Chapter 1042 Good Partner (2/2)
He darted forward to get hold of Conrad and drove two punches into his stomach.
Conrad followed in Carl's footsteps and fell to the ground as well. His body writhed like
a huge prawn as he started groaning.
The one man left had not said or done anything, and Li Du did not want to stoop to the
level of his opponents by harming him.
He walked over to their car and lifted up the front hood. Then, he struck the insides with
the high-voltage gun a couple of times.
The electrical circuit of the car was busted. If Conrad and his gang wanted to leave,
they would have to engage towing services.
Li Du and his group drove off. Only after making sure that they had really left, the one
man who remained unharmed moved to help Conrad up.
”Alright there, Conrad? What do we do? Call the cops?” he asked.
Conrad gritted his teeth, ”Call the police? No! Goddammit, I still have some balls! Merlot
is back in Los Angeles, right? Find him for me. I will deal with that idiot Hans Fox first!”
Li Du had been feeling troubled as he did not discover anything that was worth ten
million at Wild Golden Hill warehouse company.
However, the appearance of Conrad had greatly lifted his mood. Conrad had gone
knocking for punishment, much to the happiness of Li Du.
However, if Li Du had not been equipped for self-defense, there would have been more
trouble that day. Carl Wood was a professional wrestler and would not have been easy
to deal with.
That episode was a reminder for him to be extra careful, especially with that crook
Conrad. He guessed that Conrad must have kept an eye on him. Otherwise, they would
not have just happened to bump into each other in Los Angeles, which was not a small
place.
Although he had not managed to find what he hoped for in the warehouse, Li Du still
had to attend the auction.
He had confidence in Tang Chaoyang, and ultimately got the impression that the
information Tang Chaoyang offered was largely true.. There must have been something
that he had not discovered and he would need to return to search again.
It was a sunny weekend at the end of September in Los Angeles.
Autumn in Los Angeles was truly beautiful. The sky was a clear blue, studded with
pieces of pristine-white clouds.
The streets were breezy from the wind that blew from the Pacific Ocean. There was a
faint air of humidity and the temperature was warm with a tinge of freshness – a typical
example of autumn weather.
In the morning, Li Du and Hans started the car towards Wild Golden Hill.
That warehouse company was well known in Los Angeles. However, as the company
was not considered huge, not many treasure hunters came to join in the auction.
Previously, Li Du had been famous in the warehouse auction circle in Los Angeles.
However, in the past year, he had been busy searching for precious stones and stopped
being active in auctions. Hence, the treasure-hunters in Los Angeles had forgotten
about him.
Once he got off the car, not many people noticed him as he loitered around the
warehouse entrance. Only a couple of black men looked at him menacingly.
Those people were poor locals. They engaged in robbery and extortion. As the Chinese
often had cash on them, were timider and less likely to pursue grievances, they were
often targeted by these thugs.
Li Du was not afraid. I had dealt with warlords before, so what are these little bullies to
me?
Hans got off the car shortly after, and when the surrounding treasure-hunters noticed
him, they all looked at him with a strange look.
That made Hans wonder, ”Hi, buddies, have you never seen a dashing man here to
attend the auction? Or don't you guys know me anymore?”
”How would we not know you, Big Fox, my good partner? Long time no see, but you are
still thick-skinned like in the good old days,” a low voice rang out.
Recognizing that voice, Hans' smiling face froze as he turned his head around slowly.
Gritting his teeth, he said, ”Merlot Saisons!”
