Chapter 1062 Graffiti (1/2)
Li Du had not expected anyone else to make a bid. Surprised, he turned around to
identify the bidder. It was a bald black man who stood rubbing his chin and gazing at Li
Du.
The man was thin, with a small nose and eyes. He had a shifty look as he observed the
crowd. His eyes landed and fixed on Li Du after the latter made a bid.
Now that there was finally some interest in the warehouse, the auctioneer perked up.
”Ten dollars, ten dollars. Only ten dollars for a warehouse, isn't this a good deal? Now it
is at fifty dollars, fifty dollars, fifty dollars. Is there anyone who would bid fifty dollars?”
The auctioneer said enthusiastically in one breath.
Glancing at the bald black man, Li Du wondered, That dude has not made a bid up until
now, so why did he call out after I bid?
Based on his conjecture, there could be two reasons. First, it could be that the bald
black man recognized him and was purposely challenging his bid to win the warehouse.
The other reason would be that the man had not just been observing Li Du, but
everyone else too. Knowing that he did not have good foresight, his strategy was to
challenge other people's bids.
Li Du felt that it was more likely the latter. The black man wore an aggressive look and
his eyes were shooting daggers.
If that man knew Li Du's identity and background, he would not be looking so
menacingly. The treasure hunters who were familiar with Li Du would not typically dare
to provoke him.
With no new bids, the auctioneer was ready to announce the winner and declare him
the new owner of the warehouse.
Seeing that, Li Du said slowly, ”I will fork out fifty dollars.”
The auctioneer called out again for a hundred dollars and the black man with the small
beady eyes made another bid. Then, he glared more fiercely at Li Du before making a
gangster-like gesture of slitting his throat. He was trying to threaten Li Du.
That tickled Li Du. You want to scare me? Sure, I will play the game with you!
He gave a look to Godzilla, who squeezed through the crowd to position himself beside
the beady-eyed man.
Keeping his eyes on Li Du, the black man declared, ”One hundred dollars. This is mine.
No one will snatch my warehouse away from me!”
Godzilla hollered, ”One hundred and fifty dollars!”
As Godzilla called out the bid, he elbowed the beady-eyed man.
The black man turned his head with displeasure and saw Godzilla, who was tall and
burly. The hateful expression on his face disappeared at once, and he looked nervous.
Godzilla stared at him, unhappy. ”Hey, you son of a b*tch, what did you push me for?”
The beady-eyed black man rubbed his nose and made no more counter bids.
Pursing his lips, Li Du shook his head. That dude was clearly one of the scumbags who
bullied the ones they saw as weak, and feared the strong.
At one hundred and fifty dollars, Godzilla had helped Li Du save some money by
capitalizing on his threatening physique.
Li Du was confident that he would be able to lay his hands on the warehouse. Even
without Godzilla's help, he would be able to take down the warehouse by spending a
little more. Li Du believed that the beady-eyed black man did not have much money and
would not follow his bid once the price went up to one to two thousand dollars.
After all, the stranger had not really seen the value of the warehouse. All he wanted was
to snatch it from Li Du.
If the man had not resorted to such lowly means to challenge Li Du, Li Du would not
have allowed Godzilla to do that either. He was only paying the black man back with the
same coin.
After taking down that warehouse, Li Du had no more interest in the rest of them.
However, just as the auction of the fourth warehouse began, the beady-eyed man
returned with a few big-sized cronies.
Li Du smiled. Seems like that dude had gone off to get reinforcement.
The beady-eyed man kept his eyes on Godzilla. He was not aware of the relationship
