Chapter 377: Finally Comprehended

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Inside the manor’s exhibition hall, the organiser of the exhibition, who was also the owner of the manor, was laughing happily as he introduced his art pieces.

The evaluation of those within the circles was that his style was too utilitarian but that it would still be popular in the market and that his ability was equal to a veteran within the painting circles.

Will counted the time as he viewed the paintings. Although he didn’t like this person’s paintings, he had to admit that this person’s painting techniques were worth learning from. Of course, he was even more willing to bring Curly Hair out and foster some inspiration. That was what he thirsted for the most. Many times he had felt that he was close to achieving his goal, but whenever he picked up the brush, he was at a loss.

After browsing through all the paintings in the exhibition hall, Will glanced at the time. Only 30 minutes had passed and he needed to continue listening to the exaggerated bragging of the host and it simply contaminated his mind!

Will didn’t continue listening and instead when upstairs alone to check out the host’s private collection. The manor owner loved to flaunt, besides his own works he also displayed his own collection which were all artistic treasures.

There were less people upstairs and it was quieter. Will decided to kill time here and endure for one hour before bring the dog away. As he viewed these, a loud boom shocked him to the core. Afterwards, some flames rushed up and ignited the the large paintings in the exhibition hall in an instant.

Some people were at a loss with these sudden unforeseen circumstances. The exhibition hall suddenly descended into chaos as people tried to flee, while others searched for people they knew.

Will was a genius when it came to painting, but was a noob in other aspects, for example the ability to flee for his life.

When the accident occured, Will stood rooted to the spot in a daze at a time where every second counted towards escaping with his life. Will only reacted when others who were viewing the art pieces reminded him. His first reaction was to run after the people ahead——He had completely forgotten where the exits were.

Inside the chaotic exhibition hall, people who were cultured and graceful most of the time didn’t give a sh*t when their lives were threatened and ran for their lives. Will, who was an artist that stayed shut in most of the time and didn’t pay any attention to training was gently squeezed out and knocked down by the people behind like a weak chicken. He fell to the ground and couldn’t get up, his leg was sprained.

There were originally less people upstairs and in a flash, Will was the only one left.

The smart fire control facilities had become ornaments.

And his own personal terminal bracelet wasn’t working properly.

Will had never imagined that he would encounter such a situation and was caught off guard without any bit of mental preparation. People would only understand true despair when they reached such a state.

Will was coughing, his throat felt as though it was being choked by something sharp. Breathing became difficult and his cries for help were drowned out by the surrounding sounds. His eyes were uncomfortable and watery. In his narrow and warped field of vision, the columns of thick smoke was like a terrible monster, reaching towards him.

For Will who “placed painting above everything else”, right now his mind was actually overflowing with inspiration. His strongest thoughts right now were actually on painting……

When Will’s line of thought was caught up in a confusion between fleeing, inspiration and painting, the back of his hand brushed against a moist nose.

“Woof Woof Woof!”

Will’s mind sobered up and he turned his head over.

Curly Hair rubbed his nose into Will’s arm once more. “Woof Woof Woof Woof Woof!”

Will didn’t wonder why Curly Hair who was supposed to be locked up in his cage had appeared here. Right now, he was filled with a deluge of thoughts. Touched, rueful as well as immeasurable regret. Curly Hair had actually found him before his own bodyguards. Oh, right, and painting. He still hadn’t achieved the target he set himself for this period of advanced studies.

When he thought about this, Will tossed all other complicated thoughts from his mind, “Hurry and get out….Cough cough cough…..”

Saying just a few words was extremely difficult.

Curly Hair barked loudly a few times then bit into the sleeves and pulled him towards the direction of the exit.

Ssss——

The sleeves were torn.

Will was even more touched. “Run cough cough cough….go find someone……you can’t move me….”

He hadn’t finished speaking when Curly Hair gave up on the sleeves and instead held onto Will’s collar and ran like the wind. It wasn’t any different from running with a stick in his mouth.

Will who was being dragged along easily: “…..”

Crash——.

A row of display cabinets came crashing down on where Will had been lying just moments ago.

Will watched the rapidly falling ceiling and the activity of object collapsing continuously. There were concentrated sparks flying in the distance.

In that instant, Will finally comprehended.

When Curly Hair dragged Will over to the top of the flight of stairs, the bodyguards that had rushed into the exhibition hall and were searching heard the sound of barking and came over. The hurriedly placed a breathing mask onto Will’s face and carried him to the exit.

Curly Hair followed by their side.

Outside the exhibition hall, emergency rescue had already rushed over and were treating the injured.

Will who was being carried only felt the temperature around his body becoming much cooler. The light had also become much brighter. He could faintly hear the sounds of dogs barking in the distance as well as the high pitched shouting of some lady.

Having reached a safe place, the bodyguard placed Will down. Seeing Will’s dazed manner, he was worried and thought to himself. Is he in shock?

“Sir! Mister Will Jr!” The bodyguard called.

