With money came willfulness—this was indeed true.
Frances was not some multi-millionaire in Hollywood, given that her market appeal was not comparable to that of popular actresses like Scarlett Johansson.
But she was indeed wealthy, with income from movies, advertisement endorsements, and as well as various savvy financial investments, her assets should be in the millions.
Afterall, she was an acclaimed actress in Hollywood, with many international film awards under her belt. She lived in a different world from those standing around her in the storage unit.
Where Frances lived was an environment known as ”high society,” where people lived to enjoy life.
Money to them was just a number, and using numbers to buy a gift they liked was a fair deal, right?
As for treasure hunters, many of them worked to live. They might have had 300,000 dollars in savings, but they would not use that amount of money to buy a motorcycle.
Three hundred thousand US dollars could afford a house in Los Angeles. In Flagstaff, it could pay for a small villa plus a Ferrari!
Frances had bought this motorcycle without even checking whether it could be ridden on.
In her own words, she said, ”I bought it to look at it, and not to ride it. What difference does it make whether it can move?”
Li Du could not understand the way these people spent money—if it was just to take a look, why spend 300,000 dollars to buy a replica from the movie? Why not spend 30,000 dollars to make one that is the same exact size?
Happily, Frances moved the motorcycle away while the 300,000 dollars entered Hans’s account. Many treasure hunters were immensely envious at the completion of this deal.
Li Du brought Turis along to make the delivery; the motorcycle could surely not be sent using the Mercedes-Benz.
As the car passed a video shop, he let Turis stop the car to run in to buy some items.
The actress did not live in Beverly Hills; she had a country villa which was not far from the location of the storage facility. It was no wonder she could dash over so quickly.
As Li Du was unloading the motorcycle, he asked, ”May I ask a personal question?”
With her permission, he continued, ”Why don’t you live in Beverly Hills?”
Frances smiled. ”First of all, housing costs too much—I don’t wish to spend so much on housing. Secondly, there's too much paparazzi and too many tourists—I don’t like not having privacy.”
After driving the truck back, Li Du distributed personally autographed photos of the actress; everyone got one.
Turis was especially delighted; his autographed photo was one of him standing with the actress.
After clearing the two storage units, the four trucks were filled to the brim, as storage unit 11 was huge.
In the evening, once they were completely finished packing everything, Hans waved and shouted, ”Bros, let’s go drink to our hearts’ content tonight! Tomorrow we shall meet at the Golden Coast!”
”Yeah!” Turis, Olly and the rest cheered.
Needless to say, dinner and the next day’s activities would be paid for by the two of them. Since they had just made 300,000 dollars, it was only right for them to give everyone a treat.
Hans even wanted to throw a party because he was sure this time they would be able to join The Hundred Thousand Club!
