Upon hearing that, irritation began to fester in the bottom of Edwin's heart.
With a tinge of anger in his voice, he retorted, "No way! A painting for ten million? Isn't this straight up extortion? I came here with honest intentions, but you guys are asking for the moon!"
There was blatant fury in Edwin's tone.
The way he saw it, Bright was committing daylight robbery.
Bright narrowed his eyes slightly, listening to the loud voice leaking out from the phone receiver.
Slowly, he said, "Hmph! Daylight robbery, he says? If that's the case, tell him that the price of this painting has just gone up! 50 million for a piece. Take it or leave it!"
Bright made that statement without hesitation.
"Five…"
At that moment, Niamh's eyes widened in surprise!
50 million for one painting?
That wasn't just a sky high price anymore! It really was more like extortion.
Swallowing hard, Niamh seemed hesitant.
