Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 2063

Old Madam Bane's birthday was fast approaching. So, Tritus, her god-grandson, naturally had to prepare for the big day.

Hence, in order to choose a few birthday presents, he came to the business premise run by his family, The Whimsical Antiquities Emporium.

Yet, he couldn't believe the world would be so small that he would stumble upon his enemy on his family's business premises.

"Hold up." Tritus shot a smug glance at Matthew while he approached them before he continued, "We won't sell you this painting!"

Since enemies naturally loathed each other when they met, Tritus was using this rare opportunity to cause trouble for Matthew. He had overheard their conversation earlier and knew that Matthew was interested in this painting, so there was no way he would let this chance slip by his gleeful fingers.

"What's the matter? Are you riding roughshod over your customers just because your store is the largest in this piazza?"

Matthew also couldn't believe the random store he found in the antiquities piazza would turn out to be under the Lullaby Family's management. To make matters worse, he had even run into Tritus here.

Tritus had to smother a triumphant grin when he saw that he had Matthew under his thumb. Hah, I wonder how it feels to be so close yet so far from the object of your desire, dear Matthew.

Nonetheless, he had a malicious smirk on his lips as he said disdainfully, "That's right. We're riding roughshod over our customers. What of it? Are you thinking of pulling a daylight robbery?"

Matthew certainly wouldn't bother wasting his time on Tritus if it were any other antique. Honestly, he would just turn around and leave.

But the item in question was the painting, Two Swallows in a Spring Pond. It was the original artwork by Sir Micah! This was such a steal that he refused to allow this purchase to pass him by.

Matthew knew he might never have the chance to buy it for the rest of his life if he missed it due to his irritation with Tritus.
