"I object."
Ethan finally stepped to the front of the stage.
He also confronted Rubins directly.
He glanced at Hughes first.
Hughes, originally frowning, now had a smile on his face.
But realizing he shouldn't be so friendly to Ethan, he promptly put on a stern expression again.
Ethan found it amusing, thinking this little old man was endearingly consistent.
Meanwhile, those below the stage also noticed Ethan. Although Ethan's paintings were quite famous in the Royal Capital, most people hadn't seen him in person, so they were not clear on who this young man suddenly stepping up was.
Especially since he dared to openly challenge Rubins.
Although the feeling was refreshing, if he didn't handle the subsequent response well, it would be the Royal Capital Art Academy that truly lost face.
Clearly, Rubins also realized this.
