BXBX NOVEL Chapter 141 A Ruin!
Inside the venue, it was so quiet as everyone collectively looked in one direction.
All of their eyes are gathered at the result of Nathan\'s sculpting at this time.
Standing amidst all those looks, he did not feel nervous or anything.
Because Nathan\'s mindset has already transcended that of a normal human.
At this time, he had already finished the sculpture and everyone for some reason just stared at it without making any noise.
After a long time, the silence was broken.
"Whoa!!"
"It is so lifelike!"
"I want one for myself too!"
…
The audience bursts into different kinds of reactions.
There are those that are amazed, surprised, happy, jealous, etc.
And it all came from the sculpture that Nathan made.
Mary, who\'s been stunned throughout the whole process, moved at this time, approaching Nathan.
Pointing at the sculpture with shaky fingers, she asked, "T-that… is that me?"
Deactivating the sculpture profession, Nathan heaved a sigh before turning to Mary.
With a small smile, he nodded, "Yes, that is indeed you. I used you as the model to create that."
That\'s right, Nathan\'s sculpture at this time was also a human figure again, just like the one he gifted Irish.
But this time, it was the figure of Mary sculpted in that wood.
After hearing Nathan\'s confirmation, Mary can\'t help but walk near the sculpture and pick it up with trembling hands.
"Wow…" she whispered,
Looking at the fine details engraved in this piece of wood, Mary can feel the skill of the one who made it up close.
It was as if she could feel directly with her body the hands of the craftsman itself, shaping her every nook and cranny with great patience.
Seeing that Mary was just staring at it, Nathan smiled and asked, "Do you like it?"
"I do, I like it so much!" Immediately replied Mary,
"That\'s good then." Nathan said, then he handed back the tools borrowed from her, "Here, you can take it back now."
Mary accepted the tools without even turning her gaze away from the sculpture.
Seeing her so absorbed with it, anathan then asked the real question for this \'performance\' of him.
With an indifferent look, he asked, "So, was that enough proof that my gift to Irish is something that I made myself?"
Mary was startled out of her own thoughts and suddenly froze.
She forgot!
The reason why Nathan sculpted this figure of her on the spot was because of the doubt she showed before!
Remembering it now, Mary was embarrassed and wanted to bury herself in the ground because of the shame she felt for comparing herself with Nathan earlier.
Nodding her head, she answered his question, "Yes, you\'re really a great sculptor. I apologize for doubting you."
She bowed her head deeply, full of sincerity.
Waving his hand, Nathan dismisses it nonchalantly and doesn\'t seem to care about it.
After hearing that, Nathan did not say anything more and walked back to his previous seat calmly.
Natalie walked beside him and with a big smile, she said, "Brother, you look awesome earlier!"
Hearing that made Nathan smile.
Patting her head, he said nothing and sat down on his seat.
After that episode, the gift opening session continued.
But because of Nathan\'s performance from earlier, no one paid attention to it anymore and even Irish herself seems unfocused the whole time.
At 7 PM the celebration finally ended.
The guests started leaving one by one after greeting Irish for the last time.
But there are also those who did not leave immediately just like Nathan and Natalie as well as James, Kenneth, Mary, and Runa.
They all stayed because Irish asked them to, saying that she wants to talk, take pictures, and maybe bond with them for a while since she\'s been busy for the whole day.
Since it was not a problem, all of them agreed.
All of them that were asked were close friends of Irish except for Natalie. Because of that, Nathan guessed that Runa, who he\'s been paying attention to, is also a close friend of hers.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Irish went towards her group of close friends and showed an exhausted look.
"Haaa… I\'m so tired." She complained to them, "I feel like my back\'s about to give up, hais…"
Seeing her appearance, the group can\'t help but laugh at her words.
Kenneth said, "Maybe you\'re really becoming old." And laughed louder.
"Ah! You all are so mean. Especially you Ken!" Irish glared at him.
After everyone recovered, James said, "So, since you asked us all to stay, what did you specifically want to do?"
Everyone perked up their ears as this is also what they are curious about.
Irish became excited after hearing James ask about this.
"Oh! Since you\'re so excited to know it, let me tell you then."
She gestured for everyone to come near her and huddle up, acting mysterious.
She looked them in the eye and whispered, "I have discovered an ancient ruin under the beach!"
Stunned, everyone looked at Irish with different eyes.
James frowned, he said, "Irish, what do you mean by ancient ruin?"
"You\'re clearly messing with us." Kenneth said,
Irish shook her head, denying their accusations.
"No, I really found an ancient ruin, just like those in the movies!"
Seeing that Irish didn\'t seem to be lying, the two fell silent.
Nathan on the side, who\'s been watching all this, looked at her and asked, "What\'s the reason that you\'re telling it to us then? Do you want us to explore it?"
The excited look appeared on Irish face again, "Yes! I wanted to show it to you all. I actually have taken a look at it before. However, I was too scared to get further inside!"
Touching his chin, Nathan fell silent with a contemplative expression.
For Nathan, although discovering a ruin has a very small probability of happening, he knows first hand that it was never impossible.
That is why, he did not immediately make a conclusion such as this being a prank or real.
Aside from him, Runa at this time also has a thoughtful expression while watching all this happen.
