Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 2066

"Allow me to explain, 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 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 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 explained, 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 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 same time."
