Chapter 220: The Conflict Caused by The Drone

There was a large number of books in the second storage unit. Some of the tool books inside looked like they were very old; if they had appeared in a library or museum auction, it would have triggered bloodshed.

Even here, there were many people willing to bid very high prices.

These tool books were probably not antiques, but if they had been featured in some excellent movies, then they would be valuable. There would be many people willing to collect them.

Li Du did not notice any famous tool books among them. He did not participate in the auction of this unit; his estimation of the value of the storage within was 10,000 dollars.

In the end, it only took a short span of forty seconds for the bid price to exceed 10,000 dollars. It eventually stopped at 22,000.

Frank and York still did not make any bids, and sneered at the crowd.

As they walk toward the third storage unit, Frank deliberately knocked into Li Du, then asked provocatively, ”Oh, oh—did I bump into you? Oh, are you expecting me to apologize?”

Li Du patted his clothes and said, ”You needn’t apologize—what’s the use of getting an apology from a mentally-ill person?”

Frank flared up immediately. ”Son of a b*tch, who are you calling mentally-ill? You damn Chinaman, I’m gonna break your neck!”

York stopped his partner, and said impatiently, ”Get lost, Chinaman. Don’t f*cking provoke us!”

Li Du was extremely angry but laughed instead. These chaps are sure tyrannical— whose provoking who now?

He pointed to Frank and said, ”You’d better go to the mental hospital for a check-up. Something’s wrong with your brain, with your mental health. Trust me, you’ll die early if you continue living this way!”

”F*ck you!” Frank hollered at him.

Hans whispered, ”His bipolar is even more serious than what was rumored. You’re right, he’ll die of mental illness sooner or later.”

Li Du said, ”No, he’ll die of provoking those whom he shouldn’t have provoked. Based on his current situation, his death won’t be far off.”

Compared to the first storage unit, the third was smaller. There were shelves inside: wooden shelving and metal shelving. The shelves were pushed close together, without much space in between.

When it was the turn of the treasure hunter with the drone to view the storage, an interesting thing occurred. The drone flew in, got stuck on a metal shelf, and could not fly out.

The treasure hunter who owned it got anxious. Holding an iPad, he began to cry out in anger. ”D*mn, d*mn, d*mn! Don’t get stuck inside. God help me, oh God! Come out, come out, quick, come out…”

Seeing this, Li Du laughed. Someone next to him gloated and said, ”That chap is down on his luck.”

”What will happen?” he asked.

Hans explained, ”According to the storage auction regulations, after the bidding is completed, all items in the storage unit will belong to the treasure hunter who has successfully bid for it.”

Li Du suddenly understood. ”Oh—so if that drone can’t fly out, it will belong to the treasure hunter who buys the storage?”

”Yes.”

With the drone stuck inside, the treasure hunter walked away from the entrance despondently, his despair apparent on his face.

Li Du had a good look at the drone when he viewed the storage. It was a new model with two camera heads, and looked expensive.

Using his mobile phone, Hans took a look on Amazon, smiled and said, ”2,000 dollars. It’s worth 2,000 dollars, and it’s the latest drone, imported from your very own China. It can apparently fly up to 1,500-meters high.”

Li Du went up to him to take a look, and said, ”This doesn’t include the cameras, so it should really be worth at least 2,500 to 3,000 dollars.”

Storage unit 3 contained many porcelain items, puppets, and dolls, which were already valuable in their own right. Coupled with that drone, it was even more valuable.

The owner of the drone said to the auctioneer earnestly, ”Can you let me enter and take it out? I promise not to touch anything.”

The auctioneer shook his head decisively. ”No—that’s against the regulations.”
