NOVPUBChapter 1121: 513 Five Tigers_2 Chapter 1121: 513 Five Tigers_2 Catherine Liam wanted to say more: “But…”
The auctioneer interrupted Catherine, hurriedly asking, “Mr.
Gartia, could you please tell us where your friend is now?”
“There are two ‘Green Water Pearls’ in total, known as ‘Green Hills and Clear Waters’.
Their green hue, glowing like the moonlight, is a rarity in this world.
Mr.
Gartia’s pearl must be ‘Clear Water’.
As long as we find your friend, she definitely knows the whereabouts of ‘Green Hills’.
Can you imagine the impact if we are able to gather both ‘Green Hills and Clear Waters’?” The excitement on the auctioneer’s face grew as he spoke.
...
“How lucky we would be to witness the beauty of ‘Green Hills and Clear Waters’.”
Violetta Gartia laughed, “I am sorry, I am also looking for my friend.”
The auctioneer looked disappointed, “Could you provide us with some clues?
We can help you search.”
“Mr.
Liu, someone has given you a treasure, yet you still covet their other valuables.
Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?” Catherine Liam retorted sarcastically.
This exchange was pretty unseemly.
The auctioneer realized that he had been too impulsive, thus apologizing, “Sorry, I was rude.
Thank you, Mr.
Gartia, for the precious gift.
We will definitely treasure it.”
Violetta Gartia didn’t say anything more, he just sat down.
All eyes turned to him.
His handsome features and unique demeanor left a deep impression.
Seraphina Parker couldn’t help saying, “Ms.
Aria is so fortunate.”
Esther smiled without changing her expression, “Have you ever met this Ms.
Aria, sister-in-law?”
Seraphina smiled and glanced at her with disdain.
“She was just lucky to have been born into the Aria family, otherwise…”
Otherwise, what?
Esther understood.
She had never met this Ms.
Aria, but saw Charlotte Aria’s unique qualities and assumed Ms.
Aria would be exceptional.
According to her sister-in-law, it seems she’s just okay?
In a room upstairs at this time, a man froze after hearing a report.
His teacup spilled.
“The South Narnia Pearl?
The Clear Water Pearl has appeared?”
The man’s brow furrowed, “Why is it Violetta Gartia?”
There was indeed a tomb of the princess of South Narnia.
It was located in an oasis in the west of Avalon.
Back then, back then…
The man rubbed his forehead.
This day had finally come.
Kelly Martinez clenched his fist, glared at Violetta Gartia who looked back.
Their eyes met.
Kelly quickly averted his gaze, cursing madly inside.
The auctioneer calmed his excitement and carefully locked the Clear Water Pearl in a box, entrusting it to his most trusted assistant.
Only then did he introduce the highlight of the night.
“Tonight’s third item for auction is Master Katana’s final masterpiece, ‘Five Tigers Descend the Mountain’.”
Cello Cook instinctively straightened up.
The auctioneer carefully unfolded the painting.
Master Katana, hailed as the most talented painter of the last century, had a unique style and sense of humor enriched with profound philosophies.
His paintings were always full of various small animals, from ants and earthworms to birds and beasts, all of which seemed to come to life in his work.
His most renowned works, besides the divine ‘Diagram of Eight Divinatory Symbols with Phoenix’, was this final piece, ‘Five Tigers Descend the Mountain’.
They say to draw a tiger or a dragon you must draw their bones, but in Master Katana’s painting, one could see the bones.
The five fierce tigers, each with a different attitude, fierce, lively, sickly, weak and cruel, were vivid and lifelike.
The oppressive feeling was as if the tigers would leap from the painting and attack, inducing fear in the audience.
“‘Five Tigers Descend the Mountain’ is known as one of Master Katana’s most esteemed works.
Its artistic value is self-evident.
Everyone knows that Master Katana’s paintings are rich in philosophy.
Let’s hear everyone’s thoughts.”
The auctioneer, having obtained the Clear Water Pearl, was in high spirits and his voice involuntarily raised a few notches.
“Each tiger has its own demeanor.
Obviously, they are a family.
The fierce one is the father, the sickly one is the ill mother, the lively one is the pampered daughter, the weak one is the young son and the cruel one is the eldest son trying to play the tough guy, but not quite pulling it off.
He seems like a kid trying to fit into his father’s coat.”
The one speaking was Stella White.
She stood up and continued, “As the saying goes, cattle and sheep herd together, but wild beasts are solitary.
Being the king of beasts, tigers have their pride.
This family of tigers sticks together.
They go hunting together, never abandoning each other.
Even as fierce as tigers are, they have a tender side.”
