The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 449 Coward

Regarding why the canvas was so pristine, Xavier really couldn't understand; he racked his brain but could not come up with a convincing explanation.

Madison, with her sharp intellect, immediately sensed something fishy when Xavier expressed a desire to purchase the painting and even offered a million dollars for it.

Before Madison could respond to Xavier’s offer, Daniel interjected, “Xavier, you're really something, aren't you? Trying to con someone as beautiful and innocent as Madison. To think that you would attempt to acquire her ten-billion-dollar genuine Piet Mondrian with a mere million. Can you really live with your conscience trying to swindle a young lady like that?”

“This painting isn’t a genuine Mondrian, it’s a replica. How could the canvas of an original be so new?”

Daniel didn’t even bother with Xavier after that. Wrapping an arm around Madison's waist, he said cheerfully, "Let’s go, Madison!"

As the two left, Leo was itching with frustration. Even though he didn't believe the painting was a real Mondrian, Xavier's million-dollar bid suggested he had sold the painting for far too little.

Watching Daniel slip his arm around Madison's waist, and seeing how she didn't resist, Smart was gritting his teeth in jealousy and rage. After nearly grinding his molars to dust, he turned to Xavier.

“Xavier, why would you offer a million for that painting? Could it actually be a real Mondrian?”

"Uh... Well..."

Xavier hesitated before saying, “There's a lot about that painting that indeed looks like the real deal. It's just that canvas... it’s too new. After hundreds of years, the canvas of a true original wouldn't look so fresh."

“If that painting is real, does that mean the 'The Red Cloud' at my place is a fake?”
