Chapter 45 The Golden Paper is Damaged Nicholas didn't respond immediately; Instead, he took a closer look at the painting with his magnifying glass. After a thorough evaluation, he finally offered his conclusion.

"This painting has been crumpled into this state; it looks very unlikely to be restored. Furthermore, I've noticed that sof the golden threads within have been snapped. That means this Golden Paper has been destroyed. Before the damage, it could have been valued at thirty million. Now, its value has plummeted, and even at a price of three million, you might find it hard to locate a buyer." Nicholas turned to Daniel with a puzzled expression. "Daniel, based on your earlier actions, you seem to understand what one should not do. Since you were able to bring out this Golden Paper painting, you should also know that if the golden threads are damaged, its value plummets. So why do this? Is your intent to destroy it?" Brittany chimed in with disdain, "He was just lucky before. He thinks doing this will increase its value. But not only did it not appreciate; the most valuable Golden Paper was ruined!" Daniel laid the Golden Paper painting flat on the table and said with a chuckle, "Brittany, would you mind running another errand for me?" "You... You jerk! You still wantto do things for you?" "Brittany, if he asks you to go, then go." "Jessica, he's just bullying me." "And what about when you bully others?" "I... Hmph!" Brittany stomped her high heel and glared at Daniel irritably, "What do you want to buy?" "Another bottle of vodka, this tover thirty years old." "Vodka aged over thirty years? That could cost hundreds of thousands!" "If you don't get the thirty-year-old vodka, this Golden Paper painting will be worthless. You might not even get three million for it from Smiley Nick. But if you manage to find a thirty-year bottle, the value of this Golden Paper painting could instantly soar to over two hundred million." At the mention of two hundred million, Jessica's eyes gleamed, and she commanded Brittany, "Go buy it; we're not short on cash!" "This loser's just spouting nonsense. He's just making fun of me. Jessica, you need to see through his trickery!" "He can't fool me. If I tell you to go buy, then just go. If the hundreds of thousands we spend don't turn this Golden Paper into a two hundred million dollar piece, I will definitely punish him." 'Fine, I'll go and buy the alcohol. I don't believe a mere bottle will make any difference! Chapter 45 The Golden Paper is Damaged Of course, Brittany didn't believe Daniel; she thought he was simply teasing her on purpose. So, with resentful eyes, she finally left to find the booze.

Thirty-year-old vodka wasn't easy to cby. After inquiring at numerous stores and a frustrating hour she finally secured a bottle at the astronomical price of five hundred thousand dollars.

Brittany placed the thirty-year-old vodka on the table, reminding m Jessica, "This bottle costhalf a million, not three thousand like the regular one we got earlier. If he wastefully messes this up, it would be such a waste."

"Don't worry; I know what I'm doing. If he squanders this half a million. dollars worth of vodka and fails 'to' e make the Golden Paper painting worth two hundred million, I'll take care of him," Jessica assured her, watching Daniel with gritted teeth. 1 "Punish him severely!" she emphasized.
