Eastfield Auctions has a strong sense of integrity and doesn’t need to resort to gimmicks.”
“You know, I did notice that the red mark in the other painting seemed somewhat out of place. Sure enough, it wasn’t Mr. Emerentius‘ original intention to have it there.”
“Mr. Emerentius is such a responsible person. To make us fans happy, he deliberately painted a whole new version. I want to stan him for life!”
“I totally agree! He’s my idol!”
Emrys could not help thinking there was no need for such strong sentiments.
Yelena flung her arms around his neck and exclaimed excitedly, “I was right, Rys! Hurry up and tell me I’m awesome!”
He chuckled. “You’re really awesome.”
However, the expressions of some people in the last row were a stark contrast to the rest of the crowd’s. They were a sight to behold, especially Rowan’s. His face looked as black as thunder.
To think I went on a whole spiel about my analysis of the painting the other night. Even Mr. Haberle praised me for being able to read Mr. Emerentius‘ mind! I never thought it’d come back and slap me in the face.
In the end, the newer version of Eagle on a Tree was purchased for eight million by a wealthy businessman from Summerbank to add to his collection.
Emrys finally believed that he was a one–in–a–million painting and calligraphy genius. Who knew it was in my blood? It turns out that the artworks I draw so casually are actually so valuable! I wonder how much the old friar has made from them.
Just as everyone thought that the auction was over and was preparing to leave, they heard the auctioneer say, “Please don’t be in a hurry to leave. Actually, we’ve prepared another surprise for you today.”
That piqued their interest immediately. A surprise? Could there really be something even more surprising than a new version of Eagle on a Tree?
They watched as the S**y lady slinked off the stage, only to be replaced by a middle–aged man.
The crowd was shocked, for the middle–aged man was none other than Thomas Sunderland, the

He was personally carrying an auction item as he walked onto the stage, which intrigued the crowd even further. They were curious to see what could be more valuable than Eagle on a Tree.
Everyone erupted into excited shouts and cheers. So, Mr. Emerentius didn’t just do one painting!
The bidders who had been upset over failing to purchase Eagle on a Tree felt their hope rekindling.
