Hearing those words, Li Du creased his eyebrows. ”What’s an extra auction chance?”
Hans said, ”D*mn it, that’s when there is another storage unit up for auction. Haven’t we experienced last-minute cancellations of units? This is adding some storage units for auction at the last-minute.”
With that, Li Du understood, and he also realized that there could be some very valuable items in the storage units that were in this extra auction. In fact, Lil’ Rick was aiming for these two extra units.
He forgot that besides the saying, ”If idiots gathered in shallow ponds, they would all think they were the boss,” there was also another saying: ”Appearances are deceiving; one cannot measure the ocean with their eyes.”
In the end, Li Du had underestimated Lil’ Rick. Or rather, he had underestimated Dog Ears Rick, whom he had not yet met.
When the two rushed over, the first unit had already been auctioned off.
Li Du asked in surprise, ”That fast?”
Hans scoffed, ”Most of the people have left; only about five people are here. Of course it’ll be fast.”
At the entrance of the storage unit, Lil’ Rick pulled down the door and gleefully clicked his lock on the handle.
Seeing this, Hans laughed coldly and said, ”So that’s how our Mr. Dog Ears became the Treasure Hunting Tycoon of Flagstaff?”
His words made Lil’ Rick’s expression darken. ”Keep your mouth clean, Hans. Don’t think people don’t know what you did in the City of Angels. We know all about it, so do you think you still have the cheek to mock others?”
Hans’s expression also darkened, and continued to turn grim.
Lil’ Rick continued, ”Listen here; getting info has always been one of the most important skills in the storage hunting business. We can get info that you guys can’t. That’s our strength, understand?”
As he spoke, he moved forward and used his finger to poke at Hans’s chest to show his arrogance.
Li Du went up and pushed him away, saying, ”Didn’t your daddy teach you any manners? If he didn’t, then I’m willing to do it. You can start by calling me ‘Godfather.’”
These words enraged Lil’ Rick; he clenched his fist and was ready to sock Li Du.
Reginald and the others struggled to hold Lil’ Rick back. ”Don’t do it, man—do you want to be kicked out? He was agitating you on purpose. He doesn’t want you to get the last unit!”
Lil’ Rick said in anger, ”There’s nothing valuable in the last unit—move away—I’m gonna punch the teeth out of this Chinese man.”
Reginald used all his might to stop him and pushed Lil’ Rick to the side. After whispering some words to Lil’ Rick at his ear, Lil’ Rick’s anger subsided; he made no other actions.
Li Du could guess what he said; Reginald knew of the presence of Godzilla.
Lil’ Rick spat at him, and then went to the next storage unit.
Li Du pulled Hans to him and said, ”Let’s go see the last unit.”
Hans’s expression was still terrible. Apparently, something horrible had happened when he was in Los Angeles that he still couldn’t let go.
Li Du was interested in that incident, but since he didn’t like to gossip, and Hans didn’t want him to know, Li Du didn’t ask about it. Respecting each other was one of the basics of making friends.
But this fight had, unfortunately, put them at the end of the queue. He let the bug into the storage.
It was a common household unit, with a random bunch of day-to-day products and children’s toys. As Lil’ Rick had said, this unit was not valuable.
Li DU shook his head and refused to bid. The storage unit ended up in the hands of Turís. The price was relatively low: only 250 dollars.
Lil’ Rick gave a cold stare at the pair and said, ”Good, it’s time to open up the storage units and reveal what we have. I’ll let you guys see what a professional treasure hunter is really like!”
As he spoke, he waved his hands toward the other treasure hunters. ”Guys, don’t go yet. I have something amazing to show everyone.”
