Chapter 2064
Although Tritus had seeded in scamming Matthew, he couldn''t help but feel as though he had lost.
The instant he realized that his offer was too low, he silently gestured to Mr. Wadley, who was beside
him, with his eyes.
Mr. Wadley understood what he meant. Thus, he said to Matthew, "Alright, Mr. Larson, pay by card it is.
However, The Whimsical Antiquities Emporium adopts a membership system for its payment.
Therefore, you will need to apply for a membership card if you want to purchase these items."
Matthew didn''t mind at all, for his primary purpose was to get this original artwork by Sir Micah.
"Sure, but can you please make one for me now? I''m in a hurry."
Since Albert was still waiting for him outside, Matthew certainly didn''t want to waste any more time in
this store now that he had chosen the gifts.
"Right away, Mr. Larson. Our members need to pay a credit deposit of…"
Initially, Mr. Wadley wanted to ask for 15 thousand.
Nevertheless, when Tritus shot him a reassuring look to go big, he demanded, "150 thousand. A
deposit of 150 thousand is required."
"Sure, no problem. Just deduct it from the card."
Matthew didn''t hesitate even the slightest.
Of course, he had noticed the two-personedy show between Tritus and Mr. Wadley. He knew that
they were ying him for a fool, but that didn''t matter; he could afford to pay.
For Matthew, forget 150 thousand; he would agree without hesitation even if it cost him 1.5 billion or

even more, as long as he could have this painting.
Regardless, to prevent Tritus froming up with dirty tricks again, Matthew added, "Since it costs a
state that there will be no retrieval of the items I purchase from the store for any reason once the
transaction ispleted. If you wish to retrieve them, the other party can only redeem the items with
an offer three times the market price."
As soon as these words escaped Matthew''s lips, Tritus forced himself to suppress a derisive snigger. I
would have burst outughing if it wasn''t for the fact that the subject of the matter was right in front of
me. Does this idiot really think this Two Swallows in a Spring Pond is an original artwork? Three times
the market price? For a painting from a roadside stand that''s worth 80 dors, and two sets of antiques
worth only 30 thousand, the total cost will still be less than 90 thousand even if it''s tripled. But, of
course, none of that matters at the end of the day. The issue here is what sort of fool would ever think
of redeeming this pile of garbage?
Tritus let out a burst of unrestrained and frankughter as he thought of that. "Sure. Customerse
first. It''s just a contract, anyway. We''ll sign it. We always aim to please our customers, after all."
After he said that, he almost couldn''t hold himself from bursting into raucousughter. The feeling of
revenge is simply too wonderful!
Meanwhile, just as Mr. Wadley was preparing the contract, a gray-haired old man was seen outside the
building of The Whimsical Antiquities Emporium. He was currently leisurely making his way toward the
building.
As soon as Albert saw this old man, he immediately stepped out of the car. "Old Master Bane, why did
youe out by yourself?"
The old man was none other than Old Mr. Bane.
Old Mr. Bane waved off his concern with a dismissive gesture and replied calmly, "Didn''t you say that
Matthew insisted oning to this antiquities piazza to get me some gifts? It just so happens that I
haven''t been out for a while, so I''m here to check if there are any new collections."
Old Mr. Bane''s daily life was mostly routine by now. In addition to practicing some mixed martial arts
and drinking tea, antiquing was one of the few hobbies he particrly enjoyed. He especially cherished
ancient paintings.
"Wait for me here. I''ll go in and browse by myself."
As he spoke, Old Mr. Bane strolled into The Whimsical Antiquities Emporium.
Several shop assistants instantly turned pale with shock as soon as Old Mr. Bane entered through the
entrance.
These panic-stricken staff hurriedly stepped forward to greet Old Mr. Bane.
They stood up straight and lined up in two orderly lines.
"Wee, Old Master Bane."
Old Mr. Bane didn''t react when he saw such a scene. Instead, he intoned calmly, "Didn''t I tell you that
it''s unnecessary to greet me in such a manner? Forget it. None of you listen to what I say. Continue
with what you''re doing. I''m just taking a brief stroll." Updated at Draмаnоvеls.cоm
Therefore, their etiquette should be error-free when serving Old Mr. Bane.
