After Hans's comment, the crowd outside all wore furious looks. One of them angrily said, ”Matt, don't block me, I'm going to beat this son of a b*tch up!”
On the other hand, Hans didn't seem to care at all about their threats, and instead carefully placed the stamps in a new book before shouting, ”I'm telling you the truth. Do you know what I actually have here? You probably won't even have thought of it in your wildest dreams!”
Not even Li Du knew what those stamps were, so he questioned, ”Where are these stamps from?”
As Hans dodged Ah Meow's claws, he excitedly explained, ”These stamps were issued in 2000 for the millennial celebration. More specifically, the sports addition.”
At this, the guy outside only let out a cold smirk. ”Ha! Is that the treasure that you think you've got? It's only the millennial remembrance stamps, who knows how many were…. Oh sh*t!”
He suddenly stopped and let out a look of shock as if he suddenly remembered something.
”You remembered, didn't you buddy?” laughed Hans. ”At least your memory is still quite good. Li, what does this stamp say?”
As he looked at the picture of Ali, Li Du read the printed words, ”Joe Montana, quarterback of…”
”And this one,” Hans said and showed him another one, this time of a football athlete.
”Michael Jordan, the god of basketball, who wore jersey number 23... that doesn't seem quite right.”
”And this one?” Hans pointed to a stamp showing Jordan dunking a basketball.
”Muhammad Ali, the eternal god of boxing…” As Li Du read the words, he realized what was wrong. ”The name and description here don't seem to match that of the picture.”
”That's right! Buddy, this is the error edition of the millennium sports stamps!” shouted Hans.
”That's impossible, you can't have such good luck,” exclaimed someone in the crowd.
”Unlike you worthless pig, we are God's most devoted followers, what do you know?!” laughed Hans.
Meanwhile, others seemed to descend into denial and self-comfort.
”These two are trying to put up an act; I bet they won't show us so we can see if they are telling the truth or not.”
At this, Hans shot a photo before handing it over to the other hunters. Seeing this, no one said anything else.
”Today, everything is thanks to Ah Meow!” Li Du smiled as he picked the ocelot up.
”That's right—if Jordan can be considered the god of basketball, then Ah Meow is the god of treasure hunting!” Hans excitedly replied.
With that, he immediately picked Ah Meow up and kissed it on the head. However, Ah Meow didn't seem to enjoy this, and immediately retaliated with a swipe of its claws.
”Are these stamps worth much?” asked Li Du.
”Of course!”
There wasn't much stuff this time; only the two book cases and a bunch of books, so they soon cleared the storage unit out.
