Chapter 878 The Son of God (1/2)

Li Du bid again, and the last collector who had bid $1,042 breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, most of the people who had initially been interested in the storage unit lost interest after they looked at it. Even if some of them were still interested, they didn't want to pay more than $1,000 for it.

Conrad's offer of $1,000 had discouraged the other treasure hunters from bidding, and after a small price increase, it was left to him and Li Du.

After Li Du offered $1,100, Conrad immediately raised his price by a large margin. ”Two thousand dollars.” His bid made the treasure hunters curious, with some crowding to the door and looking in, wondering, ”What's in it that's worth so much money?”

Li Du knew that the stuff in this storage unit was not valuable, and Conrad did not really want it. He just saw Li Du's offer, guessed that he was interested in the storage unit, and deliberately did this to disgust him.

This was a bit of a problem. After seeing the information about Luo Qun's parents' tragedy, he was so shocked that he subconsciously ignored the surrounding environment and let Conrad see his intentions. With his enmity with Conrad, the other side certainly wouldn't let him get this storage unit easily. However, he was sure he had more money than Conrad, and the things in this storage unit mattered to him, so he had take it.

After Conrad's offer, the auctioneer gleefully pointed at him and said, ”Two thousand, 2,000. This young man is determined. Two thousand, who wants to bid more?”

”Ten thousand,” Li Du said with a snap of his fingers. To him, $10,000 was nothing. His aim was to find out about Conrad's determination and finances, and he was confident he would not bid for the storage unit at that price.

When Li Du made the bid, there was an uproar.

The previous storage unit did not have such a high price. The highest so far had only been $3,600, and that price had been reached after a series of bidding. Also, the price had been raised only two or three times. A storage unit that went from the base price of $500 to $10,000 shocked the treasure hunters.

The hunters in Arizona, who knew how powerful Li Du was, wondered what treasure was in the storage unit as he bid for it. More people crowded to the door, but no matter how they looked, they could not see any trace of value in the storage unit. Because of this, the treasure hunters did not dare to take part in the bidding. If Li Du was wrong to make such an offer, or if this was a trap he had set, it would be a disaster.

Conrad was confident, although he couldn't see the value of the storage unit, either. He could see that Li Du was really interested in the unit, and that was why he was bidding.

The price of the storage unit went up to $10,000. The auctioneer was so happy, he pointed at Li Du and shouted, ”Ten thousand dollars, $10,000. It seems that someone has found its value.”

”Twenty thousand,” Conrad said slowly.

The crowd of scavengers was about to explode. What's in this storage unit? How could two famous hunters bid like this? Twenty thousand dollars... The other nine storage units together did not cost that much.

Li Du didn't want to fight Conrad, but if he wanted to threaten Li Du with the price, it wasn't going to happen. As he was about to resume his bidding, Bell squeezed over and whispered, ”This storage unit is absolutely not worth $20,000, not unless I'm blind!”

”That's true, man, but there's something important to me in it, and I've got to get it.”

”So that Anthony guy is bidding you up? Are you two bidding against each other now?”
