Chapter 1090 Top Tactic (2/2)
looked Princeps up and made him fork out the majority of that sum.
Princeps was enraged and felt that Li Du was the cause of it all. Hence, he wanted to
target and pick on Li Du.</p>
When the third warehouse was opened, Li Du maintained on placing a bid during the
auction. Then, he observed Princeps' reaction.
Princeps continued to refrain from bidding and so Li Du shook his head to quit that
auction. However, before Li Du chose to quit, Big Beard Carl said to him, ”This
warehouse is worth up to twenty or even thirty thousand.”
Twenty to thirty thousand was a small sum of money to Li Du. It was not worth bidding
for. It would be a different story if there were something he was interested in inside the
warehouse, like a Taser gun.
Sadly, that Taser gun had landed in Princeps' possession.
Li Du did not bid for the next few warehouses, as they were not of high value. There
was little point in bidding for those.
When it came to the seventh warehouse, Li Du grinned and exchanged a look with
Hans. Li Du said, ”Take down this warehouse.”
Princeps had been keeping tabs on Li Du, but Li Du did not care.
At the start of the auction, Hans changed his bidding strategy. Like the regular treasure
hunters, Hans upped his bid slowly, one thousand, then two thousand. A slow battle
was started.
Princeps was a little cautious but he kept a sullen face and resisted from joining the
auction of that warehouse.
Princeps thought that it was another scheme of Li Du's. In fact, Princeps' only
motivation this time was to snatch a warehouse from Li Du.
He just wanted to take down one warehouse. Having pitted himself against Li Du for so
long, he felt that he already understood Li Du very well. Princeps' underlings had said
that Li Du was a cunning Chinese man. However, from his point of view, Li Du was a
cunning monster!
To fight head-on with Li Du, Princeps agreed that he was no match for the latter. Hence,
he could only use guerrilla warfare methods. He had learned from the Vietnamese
soldiers during the war and used the tactic of disrupting Li Du while staying hidden.
According to his research, the warehouses that Li Du was persistent in taking down
were all especially valuable. The value typically amounted to tens of thousands or even
millions.
Hence, as long as he was able to snatch a warehouse from Li Du, it was sufficient profit
for him.</p>
Princeps' strategy was to target Li Du and see which auction he would be attending.
Then, Princeps would camouflage himself among the crowd and join in the bidding
when he saw Li Du's interest in a particular warehouse. Then, he would take down the
warehouse Li Du wanted.
After taking down one warehouse, Princeps would halt. That was because if he struck
again, he might fall into a trap that Li Du set for him.
Hence, he was still staying around because he wanted to disturb Li Du.
From Princeps' view, that was the best tactic to deal with Li Du. Besides, he was not the
one who had thought of that tactic. Someone else had told him about it.
That person was none other than George Anthony.
Although George had extorted a large sum of money from him, Princeps did not hate
him too much. He felt that the tactic George taught him was very useful.
As long as he had the patience to deal with Li Du, he could definitely make Li Du pay for
what he had done. Besides, Princeps believed he would definitely make a lot of money
from that.
After Li Du took down the seventh warehouse, Princeps sauntered over and continued
to taunt him. ”Hey, that was nice. It's now a draw for us, you have also taken down one
warehouse.”
Not bothering to indulge Princeps, Li Du pursed his lips and left.
Princeps followed behind him and continued to provoke him, ”But that is the only
warehouse you can take down. The next one, the next warehouse that you make a high
bid for, I will definitely take from you. I will not let you make any more profits.”
Princeps was not doing that to cause trouble for himself. His motive was to taunt Li Du
and make him angry so that he would not be able to participate in the auction
peacefully.
That was also something that George Anthony taught him.</p>
