The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Chapter 1150 - 345: Holy City Residents Urging for Updates (Part 4)

After the chaos subsided, a young man in his twenties swiftly walked out of the newspaper office.

He was Dinger Kajuna, who also served as the head of the newspaper office now.

Looking at Luo Yan, he unconsciously rubbed his hands, looking somewhat shy and uneasy, but more than anything, there was genuine enthusiasm and gratitude.

"Prince Colin... I'm really sorry for the trouble we've caused you. Thank you for your kindness in rescuing us."

Luo Yan smiled and shook his head, indicating he need not worry.

"Just a small favor, President Kajuna. Seeing the newspaper being so popular, I am genuinely happy for you all... It shows that you haven't let my intentions down."

"Of course, how dare we fail your good intentions!" Kajuna's face radiated with a blush, hurriedly gesturing to invite him, "Are you here to inspect our work? This way please!"

"No need to be so nervous, I'll just stroll around myself, go ahead and maintain your duties."

With a smile, he reassured him, and Luo Yan, accompanied by the silent Sarah, stepped into the newspaper office.

This three-story office building was converted from a residential house. The office rooms were very narrow, seeming a bit cramped, but the decoration was warm, and the floor was clean... Clearly, those working here treated this place like their home.

Entering on the second floor, Luo Yan's gaze swept past one row of busy and crowded desks and quickly landed on a familiar face.

It was a boy about twelve or thirteen years old.

A mature expression on his tender face hinted at wisdom beyond his years, with a cane leaning against the table beside him.

At this moment, he was meticulously checking the documents on the desk, seemingly assisting with some simple paperwork while learning on the job.

Luo Yan raised an eyebrow.

Someone at this age who knows how to read is truly rare.

"... Your Highness?! What brings you here?"

White immediately noticed Prince Colin entering the office, and in surprise, attempted to stand and salute while clutching the table.

Luo Yan smiled, extending his hand to gently press his shoulder, preventing him from rising.

"No need for formalities, I'm just casually looking around." His voice was gentle, his gaze sweeping over the other young editors and children who had stood up on hearing him, "Continue with your work, don't let down those readers outside waiting eagerly."

His words carried a reassuring strength, and the initially tense crowd felt relieved, returning to their seats.

Luo Yan's gaze returned to the boy now glowing with excitement.

Just then, he noticed a manuscript next to White's hand, on which were sketches he found surprisingly familiar.

"What's this?" He asked curiously, looking at the manuscript.

"It's abstract art, Your Highness! You should be quite familiar with it!"

Seeing the prince interested in his work, White quickly introduced with enthusiasm, his eyes sparkling.

"Recently, this concept is making waves in the art circles of Holy City, especially among young people. Unfortunately, not many are willing to invest in this new style... You know, those big nobles only invest in artists who have real potential and fame, while this new trend is mostly pursued by unknown young artists."

Luo Yan raised an eyebrow, having a few guesses in his mind: "Are you writing a report about this art trend?"

"Sort of," White said excitedly, "but it's more related to an exhibition themed around abstract art!"

Hearing this, Luo Yan nearly choked on his own saliva.

"Abstract art... exhibition?"

"Exactly!"

White's tone was full of approval for new things, he nodded vigorously.

"A kind lady is willing to fund this, offering those unknown young artists a chance to showcase their work by investing in this exhibition... Well, although, I think it's related to her budget not being very sufficient."

Without waiting for the prince to speak, White continued with eyes bright with anticipation, "Regardless of whether there's investment... Don't you think it's fantastic? I've learned that it's a painting style with very low barriers, whether it's the use of colors or the paint itself, they can be splashed on paper unconventionally. Even my sister says she could paint such pictures!"

"I! I didn't say that!"

Standing beside him helping with document sorting, Diona's cheeks immediately flushed upon hearing her brother's words.

She glared at him fiercely, nervously looking at Prince Colin, fearing he might take offense at these words.

After all, she had heard others mention that this trend sweeping through the young art circle seemed to be generated by a lecture given by this prince at the Imperial Royal Art Academy.

Usually, her brother is quite perceptive, but today he seemed to forget a bit about discretion.

However, Luo Yan didn't take it to heart.

Truthfully, he was indeed a bit embarrassed, especially realizing his offhand remarks in class had such a significant impact on the young people of Holy City.

Nevertheless...

This is a good thing.

After pondering for a moment, he offered his perspective.

"I think... it's indeed a good thing. Self-expression shouldn't be the monopoly of those with wealth and power. The world is fraught with discipline for those without authority or influence. Young people like yourselves should also have the right to voice their thoughts, it's a right bestowed to you by Saint Sis."
