Chapter 470: Donated

Where Frank and York were concerned, it was a complete tragedy.
Ma Cheng and the other two men refused to admit that they had cheated Frank and the rest of their things. They insisted that the items were still in the car, and explained that they had been with Li Du and the rest ever since they got to Flagstaff.
Frank and the rest could not produce any incriminatory evidence. When they had claimed the stored goods from the First Financial Bank, the trio had not gone along with them. Therefore, the bank was not able to testify for them.
They had a forged registration document with them, but as it did not contain any details of the trio, it could not serve as evidence of the three men's deception.
Ma Cheng insisted that he was connected with the two of them. While it was apparent they were fraudsters, as they had not caused actual damages to the treasure hunters, they were not liable according to US laws.
If they admitted to defrauding Frank and the rest, they would then face heavier penalties in court. If they did not admit to Frank and York's accusation, then they would only face the charge of attempted fraud. This was because the Flagstaff treasure hunters' items had not been taken away by them.
If they were to admit to it, they would also not be able to help the police retrieve the lost items, and be convicted as fraudsters instead. Under such circumstances, unless they were foolish, the three of them would not admit to anything.
Frank's and York's troubles did not end here. When they were sent to court along with the trio, they were faced with more counts of crimes than them: drunk driving, attempt to assault the police, verbal abuse toward law enforcement officers, racial discrimination…
When Li Du heard Luo Qun, his jaw dropped as he stared at her. He had only wanted to teach them a lesson, to get them to back off, to leave Flagstaff, to return to California, instead of creating trouble for him here.
In the end, both of them had dug their own graves. Besides drunk driving, they even attacked the police, and hurled verbal abuse at Luo Qun at the police station.
When Li Du told Hans about the incident, Hans said, ”What can I say? That jerk was bound to suffer self-destruction thanks to that character of his!”
”Are those words what Boss once said?” Godzilla wondered.
Hans said cheekily, ”Li said this, but I'm saying it again.”
Li Du said, ”I feel guilty—have we gone overboard?”
”Overboard?” Hans scoffed. ”They were courting death! But you're indeed amazing—how did you know your three countrymen were trouble? And then conveniently create this trap for Frank and York to fall into?”
”Don't you know that I'm very good at judging people?” Li Du asked. ”They had actually wanted to cheat me—that was really courting death!”
They opened the box, and a set of armor appeared before them.
This set of armor was gleaming with silvery splendor. Being a chain type of armor, it could be divided into a few parts—body, helmet, gloves, leg guards, et cetera, and were all silver metal.
Together with this set of armor were some silver tubes, which could be fixed together. Godzilla and Big Quinn assembled them and a long rifle of about ten feet was formed.
”Dragoon Rifle!” Hans carried it excitedly and said, ”This toy must be the Dragoon Rifle—could it really be made of silver? No wonder it's worth hundreds of thousands of US dollars!”
Looking at this classic set of silver armor and silver weapon, Li Du pondered and said, ”We can't keep these—we need to get rid of them.”
Hans looked at him in shock. ”Are you kidding? Why can't we keep them?”
