Second Young Master Sharp had arrived just minutes ago, and the commotion started as soon as he arrived. Since Second Young Master Sharp had already been there once the day before that, the reaction to his appearance was quite muted. However, the reporters went berserk when they saw him there!
The campus-level comic competition had been a hype in Bentson’s animation industry because Sharp Corporation was the joint organizer. Then it caused even more sensation when the Williams Corporation sent someone to serve on the judges’ panel. His appearance had created an unprecedented uproar again!
Eldest Young Master Williams was also there! The busy Eldest Young Master Williams, whom the media could not catch a glimpse of in a year, had appeared as the Williams’sWilliams’s representative at the event!
The girls around him were so startled that their legs turned to jelly when he got out of the car. That guy was so handsome that no women could hold their legs together! Handsome! Cold! Aloof! No woman could ever resist him! Elena watched him as he got out of the car and walked into the crowd.
There were too many people. If it were not for his height, it would be difficult for her to notice him.
“Excuse us!” The campus security guard and the Williams Williams’s bodyguards took the lead to make way for him. Layla and Lois immediately gave way for them. When he noticed that Elena was frozen at the entrance, Luacs gently called her name.
“Elena.”
Elena still did not respond, and the security team had already arrived. Luacs could only gently take her shoulder and pull her away.
“Oh, sorry. I was thinking about something just now.” Elena was startled and embarrassed about that.
She felt as if she was like the other girls who would lose their minds when they saw Michael. Luacs did not say anything. He greeted the cold eyes casually, without a hint of fear. Elena faced Luacs, so she had her back turned toward Eldest Young Master Williams’s people. She did not know that the man’s eyes were on her.
“Are you all right?” Luacs asked in a low voice.
Elena shook her head. Then she stood on tip-toe and approached Luacs. Luacs knew that she had something to say, so he immediately bent toward her.
Elena leaned into his ear and whispered, “You don’t have to stay here while we are competing. Maybe oo out and do something else?”
“Why?” Why did she want him to leave during such a significant competition?
“Just do as I say,” she whispered into his ear.
Luacs frowned. Even though it was inconceivable, he knew that she must have a reason for that.
“Very well.” His gaze was soft, and his pleasant emotion was visible through his eyes. “I hope that he won’t let you down.”
“Go.”
Elena pushed him away, and Luacs did not hesitate. He turned around and left. Elena watched him go before she turned around to look at the entrance of the venue. She did not expect to meet a gaze that was as cold as the deepest part of a glacier when she turned around.
At just a single glance, one would immediately fall into that ice cellar. It continued for half a second, and then his cold gaze was no longer in front of her. In a blink of an eye, he had entered the stadium with the crowd.
“What did you ask Luacs to do?” Layla asked when she saw him leave the venue.
“He had something to do, of course.” Elena tugged at Layla. “Don’t look anymore. Let’s go in.”
The crowd finally dispersed after Eldest Young Master Williams entered the stadium. All the girls, however, went crazy after they heard that both Eldest Young Master Williams and Second Young Master Sharp were at the venue. Even those who had no interest in comics hurried there to take a closer look at the handsome guys. The two men were legends in Bentson; some people would not even have the chance to see them in their lifetime.
Elena walked ahead, but soon, she found that Lois had not moved an inch. She turned around to check on Lois, and she noticed that she had stood frozen as she kept her gaze at the entrance.
“Why aren’t you moving?” Layla nudged her.
“So handsome…”
“Beware of your saliva.” Layla was disgusted with her friend.
Lois had commented that Second Young Master Sharp was the most handsome man she had ever met, and then she had gawked at Eldest Young Master Williams. How shameful!
“What’s wrong with that? Everyone has a soft spot for beauty. Shouldn’t we look at handsome guys?” Those men were so outstanding that she could only watch them from a distance. What else could she do besides that? She could not possibly run toward them and plant a kiss on them, right? Layla was too lazy to entertain Lois. She was still worried about the vacated lead artist position in their team. She had no mood to think about handsome guys.
A lively crowd greeted them as they walked into the stadium. There were countless reporters from different live broadcast platforms and even more viewers. Aryan was also there, and he stood among Nina’s team. Nina stood in the crowd, near to where Eldest Young Master Williams was. It looked as if she wanted to get his attention, but she could not get past the group.
“Big Brother, it’s me, Nina. Big Brother Williams…”
She was Sarah’s niece. Even though she was not a young miss from the Williams family, she had always addressed Michael as a big brother like the other young misses in the family. She never expected that Eldest Young Master Williams would be at the event. It was already hard to see him at the Williams’s mansion, let alone a random appearance at the comic event. What a pleasant surprise!
Nina knew that her relationship with Eldest Young Master Williams would help her progress in the animation industry in the future. All the companies out there would be willing to give Eldest Young Master Williams some respect. If she could get some screen time with Michael on the live broadcast, she would probably have a good future in the animation industry.
“Big Brother, it’s me, Nina…”
“Look at her now. Her usual dignified and cool temperament was nowhere to be seen.”
Lois shook her head disapprovingly. She had never expected Nina, who looked dainty in front of everyone else, would have such a side to her. She had squeezed and pushed amongst the crowd just to get a little closer to Eldest Young Master Williams. What a joke!
Elena was indifferent about it. She seemed to have gotten used to such a situation. Very few women could stay calm and collected in front of Eldest Young Master Williams. No women could restrain themselves in front of him. That man was so addictive! It made perfect sense never to get close to him. That was how she was in her previous life; she was crazy over him like a nymphomaniac. She was even more embarrassing, more shameless, and more disgusting when compared to Nina.
“Aryan…” Layla’s eyes fell on the figure in the distance.
He stood with Nina’s team silently. He was quiet, and he did not even look at Nina.
As usual, when he was deep in thoughts, he would disregard everything that was happening around him. One could never imagine him as one who would betray his friends.
“Elena, it’s time to register ourselves.” Lois nudged at her.
“Let’s go.”
For that round in the competition, the entire team must register their names with the organizer, from the screenwriter to the lead artist, to the inker, and the coloring artist. As long as they were part of the competition, they must register themselves. The number of participants in a team would be confirmed during the registration. They could no longer substitute any of their team members during the competition.
Nina could not get close to Michael and had to return to her team in anger.
Her assistant immediately said, “Miss Marsh, it’s time for our registration.”
“Okay.” Nina calmed down and looked at Aryan. “You can wait for me here. We’ll go out to celebrate our victory in three hours.”
