The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 442

"You annoying fool, I have to see what kind of surprise you've got for me? If it's not a surprise, you better watch how I'll deal with you!" Madison grumbled but ultimately handed over a hundred bucks.

Daniel unfolded 'The Red Cloud' in his hand and pointed at it triumphantly to Smart. "See this moron? This is the genuine Piet Mondrian I got for a hundred bucks. You lost, so get on your knees and call me grandpa!"

Smart replied with a cold laugh, followed by a mocking response. "Country boy, what are you saying? You're calling that thing a genuine Mondrian? Anyone with eyes can see it's just a print."

"A print? Oh, Smart, you are living up to your nickname. Here I am with a real Piet Mondrian and you're calling it a print? You spent nine billion on what's clearly a fake and you think it's real. It’s clear now, you can’t tell real from fake."

Daniel turned to look at Xavier with a smile, "Xavier, as the leading appraiser and the president of the Antiques Association, what do you think of my 'The Red Cloud' by Piet Mondrian?"

"I think? Ha!", Xavier let out a scornful laugh and said coldly, "You call that a painting? It's a print, worth maybe five dollars on a street stall, if anyone would even take it."

Pausing, Leo continued his ridicule of Daniel, "Although that basket is all profit, it sells poorly. Just look at the thick layer of dust on it. They hardly ever sell because fools like this country boy here are rare. It takes a long time to find one!"

Hearing Leo's words, Smart burst into roaring laughter. "Ha ha ha ha..."

After laughing, Smart, full of mockery, asked Daniel, "Did you hear that, country boy? Leo said your 'The Red Cloud'—he got a whole basket for ten bucks. Each one cost less than ten cents and you? You paid a hundred dollars for it."
