Chapter 368 Here Comes The Trap (2/2)

”The Ricks are not in their room. Do you know where they went? Someone saw them entering Frank and York’s room. I think they went to butter up to them and might have told them about the mahogany furniture.”

If Li Du were in Rick’s position and knew about the mahogany furniture, he would do the same as well.

This was because the Ricks had offended Frank and York by helping Li Du out. Since they had not managed to gain Li Du’s approval, they need to resolve their differences with Frank and York. It would be foolish to have bad relations with both opposing sides.

As he thought of that, he asked again, ”How many people know about the mahogany furniture?”

Last night at the bar when they talked to the treasure hunters, it seemed that they hadn’t known about the existence of the mahogany furniture.

But of course, there was the possibility that everyone thought nobody knew about it except themselves, and kept quiet about it.

Hans shook his head. ”That’s hard to say. But if an outsider like Big Caen knows about this, I think there will be others who know about it too.”

Li Du tapped his fingers on his knee. ”Fine then. Anyways, I’m not interested in the mahogany furniture. Let them compete with each other. Oh look, they’re back.”

Ah Meow was hiding underneath the sofa with the camera directly facing the bottom of the door. When the door opened, they knew right away.

All four of them kept quiet at once and listened carefully to the conversation.

There were a lot of technologically-informed people in America: electronic geeks, IT nerds, and so on. One could tell just from this monitoring system.

This wireless monitoring system that Li Du had bought was very sensitive and advanced. They could hear the opening sound of the door and even footsteps; their voices were very clear.

Lil’ Rick spoke first. ”D*mn those two *ssholes from California! I feel like killing them!”

Then they heard Rick’s voice. ”Californians are stupid. They are overly confident. They don’t know how cunning that d*mn Chinaman is.”

Hans used his elbow to nudge Li Du’s shoulder. ”They’re praising you.”

Li Du gave Hans a dirty look. ”You want me to tell them ‘thanks’ for thinking so highly of me? Just listen.”

Lil’ Rick said, ”Let them witness how strong we are tomorrow. Dad, we don’t need them. We can deal with that Chinaman ourselves.”

”Right, but the enemy of my enemy is my friend,” replied Rick. ”With Li as our common enemy, we should establish a good relationship with Frank and York and become allies.”

”They obviously don’t think so. They treat us like clowns! D*mmit! D*mmit! D*mmit!” Lil’ Rick kicked the sofa.

All four of them watching the screen jump. Big Quinn muttered in prayer, ”Don’t be scared, Ah Meow!”

Ah Meow wasn’t affected at all. The camera didn’t shake a single bit.

”Remember what I said?” Rick continued. ”Respect has to be earned! After tomorrow, they won’t look down on us anymore!”

Lil’ Rick concurred. ”Right, tomorrow we’ll teach that Chinaman a good lesson. Let them see what we can do!”

After saying this, they stopped talking. The room became quiet.

Li Du and Hans got worried. They knew that there was a trap laid for them, but they could not guess what kind of trap it was.

Lil’ Rick was not someone who could stay quiet for long. After a while, he began to ramble.

After listening to that rambling for a while, Li Du felt like cussing.

Lil’ Rick was just mumbling about nonsensical stuff. There was nothing useful. This went on for half an hour and nothing was mentioned in regards to the trap.

Li Du had to turn off the camera remotely as there wasn’t much battery left. They needed to save some electricity as they hadn’t gotten anything useful.

Just as they were running out of patience, they heard sounds of the door opening.
