Triumph Above All Chapter 367


    Chapter 367


    Yvonne wanted nothing more than to tell the shopkeeper that Nn was not acquainted with Yulia or


    Skr, and that he should not give them a special discount. Robbing the couple of even a single penny


    gave her immense joy. However, Nn Oakley put out an arm that served as a warning for her not to


    say anything.Cheekily, Skr extended a hand to lower one of the shopkeeper’s raised fingers, leaving


    only one finger pointed in the air. “How about this?” he chuckled dryly.The shopkeeper looked at his


    lone pointed finger. “$1million?” He asked for confirmation from Skr, but he answered his own


    question with a pained, hesitant expression on his face. “Alright, $1million is my best price since you


    are friends with Mr. Oakley here.”He was about to continue posturing when Skr smiled politely and


    spoke. “No, no. You’re mistaken! I meant one thousand dors!”“One… thousand?” the shopkeeper


    nearly spat at him. Skr clearly had no respect for him considering his offer started at $2million.“Sir,


    are you really here to buy an authentic piece of work?” the shopkeeper asked with an offended scowl.


    “How could you offer to buy an original Fontaine for a thousand dors? On ount of Mr. Oakley, I’m


    willing to lower my asking price to $600,000. That’s it, take it or leave it!”Skr chuckled in amusement.


    “Alright then, it’s a deal!” “Sky!” Yulia whispered while tugging on her husband’s sleeve anxiously. She


    was not an art expert by any means, but even she could tell there was something odd about the


    shopkeeper’s behavior. A real Fontaine would easily cost $20million. How could he just arbitrarily lower


    the price to $600,000 just because of Mr. Oakley? Who was he trying to cheat? There was definitely


    something fishy going on! Yulia had to alert her husband somehow.“Don’t worry, dear, I got this,” Skr


    whispered back to his wife, reassuring her. Yulia could only trust that her husband knew what he was


    doing.Skr fished out his credit card from his wallet and passed it to the shopkeeper who was all too


    happy to oblige. After the payment went through, the shopkeeper happily rolled the painting into a case


    and handed it to Skr.“Sir, I’m sure you’re aware of the rules around here, right?” the shopkeeper


    asked as he rolled up the painting into a case for Skr.“Of course. I pay you the money, you give the


    goods, and we go our separate ways. Naturally, even if the painting turns out to be a fake, I won’t ask


    for a refund. Simrly, if the painting turns out to be a real treasure, you can’t ask for it back!” Skr


    told the shopkeeper what he wanted to hear.Nn Oakley, who had kept silent all this while, turned to


    Yvonne with a sly grin. “Yvonne, your cousin’s husband seems like one of those people with too much


    money. A simple painting with some fancy artist’s name pped on made him drool on the carpet! It’s


    so obvious the painting’s a dud though. I wouldn’t even pay $300 for it, let alone $600,000. What a


    joker!Hearing this, the shopkeeper quickly put on a no-nonsense expression. “Sir, you said it yourself


    just now. Once the painting is in your hands, there will be no refunds,” he reiterated.
