Chapter 174 Unexpected Findings (2/2)

”But it really is expired. Look—all that’s left is powder.”

”What a pity! This stuff is worth more than gold!”

”Gold? Diamonds more like it!”

”Take a look at the other tablets—maybe not all of them expired.”

Rick was already busy opening the other boxes. The second box was powder as well—the third, powder. One by one, they discovered that all the pills were powder.

With a hideous expression on his face, Rick tore open the remaining boxes. Once again, they were all in powder form.

”F*ck!” a devastated roar was heard.

Li Du was laughing. ”Ha-ha! What were you saying just now? A learning opportunity, right? Well, I really did learn something, and that is that some medicine is worth more than gold.”

”And who reminded us that we treasure hunters are not cleaners?” asked Hans, who was laughing as well. ”How much did you pay for this unit? There seems to be only trash in here!”

Rick stared at the duo with murderous eyes. Lil’ Rick had a mournful expression; he picked up a box and said, ”Absolutely impossible—how did it expire?”

”Maybe it was not stored appropriately. Next time you better be careful when you receive news about medicine. When not stored properly, it loses its effectiveness.”

The other treasure hunters nodded their heads in agreement.

”Yeah, better be careful, medicines are double-edged swords.”

”How unlucky—you could have made around 70,000 dollars!”

”There’s always risk involved in our business, but we better be cautious too.”

Hans gave Li Du a pat on the shoulder. ”Our luck’s not too bad. We can still make a small profit—”

”Holy sh*t! Boss, there’s an animal in the unit!” A shout was suddenly heard in the unit, and interrupted Hans.

The shout attracted everyone’s attention. They saw a brownish-yellow animal running around in the unit.

The animal was tiny and skinny. It had a length of around 20 centimeters, and it looked frightened with its tail tucked between its back legs. It ran with its head down, just like a small, thin puppy.

Li Du was shocked to see the sight. ”Gosh, why is there a dog in a storage unit?”

Hans was amused by Li Du’s comment. He laughed loudly, ”That’s not a dog—that’s a raccoon! A white-nosed coati. Hey Rick, you should change your name to Coon Dog Ears!”

Rick was already fuming with rage due to the expired medicine. When he saw the tiny raccoon, he vented his anger by kicking it. The raccoon was sent flying toward Li Du.

Li Du wanted to avoid getting hit, but Ah Meow, who was beside him, took a leap like a goalkeeper saving a shot. Ah Meow then landed on the poor raccoon on the ground.

The raccoon let out a desperate scream when it hit the ground, blood seeping out from its mouth. It looked tragic.

Ocelots were fierce hunters. Ah Meow lifted its sharp claws, wanting to end the life of the tiny raccoon.

Li Du felt that it was too cruel to do that to an animal, and he didn’t want Ah Meow to get in the habit of recklessly killing other animals either, so he called out with a stern voice, ”Ah Meow, stop!”

Li Du quickly carried the white-nosed coati in his arms.

Hans warned, ”Be careful, raccoons have sharp teeth…”

But before Hans could finish his sentence, the white-nosed coati had already curled up in Li Du’s arms, trembling.
