Chapter 103

“Is this really an authentic piece by Harold Delacruz?” Carlisle asked, eyeing the old man skeptically.

The old man chuckled awkwardly and said, “I can’t guarantee that. You’ll have to judge for yourself.”

Pointing at the “Thousand Stallions” painting, Carlisle said, “Let me see that ‘Thousand Stallions‘ painting first.”

The old man retrieved a pair of white cotton gloves from his pocket and carefully untied the cotton rope binding the scroll before unveiling it.

Carlisle picked up a magnifying glass and began examining the painting closely.

The old man said, “Given your family’s probably extensive collection of antiques, I assume you know a thing or two about them, right?”

Carlisle replied casually, “A little.”

The old man chuckled again. “You’re quite modest.”

Carlisle carefully examined the details of the horses‘ hooves through the magnifying glass and then inspected the seals.

With a sigh, he shook his head and said, “Show me the other painting.”

Without much ado, the old man rolled up the painting and placed it back in the wooden box. He then opened the scroll containing the “Galloping Horses” painting.

Carlisle continued his careful examination with the magnifying glass.
