The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 45 The Golden Paper is Damaged

Nicholas didn’t respond immediately; Instead, he took a closer look at the painting with his magnifying glass. After a thorough evaluation, he finally offered his conclusion.

“This painting has been crumpled into this state; it looks very unlikely to be restored. Furthermore, I’ve noticed that some of the golden threads within have been snapped. That means this Golden Paper has been destroyed. Before the damage, it could have been valued at thirty million. Now, its value has plummeted, and even at a price of three million, you might find it hard to locate a buyer.”

Nicholas turned to Daniel with a puzzled expression. “Daniel, based on your earlier actions, you seem to understand what one should not do. Since you were able to bring out this Golden Paper painting, you should also know that if the golden threads are damaged, its value plummets. So why do this? Is your intent to destroy it?”

Brittany chimed in with disdain, “He was just lucky before. He thinks doing this will increase its value. But not only did it not appreciate; the most valuable Golden Paper was ruined!”

Daniel laid the Golden Paper painting flat on the table and said with a chuckle, “Brittany, would you mind running another errand for me?”

“You… You jerk! You still want me to do things for you?”
