After Hibernating for 10,000 Years, I Was Exposed on Television

Chapter 5: Invite the Experts

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was different from what Jaime had expected.

He thought that what he had done was justifiable, but he did not expect there to be so many people insulting him in the comments.

It instantly aroused Jaime’s anger.

He subconsciously threw a punch.

The entire painting, as well as the frame, was punched a hole by his fist.

“This…”

Everyone was stunned.

This Jaime had actually smashed someone else’s painting.

Jaime pointed at the painting that had a hole in it and said indifferently, “I didn’t do it on purpose. Why don’t you just tell me how much it is? I’ll compensate you.”

He then added, “I can tell that this isn’t real. I advise you to be honest with your price. Otherwise, it won’t be good for everyone if this gets out of hand.”

When Director Kaki saw the scene, he went over and grabbed Jaime.

He knew a thing or two about Jaime’s temperament. 

Though he did not think the paintings were real, he was still responsible to pay for the damage.

After all, he was in front of a national audience.

Plus, they named the old man a hero for his contributions during the Revolutionary War.

Although Kaki did not like Jaime’s behavior, he was still the director and the person in charge of the program.

He had no choice but to step forward.

He asked Lynn, “Senior Lynn, you can see that Jaime did not do it on purpose. How much do you think this is worth? We will compensate you at the original price.

“This painting is worth one billion dollars. Do you want to compensate me at the original price?”

“What?”

Lynn’s indifferent words immediately shocked all the program team members and the audience.

Jaime frowned and sneered, “One billion? You really dare to say that!”

Lynn’s expression did not change at all. He spoke indifferently, “This painting is worth that price. If you can’t afford to compensate me, that would be great.”

It was as if money did not have much meaning to him anymore.

“If it was really that price, I would definitely pay. But I’m afraid that someone would take the fake as the real one, hehehe…”

In front of the entire nation’s audience, Jaime could not say that he would not pay Lynn.

However, it was also impossible for him to pay the so-called one billion dollars.

“If you insist on asking for one billion dollars, I can sue you for fraud,” said Jaime. 

Jaime did not act on impulse. He decided it was a fake.

He wanted to put the idea of fraud on Lynn first.

Director Kaki saw the conflict between the two men.

He hurried over to Lynn and asked, “Why don’t you go lower and sell it to him at a normal price? After all, we are still broadcasting and there are a lot of viewers watching.”

In Kaki’s opinion, the paintings in Lynn’s house were basically all fakes.

If it was real, it would be incredible.

After all, not many people could decorate their living room into a small art exhibition hall.

Even if there were, it would not appear in such a remote town.

Moreover, Jaime had an influence on the football field, and his uncle was also a member of Parliament.

If there were not any big conflicts, Kaki would not want to offend Jaime so he had to compromise.

He hoped Lynn would state a reasonable and normal price to calm the situation down. 

After all, the comments on the internet were not good.

If people continued to ferment, it might have a bad effect on both sides.

At this time, the little boy who had been cooking in the kitchen walked out.

His innocent and young face turned gloomy.

The little boy walked up to Lynn and glared at the program team.

He said angrily, “You guys are too much. You broke our things, but you still say that they are fake. If you don’t compensate and apologize, the consequences might be very serious for you.”

He knew that every item here was an original work of those famous painters.

He also knew his master’s temper.

It would be fine if he was not angry, but if he was really angry, someone would definitely bleed or even die.

Although he had not followed his master for a very long time, he had seen his master’s moves.

The first time was on a high-seas voyage.

At that time, a group of pirates came to rob them. There were more than a dozen people.

Each person was at least carrying a light machine gun.

However, his master still buried them at sea forever.

Two days later, the pirates’ ships and bodies were found by passing merchant ships. They then reported it to the Marine Police.

The matter was also published in the news.

It caused a sensation in several nearby countries.

Many countries joined forces to investigate the matter, but they were unable to find any clues.

They did not know who did it.

The matter was eventually left unsolved.

The little boy intervened because he was afraid that they would anger his lordship and endanger their lives.

Director Kaki saw that the situation was not good.

He quickly acted as a middleman.

He tried to persuade Jaime while apologizing to Lynn.

After all, there were so many viewers in the country watching.

If it was blown up, it would be very bad for the entire program team and his reputation in the future.

In fact, people would even doubt his ability as a director and as a host.

After Director Kaki persuaded Jaime, he then walked over to Lynn.

“Senior Lynn, this is our fault. We apologize to you. We will definitely compensate you.”

At this time, Master Bei also walked over.

He was the only one who received the painting from Lynn.

It could be said that this matter was indirectly caused by him.

Naturally, he had to say a few words.

“Senior, don’t blame them. This matter was caused by me. I won’t take this painting. I’ll treat it as compensation for Jaime. As for your kindness, I’ve received it,” said Master Bei generously. 

Master Bei was not like Jaime.

He had participated in many variety shows.

Naturally, he knew some rules. He was also a kinder person.

If he did not take the painting, the conflict would naturally disappear.

At that moment, Lynn finally raised his eyes.

His gaze shifted from the blue and white porcelain cup to the program team.

“Since I said that I’m giving it to him, then it’s his. As for what I didn’t say, if you break it, you should pay for it. If you don’t believe in this price, then you can find an expert to check it out.”

After saying that, Lynn did not care about the crowd’s reaction.

He was still indulging in the fragrance of his tea.

“This…”

Upon hearing Lynn’s words, Kaki’s expression softened slightly.

If an expert came over, at least they could determine the price.

They would not suffer too much.

“Okay. Then get an expert over. I’ll see if you can still be so tough when the time comes,” said Jaime. 

Jaime was angry.

He asked Kaki and the program to invite an expert over to verify it.

Kaki gave Lynn a deep look.

He then took out his cell phone and started to call the station manager.

“Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep…”

After a few beeps, his call was finally answered.
