Chapter 477 As Stable As a Rock (2/2)

The company opened its door and everyone entered to partake in the auction.

The auctioneer briefly recapped the rules and regulations, and the guards opened the storage unit's shutter with hydraulic pressure for everyone to view.

Li Du stood at the back, in the golden position. They usually left this for the treasure hunter with the highest status. A few treasure hunters, however, tried to fight for the position by claiming they were locals and went to queue behind Li Du. Li Du smiled and decided to mess with them.

Seeing the people queuing behind them, Hans extended his hand and pointed at them. ”Are you not fit to be seen? Why are you all hiding behind our *sses?”

They were angered but didn't want to spark any conflict, so they stared at him in cold silence.

Li Du shook his head at Hans, signaling to him that he did not have to interfere.

The team was moving quickly but was broken off at Li Du; he did not follow them into the warehouse to look at the storage unit and stood in his spot.

As he did not move forward, those at the back couldn't move either—now they were going to figure out who was more determined.

The order of the queue wasn't fixed. Li Du also wasn't blocking anyone from entering. If he didn't enter the warehouse to view, those behind could simply bypass him.

However, this would mean that they were giving up their position in the back, the treasure hunters did not want that. So they stood their ground to see if he would really not enter the warehouse.

Li Du and the people behind him remained still; after a while, the auctioneer couldn't tolerate it anymore, and nodded at the guards for them to close the warehouse door. ”Let's start the auction!”

The treasure hunters behind him looked anxious and hurriedly said, ”But we haven't seen anything yet!”

The auctioneer coldly replied, ”You didn't enter. I didn't think you wanted to partake in the auction.”

The tempo of the auction was fast as time was precious. There were 11 units to be auctioned. If a unit took an average of half an hour to be auctioned, a total of five and a half hours would be required.

The auctioneer needed to control the tempo and discipline of the crowd and could not allow the treasure hunters to challenge his authority. If he couldn't, this would not be easy to handle.

When he instructed it was time to close the door, the door had to be close. When he instructed that it was time for the auction to begin, that meant it must begin. Li Du and the others not seeing the unit was none of his business.

The treasure hunters behind Li Du were infuriated. ”Bullsh*t! Bullsh*t!”

Li Du didn't plan on placing any bids on this unit anyways.

The Flagstaff treasure hunters gathered around Li Du to ask for his opinion.

Li Du said, ”I didn't enter to see—what did you all notice?”

Dickens said, ”A few toilet bowls, a few bed sheets, and a few boxes. The boxes are sealed and organized. I think there are some good things inside.”

”I noticed the boxes too—there are ten of them.”

”Fourteen of them, I counted.”

Li Du deliberated and said, ”Test the waters. If it's below 2,000 dollars, take it if possible.”
