Another truck had arrived. Dozens of treasure hunters surged forward to crowd around it.
Li Du looked over with curiosity, and asked, ”Who’s here?”
Hans, who was usually very hyper at auctions, had been overly cautious here. He did not even have the desire to take a look, and said lethargically, ”Who knows? Maybe some celebrity.”
”There really are many chances to see celebrities here in LA,” Big Beard said. ”The other day, I bumped into Keanu Reeves—he was a friendly chap. Look, we took a photo together.”
He whipped out his mobile phone to show everyone. The treasure hunters immediately looked envious.
Keanu Reeves was famous in Arizona, not only for his outstanding acting skills, but also for his forthrightness, gentleness, and generosity.
”You are so lucky, buddy. Such a pity I didn’t meet him. I really like this guy.”
”I also like him. If I were to meet him, I’d ask him if he needed any more stunt doubles. I’m willing to stand in as his stunt double.”
”You are trying to get ahold of a Harley bike, right?”
To thank the 12 actors who had stood in for him as stunt doubles in ”The Matrix” series, Reeves had bought each of them a relatively expensive Harley motorcycle as a gift.
”D*mn you, Turis, I’m being honest. I’m grateful to him, as my niece benefited from one of the charities he sponsors. He’s a good guy, and even wrote her a letter. I swear that it was written by him personally.”
”Your niece had leukemia? That poor child.”
Rufus shook his head and said, ”She’s not poor. There are good people like Mr. Reeves in this world—she should feel lucky.”
When filming ”The Matrix,” Reeves had donated 70 percent of his earnings to a children’s leukemia research organization and other charities to help less fortunate families.
Li Du said, ”Did you meet him at the central market? We were having dinner there the night before, and he was apparently there, but we were not as lucky as you.”
As they were talking about Reeves, Rambis and his brother-in-law Huron brought a group of treasure hunters over. They were eating and drinking as they walked, and looked like they had only just arrived.
Rambis was accompanied by two muscular-looking black men. Next to Godzilla, however, these two men paled in comparison.
Walking over to Li Du and everyone else, he said, ”Good morning buddies. What a coincidence to see you here. Li, Big Fox, have you gotten any insider news?”
With a solemn expression, Hans said, ”Yes, there are valuables in storage units 1 and 5. You must get hold of them—there will be lots to gain.”
Rambis guffawed, ”I’ll be d*mned if I believe you! You are so full of shi*t!”
Li Du spoke without expression: ”Since you don’t believe us, then why did you come over?”
Rambis shrugged and said, ”Oh, I’m just here to have a look. So now anyone can lead a team? This is interesting.”
He glanced at Big Beard Carl and Ferris. ”You gotta keep your eyes wide open if you want to make money. Are you guys blind or what? Fancy getting these two rookies to lead?”
At this time, Rick and his son walked over. Li Du could not help but frown upon seeing them.
Huron, who was combing his mustache, went up and said, ”Hi Joffrey, I knew you wouldn’t miss this chance to make money. To meet you here—”
