The Strongest Warrior’s Revenge

Ian slowly unrolled the scroll.

Joshua looked on in anticipation. He had only seen one of Darian’s paintings and had

never seen anything else.

The scroll opened, and a familiar painting appeared in front of them.

Joshua was stunned. The Phil family and the others immediately fell silent, their eyes filled

with shock.

Lucia could not help but say loudly, “Isn’t this Grandpa’s painting?”

After her reminder, some of the Phil family who did not remember and only felt that the

painting looked familiar all remembered.

Wasn’t this the painting that was hung in Joshua’s study?

Joshua loved this painting the most. He often opened it to admire and copy it. Almost all of

the Phil family had seen this painting before.

Walton turned his gaze and suddenly became excited. He shouted, “Ian gave a fake for

Dad!”

A fake?

Not only were the Phil family present but there were also esteemed guests. When they

heard that it was a fake, they were all shocked.

Ian was a person of great presence, and those who casually deceived him would not have

a good outcome. After all, he was the head of the Walter family. However, someone

actually gave him a fake as a gift for his grandfather.

If word got out, it would be too embarrassing.

For a time, the way everyone looked at Ian changed.

Orson stepped forward, pretending to be kind-hearted, and attempted to smooth things

over. “This painting looks very realistic and the fakery is very brilliant. It’s quite normal for

him to not realize immediately that it’s

a fake. Morcover, lan has always been in Fesmuowana and doesn’t know anything about

traditional art.”

“Orson, you’re wrong.” Walton was suppressing his anger. He was very dissatisfied with

Ian. Now that he had seized the opportunity, he would not let it go so easily.

“Even if lan is not knowledgeable about traditional artworks, don’t the people around him

know better? He is the head of the Walter family, yet he is fooled with a fake. I think he

simply isn’t being careful.”

After Walton finished speaking, he looked at the silent Joshua. “Dad, look. This is what your

beloved grandson has done. He doesn’t care about your birthday gift at all. He knows that

you like paintings, but he still used a fake to fool you.”

“Enough!” Joshua said in a low voice. His tone was displeased. “Stop talking.” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“Hmph!” Walton was dissatisfied. “You’re still protecting him?”

“Walton.” Orson pretended to scold Walton. “Stop talking. Ian didn’t do it on purpose. If he

knew about the fake, why would he send it over?”

Walton sneered. “I didn’t say that he did it on purpose. I’m just unhappy with his attitude.

Dad, your birthday is such an important event, but he doesn’t care at all.

“If he paid more attention, he wouldn’t have sent a fake over.”

“That’s enough.” Orson frowned and turned to Ian. He said in an elder’s tone, “Ian, where

did you get this painting? You were cheated.”

No matter what the crowd said, Ian remained calm and did not say

anything.

Now, when Ian heard Orson’s question, he looked up.

Ian’s eyes were dark and calm, like a deep pool, carrying an unfathomable

coldness.

“Who said that this painting is fake?” Ian said calmly. “Are you experts?

III.

Why are you so sure that this painting is fake?”

Orson sneered in his heart. ‘How could he be so stubborn? Hmph, the more stubborn he is,

the happier I become. After all, he’s the one who will

be embarrassed in the end.

At the thought of this, Orson’s tone became even more earnest. “Ian, I know you can’t

accept the truth for a moment. This fake is very superb. It’s normal that you don’t believe

it.

“However, there are so many of us. It’s impossible for us to lie to you. The most important

thing now is to find the person who lied to you, not to be stubborn and refuse to admit it.”

Speaking of this, Orson sighed to everyone. “The tricks of these swindlers are too high. If

we had not seen this painting before, we might really have

been deceived.”

Of everyone present, only Orson had the most words. Ian could basically confirm who was

behind this.

Ian curled his lips and asked again, “Why do you insist that it’s fake? Don’t we need to

appraise it?”
