After he was pointed at, the group of people looked over at Li Du and company.

Godzilla clenched his fists and mumbled, ”F*ck, what is it?”

Big Quinn held him back and said, ”Calm down buddy. Although I don't know what's going on it's surely not a fight!”

He was confident because with his appearance and build, other than the police, he had never met anyone who had dared challenge him to his face.

”It was you guys who rented this plot of land?” someone asked Li Du eagerly. ”It was you guys?”

Not knowing what to make of it, Li Du frowned and said, ”Yes, it was us. Why?”

”Two days? You guys rented it for two days? Left only yesterday?”

”Yes, why?” Li Du was puzzled.

A middle-aged black man yelled, ”What did I say? You fools, still don't believe me? This Chinaman stayed here for two days and dug up many boulder opals!”

”What?” Li Du was bewildered—what was he talking about?

The black middle-aged man continued to holler, ”If you don't believe me, you can go and ask Owen. Owen bought his gems, many gems! I dare swear upon the honor of the Christopher family name that he dug up many gems from here and sold them to Owen!”

As the crowd looked at him, Li Du frowned and asked, ”Hey, how do you know that?”

Although this man sounded like he was making things up, part of what he said was true: he had indeed found many opals here and sold them to Owen.

But how did he know this?

Li Du realized that they had been tracked and even closely monitored. He hadn't been aware that someone had been monitoring his moves.

His reply affirmed that the man was telling the truth. This news made the hunters even more excited.

Someone said, ”Christopher is right, I saw him. This Chinaman stayed here with his two musclemen for the past two days. They stayed here for two days!”

”Of course they found something. If you were at a place where you couldn't find anything, would you still stay there for two days?”

The man Christopher shouted, ”Yes, that's it. My friends and I were watching them. When they left to sell the gems, we grabbed the chance to rent this plot of land.”

”And then you found the gem mine here?”

Christopher said, ”In actual fact, we were not the ones who discovered it. It was this Chinaman. But as he was a rookie, he did not extend his rental. That's how we got the chance to rent it.”

Li Du's frown deepened. Hang on, what's going on? The gem mine here had been discovered by him? And he was a rookie? Forgot to extend the rental?

The reason he did not extend the rental was that there was no way of finding any more opals on this surface. These people were bullsh*tting, and using him for some devious scheme!

But he still didn't understand what it was that the other party wanted. To show off?

The real intention was revealed soon after. As more and more gem hunters came over, it was clear that Christopher and his friends wanted everyone to know what had happened.

The story was: Li Du was a gem hunting rookie. This was something that everyone knew since the community was not a large one.
