After seeing Ye Chen's painting clearly, the entire room immediately fell into absolute silence.
At this moment, their eyes were all drawn to Ye Chen's painting.
It's so beautiful.
If Jessica's painting was considered excellent, then Ye Chen's painting is top-notch, even a masterpiece!
Caroline's brother looked at Ye Chen with great surprise.
My goodness, is Mr. Ye's oil painting skill really that high?!
It was as if the ordinary person he had always thought of was actually a peerless master; it was impossible not to be shocked.
Of course, along with the shock, a great sense of joy also welled up in Caroline's brother's heart.
Mr. Ye's painting is definitely better than Jessica's. This time, they've won!
"Wow, sister, you and brother-in-law are so in sync! You draw him, and he draws you. What an amazing understanding!"
Su Ling'er was filled with emotion.
With such perfect understanding, it would be strange if my sister and brother-in-law weren't together.
Upon hearing Su Ling'er's words, Ye Chen also looked towards Su Ning Shuang.
Ye Chen and Su Ningshuang's eyes met and intertwined.
At that moment, Su Ningshuang smiled, a smile that was exceptionally happy.
Jessica was relatively close to Ye Chen, and when she saw Ye Chen's painting clearly, she instantly began to doubt herself.
Is this Ye Chen a student at the Royal Academy of Arts in England, or is it her?
Her worldview is somewhat collapsing.
It's unbelievable that Ye Chen is actually a top-level oil painting master.
He was so young.
As for Cedric, the arrogance and smugness on his face instantly froze.
Oh no.
That's terrible.
The people who had just become servants seemed to have changed from Ye Chen and the others to themselves and Jessica.
If things really turn out like that, not only will he be unable to explain himself to his family, but he'll also likely face serious consequences with Jessica's family.
After all, he was the one who invited Jessica and guaranteed that nothing unexpected would happen, yet Jessica ended up becoming someone else's servant.
Their family will definitely hold a grudge against them.
"It's just so-so, I think 40 points is about right."
"40 points is too much. I think 38.8 points is enough."
"It just looks intimidating, but the skill level is probably not that great. I'd give it a maximum of 40 points."
Cedric's companions started talking badly about Ye Chen.
While they were discussing, the three oil painting masters widened their eyes and began to carefully study Ye Chen's painting.
"It's hard to imagine that such a flawless work was created by a twenty-year-old."
"I give it a perfect score, 50 points!!!"
"I'm ashamed to say that even my best work can't compare to it. I'd still give it full marks, 50 points."
"50 points? To be honest, giving this painting 50 points is an insult to it. I'd give it 100 points!!!"
The three masters spoke up, and the last one even gave Ye Chen a score 100 points higher than the maximum.
Regardless, Ye Chen's side won this time, and won decisively.
"Shouldn't you two come over here and tidy up the owner's easel?"
Ye Chen looked at Cedric and Jessica.
Weren't these two people very confident and arrogant before?
What about now?
"Hmph, I refuse to accept this! I refuse to accept this!!!"
Cedric stood up and shouted that he was not convinced.
"We've won two out of three!!!"
"Oil painting is an artistic thing, not suitable for us. As men, we shouldn't compete in such artistic things, but in things that are braver and can better demonstrate our strength."
"I want to have a second match with you, a match with only the two of us!"
"The loser must serve the winner for ten years!!!"
“If I lose, I’ll add another ten years, making you a servant for thirteen years. If you lose, Jessica will be exempt from being a servant; she only needs to be my servant for three years.”
"If you win, for the next thirteen years, whatever you command, I will immediately carry it out. The strength of the Ragren family will absolutely satisfy you!!!"
Cedric was genuinely unhappy about losing the oil painting competition.
He wanted to renegotiate with Ye Chen, so he raised the stakes and excluded Jessica from the competition!
This time, it's just him and Ye Chen competing, without letting Caroline's brother or any other outsiders participate!
He wanted to have a man-to-man showdown with Ye Chen.
In order to do so, he even added "ten years" to the timeframe.
When Ye Chen first heard Cedric say that, he was unwilling to agree.
But when he glanced at it, he found that the game challenge was not completed, which surprised Ye Chen.
Ye Chen analyzed it carefully and found that the challenge had one requirement: to make Cedric completely convinced.
Cedric isn't truly convinced yet, so the challenge isn't over.
"Okay, best two out of three is fine, but what if someone is still not satisfied with best two out of three?"
Ye Chen asked.
In order to complete the challenge, Ye Chen agreed to Cedric's best-of-three match. He had already won one match, so winning one more would be enough.
But what if Cedric is still not satisfied in the next game?
“I’ll record a video right now, you can save it. If I lose the next round and refuse to admit defeat, you can immediately post the video online and make me lose face.”
For these great noble families, family honor is above all else.
If Cedric goes back on his word after the video is posted online, he will bring shame to his family.
At that time, not only Ye Chen, but his family itself will not let Cedric off the hook.
After he finished speaking, Cedric immediately recorded a video and had everyone present witness it.
The people present were also from various noble families, so they were of high enough importance.
Ye Chen accepted the video.
"Alright, what do you want to compete in?"
"What are we competing in? We'll duel and hunt!!!"
Suddenly, Cedric made a startling statement.
Hunting is understandable to most people, as it is a popular pastime among many nobles. There are also many private hunting grounds near cities, providing hunting opportunities for local wealthy individuals.
But a duel is different.
A duel is no small matter; it's a matter of life and death. How can we possibly compete like this?!
Everyone was immediately startled by Cedric's words.
Is the duel Cedric mentioned the same duel they've been imagining?!
That kid couldn't possibly have that kind of guts!
