Chapter 1090 Top Tactic (1/2)

As the second warehouse was opened up for viewing, Hans exchanged a look with Li

Du. He said, ”That idiot has set his eyes on us and will be following us, should we get

rid of him?”

There was a reason why treasure hunters did not follow other people's bids without a

reason. Although they knew that some treasure hunters had good foresight and timely

and accurate information, they did not follow blindly. That was because they knew some

people were more scheming and cunning than others. If they fell into a trap, they would

be doomed.

Unless they were prepared to take a high risk, most treasure hunters would still rely on

their own foresight and make their bids in a more grounded manner.

Li Du shook his head and said in a low voice, ”That dude is very smart, he would not be

fooled so easily. Let's try later. I will give it a shot.”

There were many daily necessities and some random items in the second warehouse.

These were most likely things the prisoners had left behind when they got out of prison.

The prison workers must have been too lazy to organize them and had thrown them into

the warehouse.

That warehouse did not have much value. Li Du did not spot any items that could be

sold off easily. He could only make money from that warehouse if he got it for free.

When the bidding began, Li Du called out his bid. He did so early, when the price was at

two thousand dollars.

After he made his bid, Li Du turned his attention to Princeps.

Obviously, Princeps was conscious that Li Du would be looking at him. Hence, he no

longer camouflaged himself in the crowd but stood up.

However, he did not challenge the bid but only rubbed his beard, smiling at Li Du.

Li Du continued to up the bid, raising it to four thousand dollars. Still, Princeps had not

made a counter-bid.

At that point, other treasure hunters had joined the bidding and Li Du stepped aside.

Seeing that, Princeps looked even happier.

After the second warehouse had been auctioned off, Princeps walked past Li Du and

laughed. ”You want to up the bid? I will not be fooled. I will snatch the real, valuable

warehouse from your hands!”</p>

Baffled, Li Du looked at him and said, ”I don't understand, Princeps, are you godd*mn

crazy or something? Why are you targeting me?”

Princeps smiled proudly. ”Why, are you afraid? Let me tell you, I will keep targeting

you!”

Li Du shrugged his shoulders. ”What a mad dog.”

”That's a honey badger, okay,” Hans corrected him.

Since Hans had pushed Li Du previously, Ah Meng had set its eyes on him. Ah Meng

kept making trouble for Hans. At times, when he went to the bathroom and was

squatting over the toilet bowl, Ah Meng would jump off the window and bite him.

Princeps had members of the Tucson Brotherhood by his side. One of them said, ”Big

boss, why must we provoke this Chink? We should be making money, right?”

”Shut up,” Princeps chided. ”I have my own plans. We can make money by snatching

the warehouse from him.”

The Tucson Brotherhood members felt uneasy. Ever since Princeps met Li Du, he

seemed to have gone a little crazy. He was insistent on pitting himself against Li Du and

despite that, he had not reaped any rewards.

If Princeps were doing that because Li Du had provoked them previously and he wanted

to take revenge, the wild Tucson Brotherhood men would have been willing and happy

to help him deal with Li Du.

However, in the past, when Princeps had been with Conrad Anthony, he had been

sucking up to Conrad, treating him like a king and using all sorts of tactics to get into his

good books. That had displeased the Tucson Brotherhood. To them, Princeps, the big

boss, was not a strong, tough man.

Princeps was acting like that just for Conrad, and they could not fathom what he had

gone through.

George Anthony was a cunning old fox. He had looked Princeps up and warned him not

to go near Conrad. George had even extorted a huge sum of money from Princeps.

Princeps was the root of Conrad's and Li Du's conflict. After George had investigated

the conflict, he went on to extort money from Princeps.

Previously, Conrad had lost a few hundred thousand dollars in Los Angeles. However,

he did not have to suffer a massive loss in the end. That was because George had
