Chapter 336: The Storage Unit with An Attic
Translator: Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Looking at the list of storage companies with plans to hold auctions, Li Du decided to stay in LA for the rest of August. With so many storage units, there would be a lot to gain here.
He gave Godzilla a call to get him to drive over, and to also bring his crossbow along.
LA was Frank Boll and York’s territory, and he had previously offended these two people—there was bound to be trouble if both parties were to meet.
They woke up bright and early and headed for the first storage company to check if there was anything valuable.
LA, the most populated county in the United States, was a metropolis. With the vastness of the place, it was difficult to move about without a car.
The first storage company was located next to the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels, and was called ”Devout Heart Storage Company.” It was average-sized and held more than a hundred storage units.
Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels was one of the most famous cathedrals in LA. It was similar to Flagstaff’s Chapel of the Holy Cross, only bigger and grander.
The cathedral’s design had incorporated Gothic elements into its bold and modern style. Built less than ten years ago, it was still very new and magnificent-looking.
Big Quinn was a devout Christian; so when they arrived at the storage company, the two of them went to check on the storage unit while Big Quinn did some sightseeing.
Devout Heart had put only five storage units up for auction. Li Du let the little bug out to take a look around, before saying decisively, ”Let’s go, there’s no money to be made here.”
The five storage units—which were ordinary home storage units filled with domestic items all stacked up—did not stir Li Du’s interest at all.
Having left the storage company, they stood in front of the cathedral. Li Du thought about it and said, ”Let’s go into the cathedral too.”
Hans asked, ”What’s happened? Have you entered God’s embrace already?”
”Stop talking crap here,” Li Du replied, ”you could get bashed up!”
The cathedral, built in 2002, was filled with an artistic air. Upon entering, he saw the soft rays of light coming through the alabaster windows, illuminating the cathedral and making it seem extremely serene.
Behind the pulpit, someone was playing the pipe organ. Big Quinn was kneeling before a Virgin Mary statue and praying with his hands clasped.
As Li Du walked over, he heard whispers.
”Mother Mary would not forgive him—I bet he must be a killer!”
”The type who works for the mafia.”
”Regardless, may Mother Mary and God absolve him of his sins.”
Li Du did not know whether to laugh or cry; these Americans were really good at judging people based on their appearances.
When he had entered the church, he saw that there were complimentary postcards available for mailing. He wanted to find two nice ones to send to Sophie.
It turned out that the postcards were not unlimited. There was a daily quota, which had already been reached for that day.
Next to him, some tourists were holding and admiring a few of the postcards. Li Du went over to ask politely, ”Could I possibly buy your postcards from you?”
A man, who looked he could be the tour guide, shook his head. ”Sorry, these are our souvenirs, and we have no intention of selling them.”
Li Du shrugged disappointedly, and asked, ”Do you know where I could buy these postcards?”
