Dragon Master

"Andrew, shut up!" Samuel shouted.

Andrew was furious, his features distorted. Now that Samuel was present, Andrew could say no more.

"Maximilian, go on greeting the guests with Victoria. We can go in and hang around on our own," Samuel said amiably.

Maximilian made an eye gesture to Victoria, signaling her to send Samuel in.

Helping Samuel, Victoria brought Andrew and Darian into the villa.

It was almost noon, and most of the guests had arrived. The people had already taken their seats in the yard, waiting for the housewarming banquet to start.

At 12 at noon, Marcus and Laura expressed their gratitude with ruddy cheeks and then announced the beginning of the banquet.

Exquisite dishes were served one after another. All the guests were enjoying the delicious food.

Marcus passed a pair of chopsticks to Samuel. "How about moving into my house and staying with us for several days, Dad?"

"Well, your place is good indeed, but it’s too far away from my old friends. I prefer to stay in the same place since I enjoy chatting with my old friends. Marcus, you have an amazing son-in-law. Maximilian seized the opportunity and his life changed. You’re so lucky."

"Dad, you’re flattering Maximilian, but he is talented indeed, especially in painting. His painting skill is no worse than the ancient masters’."

Marcus couldn’t resist paying Maximilian a compliment. Actually, Marcus was shocked by his superb painting skill last time.

"Pfft, no worse than the ancient masters? Which ancient master are you referring to? Could it be someone who was unable to paint at all?" Andrew taunted.

Now, Andrew couldn’t hear any compliment to Maximilian at all. Anyone who said something good about Maximilian seemed to be Andrew’s enemy.

Marcus squinted at Andrew and took out an ivory folding fan with a smile. "Andrew, this is a folding fan I just collected. Please have a look for me."
