The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5713

A large group of people were incited and began mocking Jacob.

Jacob said coldly, “You people really don't know what you're talking about. How could I not have any fine artwork? It's just that some of the artworks are too exquisite and it’s not convenient for me to take it out!”

At this moment, Jacob had already imagined himself as the client mentioned by Charlie.

When the others heard Jacob boasting, they sneered disdainfully and did not take him seriously at all.

Jacob did not say much and placed the cylinder containing the painting directly on the large desk used for display and appraisal in the Calligraphy and Painting Association, and he said, “Here, I’ll let you see a piece of ancient painting that I picked up today!”

“Pfft…” The disdain on the faces of everyone present was even more apparent.

Calligraphy and painting were not easy to preserve, and the paper used for traditional Oskian painting, although diverse, was almost never as tough as Western canvases. It could be damaged easily over time, and preserving it was even more difficult.

Works of art that had truly been passed down from ancient times were almost all masterpieces that had been carefully protected by generations of people. When Jacob claimed to have picked up an ancient painting, it was only natural that no one believed him.

When Jacob saw that nobody seemed to be paying him any attention, he couldn't help but feel annoyed and said, “You still don't believe me, huh? Alright! Since you don't believe me, I'll let you see it for yourselves, then!”

“I don't think it looks like the painting style from ancient times. Their painting shouldn’t be so skillful back then.”

“That's right! If there were such a talented painter in ancient times, they would have been famous long ago!”

As everyone began to question it, the old man who had been mocking Jacob earlier couldn't help but exclaim, “My goodness, this… the skill of this artist is simply extraordinary! This is honestly the first time I've seen something like this. Leaving aside everything else, the painting skill is too strong. Every stroke is perfect, and the details are so rich that it's breathtaking. Even those who have been painting their whole lives may not achieve such brushwork!”

What he said was true. It was really difficult for ordinary people to achieve this level of brushwork.
