Chapter 597 Luck (2/2)

At this time, he walked to the central area of the storage company. In the middle of the place was a three-story building with a sign on the door: King Kong Storage Company Office Administration Building.

What was interesting was that this office building was built like storage units and resembled three storage units stacked on top of each other.

Li Du whipped out his mobile phone wanting to take a picture. This was the first time he had seen a storage company with such an interesting office.

In the end, when he walked to the door to take a photo of the building, a car drove up. The door opened and someone got out.

It was a middle-aged white man with blond hair and a big belly. He was holding two large picture frames. He frowned when he saw Li Du holding up his mobile phone and asked, ”Hey, what are you doing?”

Li Du smiled. ”I saw this building and thought it looked very interesting. I only wanted to snap a photo.”

The blond man looked at him suspiciously and said, ”What do you do? What are you doing here?”

Li Du could feel his hostility and gave a friendly smile. ”I'm a treasure hunter, a storage auction treasure hunter. I'm here to check out the environment ahead of the upcoming auction I'm going to participate in.”

His tone was cordial and what he had said seemed legit.

But after he spoke, blond man's face changed.

His expression looked displeased as he frowned and glared at Li Du. He hollered, ”Treasure hunter? The auction hasn't even started. Why are you here? How did you get in? F*ck! That d*mn nigger is not doing his job again!”

Li Du had been observing his moves all along. Upon hearing his words, he suddenly recalled what the African-American security guard had reminded him of – that the owner of the storage company did not like colored people!

At this point, he knew his answer had been too presumptuous.

There was no doubt that this fellow was the owner of the storage company.

In the storage auction industry, the relationship between the storage company and the treasure hunter was one that was both interdependent and competitive. It couldn't be regarded as being amicable since conflicts had previously arisen between the owners of the storage companies and the treasure hunters.

Generally speaking, such conflicts occurred because the storage company was in a more favorable position, while the treasure hunter's status and social standing would usually be lower than that of the storage company owner.

Under such circumstances, the owner would usually make things difficult for the treasure hunters. Unless they were members of prestigious clubs, the owners might even ignore the treasure hunters.

Was it because Li Du was a treasure hunter or someone of color? How would he be able to get into the good books of an owner who discriminates against colored people?

He should have said that he was a tourist in Las Vegas wanting to rent a storage unit for keeping his stuff. The King Kong storage company was a large outfit. Every day, many customers and staff pass through its doors. As there would be many unfamiliar faces, that identity would be more plausible.

It was already too late. The boss had found out who he was and was blowing his top at that moment.

He threw the picture frames onto the ground, then went up to Li Du to give him a hard shove before bellowing, ”I asked you, why did you come here? Why did you come to my company? D*mn, many of you yellow people are thieves. Who knows what you're really here for?”

His words were stinging and Li Du's expression changed.

But one thing the owner said was correct - this was his territory and it was his prerogative if he did not welcome visitors before the storage auction had started.

And so he tried to avoid the blond man's shove and he summoned the little bug to use its time deceleration ability.

In the end, the little bug flew out and instead of awaiting his command, it charged towards the two frames lying on the ground.
