At this point, Bob drew Gloria aside again alone and whispered something in her ear.
Onlookers couldn’t hear it, but Leones had good hearing and could hear it clearly.
“Ms. Baker was an old patron here. I’ve heard that Mr. Baker can’t get enough of Eleanor’s handwriting. If the Baker family is really interested in the writing, Mr. Harrison has also said that it can be given away cheaply!”
“Really?” Gloria was shocked and delighted when she heard that. “How much would that cost?”
Even if it was cheap, twenty–eight words would be an outrageous price.
Bob reached out and pressed down slightly. “We can give the Baker family a 50% discount!”
A 50% discount, 1.4 billion?
It was still a heavenly price, but Gloria frowned and thought about it. That price would be something for the Baker family to consider.
She also thought about Orlando’s fear that he would soon pass away, and even if he obtained the elixir to renew his life, it would only be a year of life, she feared.
If he got a genuine handwriting of Eleanor in the last year of his life, to be accompanied by it daily and to look at it for a few moments, he would have no regrets!
Seeing Gloria begin to hesitate, contemplate, and want to get it, Bob had a hint of slyness on his face.
At the same time, he made an imperceptible eye contact with Baxter.
None of this escaped Leones‘ eyes and attention.
So it was!
Leones was lost in his mind when he saw this.
Bob and Baxter seemed to be working together to make a scam to trap the Baker family.
If it was anyone else, it would have been fine.
But since Leones came along, how could he stand by and do nothing?
“Bob!” Gloria snapped back. She wasn’t stupid. If something was discounted 50% at once, there must be something fishy. “Why are you selling us such an expensive item for half the price?”

Bob laughed and said, “Mr. Harrison, I’ve admired Mr. Baker for a long time. But this time, I want to offer help for the Baker family, and I hope you can treat me with more care in the future.”
Mr. Baker’s energy was indeed able to attract a lot of flatterers.
Gloria was not surprised by this and had long since looked down on it.
“I’ll go back and discuss this with my grandfather,” Gloria finally said.
“Okay, okay!” Bob saw something was up and nodded with a smile.
They put in a long line to catch a big fish and were not in a hurry at that moment. All of this today was just the beginning.
“Ms. Baker, do you really want to buy this piece of handwriting?” John inquired uneasily. He also heard the same conversation between the two just now and felt that there was something fishy
about it.
“Yes.” Gloria nodded. “My grandfather’s favorite handwriting was Eleanor’s, but unfortunately, he was never able to buy a real pair of his own. I thought…”
“Then I’ll write one for Mr. Baker someday!” At that moment, Leones suddenly interjected.
“Besides Eleanor, I’ll write Xavier, Bon, Quentin, and others. I’ll write whoever
you want.”

What?
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
For a moment, everyone didn’t seem to understand the meaning of Leones’s words.
What did Leones mean when he wrote the characters of these great calligraphers as gifts? “Mr. Bloom is so brave!”
Bob couldn’t help but sneer.
“Why these twenty–eight characters are worth so much? Because they were written by Eleanor!” “Who are you, and how much is your written word worth?”
Faced with Bob’s disdain, Leones fought back proudly. “I can write the same words as Eleanor’s!” “Anyway, Eleanor’s original work has long been extinct. As long as there are ninety percent similarities in the imitation of later generations, it is enough to misunderstand people!” “For example, your store’s!”
What?
There was a silence in the scene.
Everyone looked at Leones as a madman, showing disbelief.
“Who is he? So arrogant!”
“Even Mr. Cage has personally verified that it is the authentic work of Eleanor. How dare he object? Is he more authoritative than Mr. Cage?”
“I think he is crazy. How dare he say that he can write the same characters!? He’s just daydreaming!”
At this time, Bob laughed when he heard his words.
“How dare you question our store’s treasure?”
“I’m not targeting your store.” Leones said frankly, “I mean that all the authentic works of Eleanor on the market are fake!”
There was another uproar at the scene.
“You can’t talk indiscriminately!” Baxter was furious. “Besides this one, there is a real collection of Eleanor in the museum!”
“That’s also false!” Leones said bluntly.
When Baxter heard this, he almost lost his temper.
“You said you could write the same characters?” Bob challenged again. “Show us!”
“Yeah, show us!”
Seeing that Leones was young, Bob decided that he was bluffing and talking nonsense.
It was not easy to imitate Eleanor’s authentic works.
Bob thought that as long as Leones wrote a few words casually, he could reveal his secrets and expose his lies on the spot.
Of course, Bob didn’t think that Leones dared to write on the spot, but he was just boasting!
“OK!”

Leones waved his hand and said lightly, “Give me paper
“I’ll just write a random work for you to see!” Hearing this, Bob was startled.
He didn’t expect Leones to do it.
and a pen!”
Baxter was also shocked, not understanding what Leones wanted to do.
“Mr. Bloom?” Gloria and the others were also surprised. They didn’t know why Leones was suddenly serious about this matter.
“Hero?” Darius reminded in a low voice, “Although you are very good at fighting and medicine, this is calligraphy! Can you do it?”
When the matter developed to this point, Leones said frankly, “Ms. Baker, they sell this authentic painting to you at a reduced price just to set up a trick to deceive your family. Since you asked me to help you, how can I stand by?”
Gloria was shocked again when she heard this.
For a while, it was difficult to tell the truth from the false, and she didn’t know who to believe.
“Don’t slander us!”
Bob became angry from embarrassment.
And he was eager to stop Leones speaking, so he hurriedly said,
“Okay, you want to write? I’ll prepare a pen and paper for you right away, so you can write as much
as you want!”
“If you can’t write it, Antique World will show no mercy to you!”
While talking, a staff member brought pens, paper, and a small table.
Everything was all ready.
“Mr. Bloom, please!” Bob said with a smile, “Let us see the authentic work of Eleanor!”
Immediately, everyone at the scene looked at Leones in unison.
More people were gloating.
Seeing that Leones was so young, everyone thought that after learning calligraphy for a few days, Leones was so arrogant that he dared to imitate Eleanor’s authentic handwriting.
As long as he wrote, he would be exposed!
“OK!”
Leones directly picked up the pen and quickly wrote down the first sentence of Eleanor’s famous work.
His ability would be proved by his work.
When Baxter saw the several characters written by Leones, he was shocked and couldn’t help but gasp!
It turned out to be the same!
