”Five hundred, the bid is now 500! I'm going to ask for 600, 600! Anyone willing to accept 600…”
”Me!” Rambis shouted.
”Six hundred dollars, six hundred, how about…”
”Seven hundred!” Hans followed aggressively.
The cowboy nodded before continuing, ”Very nice; it looks like the true value of this storage unit has been seen by some people, but 700 dollars is somewhat…”
”Eight hundred” Rambis interrupted.
Without even waiting for the auctioneer, Hans immediately screamed, ”One thousand!”
Everyone quickly understood that these two were competing with each other. The other treasure hunters who had also wanted to bid stepped aside, crossed their arms, and enjoyed the show.
As the auctioneer, the old cowboy was all for this type of competition; his commission would be from the total sales value of the entire auction. The higher the bid went, the more his income would be.
Just after Hans gave his bid, Rambis immediately rose his middle finger, shouting, ”Eleven hundred!”
”Fifteen hundred!” Hans gnashed his teeth.
There raised a whistle from the crowd. Those who were enjoying the entertainment even started clapping and yelling things like ”Cool!” and ”Sick!”
During the chaos, Hans gave Li Du a meaningful look.
Li Du understood.
His face immediately changed and he shoved Hans fiercely, ”F*ck! You bast*rd! Why are you bidding like this?! Didn't we agree earlier…”
Hans immediately returned the shove. ”Shut up, Li! I refuse to return empty-handed, and definitely won't lose to a wimp like Rambis!”
”You will lose all our money!” Li Du raged. ”That's not bidding! You are just taking revenge!”
With these two arguing, Rambis also stopped bidding; the auctioneer quickly said, ”Fifteen hundred, fifteen hundred dollars. You guys should know that there might be a Harley in this storage, so is there anyone who's willing to bid sixteen hundred, sixteen hundred dollars, anyone?”
”Me,” Rambis offered.
At this, Hans patted his pocket, gritted his teeth and released a furious expression. ”Two thousand!”
”Oh wow, is Big Fox crazy?” one of the treasure hunters sighed.
Rambis still wanted to increase the bid. Li Du immediately grabbed Hans and yelled at him, ”Stop it right now! Come with me!”
Hearing Li Du's words, Rambis didn't raise the price, but instead gestured towards the storage unit and mocked, ”Want to leave? You idiots—leave after paying for this pile of trash. Do you want to treasure hunt with your intelligence? You should go hunt for sh*t instead then!”
Meanwhile, the auctioneer continued, ”Two thousand two thousand dollars! Anyone for twenty-one hundred?”
Hans looked around at the crowd hopefully; his face was full of regret, and it truly appeared he wished another person would take this unit off his hands. Everyone surrounding the unit shook their heads.
After two more announcements without any response, the auctioneer pointed towards Hans. ”Congratulations Big Fox, you have won this precious unit!”
