Chapter 1729: It's Basic and Not Worth Mentioning
“Hiss!” Before Anjou Taylor could say anything, the beautiful staff member who was holding the painting could not help but gasp.
After that, they looked at the painting on the tray with deep shock and disbelief.
Anjou Prince was also very surprised. “Why do you say that?”
As she spoke, she quickly approached the painting and appraised it seriously.
“It doesn’t look like Michelangelo’s style, nor does it have any unique marks of Michelangelo. I can conclude that it’s not Michelangelo’s work.”
“The paper and the paint used, as well as some historical traces, are in line with the characteristics of that era.”
“Who could this be? And it’s worth hundreds of millions of dollars?”
Anjou Taylor looked at Ye Feng and asked curiously, “Please enlighten me, Mr. Ye.”
Ye Feng smiled, his gaze swept over Anjou Taylor and Anjou Prince. “This question is not complicated.”
“When Michelangelo was at his peak, there were only so many famous painters in the world. Think about it for a moment. Which of these painters like to learn from other people’s works and produce works that are highly respected by later generations? Combined with the characteristics of the artists themselves, I’m sure you’ll find the answer if you look for it in ‘The Last Judgement.\'”
“That’s right!” When Anjou Prince heard this, she seemed to have suddenly come to a realization, and her eyes immediately lit up.
Then, without saying anything else, she quickly picked up the magnifying glass and appraised the painting seriously.
“A famous painter from Michelangelo’s era who likes to learn from others…” Anjou Taylor also seemed to be enlightened. His body shook slightly, and he walked to his daughter’s side to observe.
“Using sketches as the foundation! The lines were hard and soft! He was especially good at using slanted lines of varying density to express the subtle changes in light and shadow! The details are extremely detailed…” After observing for a moment, he raised his head.
“It’s the characteristic of Da Vinci! It’s his work!”
Anjou Prince also put down her magnifying glass. Her eyes were filled with shock. “The painting is indeed full of the characteristics of Da Vinci’s strokes.”
“Most importantly, there are records in unofficial history that Da Vinci had learned from the best of the best. He especially liked to learn and imitate the paintings of other famous artists!”
“This should be the work he learned from Michelangelo!”
Ye Feng nodded slowly. “This is the work of Da Vinci, it is not too much to value it at one hundred million, right?”
“Not too much, not too much at all!” Anjou Prince nodded repeatedly. “Da Vinci’s paintings have always been a rare commodity in the collectibles market!”
“Moreover, almost every well-preserved piece of work was sold at 100 million dollars in the auction house!”
“Its estimate of 100 million dollars is very reasonable!”
Anjou Taylor picked up “The Last Judgement” and looked at Ye Feng with approval in his eyes. “Mr Ye, you have brought me another huge surprise.”
“This mystery has troubled the collectibles world of Sun Never Sets for many years, and it has been solved by you so easily.”
“I’m impressed by your antique appraisal skills!”
“It’s basic and not worth mentioning.” Ye Feng only smiled. “Uncle Taylor, you should start the next test as soon as possible.”
“Alright.” Anjou Taylor didn’t say much. He nodded slightly and turned to his assistant. “Get Roubin to come over.”
Evans Husheng immediately picked up his phone and sent a message.
Very soon, a burly man in a black business suit who was over 2.3 meters tall walked in. He bowed to Anjou Taylor. “Boss, you were looking for me?”
Anjou Taylor turned to Ye Feng. “This is Miss Prince’s boyfriend, he wants to spar with you.”
Roubin also looked at Ye Feng.
He looked at Ye Feng with a slightly judgmental look before shaking his head. “Boss, it’s better not to.”
“I’ve undergone biological modification by the Imperial Biology Research Institute of the Sun Never Sets Empire. My agility, explosive power, and resistance have already surpassed the limits of humans.”
“Miss’ boyfriend might look extraordinary, but I’m afraid that if I don’t control myself well, I might hurt him…”
Anjou Taylor did not answer but gave Ye Feng a questioning look. “Roubin is my bodyguard.”
“People gave him the nickname, Little Titan.”
“With an extreme outburst, a punch of his can break a regular brick wall. It’s about 1.5 tons of force! The 100-meter sprint only took him about three seconds! With full defense, he can withstand almost all non-sharp cold weapons on the market!”
“Do you want to take his test?”
Ye Feng did not have any emotions when he heard this.
However, Anjou Prince, who was standing at the side, looked a little nervous. “Father, aren’t you going too far?”
“It’s just a small test. Is there a need to sacrifice Roubin?”
“It’s not like you don’t know that in a one-on-one situation, even the top royal agents of Sun Never Sets can rarely fight Roubin! Calling him for this kind of small test is too much bullying!”
As she spoke, she moved to stop Ye Feng. “Ye Feng, don’t listen to my father.”
“He’s clearly deliberately making things difficult for us!”
“Not to mention you, in a one-on-one battle, even those top-notch powerhouses who have successfully undergone genetic modification in the Sun Never Sets Empire are at most on par with Roubin…”
Roubin, the Little Titan, was obviously a little proud of himself.
“Yes, Boss. Why don’t you get another bodyguard to spar with Miss Prince’s boyfriend?”
“My fists are no joke.”
“My punch could even kill a cow, let alone a 1.8-meter-tall person!”
Ye Feng’s expression did not change, he asked indifferently, “What are you best at?”
“Explosive power, speed, defense, among these three attributes, which one is your strongest?”
“Sir…” Little Titan was clearly stunned. “Did you pay attention to what I said just now?”
“Fists and kicks don’t talk logic…”
Ye Feng said directly, “Are you a man?”
“You’re so wishy-washy!”
“Tell me, what is your greatest strength?”
“I’m Mr. Explosive Power!” Little Titan was angered by Ye Feng’s words, he raised his voice.
Ye Feng did not care, he simply glanced at him and said, “Since that’s the case, let’s compete in explosive power!”
“Let me see how strong the legendary explosive power that can kill a cow with one punch is.”
“Do you not believe me, sir?” Little Titan should have understood Ye Feng’s meaning, his breathing became heavier.
