Nicholas was astonished! 

A Golden Paper painting with two layers? Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

If this was true, then the painting was a legendary layered painting–and layered paintings were only known to exist in myths and tales. Nicholas looked at the scroll with anticipation; he was willing to spend two hundred million to own such a rarity. He would even apologize to Daniel, kneeling if necessary, to witness this legend come to life. 

With a swift motion and the sound of tearing air, Daniel peeled the painting completely open. The Golden Paper painting split into two: one was silver, and the other was gold. The silver one was a Silver Paper painting, and the golden one, sure enough, a Golden Paper painting. While Silver Paper paintings weren’t 

could still fetch a high price. 

as valuable as Golden Paper ones, they 

Nicholas quickly grabbed his magnifying glass to examine the two paintings. His hands trembled as he peered at the Silver Paper painting–his magnifying glass shaking in his grasp. 

“Gaugin! This Silver Paper painting was painted by Gaugin!” he exclaimed. Then, turning to the Golden Paper painting, “Monet? It’s actually Monet! This Golden Paper painting is by Monet!” 

After his inspection, Nicholas knelt before Daniel with a thud. 

“Daniel, can you sell me these two paintings? I’m willing to pay five hundred million for both!” 

“Five h 

hundred million? That’s a fair price,” Daniel reacted quickly, helping Nicholas to his feet. “Stand up. your apology is sufficient.” 

Thud! Nicholas knelt down again. 

“Master, please accept me as your disciple!” 

“Why a 

are you kneeling again? Get up! I don’t take disciples.” 

“Master, if you don’t accept me, I will stay kneeling here.” 

“Alright, alright! I’ll take you as a disciple, but don’t call me ‘Master. You’re what, 407 50? Calling me 

Master‘ would imply I’m 70 or even 801 So, from now on, just call me Daniel, okay?” 

“Yes! Master!” 

“I told you, don’t call me ‘Master‘ 

“Yes, Master! In the presence of others, I will call you Daniel. If it’s just us, I will call you ‘Master.” 

Leaving Auctiq, something clicked for Jessica, and she looked at Daniel with a grin. “Master Joshua calls you ‘Master Daniel. Don’t tell me he, like Smiley Nick, became your disciple?” 

“Uh…” Daniel scratched his head, admitting, “Yes, that’s correct.” 

“I knew it! If you were just friends, why was Master Joshua so excited that day? It turns out he became

your disciple, too. You scoundrel, do you know who Master Joshua is to dare take him as your disciple? Master Joshua is said to be the most skilled doctor in Estella and the head of The Grants family. How dare you! And Smiley Nick, did you really think he just smiles all the time? If we want to break into the antiques industry, we need his consent. You have no idea who you’re dealing with!” 

“I’m just their master; I’m not marrying them, right, Jessica?” Daniel retorted with a light–hearted comment which immediately earned him a sharp look from Jessica. 

“You’re married?” 

“Uh…” Daniel quickly shook his head, denying, “No!” 

Jessica had forbidden him from going public with their marriage. With Brittany there, he had to deny it. 

Brittany thought to herself: Master Joshua became this loser’s disciple? And Smiley Nick too? Even if it was due to losing a bet, why was this loser so fortunate? I must drive him away! Otherwise, Jessica will only rely on him more and more. 

Brittany’s eyes darted around as she suddenly thought of a plan.
