Chapter 2066 The Wonder of Two Swallows in a Spring Pond


    "Allow me to exin, old man." Matthew approached the focused Old Mr. Bane.


    Matthew was aware of Micah''s habit. The artist''s name was intricately hidden in the painting, so it was


    difficult to discern.


    Silence settled in the air for a long time before Old Mr. Bane straightened his back. "My eyesight is


    following my age. Mr. Larson is the name, right? Tell me. I''m all ears. What are you standing there


    absentmindedly for? Didn''t you promise to buy me a gift? Are you trying to take back your words by not


    recognizing me?"


    Only then did Matthew recognize that the old man was the head of the Bane Family. It was no wonder


    that he had such skills. "Greetings, Old Master Bane. I''m Matthew Larson. I apologize for my rudeness.


    I hope you won''t take it to heart."


    Old Mr. Bane was the most powerful person in Bainbridge, so it would be unbing of him to


    address him like that. Despite that, Old Mr. Bane did not mind the formality as he lost himself in the


    painting. He acknowledged the apology by merely waving his hand.


    "Old Master Bane." Matthew pointed at the two swallows. "Look at the swallows closely. You''ll see


    there are a few strokes that are slightly darker than the others."


    Hearing that, Old Mr. Bane bent over to take a closer look at the painting. As Matthew had exined,


    some of the lines on the swallows appeared uncoordinated. He moved sideways to change his angle of


    view only to be struck by a discovery—the awkward lines were two nted alphabets, M.W.


    "Aha! It is Sir Micah''s painting! Wonderful, wonderful," murmured Old Mr. Bane as the discovery elicited


    a smile across his lips. Next, he examined the art further, but he was disappointed.Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Noticing his countenance, Matthew pointed out the wonder of the painting straightforwardly instead of


    beating around the bush. "The duckweed is floating in the pond, barely showing a ripple. And look at


    the sky, Old Master Bane. The sun is shining brightly, and there''s a crescent moon hiding behind the


    clouds. The ones thatplete the sky are present at the same time."


    Even a fool could understand what Matthew meant at that point. Excited, Old Mr. Bane held the


    painting gingerly and grinned. "Interesting. Lilium in Summer Pond and Fall Leaves are no match for


    Two Swallows in a Spring Pond."


    In the meantime, Tritus was nonplussed by Old Mr. Bane''s rapturous visage. ording to his


    memories, Old Mr. Bane rarely smiled and always wore a serious mood. Despite the rare encounter


    with the old man, it was the first time he saw Old Mr. Bane smiling so brightly.


    Tritus cast his gaze onto the painting, which provoked a sense of foreboding in him. "Mr. Wadley, are


    you sure you bought it from a stall?"


    "Yeah. I paid for the painting and saw them hanging it on the wall with my eyes." Ajay nodded with


    certainty, reassuring Tritus.


    There''s no need to be happy over a mere counterfeit.


    Old Mr. Bane''s face turned solemn at that. "What''s wrong? Do you think my eyesight is too poor to


    recognize Sir Micah''s painting?" Co?tent of Drаmа?ovels.cоm
