Chapter 172: Handle Anything That Comes My Way

To be honest, no one fully believed Reece's words. Such a great plan could not have been thoughtup by someone as brainless as him.

Cheyenne picked up a banana, peeled it and took a bite before relaying the information she hadoverheard to everyone in a calm manner. "I overheard a conversation outside the guest room on thethird floor. The casino manager showed great respect for that person and he sounded quite old.They also mentioned something about drug testing!"

Drug testing? Could it be related to the large amount of Datura stramonium found in his bloodearlier? Eddie thought about this and his clear eyes showed deep contemplation as he glanced atCheyenne who was looking back at him.

Their eyes met.

"Oh, there's another important person - Aidan! I heard them mention him several times. Master Iker,you should send someone to investigate this person," Cheyenne said.

Iker nodded her noble head slightly. "Hmm."

After finishing her last bite of banana, she threw the peel behind her with precision into the trashcan without looking.

"Soar Casino is heavily guarded, how did you guys manage to escape?" Tanner noticed that exceptfor Dominic's arm being scratched and Reece looking somewhat disheveled, these three people alllooked pretty good considering what they had gone through earlier.

Speaking of which was really satisfying! Reece's expression was even more vivid and exaggeratedthan when he boasted just now as he lightly patted Cheyenne on the shoulder.

"It was all thanks to my lighter that Cheyenne had a chance to set fire to the casino!"

"What!" Tanner dropped his chicken leg on the table in shock with wide open mouth full of surprise.

Cheyenne... Miss Lawrence was too... too bold!

Iker calmly observed the woman in front of her. After eating enough food, she licked her pink lipssubconsciously which were tempting beyond measure with some oil shine still remaining makingthem look even more tender.

Her voice sounded innocent yet lazy but carried an absolute weight that shook people's heartsdeeply. "Soar Casino means nothing; I can handle anything that comes my way."

In this instant, Cheyenne appeared like one who fell from heaven - brave yet pure - causingpeople's hearts filled with admiration...

The floor-to-ceiling windows were covered by thick black curtains, blocking out all the light fromoutside. The only source of illumination in the room was a vintage European-style lotus-shapedmetal lamp on the bedside table.

On the single sofa next to the bed, a man was dressed in a black checkered cotton robe with hiscollar slightly open, revealing his fair and sexy chest.

His shoulder-length hair was wet and disheveled as if he had just washed it. Water droplets fell ontohis collar or trickled down into his dark clothing.

A Latin version of the Bible lay on his knee. From its yellowed pages and frayed spine, it seemedthat he had read this book countless times before.

In the quiet night, only his long and slow heartbeat could be heard until suddenly a ringing soundbroke through this peacefulness with clarity.

His bright eyes opened abruptly as the light from his phone screen illuminated one corner of theroom. He got up, picked up his phone, and then turned to walk out the door.

The wind rushed in from all directions, flipping through the pages of the book with a "whoosh"sound.

Suddenly, it came to rest on a particular page.

As the curtains billowed, a beam of silvery moonlight filtered through the glass, casting a glow ontothe yellowed pages of the book.

"In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and thedarkness comprehended it not." Underneath these words was a red line drawn by him which stoodout even more under moonlight's glow against darkness around them.

But in this world, darkness always has its end, and even the moonlight without warmth serves as ablade to dispel the darkness.novelbin

The man finished his phone call and returned, closing the door behind him.

The room was now silent and cold.

The following day marked beginning of highly anticipated college art competition held at AkloitCultural Center.

Nora got up early in the morning, bathed and dressed herself. She put on a champagne-colored off-the-shoulder organza dress, her curly hair cascading down her back, and a red bow adding a touchof youthful charm to her look.

She had poured her heart and soul into preparing for a month, crafting her new work, "Women inthe Fields", drawing inspiration from the lives of rural women.

Overseas, there were many similar themes, especially in the European art of the sixteenth century.Influenced by the Renaissance, art's focus shifted from the divine to the human.

One of the most famous works is Johannes Vermeer's masterpiece "Girl with a Pearl Earring",which can be considered on par with da Vinci's "Mona Lisa".

Imitating these masters' paintings is undoubtedly difficult, not only in terms of color application butalso in line and lighting layout, which are extremely challenging.

But Nora's painting has received unanimous praise from her mentor and school, who believe italready has the style of a master to some extent. The only thing lacking is life experience, whichrequires time to get.

Nora will represent her school in the upcoming National College Art Competition! If she cansuccessfully win the gold medal, she will undoubtedly receive a free opportunity to study at RoyalCollege of Art.

This art academy was founded by the Levy family in the seventeenth century and has trained manyworld-renowned painters. Initially, it only provided training to the royal and noble offspring. However,over time, it gradually relaxed its admission criteria and became one of the world's top three artacademies.

Nora's mentor Xzavier Rivera graduated from this art academy himself. He studied there earlier onand even received an honor for outstanding graduates.

Xzavier had established connections with the Royal College of Art. If Nora could secure thechampionship this time, she could enter the college on a full scholarship.

He had great confidence in his student's level. Among peers Nora was considered top-notch. So hebelieved Nora would be crowned champion without question!

Before leaving for the competition, Nora took a selfie photo and posted it online.

[Heading now to the National College Art Competition. Cheyenne, you shall go for it too. Though wemade our bet beforehand, you haven't practiced painting for a whole month. Even if I win, it will beso unfair. @BreezeForSleeping]

As a campus belle herself at school, Nora accumulated quite a few fans.

Once it was posted, it received many comments from netizens right away.
