Bab 236: 236

When these common folk turned to other artists, Alexander spared no time in mocking their work. He would publicly ridicule these artists, tearing apart their efforts with biting critiques and cruel laughter. His words stung more than any physical blow, leaving his victims feeling worthless and defeated. Among those who suffered under Alexander's scorn was a young artist who always looked up to him.

He admired Alexander's skill but was always crushed by his harsh judgments. Every time he presented his work, Alexander's words cut deep, magnifying the admirer's own insecurities and deep-seated shame for not measuring up. Despite his best efforts, he could never escape the shadow of inadequacy cast by Alexander's brilliance and cruelty.
