THE INVINCIBLE TOP G Chapter 149
Despite the growing animosity, Gabriel remained composed, determined to regain his footing. He took a deep breath and addressed the room with renewed confidence. "I understand your reservations," he began, his voice steady. "But my intention is not to challenge the expertise in this room. I would like to buy the painting, but first, I need to see it up close."A murmur of surprise rippled through the crowd. Walter's eyes narrowed with skepticism, while Benson couldn't help but chuckle derisively. "You want to buy the painting? With what money, Gabriel?" Benson scoffed, his tone dripping with condescension. "Do you even know how much it costs?"Gabriel ignored the mockery, his gaze fixed on Mr. Norberg. "If you will allow me, I'd like to take a closer look," he said, his tone respectful yet firm.Walter, sensing an opportunity to humiliate Gabriel further, smirked. "Sure, let the man have a look," he said with exaggerated generosity. "Let's see if our resident art critic can find someth

Gabriel met their ridicule with an unflinching gaze. "I know exactly what I'm doing," he said calmly. "I have the means to purchase this painting. My offer stands."Mr. Norberg, seeing the determination in Gabriel's eyes, raised an eyebrow. "And what price are you willing to offer, Gabriel?" he asked, genuinely curious.Gabriel took a deep breath. "I confirm that the painting is as appraised by you and the other experts. Despite this, I'm offering the valued price - 200,000 thousand dollars to buy it from Walter."A murmur of disbelief rippled through the crowd. Onlookers couldn't help but ridicule him, thinking he was just trying to win their respect again by making an offer despite the painting’s downgraded value. Mr. Norberg, who was actually a professor and a true antique expert, has refused to buy the painting for that sum despite estimating it for 200,000 dollars. He felt it wouldn't profit him anyway. “You just want to buy a painting appraised at two hundred thousand which is

Mikelson, giving it a second thought, hesitated as he pondered Gabriel's intention. The painting was worth $200,000 at most, and he couldn't believe his son-in-law had stated he would buy it at that same price. Gabriel's offer was more than generous and caused a collective intake of breath from the crowd.Benson, witnessing Gabriel asking his father-in-law for money for the painting, concluded in his mind that Gabriel was a nobody without much capability. He assumed Gabriel's acquaintance with Mr. Rhinold was merely to leverage his father-in-law's connections. A smirk appeared on Benson's face as he leaned toward Walter."Smart move, Walter," Benson said with a knowing look. "Deciding to sell the painting off to Gabriel was clever."Walter, taken aback by Benson's words, glanced at him. "What do you mean?"Benson patted Walter's shoulder, a grin spreading across his face. "Though you're selling the painting below the purchased price, it's still good that you got $200,000 back from sel

Aliyah watched with a frown as her father sent the $100,000 to Gabriel's account. Confirming it, Gabriel thanked him and was about to leave when Aliyah blocked his way. "And how are you going to get the other $100,000 to buy the painting?" she demanded, skepticism lacing her voice."Don't worry about it," Gabriel said calmly. He actually had the money but didn't want to draw suspicion, which was why he had asked his father-in-law for $100,000.Aliyah snorted in disbelief. "You're going to make a mockery of our family by telling them you want to buy the painting for $100,000 because I know you don't have any more money."Mikelson, sensing the tension, gestured for Gabriel to proceed. "Let it be, Aliyah. Gabriel knows what he's doing."The crowd watched in anticipation as Gabriel confidently approached Walter and Benson, completing the payment with a few taps on his phone. Walter's and Benson's smug expressions turned into shock as the transaction went through.Aliyah stood there, bewil

As Mr. Norberg and the other experts continued to scrutinize Gabriel with unreadable expressions, the tension in the room grew thicker. Sensing an opportunity to undermine Gabriel, Benson raised his voice, his words dripping with scorn."Looks like Gabriel's little charade isn't fooling anyone," Benson sneered, casting a knowing glance around the room. "Trying to pull off some grand scheme to make himself look like a hero. Pathetic."The murmurs of agreement spread like wildfire among the onlookers, each voice adding to the chorus of doubt and skepticism directed at Gabriel. Faces twisted with contempt turned towards him, their eyes alight with mockery."He thinks he can outsmart us all," one person scoffed, shaking their head in disbelief. "But we see right through him."Gabriel stood his ground, his expression unwavering despite the onslaught of ridicule. He knew he had to stay strong in the face of adversity, even as doubts threatened to consume him."Come on, Gabriel, admit it," an

As the realization of the painting's value sank in, the room fell silent, the air thick with disbelief. Gabriel's father-in-law stood frozen, his eyes wide with astonishment. Aliyah and the others stared at the painting, their jaws hanging open in shock."$50 million... I can't believe it," Aliyah whispered, her voice barely audible.Gabriel remained composed, his confidence unwavering despite the chaos around him. "I told you there was more to this painting than met the eye," he said, his tone calm but firm. "What can you all say now, doubting Thomas?” He chuckled, glancing at each of them that had said something bad about him earlier. The experts continued their examination, their excitement palpable as they uncovered new details and insights about the painting. Gabriel watched with a sense of satisfaction, knowing that his intuition had been proven right.As the room buzzed with excitement, Gabriel's detractors began to realize the gravity of their mistake. The bald middle-aged man

Gabriel turned to his father-in-law with a smile. "Thank you for believing in me, father-in-law."Mikelson clapped him on the back. "You’ve made us all proud today, Gabriel."As the room buzzed with congratulations and excitement, Aliyah approached Gabriel, her earlier skepticism completely gone. "I misjudged you, Gabriel. You truly have an incredible eye for art."Gabriel smiled warmly at her. "Thank you, Aliyah. I just wanted to do right by our family."Mr. Rhinold shook Gabriel's hand. "If you ever find another hidden gem like this, Gabriel, you know where to find me."Gabriel nodded, his confidence bolstered by the day's events. "I'll keep that in mind, Mr. Rhinold."As the crowd slowly began to disperse, Gabriel's father-in-law, Mikelson, approached him with a grateful smile. "Gabriel, once I receive the payment from Mr. Rhinold, I will transfer half of it to you. You deserve it."Gabriel shook his head, a humble smile on his face. "No need for that, father-in-law. Keep it. Consid

Mikelson, watching nervously, finally spoke. "Gabriel, maybe hear him out."Aliyah added, "It could be important." She forced a smile at Brock, who returned it in a sly manner.Gabriel glanced at them, then back at Brock. "Make it quick."Brock's eyes gleamed with confidence. "Let's discuss this in private."The crowd's murmurs grew louder, the atmosphere thick with anticipation. Gabriel's decision now hung in the balance, leaving everyone on edge, wondering what Brock's offer could be and how Gabriel would respond.With a cold stare, Gabriel responded, "I'm not stepping away from my family for this."Brock's smile faded. "This isn't a negotiation, Gabriel. You might want to reconsider."Gabriel's jaw tightened. "And you might want to learn some respect."As the two men stood locked in a silent battle of wills, Mikelson and Aliyah exchanged worried glances. Then Brock, deciding to act nice for a minute, proudly said, "I will overlook your bluntness, man." He glanced at Mikelson, who g
