Brian ignored him and unrolled two paintings next to him. "Hey, have you read too many fantasy novels? Do you think the canvas for these paintings is some kind of agarwood or something?" "I'm telling you, don't be delusional, I've seen it, this is the most common wood material and even both added together is not worth tens of thousands." Brian continued to ignore Ricky's rambling, he picked up the painting on the left and unrolled the wooden scroll. Seeing his movement, even Jacob furrowed his brow, clearly this person wanted to find something from the painting scroll, but this was just ordinary wood, so what else could there be? However, at this moment, a scene that shocked everyone occurred. Brian raised his hand and lightly tapped the wooden stick. The seemingly smooth piece of wood split into two and the middle part turned out to be hollow, revealing a very neatly rolled scroll. "Oh my God, there is actually a universe in this scroll." "The craftsmanship is too fine. No matter how you look at it, the object is just a piece of wood. I didn't expect it to be hollow inside." "How did this person see it? Could he have X-ray vision? He really knew that there was a universe inside that painting scroll." "It doesn't matter. What matters is to see what's in the painting scroll. If it's fake, there's no point in finding out." As everyone discussed, all eyes were focused on the painting scroll in Brian's hand. Jacob said with shining eyes, "Young man, open it and take a look." He already felt that, if hidden so tightly, then the painting must not be ordinary. Brian gently untied the ribbon on the painting scroll and slowly unrolled it. Everyone's eyes were focused on the painting, then they found that on it was written a famous proverb from the "Book of Commandments" by a strategist from Shu named Sleeping Dragon, "Only by not pursuing fame and wealth, can one have noble aspirations, a stable and calm mind, unaffected by disturbances. Only through contemplation and introspection can noble goals be achieved." In the bottom right corner of the painting was his family motto and on the back was printed the seal with the name Raden Agung. In terms of content, this painting seemed exactly the same as the one that was just torn apart, but the writing inside was truly different. It was only seen that the character structure in this calligraphy and painting was square and firm, the strokes were light and clear, the strokes were thick and straight as well as wide and strong. Jacob stood beside him. Initially, he still looked like a relaxed man, but when he saw the handwriting on the painting, he immediately looked like a different person. He stepped forward and said enthusiastically, "A real work, this is a work of Raden Agung. This is truly very rare." Ricky was stunned there, and he never thought that there really was an original work of Raden Agung hidden in this painting. Generally, when the painting scroll was in their hands, they would examine it carefully. Every layer and piece of wood would be carefully re-examined. Afraid that some treasure might fall from their hands. However, he did not expect that the wood of this painting scroll actually had space. At this moment, a spectator next to him asked, "Mr. Jacob, what is the value of this painting?" After staring at the painting for a long time, Jacob reluctantly tore his gaze away and said, "A few days ago, at an auction in Hong Kong, an authentic work of Raden Agung was sold for six billion, even though the painting was not as large as this one.""Based on the quality of this calligraphy and painting, I think it's worth at least ten billion." "Oh my, just a painting alone is so expensive?" "The man bought it for ten million and he can sell it for ten billion in the blink of an eye. It's too profitable." "What do you know? Generally, calligraphy and paintings are sold by size, authentic works of Raden Agung are definitely worth their price." In the surrounding conversation, Jacob said to Brian, "Young man, honestly, I personally like Raden Agung's calligraphy and paintings the most, can you sell it to me?" "The price is easy to say, I will never make you lose, twelve billion, what do you think?" Brian thought about it, the price was indeed quite fair. What he wanted was his magical weapon and he didn't care at all about antique calligraphy and paintings. Thinking about this, he said, "In that case, I will sell it to Mr. Jacob.""My friend, thank you. If you have any questions about antiques in the future, you can find me. I will definitely help you." With a happy face, Jacob took out a checkbook from his pocket, wrote a check for twelve billion and handed it to Brian, then carefully stored the original work of Raden Agung. Ricky was almost stunned beside him, he forcibly gave a price of ten million for calligraphy and paintings worth twelve billion. Seeing the check in Brian's hand, he felt very regretful. "Boss Ricky, have you seen enough? Isn't it time for our bet to end?" Jacob said, "Boss Ricky, you have lost in this bet. Quickly pay this friend." "I...." Seeing the painting worth twelve billion gone, now he even had to pay four hundred million in betting money to someone else, it was like cutting flesh from Ricky's body. However, Jacob was a fair person, so he had no idea of cheating at all, otherwise, he would not be able to survive in the antique world in the future. In desperation, he could only take out his phone and transfer four hundred million to Brian. After transferring it, Jacob said, "Friend, can you tell me how you knew that there was something else in the wooden stick?" This was something he didn't understand. With his expertise in antiques, he didn't see any flaw to know that. So he was very curious how Brian could find it. Brian smiled and said, "There's no special way, it was just a coincidence." Jacob shook his head slightly, he couldn't find any other reason for something like this other than coincidence. Jacob gave his business card to Brian and said, "Friend, I see that you have a lot of knowledge about antiques. If you have something good, you can contact me directly." "Okay."Brian had a good impression of Jacob and immediately put the business card in his pocket. After that, he didn't linger in this antique shop anymore. He continued to search for his magical weapon after leaving the place. After everyone left, three tall and strong men entered from the outside door, then their leader, a dark-skinned man, said to Ricky, "Brother, what should we do? We can't just watch this kid take so much money from us." His name was John Sitola, he and Ricky were in the same group. On weekdays, these people dug graves and robbed tombs. They often staged accidents. If Jacob hadn't been here earlier, they wouldn't have let Brian leave so easily. Ricky gritted his teeth and said, "Of course I won't let him go. The person who can take advantage of us has not been born yet!" John said, "What should we do? Should we go and kill the kid, then take back his money?"Ricky said, "How many times have I told you, fighting and killing should be the last resort. If we act recklessly, we could all end up in jail." Beside him, Lukas asked, "Brother, what do you think we should do?" Ricky rolled his eyes and replied, "Let's think clearly, let's trap him first, then we take his money, if that fails, then we resort to violence."
