Chapter 222 Battle of The Lunatics (2/2)
The Los Angeles police didn’t take their time. After receiving the call from Hans, they immediately sent a team over to investigate. They made a copy of the recording from the car camera, stating that they would investigate the incident.
On the second day of the auction, Frank and York came late, arriving in the mid-afternoon.
The two wore solemn expressions, and their glares toward Li Du were full of hostility. However, they were not provoking him anymore.
Unit 28 had some valuable items: some shields and traditional weapons hidden in Styrofoam boxes.
Unit 11 also had weapons, which were made of wood and plastic. This unit was different. In it, the shields and traditional weapons seemed to be just models. However, the exterior was wrapped in some steel or bronze layer, looking almost like the real thing.
Li Du had searched on the web, discovering that these models came from one of the films from Warner Bros., ”Troy.”
He used the ability of the bug to replay the scenes of the past. He saw one of the scenes depicting a bronze-layered shield with a black Pegasus drawing on it, held by the movie star, Brad Pitt.
Thus, he knew that those props were valuable. If they were sold to a movie fanatic or some fan of Brad Pitt, it would definitely make a lot of money.
The starting bid was 2,000 dollars. This was a large-scale storage unit. Hans participated in the competition, and raised the price all the way up to 15,000 dollars
At that moment, no one was making any more offers. Li Du thought the unit was theirs, but then, Frank opened his mouth and said, ”20,000!”
Seeing the twisted expression from Frank, Li Du felt anxious. He realized that it would not be so easy to get this unit.
Hans remained unfazed and continued to bid, shouting, ”21,000.”
”Twenty-two thousand,” Frank scoffed.
”Twenty-three thousand!”
”Twenty-four thousand!”
The price quickly rose to 30,000, and Frank continued to raise the price.
Li Du coldly smirked, and butted into the bidding. ”Fifty thousand!”
The treasure hunters on scene cried out in surprise.
”Those fellas are really rich—50,000 dollars for a unit!”
”Of course! Frank is one of the members of The Million Club!”
”What if this unit is worth 100,000 dollars? They’ve definitely seen something that we didn’t!”
”Don’t be dumb—what they saw, we did too. The two are just competing against each other!”
”That’s right. Last night, Frank sent his dog to attack the Chinaman. In the end, the Chinese fella had an ocelot, and it almost killed his beloved dog!”
”It doesn’t end there. Big Fox called the cops. Frank and the others were detained by the cops that night!”
The treasure hunters fervently discussed the situation. Frank’s expression turned hideous. ”Sixty thousand!”
Li Du scoffed, ”100,000!”
The treasure hunters were unsettled. ”That boy from Flagstaff is a tough one!”
”Frank has finally met someone even crazier than him!”
”Stand back guys, stand back! It’s a battle of the lunatics!”
