Chapter 100: Chapter 100 Encounter

  Entering a commercial street art shop, the shopkeeper, a middle aged man in his forties, nodded politely upon seeing Hardy enter.

  Hardy looked around the shop himself.

  European furniture, silver jewelry, various art works, and in one corner, Hardy spotted several oil paintings.

  There are two large paintings and three small ones. One painting depicted what looked like Florence in the Renaissance era, while the other portrayed an ancient Venetian row ship.

  The three small ones were exquisitely made, featuring images of a few people that looked like families.

  "Do you like these oil paintings of Italy?" the shopkeeper asked, noticing Hardy had been staring at the two large paintings for quite some time.

  "What are the prices for these oil paintings?" Hardy inquired.

  "These two are $2900 each, and the three small ones are $1800 each," the shopkeeper replied.
