Chapter 72 One Word for One Hundred Million Dollars
Seeing Leones laughing for no reason, Bob could no longer hold back his voice and asked, “What are you laughing at?”
“Do you doubt the authenticity of this handwriting?”
Leones shook his head slightly. “Nothing.”
After all, for this kind of antique handwriting, it was initially challenging to say whether it was real or fake.
Bob had opened his store to do business, and they weren’t here to trash the place, so there was no need to make it unpleasant for everyone by poking them face to face.
As long as they were those heavenly treasures that truly cured the sick and saved lives and were not fake, it would be fine.
Leones was not going to be nosy.
“Hmph!” Bob grunted, displeased with the attitude of Leones. Why didn’t he pretend to understand?
“Bob, how much does this authentic handwriting of Eleanor cost?” Gloria couldn’t help but ask. She thought that if she had money left over later, she could consider it.
Bob laughed and said, “It’s our treasure, and we’re not selling it for a while. After all, Mr. Harrison went through a lot of trouble to get it.”
“But Mr. Harrison was chatting with a friend over dinner once, and he mentioned that if it were to be auctioned in the future, it would cost at least one word for 100 million dollars!”
One word for 100 million dollars?
There were twenty–eight words in this authentic handwriting of the Sunshine After Snow, which was worth a total of 2.8 billion dollars!
This was a truly heavenly price!
Once this valuation was uttered, it shocked the entire crowd!
Even Gloria, who was rich and powerful, couldn’t help but be jaw–dropped and shocked.
This price was something she couldn’t accept either.
“So expensive?” Leones was also taken aback when he heard the price.
He didn’t expect Eleanor’s handwriting to be so valuable.
Although he had followed his thirty–fifth Master, Tom, and learned his ability to imitate and fake all over, the value of antique calligraphy and paintings was supposed to vary from person to person, and the market changed quickly, so Leones didn’t understand the relevant quotations. “This is the normal price!”
At this time, Baxter continued his introduction.
“This true handwriting of Eleanor was auctioned in ancient times and was worth seven hundred taels of gold!”
“According to the current rate of inflation, Eleanor’s words, one word for 100 million, would have been the normal market price.”
“Unfortunately, on the market, there are not many authentic handwritings that can be seen in the first place.”

Everyone nodded after hearing this.
After hearing Baxter’s words, everyone stopped being shocked. So this was the normal price. But Leones understood in his heart that there was no authentic handwriting on the market. These were all copies, but even if they were, they had gone out of print several times over.
According to Tom, the so–called authentic works on the market now are actually from his hand.
In other words, Tom’s imitation handwriting had been certified by the professional field as Eleanor’s authentic handwriting. He could completely fake the real thing, and his influence was far–reaching.
“Alas, unfortunately…” said Gloria, shaking her head slightly in disbelief.
“This is really priceless.” Darius also marveled repeatedly. “Who can afford it at this price in general?”
“Not bad!” Baxter said again, “Eleanor’s real handwriting would have been priced out of the market. Even if there were occasional buyers, most of them were overseas descendants who bought them as family heirlooms.”
