Chapter 880 What Do You Want to Do (1/2)

In Conrad's mind, he was the son of George Anthony, and even though George was now in New York, he had once been the treasure hunting king of Arizona. Since he was the son of the treasure hunting king of Arizona, that naturally made him the prince. So when he came to Phoenix and met the Tucson gang, and the Tucson gang worked to get into his good graces, he went ahead and took them in.

After what had happened in the parking lot yesterday, he knew Princeps had used him like a weapon. However, he didn't mind, because it demonstrated his status and value. Conrad had grown up doing business with his father. He knew that relationships between people were an exchange of interests. If he could not bring benefits to others, why would others try to please him? Now, it was Princeps' turn to bring him benefits, but he found Princeps was unwilling to step up!

The treasure hunters who were watching the scene had the same thought that Conrad had. They, too, thought the bids Carl, Ollie, and others made were at Li Du's behest, and that this was a contest between the two bosses.

As a result, they found the Flagstaff treasure hunters were extremely united. Li Du didn't need to say anything. They would still try hard to maintain Li Du's dignity while attacking Conrad.

On Conrad's side, Princeps didn't care, and he had to personally face Flagstaff's treasure hunters.

One of the treasure hunters said, ”Master Anthony, this is Arizona, not New York. Your servants are not here. You have to do everything yourself.”

”The storage unit is not profitable. What's the competition for? The more you compete, the more you lose.”

”I thought Princeps was his dog, but it looks like Princeps has his own dignity.”

It sounded like they were giving Conrad a way to step down, but they were actually holding his feet to the fire, forcing him to continue fighting with the Flagstaff treasure hunters so they could keep watching.

Conrad did not speak and fixed his eyes on Princeps with a fierce look. Princeps made a quick decision and ordered his men, ”Bid for the storage unit.”

Tucson's treasure hunters pretended not to hear him, and some even gave Princeps a disapproving look.

The auctioneer did not want to waste their time, nor did he have time to waste, so when Conrad and Princeps were not bidding, he waved and said, ”One hundred twenty-one thousand, 121,000, sold!”

Upon hearing this, Princeps was anxious and said, ”Hey, man, you need to give us some time.”

The auctioneer said, ”Your time is up. Open the next storage unit!”

”It's against the rules,” Princeps complained.

It didn't matter what rules it was against. The point was that he had offended Conrad.

Another treasure collector smiled and gloated. ”Ha, Princeps, you know that this is against the rules, but don't you and the Tucson gang often do the same?”

Many of the treasure hunters there were native Arizonans who had suffered the traps set by the Tucson gang's treasure hunters and were therefore happy to see him suffer.

The Flagstaff treasure hunters were thrilled. The group high-fived each other, and Ollie yelled, ”I got it! Kid, go back to New York. You can't get storage units in Arizona.”
