Dauntless God Of War novel Chapter 168

He asked if they would like to take a look at it.

Pauline thought Vivian was trying to build a close relationship with them.

Besides, the news of the God of War's return had been on the trending topics in the past two days. That made them suspect that Harold was deceiving them with a fake identity.

They wanted to check out the calligraphy of God of War, too, so that they could take a picture and compare it to Harold's calligraphy to identify the latter's identity when they go home.

Thus, they gladly accepted Vivian's “kind offer.”

Before leaving, Vivian put down the calligraphy artwork and said that she would come back the next day to pick it up.

The two returned to their room and unfolded the artwork with the words Loyalty to the Country written on it in beautiful calligraphy.

In the next instant, they were dumbfounded as the artwork had been torn in half, right down the middle.

Soon, they came to a realization.

It had to be Vivian or Yulian who had accidentally destroyed the artwork and were now planning to use them as scapegoats.

They hurriedly checked the price of the artwork online, only to discover that it cost as high as five million, and there was still room for continuous appreciation.

Benson and Pauline were so frightened that they could not sleep all night.

They had no choice but to call their son-in-law, Harold, for help the next day.

However, what they tried to conceal was revealed before Harold and Isabella arrived, and no one believed their explanations.

“Don't worry. If Harold managed to get a helicopter from Paradise Hotel effortlessly and order someone like Dr. Thompson around, he'll be able to handle such a small matter even if he's not the real God of War,” Benson calmly reassured his wife.

“Are you two done discussing? This calligraphy artwork with the words Loyalty to the Country was written by the God of War to motivate the soldiers before that great war began. It's unique, and there's only one in the whole world. I spent five million to buy it because I was planning to give it to Old Mr. Rivera as a gift. However, you two actually tore it apart! How are you going to compensate me for this?”

A majestic-looking middle-aged man stood in front of Benson and Pauline, pointing a finger at them while questioning them in rage.

The expressions of all the guests at the scene changed drastically upon hearing the price of five million.

Five million for one calligraphy artwork? Only the calligraphy of the God of War can be sold so expensively in these modern times...

Although Benson and Pauline already knew the price, they were still astonished.

There was no way they could cough up that much money on the spot, so they could only hope that Harold would arrive soon.

“Ha! You said it was written by the God of War, but who knows the verity of that statement? My son-in-law is an expert in this field. When he arrives, he'll be able to tell at a glance whether this calligraphy is genuine,” said Pauline stubbornly upon noticing everyone's gaze on them.

After she finished speaking, she shot daggers at Vivian.

When the Riveras heard Pauline's words, their expressions darkened at once.

Vivian did not avoid Pauline's hostile gaze but walked out of the crowd and glared at the latter.

“Pauline, do you know who this is?”

Before Pauline could answer, Vivian added, “He's the third richest man in Newcove, Yuvan Jennings, with assets exceeding 50 billion. Moreover, he's also a well-known collector in the country and the vice-chairman of Newcove Antiques Association. Do you think he would ruin his reputation by gifting someone a fake calligraphy artwork?”

Vivian continued to put pressure on Pauline.

“You...”

Pauline was unable to utter a word when faced with Vivian's forceful statements.

“Pauline, you were ignorant when you were young and got pregnant before marriage, but we never thought you'd still be so shameless after more than twenty years.”
