The news regarding Li Du's kidnapping had already spread. As this case was most likely related to his profession, the police investigated quite a few treasure hunters.
After seeing him, everyone's gaze suddenly converged on him. Some were pitiful, some rejoicing, some curious, but most of them were taking delight in his misfortune.
”Hey Li, heard you were kidnapped by a few rascals? Thank God you managed to escape.”
”Those rascals are really lawless and too dangerous. I actually didn't realize I was that close to danger.”
”Look at your silly self. Who would be dumb enough to kidnap you? What would they kidnap you for? For one more rice bucket?”
”Las Vegas is really too chaotic. I think I am not going to participate in the auction here again.”
”Is it chaotic? See, the Chinaman is fine. If this was Texas or somewhere else, I dare say he wouldn't be coming back once he was kidnapped.”
Princeps noticed him while commanding his staff to clean up the storage unit and looked over coldly.
The people from the Tucson Brotherhood put down their work one after another and gathered around Princeps. They were whispering something among themselves, seemingly taking delight in Li Du's misfortune.
Li Du, together with the treasure hunters who consoled him, walked over to greet them. The treasure hunters might be doing it out of goodwill, or only to join in or just observe the commotion. Although their purposes were different, Li Du treated them with the same attitude.
After a while, Princeps also walked over, bringing some people with him. He said, ”Boy wonder, are you okay?”
Li Du stretched his arms. ”See, I am very well, able to eat, drink and exercise.”
Princeps smiled. ”That's good. Truth be told, this incident made me feel so sorry. However, it's good that you are able to safely come back alive. Hopefully, you learned a lesson from this incident.”
Hans frowned and said, ”F*ck you. What do you mean?”
Princeps pointed at him. ”Boss Fox, remember the lesson; don't act so aggressively like Li Du. It will very easily incur hatred and make enemies. Still remember what I said before?”
”Move aside. No one cares what you said before,” Hans said, detesting him.
Princeps, without regard for the people around him, continued, ”I said before, the treasure hunters from the state of Arizona are not willing to be together with you guys because you stir up too much trouble. Especially Li Du, who has incurred the wrath of too many people. See, you're finally suffering for it, right?”
Hans could not tolerate Princeps any longer and wanted to punch him.
The Tucson Brotherhood gathered around, gazing ferociously.
Li Du held Hans back, smiled at Princeps and said, ”This incident is caused by someone I provoked? How did you know?”
After seeing his smile, Princeps sensed something was amiss and said nothing.
Li Du poked his chest with his finger and said, ”You shouldn't provoke me at this point in time.”
”I didn't provoke you. I am here to tell you the truth,” Princeps said calmly.
Li Du grinned and pulled out his phone to make a call. He said, ”Hey, is this police officer Wells? Yes, I am Li Du. I am calling you guys to provide a clue. Someone told me this kidnapping was done by an enemy.
”Yes, I have an enemy. At one time, I provoked some people from a gang in Tucson called the Tucson Brotherhood. Their leader is called Princeps. Yes, the Nazi Princeps.
”Besides his appearance in Las Vegas, I also formed a competitive relationship with him this time around. I think that he could be closely related to this case…”
