Chapter 4: The Leather Throne

Translator: Vicky_Editor: Vicky_

As the sun dropped near the horizon, the streets of Flagstaff were dyed red with its lingering rays. The houses and apartments along the road were also shimmering in their reflections of the sunset.

Hans's Ford F-150 was currently blowing down these roads like a howling wind. Even though it was rush hour and the roads were filled with cars returning home from work, it didn't seem to hinder the speed of the Ford F-150 at all as it passed the other cars.

”Pay attention, Hans!” Li Du exclaimed. ”Can't you slow down a little?”

Hans gave him an angry look. ”Can you slow down your speed of eating that pizza? Dammit, didn't we agree that three quarters is mine? In addition, don't call me my name. Call me Big Fox, got it?”

”No, two thirds!”

”Ok, then it's two thirds, but why are there only two slices left You've already finished six slices! That's three quarters!”

Li Du could only smile back awkwardly. It took a lot of energy to control the little bug, and he was ravenous.

The storage warehouse was situated in the northeastern corner of Flagstaff. It used to be a barren area of about 100 acres. Later on, it was developed into several hundred storage units, which were laid out in a very orderly manner with similar box-like shapes.

By the time Hans stopped the car, there was only one slice left in the pizza box. He cursed, ”Hey bast*rd, when did you eat another slice?! ”

Li Du pretended that he had not heard anything as he walked toward the entrance of the storage company office. There was a notice posted on the advertisement wall:

Li Du had never attended an auction before, so to him, everything was new and interesting.

But for Hans, on the other hand, this information was already old news.

After finishing the last slice of pizza, Hans said impatiently, ”Alright Chinese boy, don't waste any more time. Let's go check it out.”

Li Du said, ”You should learn to be more patient, Hans…”

”Call me Big Fox! As long as we are near the auction platform, call me Big Fox, please!” Hans interrupted in a serious tone.

”Then please don't call me Chinese boy either, call me Li!”
