Chapter 312 Spirit of Ecstasy (2/2)

Hans hurriedly waved his hand and explained, ”A Rolls-Royce’s hood ornament is considered to be its face and soul. It’s the most expensive hood ornament of all. The other hood ornaments are cheap, such as Mercedes-Benz's usual hood ornament, which is only 200 dollars.

”The reason why the price gap is so huge is its creation process. The Spirit of Ecstasy needs to go through six processes for six days—each one is hand-made by craftsmen. And even if it is made of bronze, they will gold-plate it, so it is expensive.

”I remember when BMW bought Rolls-Royce, they produced about 5,000 ornaments a year, and before that, the production quantity was much lower!”

As Hans spoke, he took a metal chest off a shelf. The metal chest had a passcode lock, which he tinkered with for a while but still could not open it.

Li Du took a hammer and said. ”Why bother trying to unlock it? Watch this!”

Li had not even finished speaking and he slammed the hammer on the metal chest; the door of the metal chest was smashed open.

Hans cried out, ”D*mn it, don't be so violent. What if—”

The door of the chest opened and the contents of it were unveiled.

Hans did not finish saying his sentence. He was halfway through talking and suddenly his eyes gawked at what was inside the chest, abruptly swallowing the other half of what he wanted to say.

There was a foam board inside the metal chest. On the foam board, there was a small gold statue sitting on it; there was an umbrella beside the statue as well.

That was what had attracted the little bug—Li Du had not known that Carl and Rambis knew about the Spirit of Ecstasy ornament. It was only after what Rambis had foolishly disclosed that he came to know the whole story.

Carl and Rambis were unlucky. They had taken three out of the four units, so they had a 75 percent chance of getting the Spirit of Ecstasy bonnet ornament. In the end, they were unlucky with their odds.

Li Du was grateful for his good luck—this was an item worth 40,000 dollars!

Nevertheless, he could not let Hans detect any anomaly, and pretended to look astonished. ”Oh God, Fly—”

Hans covered the metal chest right away and interrupted Li by shouting, ”Oh God, fly out, God is flying out!”

Li Du looked confused. ”What?”

Hans gave him a glare and spoke in a low voice: ”We can't let anyone know we've got this. Bud, quick, while Carl’s getting all the attention, let’s take advantage of it and leave now.”

They stuffed the metal chest into the Hellcat, and called Godzilla to come clean up the unit.

Apart from the Spirit of Ecstasy, this unit had no other valuables. All of the items were trash.

But Carl and Rambis were worse off. The three units they won were all garbage.

The most miserable part was that the treasure hunters thought that the Spirit of Ecstasy was inside one of their units. More than a dozen people huddled at the entrance of the unit and stared intently at Carl:

”Pal, you saw the Spirit of Ecstasy, didn’t you?”

”You don’t need to hide it. We won’t call the police. Take it out and show us.”

”Just now I saw Rambis packing up a box, I swear the Spirit of Ecstasy is inside there.”

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Carl became so distressed that he roared helplessly, ”Shut up, we didn’t get the d*mned hood ornament. We have nothing!”

Despite that, the treasure hunters did not believe Carl. Hans added fuel to the fire by saying, ”Well, then you’ve gotten fake news, because our unit’s only a pile of trash. We’ve been fooled!”

When Carl heard this, he started to have a glimmer of hope as he still had two more units to find the ornament. If the last unit won by Li Du and Hans did not have the ornament, then it would be in one of his.

However just as he opened the second unit, a police car came in. The policeman walked out and said, ”Someone reported that stolen goods were found. What happened?”

Carl cursed, ”F*ck you!”

Rambis was enraged. ”Who’s spreading rumors?”