Will who was drowning in his own thoughts snapped out of it. He raised his hand indicating he was fine before continuing his daze while muttering, “Wrong…..I was wrong before….”

Seeing Will in this state, the bodyguard was even more worried. He has really suffered a severe shock. Hurry up and inform Mister Will Sr!

During the video call, Will Sr who was attending some other event turned pale until he learnt that Will was safe.

Currently Will was in a sorry state. His enter body was grey and sooty and his hair had a burnt smell. One side of his sleeves was torn and his eyes were blank. When he saw this, Will Sr was no longer in the mood to continue with his currently activity and placed all matters aside to rush over. At the same time, he arranged for a private medical team and even more bodyguards to rush over. He also made an appointment with a psychiatrist. How much of a mental shadow cast for his son who had encountered such an accident.

At this time, ambulances, firefighting crafts and police cars were gathered in this manor away from the city and making a din.

The only good news was that there were no casualties as of yet. Even the dogs in the designated location were safe just that the dogs had ran out and some people were sent to catch them back.

There was no need for Will to say anything, the bodyguards personally brought along the curly haired dog with a value of 200 million as they left.

Seeing the bodyguards being Will away, some of the people gathered starting to discuss after their lives were no longer in danger.

“I heard that Will was dragged out of the exhibition hall?” Someone said.

“Eh? Didn’t the bodyguard bring him out?” The person beside was astonished.

“I know! I just heard a bodyguard from that side say that Will was first found by the dog. The bodyguard heard the dog’s barks before finding and bring him out!” Yet another person chimed in.

“Heh, I really never expected that such a small dog could actually drag a grown main along.”

“…..explosive power? Otherwise why would it be a dog with a value of 200 million! I wonder if the dog’s owner insured it, I saw that its fur was all curled up from the fire.”

“No, its fur is naturally curly. I saw that it appeared quite lively when it came out. It shouldn’t be hurt, otherwise there would have to be quite a high compensation.”

“Will didn’t leave the dog at the designated location?”

“You still don’t know? The dog cages at the location were all opened and the dogs all ran out!” Someone joined the discussion.

“What? There’s still such a thing? Didn’t I say I saw dogs running outside! Who did it? Perhaps they were trying to steal dogs?”

“No idea, I heard that the surveillance cameras were damaged. Definitely some special pliers or equipment were used to break the metal locks of the cages that easily.

“Forget about the dogs first. How did this all happen in the first place?”

“What else could it be, the manor owner must have offended someone and this was revenge! We were all caught up in this grudge! I wonder what sort of trivial matter it was!”

…

Will didn’t know about the follow-up about the matter at the manor. After leaving the manor, he was sent to a hospital ward. Because he was entranced by his own thoughts, during the doctor’s questioning, his reactions were sluggies and he appeared as though he was in a daze and he didn’t know what he was saying.

After the medical examination was completed, Will’s parents had also arrived. Seeing the miserable state of their son lying on the bed, their hearts ached and their eyes welled up with tears. Upon hearing from the doctor that Will’s mental state seemed abnormal, the old couple were even more depressed.

Indeed, their child had been traumatised! No one knew how long a mental scar would take to vanish. If Will Sr had known, he wouldn’t have forced Will to attend this art exhibition!

Just that, before the old couple could say anything, Will lifted his hands with difficulty towards a bodyguard by his side. There was an unprecedented glow in his eyes. “Lift me……up…..I want to paint!”

After that, Will’s desire was firmly suppressed by his father.

Still thinking of painting at this time? Paint my *ss! Don’t think about touching a brush till you get better!

Before Will Sr arrived at the hospital, he had gotten someone to inform Fang Zhao, after all that dog was valued at 200 million and it was best for the owner of this sort of “precious item” to be in the know.

Having received the news, Fang Zhao hurriedly applied for leave from the project team and rushed over. Fang Zhao also hadn’t expected that such an incident would occur when WIll had just brought Curly Hair along to an art exhibition.

Will’s parents hadn’t been there for long when Fang Zhao also arrived.

Will Sr shook Fang Zhao’s hands and expressed his thanks. He had already heard that if it hasn’t been for Curly Hair’s barking, the bodyguards might not have found Will that quickly and Will might have died. Just that Curly Hair wasn’t cooperating and wouldn’t let the vet near him.

Curly Hair was looked after well, the dust and soot on his body had been cleaned off and it appeared as though he hadn’t experienced this whole incident. When Fang Zhao saw Curly Hair, he was currently gnawing on a bone. Clearly, Curly Hair simply hadn’t been affected by this whole incident. His appetite was great and his tail wagged vigorously as he whined when he saw Fang Zhao.

As the savior dog that had saved Will’s life, the gazes of Will parents’ towards Curly Hair will full of appreciation, as though they were looking at a glowing little angel.

The “Glowing Little Angel” was brought away from the hospital by Fang Zhao and they returned to the dormitory at HuangArt.

Fang Zhao did a checkup for Curly Hair and then fell silent as he stared at the metal fragments he pulled out from Curly Hair’s teeth.
