Chapter 1043 Trick Him (1/2)

For the first time, Li Du saw Hans with such an expression in his eyes.

The impression that Hans gave him since the beginning was of being cynical, free,

easy, generous, and enthusiastic. He was just like a wild horse who liked to live a

happy, enjoyable life. He liked to be good and to help others.

Thanks to such a character, he barely had any enemies and rarely hated anyone. This

showed he was much kinder than Li Du, who held onto grudges easily.

When two people participated in the auction, they would always encounter provocations

and would usually turn into enemies. The main problem was with Li Du, as Hans has no

enemies.

Now Hans showed the other side of him, angry, venomous, disgusted. Li Du did not

know Hans could show such an attitude.

He looked over to a tall man in white, who was smiling at Hans.

Rad-Anthony stood next to this man in white and Li Du guessed at once that this man

was up to no good.

Conrad has been living in his shadow, for Li Du defeated him multiple times. Although

Conrad's arms were crossed and he had a lively look on his face, the look in Li Du's

eyes made him shiver.

Li Du glanced over at him and Conrad quickly shifted his gaze. That was obviously the

reaction of a guilty conscience.

Li Du had already taken the measure of this cowardly idiot, but this time around, Li Du

was not interested in clashing with the likes of him. He was more curious about this man

who caused Hans to become so perturbed.

Li Du looked at him with interest and asked, ”Introduce me. Boss Fook? Who is he?”

Hans stared at the man and all of a sudden, he laughed.

The man, who was enjoying the angry and hateful emotions he obviously stirred in

Hans, found him laughing again. He was somewhat surprised and giggled: ”Boss Fook?

Who? Give me an introduction, too.”

Hans said to Li Du: ”Sly dog Merlot, my former partner in Los Angeles, is very good at

tricking people. He is the kind of guy who betrays his partner.”

Li Du could already guess the identity of this person, and Hans' words proved him right.

It turned out that this was Han's former partner who defrauded him miserably.

Li Du asked about the incident once, but as Hans refused to talk about the past, he

stopped questioning further. However, he always wanted to know what happened.

Now, his curiosity would soon be satisfied.

Merlot smiled and said, ”Hey, Boss Fook. Give me an introduction. Who is this man?”

Hans did not want to play along. He said to Li Du: ”Do you have your anti-wolf spray

and electric baton with you? I'd like to borrow them for a moment.”

Li Du guessed his intention and asked, ”Do you want to be banished from the auction?”

”Maybe you could just go in there and take care of it yourself.”

Li Du held him back and said, ”Just forget it, don't lose your temper because of this

idiot.”

Hans shook his head and laughed. ”Actually, I am not angry, man. I should thank him. If

not for him, I would not have returned to Flagpole City and would not have gotten a

chance to work with you.”

Merlot had been listening to the conversation, and when he heard these words, he

pretended to have come to a sudden realization. ”Oh, is this your new partner?” he

asked

Li Du nodded and said, ”I am his new partner. Why? What do you have to say?”

Before Merlot could answer, Li Du went on: ”You were brought in, weren't you? One of

your idiot friends came to challenge us two days ago. You could easily end up in the

hospital, so you'd better think before you speak.”
