The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 264


    Inside Bardot Manor, there were around forty to fifty people in total of Aidan’s rtives


    and his disciples. A fewrge tables had been ced in the hall.


    It was time to present gifts.


    Dorothy had thoughtfully prepared a gift for Alex to present to Aidan, it was an inkstone


    that cost tens of thousands dors.

    The old man liked calligraphy, hence, she figured


    that he would like it.


    “Give this inkstone to himter, and say it’s a present from both of us.” Dorothy


    reminded him in a soft voice.


    “There’s no need for that, I’ve prepared gifts as well,” Alex smiled as he said.


    In front of them, the first one to present the gift to Aidan was the elder daughter, ire.


    “Dad, I’ve got you this jade scepter. I wish you good luck and health for years toe.”


    Next was Adrianna and Taylor, they gave him a gold statue of Buddha.


    Then, Aidan’s disciples followed suit and presented their gifts to Aidan.


    Alex was speechless with the fact that Aidan would open his presents as soon as he


    received them, regardless of the gifts being wrapped in boxes. Alex had seen his


    expression turned gloomy as some of his disciples had presented gifts that weren’t as


    grand as the others.


    While dragging Edison, Sharpay enthusiastically rushed up to present her gift as well.


    “Grandpa, this is a gift from Edison. It’s a famous painting called The Landscape by


    Jean Pucelli in the 13th century. It’s the real deal, you know? Take a look, Grandpa!”


    “What? The Landscape by Jean Pucelli?”


    As expected, Aidan’s eyes lit up as he heard


    her words.


    A few of his disciples were shocked as well. After all, Jean Pucelli was indeed the most


    famous artist back in the 13th century. Along with other three famous artists, they were


    referred to as the Famous Four. His original works were priceless. Just a while ago, one


    of his original works was auctioned for eighty million dors in Port City.


    Even if The Landscape was not as costly as that painting, it must still be quite


    expensive!


    Upon hearing this, Alex furrowed his eyebrows.


    ‘He presented The Landscape too? That’s too coincident. Then should I present mine


    too?’ Alex thought.


    During their conversation, one of Aidan’s disciples started praising out loud. “It’s the real


    deal! It really is! This gift is amazing, it must have cost at least tens of millions dors!”


    Aidan smiled at Edison as he said, “You’re so considerate, Edison. But this painting is


    priceless, I don’t dare to take it, you should just keep it for yourself!”


    Edison smiled and replied, “Grandpa, heroes deserve powerful swords whereas refined


    schrs deserve famous paintings.


    You are indeed a truly refined schr, Grandpa, just


    look at how many disciples you have! If I were to keep The Landscape, that would just


    lower its worth. However, it’s definitely a match for you!”


    “Haha, what a great speech. Mr. Bardot, with such a grandson-inw, what more could


    you ask for?


    Since this is his token of appreciation to you, you should just ept it, Mr.


    Bardot! ”


    “Uhm… Well, alright. I’ll be keeping it safe for Edison then! It’s still going to be yours


    when I pass away anyway! Haha!”


    Edison then took out a century-old ginseng, iming that it cost millions dors. He then


    proceeded to wish Aidan good health for years toe.


    However, with Alex’s abilities now, he was able to identify any herbs with just one sniff.


    The century-old ginseng was a fake. It was just a garden ginseng that was dried and


    baked to make it look like a century-old ginseng.


    Such ginseng was avable in some markets in the north side, its price was even


    cheaper than carrots.


    Hence, Alex couldn’t hold in hisughter upon seeing this, he


    ended up letting out a slight chuckle.


    This chuckle wasn’t much of a problem, but Sharpay immediately noticed it.


    She walked over to him and said, “Yo, what are youughing about, my useless


    cousin-inw?


    What do you n to give Grandpa on his birthday? Oh, you can drive a


    Lamborghini that’s worth fifteen million dors, you have the right tough at us indeed.


    Then show us what gift you have prepared. Is the gift inside this bag?”


    With that, she snatched it from him.


    The moment the painting was opened up, everyone was shocked.
