After he finished inspecting the 11 storage units, Li Du revealed a slight smile.
Lu Guan was a sharp fella; when he saw Li Du returning to the car with a smile, he instantly asked, ”There's something good here, right? You discovered something valuable.”
Li Du looked at him and said, ”You're so sharp. How is it possible that you haven't made a name for yourself at the auction market?” This fella had a sharp mind, was a smooth talker, and had better listening abilities than most. The auction market should serve as a good platform for him to perform.
Lu Guan was unconcerned about this and shrugged. ”Who knows? Perhaps God thinks that I should lead a simple life.”
The two of them found a hotel in Scottsdale to spend the night. Li Du called Hans. ”Drive here with Godzilla and Big Quinn. It's not bad here.”
Hans asked, ”Should we bring Turis and the rest? These guys always stay at our site to hang.”
These matters could not be hidden from everybody; Li Du replied, ”Bring them over then. A few of the storage units are valuable. I think they will be interested.”
He was referring to unit 5. Even though many items stored in it were largely damaged, they were still from a renowned hotel. If the unit could be snagged at a suitable price, there would still be a profit.
On the morning of the 26th, Flagstaff's treasure hunters came in droves. They converged at Lava Storage company. Li Du waved his hand and the treasure hunters alighting from their cars flocked toward him.
Upon witnessing this scene, there was a Phoenix treasure hunter who mocked, ”Hey, have they become little puppies? That Chinese immigrant is your owner? What an embarrassment.”
Olly instantly gave him a shove, raised his eyebrows in anger. ”Abraham,” he said, ”your last name isn't 'Lincoln.' Don't just shoot off your mouth.”
The treasure hunter who was shoved became angered and together with his partner, blocked Olly and said, ”B*st*rd, you wanna get beaten up? I'll bash your nose until it's tilted on your *ss. What do you think?”
Flagstaff's treasure hunters gathered and Dickens pointed at Abraham. ”Dude, why are you trying to get noticed? You trying to be president?”
”To be honest, you're not Abraham Lincoln.”
”If I were you, Abraham, I would pick up my things and scram and disappear from here.” Over thirty people circled the three of them—Abraham and his partners became jittery.
One of his partners shouted, ”Hey, you Flagstaff peopled formed a gang or what? Come, the Phoenix people aren't scared of you all.” Scottsdale was very near in proximity to Phoenix so a lot of Phoenix treasure hunters were there too. That was why Abraham's partner was trying to bring them onto their side.
But treasure hunters were all crafty and wouldn't place themselves in unnecessary situations. Many people did not really like Li Du as his rise to prominence had been too quick, and he wasn't even from America, which resulted in them being jealous and resentful.
Abraham had humiliated Olly but his actual target was Li Du. Treasure hunters understood this—in fact, many of them wanted to humiliate Li Du. But these were just thoughts, and no one actually dared to instigate him—especially since Li Du had already united the Flagstaff treasure hunters.
People who had been initially standing around dispersed; some remained but had no intention of having any conflict with Li Du and just wanted to watch the show.
Abraham was frightened as the Flagstaff treasure hunters were closing in on him. He immediately apologized, ”Haha, I'm just joking. Just a joke.”
”Big Beard, my buddy, today you are very suave. Scottsdale's girls are clamoring for you.”
”Big Fox, let's have a drink later? I know there are a few good bars that recently opened. Many office ladies like to go after work.”
Li Du didn't bother dealing with this guy; he waved his hand in dismissal. Hans and the rest forced Abraham and his partners away before returning to Li Du.
