Chapter 284 284.黑帮出现 1 (1/2)

With the purse in hand, Hans found a brocade box and lovingly placed it inside.

Li Du said, ”It’s fine even if you leave the purse outside. Unless people know of its history, they won’t dare go near it.”

The Playboy laughed heartily, ”Yes, I bet no thief would dare steal such a purse.”

”This is also why it’s so expensive,” Li Du said, ”it comes with an anti-theft feature.”

Godzilla muttered, ”Would anyone want this? I don’t. Who knows if it will come alive if I carry it on my back?”

”Maybe there would be people who’d want it,” Li Du said, ”and I believe that there would be even more who would like it in America, since this is the entertainment capital of the world.”

He thought this thing looked a little menacing. The Chinese believed that snakes could eventually evolve into dragons since ”big snakes can become pythons, big pythons can become boas, big boas can become mythical dragons, big mythical dragons can become real dragons.” What had created this purse was a small dragon’s carcass.

The Playboy nodded. ”Of course, I can link you up with clients. I know a few who would be interested in this thing.”

Li Du smiled, ”That would be great—here’s to a great partnership.”

”Great partnership,” the Playboy nodded in delight.

According to treasure hunting cooperation rules, if he succeeded in being the middleman, he could get a ten percent commission, which would earn him tens of thousands of dollars—not insignificant at all!

After they had tidied up the unit, they changed the locks and dashed to the next storage unit.

As soon as the unit’s doors opened, a few Middle Eastern men came up to them. A big bearded man asked, ”Gentlemen, you’ve gotten this unit from the auction?”

Li Du looked at them warily. ”Yes, why?”

The big bearded man beamed, revealing a set of snowy-white teeth. ”Oh, it’s like this, my friend. This storage is mine. I’m the owner.”

Li Du nodded, indicating for him to continue speaking.

”There are many traditional items belonging to our family in this storage. They may be worthless to you, but to us, they’re valuable gifts from Allah.”

”You want to buy the unit, right?” Li Du asked.

Godzilla stared at these Middle Eastern men with vigilance. All of them were thick-waisted, had shady expressions, and the hint of violence in their eyes.

The big bearded man laughed, ”Yes, you guessed right, Mister.”

Hans said, ”Sorry, buddy, this doesn’t fulfill the storage auction rules...”

Upon hearing this, the big bearded man stopped smiling—he interrupted Hans, ”What rules? Friend, over here, our words are the rules—have we not made that clear?”

The expressions on the muscular men’s faces darkened. Godzilla pulled out a huge wrench from the truck; this was made of stainless steel and could smash a cow’s head with a blow.

The men’s expressions changed as they took out sharp weapons such as machetes and small axes from under their robes.

Realizing that a violent conflict was impending, Li Du waved his hand. ”Godzilla, be quiet.”

The Mexican man sniffled and then he hid the wrench in his shirt.

Li Du turned to the big bearded man and said, ”Mister, I suppose you must be from the most influential gang in Kingman.”

The big bearded man said arrogantly, ”Allah above, we’re not a gang. We’re fervent believers—Allah’s warriors. Like the horsewhip that is used to chase sheep!”

Li Du smiled, ”So you absolutely have to get hold of this storage?”

”Yes! I’m representing my family to get it back, as we had forgotten to renew the contract. Only a few days late. If you’re a kind-hearted man, you should understand our position right?”

Li Du said, ”I paid 10,100 dollars to get it. I can understand your position, but you also need to understand mine.”
