The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 444 Fetch and Carry

Smart was fuming with anger as he glared at Daniel, "On what grounds do you say that the painting my grandpa bought for half a billion dollars is a fake?"

"On what grounds? Oh, Smart, you're really not the sharpest tool in the shed, are you? There's only one 'The Red Cloud' by Piet Mondrian, and this one is the original. So, naturally, if I have the real one, the one your grandpa's got must be a fake!"

"Your words alone don't make it real. It's just a print! Who are you trying to fool by claiming it's authentic?"

"If I say it's real, then obviously, I have a way to prove 'The Red Cloud' is genuine."

"You have proof? How will you prove it?" Smart asked, brimming with curiosity.

Daniel didn't reply directly but instead turned to Madison with a smile, "Madison, could you run down and buy me a lighter and also a bottle of vodka?"

Madison's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Daniel, "Country boy, what do you mean by that?"

"Nothing much! Just need you to grab a couple of things."

"What do you mean, 'a couple of things'? You want me to run errands for you? Am I your servant or something?"

"Madison, that painting is yours after all. Don't you want to find out whether it's truly 'The Red Cloud'? If it's an authentic Mondrian?"

Daniel's remark left Madison flabbergasted. She stared at him incredulously, "You're claiming that painting is a genuine Mondrian? Are you sure you're not joking? You're not just messing with me,
