NovelEnglishChapter 2066 The Wonder of Two Swallows in a Spring Pond
"Allowto explain, old man." Matthew approached the focused Old Mr. Bane.
Matthew was aware of Micah's habit. The artist's nwas intricately hidden in the painting, so it was difficult to
discern.
Silence settled in the air for a long tbefore 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 buya 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. | apologize for my rudeness. | hope you won't
take it to heart."
Old Mr. Bane was the most powerful person in Bainbridge, so it would be unbecoming 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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtstrokes 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 explained, sof
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 slanted 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.
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 that complete
the sky are present at the stime."
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. According 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
the 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. | 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.
"Grandpa, this is a counterfeit." Tritus could not help the urge to reveal the truth because of how bright Old Mr.
Bane's smile was. Rather than enraging him when he discovered the truth, Tritus figured it would be better to
level with Old Mr. Bane then. He would be told off at most anyways.
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?"
The atmosphere sunk to solemnity due to the pressure in his voice, and a weight sat upon Tritus' chest. It was as
though a beast was watching him.
At the stime, Matthew had goosebumps despite knowing he was not the target. That was his instinctive
reaction under sketchy situations.
