Chapter 338 This Is Fame (2/2)
The man flashed his middle finger at him and said, ”I’ll buy your prostitute mother.”
”God gave you a way out,” Hans exclaimed, ”why do you block it with sh*t?”
The man said with hostility, ”Shut up, you outsider. Don’t make me mad, or I’ll crush your head!”
Hans walked over and said, ”Come, crush my head.”
With a darkened face, the man used his chest to bump him. Very soon after two muscular men had squeezed their way through and were pushing him up against a wall.
Being held by two large, strong men against the wall, the man suddenly panicked and exclaimed, ”D*mmit, what’re you doing?”
”Didn’t you want to crush my head?” Hans chuckled. ”It seems like you have to crush my two brothers here first.”
The treasure hunter next to him added, ”Dumb*ss, you really need to think about who you’re provoking. This is Boss Li and Big Fox from Flagstaff—how many Chinese treasure hunters have you seen? Poor judgment!”
”Who is Boss Li and Big Fox?” some treasure hunters could be heard whispering.
Someone replied, ”Flagstaff’s most legendary treasure hunters. That Chinese chap’s a genius—he could be the person to have progressed from the Ten Thousand Club to the Hundred Thousand Club within the shortest amount of time.”
”There was a Warner Brothers storage auction, and the two of them taught Frank and York a lesson!”
”Frank and York from the Million Dollar Club? They're considered potential members of the Million Dollar Club.”
The black man—who had remained quiet out of fear—said feebly, ”Sorry, I must have lost my head earlier. Big Fox, I’m sorry.”
Hans did not want to pursue the matter further, since it was he who had spouted nonsense in the first place. He gave a wave to indicate for Godzilla and Big Quinn to release him.
This was just a minor episode at the auction, but the black man felt ill at ease to stay here. He was also afraid of retaliation when there was nobody else left, so he snuck away soon after.
The auction started, and Li Du only put in exploratory offers for the storage units that came up first.
When it was the fourth storage unit, he put in competitive bids when he saw the fire extinguisher and engine in two large boxes.
The earlier scene with Godzilla and Big Quinn had a deterrent effect: after he had put in his bid for the fourth storage unit, the other treasure hunters withdrew from the bidding war.
The auctioneer pointed at him and said, ”100, 100, 100. Will this storage unit be so so cheap? Please take a look at the things inside, they are worth more than 100 dollars...”
From the outside, this storage unit looked like it did not have much value—that was why nobody wanted to throw in any bids. He ended up winning it with 100 dollars—Li Du secured this storage unit at an extremely low price.
With the auction over, they didn’t bother staying with Godzilla and Big Quinn to tidy up the storage unit, but instead quickly drove to the next auction.
Another storage company was holding an auction on the same day. They were putting up more storage units than this company—a total of 11.
By the time they dashed over, the auction had already progressed to the third storage unit. This auction had attracted many treasure hunters: about 80 or so people were gathered there.
The two of them squeezed through the crowd. Someone suddenly shoved Li from the side, causing him to bump into another treasure hunter.
That treasure hunter frowned, and then offered a smile upon seeing him. ”Boss Li? Hello.”
Li Du smiled and nodded, and then looked gloomily to his side.
A bald-headed man smiled at him haughtily. ”Hey, Chinaman, are you a wuss? You almost fell walking.”
