Landlord in the Arctic

Chapter 310 - 253: The End

This was the first time the live audience had seen the field footage. Although the camera was a bit shaky, it did nothing to detract from the immersive, heart-pounding atmosphere.

If anything, the shaky camera made it feel more authentic—like real footage hastily recorded by people in peril during a tense, critical moment. It carried a raw, unpolished feeling and a sense of urgency, making every scene seem all the more real and tangible.

At first, some audience members frowned slightly at the unstable camerawork, but they were soon captivated by the content on screen, completely forgetting about such minor flaws.

Everyone stared intently at the big screen, their bodies unconsciously leaning forward or back with the action on screen.

Their emotions were completely stirred, following in Feng Shan’s footsteps as they navigated through those hardships and dangers together.

After the video finished playing, the venue fell silent.

The entire audience remained immersed in the tense and shocking emotions, unable to break free for a long time.

As an excellent and ambitious host,

Eva naturally knew how to command the room.

She walked gracefully toward Feng Shan with rhythmic steps.

The design of her gown was truly clever. Not only did it accentuate her curvaceous figure, but its excellent support also made her every step sexy and charming.

The hem of her gown swayed gently with her steps, creating a unique and devilishly captivating rhythm.

This unique rhythm seemed to possess an invisible pull, causing Feng Shan’s gaze to drift over involuntarily.

Even though he was well aware this was a formal awards ceremony, he couldn’t immediately tear his eyes away.

"Wow, nice set, beautiful!" Suddenly, Loki, perched on Feng Shan’s shoulder, blurted out.

When Feng Shan heard this, his head buzzed. He nearly short-circuited on the spot, and his face instantly turned beet red.

’Oh no,’ he thought, desperately hoping no one around had heard that incredibly inappropriate comment.

Luckily, the audience was still absorbed in the thrilling scenes from the video.

Everyone’s minds were still preoccupied with those heart-stopping acts of heroism, so no one paid much attention to what was happening over here.

On top of that, the microphone in Eva’s hand wasn’t on, so Loki’s reckless shout was, for the moment, only heard by Feng Shan and Eva. It was a blessing in disguise.

"Shut up, Loki!" Feng Shan warned in an angry whisper, his eyes full of exasperation. ’This clueless bird has gotten me into trouble again.’

Eva didn’t seem offended by Loki’s crude compliment; in fact, she seemed to enjoy the praise.

She subconsciously straightened her back, making her already impressive assets seem even more magnificent in the gown, as if they were about to break free from their confinement for a breath of fresh air.

Her eyes glistened, and she stared right at Feng Shan, her gaze so intense it was practically smoldering, full of a distinct invitation.

"Feng, it’s okay. Don’t be nervous later. Did you look at the lines I gave you beforehand?"

’You gave them to me?’

’Didn’t Frank give them to me?’

’Damn, there’s something off about the way this woman is looking at me. It’s like she wants to eat me alive.’

’You’re Frank’s girlfriend.’

Feng Shan paused at her words, confused at first. Then, he took an imperceptible half-step back. "I’ve read them."

Eva seemed to understand his reaction.

’In her eyes, men from the East were all so reserved and modest. They didn’t know how to flaunt themselves with the abandon of Western men, and they always had a subtle charm that made you want to slowly uncover their mysteries.’

’But that’s okay. After spending a few more days with me, he’ll definitely get used to it. Maybe then Feng Shan will become as bold and forward as Frank.’

At this thought, Eva’s sensual lips curved into a meaningful smile. She nodded at Feng Shan and spoke in a soft, reassuring tone.

"I’ll get started then."

With that, Eva turned on the microphone, her movements elegant and swift.

She slightly adjusted her posture, straightening her back to make herself look more dignified and graceful.

Then, facing the still-silent hall, she spoke, her voice clear and powerfully captivating.

"Distinguished guests, we have just watched the gripping and deeply moving footage of Mr. Feng Shan’s heroic deeds. I believe everyone here, like myself, is filled with admiration and is profoundly touched."

"Mr. Feng Shan is like a guardian of our vast Alaskan lands. No matter the hardship or danger, he steps forward without a moment’s hesitation, his actions the very definition of courage and duty."

Eva elegantly took an exquisite envelope from her assistant. It was made of high-quality paper and shimmered faintly under the lights.

She gently opened the envelope, all the while keeping Feng Shan in her peripheral vision. After reading the contents, her lips curved slightly upward, and she shot Feng Shan a flirtatious smile.

The smile was both congratulatory and yet held a distinct allure, as if laced with threads of intimacy that made Feng Shan flustered all over again.

Then, Eva took a deep breath, straightened her posture, and declared in a loud, powerful, and excited voice.

"I now announce that Mr. Feng Shan has been awarded the 2017 Alaska Medal of Honor."

The audience below was stunned for a moment, then erupted into thunderous applause—fervent and prolonged, as if it would tear the roof off and carry for miles.

Everyone rose to their feet, clapping enthusiastically. Their faces beamed with sincere smiles, and their eyes shone with congratulations and admiration for Feng Shan.
