Chapter 216 The Bustle Increases (2/2)
Dog Ears Rick breezed past him without expression and then smiled at Li Du. ”Li, Big Fox, good morning.”
Hans shrugged. ”If you hadn’t appeared before us, the morning would have been even better.”
Huron, Rambis, and the rest were surprised—they had not expected Rick, a member of The Hundred Thousand club, to take the initiative to greet a rookie.
What they also did not expect was for the rookies to treat Rick and his son with an impatient attitude!
Rambis didn’t give it much thought. He thought Hans and Li Du didn’t know Rick’s status, and said, ”Hey, rude fellas, you guys had better show an important man like Mr. Rick here some respect!”
Li Du said icily, ”Then can important people like you stay away from us? What an unlucky day it is, to encounter two piles of dogsh*t in a row.”
Rambis exploded in anger and shouted, ”Barry, I think this chap’s skin is too sturdy— come over and loosen his skin up!”
His two bodyguards glanced at each other but did not dare go forward—they knew that Godzilla was there.
Rambis also knew that, but he was only doing this as an act for Rick and his son. He didn’t have the nerve to make any moves on Li Du.
After saying that, he looked at Rick and his son and said in a fawning manner, ”Joffrey, these rookies know nothing. They probably don’t know of your famous dog ears. I—”
Having been interrupted by him a few times, Joffrey Rick was getting impatient. He frowned and said, ”What’s wrong with you? Who the f*ck are you?”
Rambis was stunned, and said, ”I am Anthony Rambis. Carl Huron is my brother-in-law—”
”D*mn idiot!” Rick went up to push him away. ”Get lost. Are you in any position to speak here?
Both Li Du and Hans folded their arms in anticipation of the spectacle that was going to unfold. They were hoping that there would be a fight between Rambis’s and Rick’s teams; it was a ”dog eat dog,” unjustifiable dispute.
Suddenly, a real dog ran over.
Rambis and party had been holding and eating burgers, sandwiches, and grilled sausages. This dog ran up and bit off a burger a treasure hunter was holding. This had scared the treasure hunter, causing him to cry out loud.
The dog that had run over was a Rottweiler, which was a fierce mid-sized dog with valiant fighting abilities. It had scary bite strength—a full-grown Rottweiler could bite off an adult’s shin bone in one bite!
This was a young Rottweiler, just a half-grown son of a b*tch.
The treasure hunter was furious at his burger being grabbed, He lifted his leg to kick the dog. ”F*ck, whose dog is this? Scram, scram and let go off my burger.”
Kicked, the Rottweiler retreated and started to howl.
A few men ran over, and leading them was a muscular white man. On seeing him, the Rottweiler scampered to his side and started to whine softly.
The muscular white man glared at the crowd and asked in a fierce manner, ”Who kicked my dog?”
On seeing this man, the expressions on the faces of Rick and his son, and Rambis and Huron, changed immediately. With this question, all the treasure hunters from Flagstaff moved back a step.
Having noted this, Li Du understood that this muscular man must be somebody of importance.
True enough, Hans whispered to him, ”This should be interesting. Frank Boll, boss of California. Let’s see how these idiots handle him.”
Li Du thought the name was familiar. ”I seem to have heard of him?”
Hans said, ”Of course. He was in the news this year. He got his hands on some gold sand, and was able to join The Million Club. What a lucky b*stard.”
