Chapter 904 - Arrival of the Geniuses (1/2)

About a couple of days earlier, the media and some well-connected people in different fields had detected the arrival of some notable international figures in the country. Since most of these notable figures belonged to highly specialized fields, they weren't household names. However, people working in their fields knew exactly who they were, and of course, admired them very much.

Among the group, there were two people who had worldwide recognition and were considered as celebrities in their own respective fields.

The first one was a famous young beauty in the art world, Ashandra Knightson. She was also quite popular in the fashion world as a designer. However, she was most well-known for her breathtaking paintings.

Her Chinese fans almost went crazy with excitement when they heard that she arrived in the country. They tried investigating where she was staying but her whereabouts remained unknown.

What was Ashandra Knightson doing here?

There were lots of speculations about her purpose in coming here. This was the second time this year that she came to the country. People remembered that she attended Orchidia Beauty's grand launch where it was revealed that she was friends with the owner. Since everyone now knew that Iris Long was the beauty company's owner, it meant that the two were friends.

People who knew this connection discussed online.

”Maybe Ashandra came to visit Iris Long again.”

”That's possible. Iris Long has recently limited her public appearances to a bare minimum possibly due to health reasons. Maybe Ashandra is visiting because she's concerned for her friend's health and wellbeing.”

”Goddess Ashandra is the best!”

Of course, there would always be some people who just had to say something negative in any online discussions.

”Do you all seriously believe that crap about Ashandra Knightson being friends with Iris Long? I'm telling you that's bullshit! I bet Iris Long only became acquainted with an important person like Ashandra Knightson because she's CEO Jin Liwei's fiancée.”

”That's right! Iris Long is a nobody compared to someone of Ashandra Knightson's stature. Well, I don't really know who this Ashandra Knightson is but I did a quick web search and read that she's a super famous artist. There's no way that someone important like her will be genuine friends with Iris Long.”

Within minutes, the Slippers Army led by the new fearsome duo KittyBaby and PantherBaby who turned out to be actual siblings in real life descended in droves and trolled all of these Iris Long naysayers into embarrassing smithereens.

At the same time that Ashandra Knightson's fans in the art and fashion worlds were busy trying to gather more news about her stay in the country, the leaders of almost all the important fields in running society were shocked to learn of the second notable figure's arrival in the country. His arrival was quieter and didn't cause an online stir like Ashandra Knightson but it definitely rocked the leaders and the elites at the top.

Professor Erwant Dupont, headmaster of the legendary school of geniuses Cross Academy, was a highly respected and ill.u.s.trious figure admired by many leaders and elites all over the world. He enjoyed the same treatment as members of royalty or leaders of sovereign states because of the unshakeable independent power that Cross Academy held for more than two centuries.
