Chapter 309 The Silent Auction (2/2)

Hans called Godzilla when he learned of the situation and said, ”My room has a pair of Kukri blades: put them on your waist and help Big Quinn get all those exit documents signed.”

The next day, when the duo went to attend the silent auction, both Big Quinn and Godzilla arrived together with the Iron Knight.

Big Quinn was not wearing his blue overall cleaner uniform, but just like Godzilla, he was wearing a sleeveless black T-shirt and jeans. That made him even more intimidating than usual.

He hopped down from the truck; the treasure hunters who were at the auction avoided him like the plague: they spread out in all directions, not wanting to come in contact with Big Quinn.

Li Du laughed when he saw this and remarked, ”Cool. Now we won’t hear all those annoying remarks.”

Both Godzilla and Big Quinn came over and nodded at Li Du when they saw him.

The Playboy Akkalou also came over and exclaimed, ”Are these two your men?”

Li Du nodded and said, ”Yes, my two good men. What about them?”

”Nothing, I’m just curious where you found them?” asked the Playboy with an envious expression. ”Hey friends, are you interested in working for me? I’ll pay double.”

Big Quinn and Godzilla shook their heads in unison; the former had just experienced an episode of turbulent resignation drama, and he did not want to experience it a second time.

The Playboy sighed with regret, then said to Hans, ”You’re going to be so much safer when you go clubbing now.”

Hans wore a proud smile and said, ”Thanks to Li, our team is getting bigger.”

He was mindful not to poke fun of Big Quinn’s size and extraordinary appearance. After all, they were now working together as a team.

Just then, the auctioneer came up to Li Du and said, ”Big Li, could you get your friend to remove his sunglasses? We’re at an auction, not fighting for turf.”

Li Du nodded. ”Big Quinn, remove your shades.”

The husky black guy took off his shades, revealing the short, broken eyebrows, and narrowed eyes; the enraged way he seemed to look at people sent creeps to everyone, no matter what angle.

The auctioneer had just casually met Big Quinn’s eyes for an instant and he felt that he was about to p*ss from fright. He hastily said, ”Forget it. You should leave the shades on, pal.”

Li Du was displeased and knitted his brows. ”What do you want?”

The auctioneer wore an uncomfortable smile and said, ”Nothing—today your team will be the last to view the units.”

There was no one else around them. Big Quinn laughed bitterly and said, ”D*mn, do I really look so detestable and scary?”

Li Du comforted him. ”Don’t be bothered by it. You’re unique and have a charm of your own. Anyway, I like it.”

Godzilla chimed in, ”If I had your looks, I would be the top dog in Mexico.”

Big Quinn sighed with a look of despair.

At nine a.m. sharp, the auction started.

The auctioneer spoke quickly: ”This is a silent auction. Everyone should know very well by now how this works so I’m not going to elaborate if you don’t understand the rules you can come to me personally I need to save time and let’s begin with the viewing...”

The treasure hunters queued up and when they finished viewing the unit, they dropped off a piece of paper into a box after one minute.

That piece of paper was double-layered. The treasure hunters would write down their bid, the auctioneer representing the company would stamp it, and both parties would each keep a copy of the paper.

Ultimately, the storage unit company would then sort the papers according to the amount of bid and award the unit to the highest bidder.

The whole process was silent, and that was why it was called a ”silent auction.”
