Kaki asked, “These works are…?”

Lynn replied calmly, “Most of them are gifts from people. I think they’re useless, so I just put them here.”

Lynn’s words were too shocking.

Many people in the live broadcast room were stunned.

Some netizens who had studied classical paintings commented:

“I saw a painting that looks very similar to the ‘Dream of the Fugitive’ by the famous medieval artist, Daphne. It’s said to have disappeared from the public’s eye for a hundred years, but I see a painting in Lynn’s house that looks very similar. I wonder if it’s real?”

“There’s another painting here known as ‘The King’. Isn’t this the favorite painting of our two past presidents? It’s said to have been given to a mysterious friend. Could that person be this Lynn?”

“No way. He just casually waved his hand and two world-famous paintings appeared?”

“I just checked the value of those paintings. ‘Dream of the Fugitive’ and ‘The King’ are estimated to be worth at least hundreds of millions of dollars.”

“Hundreds of millions!”

“Are there any more experts? Let’s see if there are any other famous paintings there.”

Someone shouted in a hurry. 

They were all anxious to watch the show.

Of course, there were also some who were more rational.

“It’s hard to say if this is an authentic painting. It might just be a high-quality imitation painting.”

The words of a netizen made the others calm down.

That was right.

Whether it was ‘Dream of the Fugitive’ or ‘The King’, they were both famous paintings that had disappeared for almost 100 years. How could they appear in a village and town so casually?

“It would be great if there were experts who could appraise them.”

“Yeah, it makes my heart itch. I really want to know if it’s an authentic painting.”

…

On the program team’s side, each and every single one of them was engrossed with the paintings.

Even though the guests were all top-notch figures, it did not mean that they were people who could casually place several famous paintings in their homes.

“I really like this painting a little too much.”

Master Bei was standing in front of a painting at that moment.

It was a painting of an expedition in the wild.

The strokes in the painting sketched out a thrilling scene in the wild jungle.

A ferocious tiger was crouching in a bush, glaring at the front. In front of it stood a person holding a dagger with a serious expression. He was ready to deal with the attack from the tiger.

The artist’s expression of hunting a tiger, as well as the explorer’s panicked but forced state of mind to remain calm, was vivid and lifelike.

It made people feel as if they were inside the painting.

“Director, can I buy this painting from Senior Lynn?”

The more Master Bei looked at it, the more he liked it. He looked at Kaki and could not help but ask.

Every show had some requirements, and this program was no exception.

According to the rules, the guests could not do anything beyond the show itself.

The private purchase of the owner’s paintings was obviously unrelated to the show itself.

Director Kaki thought for a moment before whispering into Master Bei’s ear. He said, “This… you have to ask Senior Lynn if he is willing to sell it to you.”

“Whether these paintings are real or fake is still unknown. If the other party is asking for too much, I’m afraid you won’t be able to handle it. My suggestion is that it would be best if there are experts and lawyers present.”

Master Bei had also thought of the same thing.

However, what he liked was the painting itself and not the so-called value behind it.

In other words, he did not care whether it was real or fake.

However, if the other party was asking for too much, it would make him feel very embarrassed.

“Senior Lynn, I really like your painting of that man and tiger. I wonder if you’re willing to part with it and sell it to me? I can buy it at a high price.”

Master Bei walked over to Lynn. He scratched his short hair and proceeded to ask him with some embarrassment.

Although he really wanted to buy it, his action can be considered stealing the love of others.

Lynn took another sip of tea and put his teacup down. He then said calmly, “It’s just a lousy painting. What’s there to buy? I’ll give it to you if you like.”

To him, these paintings were nothing at all.

Over the years, he had seen everything, no matter how expensive they were. 

He had even owned it before.

“Really?”

Master Bei’s face was full of disbelief.

He was even prepared to pay a huge price.

However, Lynn said that he would give it to him.

Holy sh*t!

The audience in the live broadcast room was also stunned.

They had also seen the painting of the man and the tiger in front of the camera for a while.

The shape and psychology of the man and tiger were vivid and lifelike, making them feel like they were there.

Even if it was not the work of a famous artist or even if it was just a fake, its value was definitely not low.

However, it was actually given to someone else so casually.

How generous!

The other people all looked at them with excitement.

Even the other guests were envious and jealous.

After seeing how magnanimous Lynn was, Megan began to have some thoughts of her own. 

She walked up to Lynn with a seductive dance step and said in a low voice, “I also took a fancy to a painting. Can Senior Lynn give it away as a gift too?”

As she spoke, Megan’s seductive fingers began to slide down Lynn’s shoulder.

Finally, they stopped in front of his chest.

Megan.

She became a model at the age of 13 and had won a modeling award during that time.

Within two years, she had managed to participate in a big-screen production. It was then when she officially entered the entertainment circle.

She had her own ways to socialize in the circle.

She thought that it would not be a problem to coax an old man into giving her a painting.

Moreover, the old man had previously given a painting to Master Bei.

How could she think that her methods and charm would be inferior to Master Bei’s?

After seeing through Megan’s actions, the other guests could not stand it anymore.

Although the paintings were not necessarily authentic masterpieces, the worst of them were still high-level imitations, and their artistic value was still there.

Plus, they liked it very much.

If Lynn could give them each a painting, why would they not be happy about it?

So, they walked over to Lynn and asked him to treat them all equally and give them a painting as well.

“Senior, since you’ve given a painting to Master Bei and you’re prepared to give one to Megan as well, we can’t be left out, right?” said the star player, Jaime as he walked over.

He had a fiery and simple personality, and his words were even more direct.

In his opinion, Megan had used a honey trap, so she was definitely getting a painting. Naturally, he and the others could not back down.

After seeing that Lynn did not reply to him, Jaime felt a little unhappy, and his tone became a little impolite.

He said, “It’s a live broadcast now. It’s not good for you to treat the two of them so differently. Moreover, your paintings are all fake, and they’re not worth much. Isn’t it good to exchange them for a good reputation?”

What Jaime said was a matter of course.

It seemed that it was Lynn’s fault if he did not give them the paintings.

“This Jaime is too much.”

“That’s right. Why should he be so moral as to rob an old man?”

“Giving you the paintings is a favor. It’s reasonable for him to not give them to you.”

“That’s right. Even if they’re not real, why should he give them to you?”
