No Way Back (Jane and Hugh) by Anna Mac novel Chapter 178

Chapter 178
There was only one person who was different.
It was Madelyn.
She was watching the live broadcast on her computer in her room.
Meridonia and Crucsia were in different time zones.
It was daytime in Meridonia.
However, it was night in Crucsia.
Madelyn could no longer control the joy on her face.
She smiled this almost evil grin.
Her face was contorted.
Over the five days, she had received so much money from Chester.
Madelyn had already set everything up.
They were just waiting for this competition to begin!
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her to wait for Jane to suffer a fate worse than death and fall into the abyss.
Madelyn took out her phone and dialed a number.
“It’s me. You can start now.”
“Yes!”
After hanging up, Madelyn threw her phone on the table and even leisurely picked up her snacks to eat.
He looked at Jane, who was in the limelight in front of the camera.
“Jane, oh Jane, remember your smile now.”
“Later I’m going to make it look uglier than a crying face!”
There were a total of 13 countries ***in the International Students Drawing Competition.
After introducing the contestants’ identities, the judges showed up.
This year’s International Students Drawing Competition did not use an online voting method like the one in Crucsia. The judges would be giving their votes.
There were a total of five judges.
Every one of them had a pivotal position in the international painting circle.
One after another, the contestants were introduced until the appearance of that person!
It was Marcus!
He was known as a super painting genius that was rarely seen in the world in a hundred years!
He was the treasure of the art festivall
He was the youngest person in history to win the Picasso Competition!
He got the championship twice in a row.
His talent made all the rules appear dispensable.
Everyone submitted to the grotesqueness of his paintings!
T
Everyone did not hesitate to believe that Marcus could become the second Picasso and Van Gogh!
With his appearance, it was obvious that the mood of the entire venue had soared!
Even Jane, who was backstage, could not help but take a few more glances.
This legendary Marcus was so famous that even Jane had heard of it many times.
It was rumored that this person was elusive. No one even knew which country was from or what he looked like.
However, with Jane’s ability, it was not difficult to find out Marcus’s Identity.
That said, Jane was not very interested in this person.
It was said that Marcus would appear in the venue in true colors.
Just as Jane was thinking, Marcus appeared!
He got global attention!
Shockingly, Marcus clearly looked like a Crucsian.
He was about 6 feet 2 inches tall, with soft, slightly long curly hair and brown eyes.
He was very handsome.
He was also a bit androgynous.
The most eye-catching thing was there was an Equinox Flower tattooed on his right eyebrow.
It left a deep impression on people at first glance.
One would never forget it after taking a look.
Jane suddenly felt a sense of familiarity when she first saw him.
She seemed to have seen Marcus somewhere before…
It was impossible for Jane to forget such a face.
Just the tattooed flower on his eyebrow was enough to be unforgettable.
“Could it be that the aura of him makes him look like someone?” she thought.
“Who the ****is it?”
Jane was still racking her brains.
The five judges were already seated at the judges’ seats.
Then the competition began.
Every contestant brought their own work onto the stage. They were all the best in their countries.
The works were for the judges to judge. Then they would ask questions and respond.
After each contestant’s work was displayed, the judges would have an hour to think, discuss, and grade.
In the end, the contestant with the highest total score would be the champion of this International Students Drawing Competition!
The last to present the work was Jane, who represented Crucsia.
Jane brought her work “Angels” onto the stage.
The flashlights were focused on Jane.
At that moment, Jane’s body seemed to be covered in a layer of holy light.
As long as Jane was around, all the scenery would be reduced to a foil.
This woman had such a strange magic power.
Regardless of whether they liked Jane or hated Jane, they could not help but focus their attention on Jane.
Some people were destined to be dazzling and illuminate the world, becoming rulers.
Jane was obviously such a person.
Marcus looked at Jane, and her eyes suddenly rippled.
Originally, he was calm and seemed distracted. It was rare for him to look serious.
The judges all noticed Marcus’s movement.
They all turned to look at Jane.
This woman from Crucsia was indeed very beautiful.
They wondered if he had taken a fancy to her.
On second thought, they denied it.
One of the female judges rolled her eyes, her eyes flickering with jealousy.
It was well concealed.
Jane’s work and the original on the drawing board were both projected on the big screen. The moment this work appeared, it instantly caused a commotion
Everyone was shocked by the incomparably surging vitality emanating from Jane’s work.
It was like a witch’s incantation, guiding the souls of the audience into the peaceful bamboo forest world in the painting!
Even a layman could clearly feel it…
Jane’s work was definitely the most eye-catching among the 13 contestants ***today!
There was no exception.
The other contestants were indeed very capable to be able to obtain first place in their respective countries and represent their countries in this World Series.
Every painting had a different style and was powerful.
However, compared to Jane, their works could only be described as inferior.
It was like the boundary between “extraordinary” and “mediocre”.
There was no bridging the gaps.
It was simply impossible.
Just the powerful vitality in this painting was intangibly pulling in souls and telling them something.
It was something that the paintings of the other twelve contestants would never be able to come close to. The judges were all silent.
Facing such a painting, their questions would appear useless.
Or rather, from the moment Jane painting’s was presented, she was already the champion.
Even big shots like them, who were famous in the international painting circle, could have such thoughts.
From this, it could be seen how heavily gifted this girl from Crucsia was!
As long as she embarked on the path of painting, she would sooner or later become a milestone in the history of painting!
She would walk side by side with them on the international stage!
Mr. Lance saw this scene below the stage and smiled in satisfaction.
He knew that she’d definitely win.
He knew that this world championship trophy would definitely belong to Jane!
She would bring glory to the country!
“Jane, did you complete this painting alone?”
A sarcastic voice with a strong Meridonian accent sounded
