Chapter 613 The Little Bug Gains (2/2)

Ah Meow, Ah Ow and Crispy Noodles also stayed in the room. When the kidnapping had happened, they were the first to react.

But it was futile. The other party had acted too quickly and by the time they had discovered that Li Du was gone, he was already in the car.

It was too dark and the lighting was poor. As there were many treasure hunters walking around at the storage company, it was very chaotic. The smell was also overwhelming, affecting them greatly.

After sleeping as well as eating anything and everything, Li Du finally regained his energy.

He made Godzilla get some sleep while he looked at the outside world through the window. He felt he was more refreshed and energetic than before, as though he were a whole new person.

After he had released the little bug, he discovered it had become slightly bigger than before – it was now as long as his thumb. Its speed was also faster than before.

Previously, the little bug could fly as fast as 50 miles per hour. Now, it could hit over 60 mph, with its maximum speed being about 75 mph.

This discovery had led Li Du to assume that if he depleted himself completely of energy, the little bug could evolve. Although the evolution would not happen as fast as if he were using the time capability, it could still take place.

Yet, despite knowing this, Li Du did not want to accelerate its evolution using this method.

It was literally self-torture: the feeling of being completely depleted of energy was too terrible and the recovery process was similarly unbearable.

He had defined the little bug's position as something that was used to enhance his life. He wanted to lead a good life and not torture himself for the sake of little bug's evolution.

Hans had brought the rest to clean the storage units. The advantage of cash auctions was that one wouldn't have to clean the storage units within 24 hours. The grace period was extended to 100 hours.

The six units they had gotten were of value – quite valuable, actually. Li Du no longer bothered with units with profits of less than 100,000 dollars. These he gave to Olly and the rest.

The Flagstaff treasure hunters were completely in Li Du's camp, because by following him, there was money to be made.

Li Du was resting in the room when Hans hastily swept in. ”Hey bro, guess what we found this time?”

”What did you find?” Li Du asked cooperatively.

Hans shrugged. ”You gotta come with me to take a look. I wouldn't be able to tell you all about it. Besides, the owner of the storage company would like to meet you.”

Li Du asked, ”Owner of the storage company? The owner of King Kong Storage Company?”

”Yes.”

”Why does he want to meet me?” Li Du laughed. ”The last time we meet, I thought he was filled with animosity towards me.”

Hans said, ”I'm not sure. Seems like Knight's men think that he's connected to the kidnapping and had given him a warning. He's scared. Oh right, you guys have met?”

Li Du told him the whole story about what had happened when he was scouting around the storage units and how he had bumped into the blonde owner.

He pondered and then said, ”Since that's the case, we'd better go see him. I would have to go to the storage units to take a look at your discovery, anyway.”

Hans patted his shoulder and said, ”You are really such a nice fella. If it were me, I would make him visit me with a gift.”

It was obvious this incident had a lot to do with the storage company. The man with the cleft lip was a security supervisor there. He had been missing for two days along with two other security officers.

The three of them had been marked by the police as suspects and were being hunted down.

Li Du was visiting the storage company not because he was mild-tempered but because he was interested in the owner's two paintings. The owner wouldn't be bringing those along if he were to visit, so he would be better off taking the initiative to go take a look instead.

They drove to the storage company and at this time it was very busy. There were many cars there going to and fro, as the treasure hunters were all in the process of tidying up the storage units they had gotten.

On seeing Li Du, the busy treasure hunters created a hullabaloo.
