Chapter 1135 Season of Gain (1/2)

Princeps' situation did not affect the auction proceedings. The treasure hunters had told

each other about Princeps' loss and everyone at the auction soon knew of his

experience.

Some of the treasure hunters learned from Princeps' mistake. Obviously, the

warehouses all looked like they might have many treasures, but they were also full of

traps.

”This is unsurprising. Princeps had been overly optimistic. Just think about it, he should

have known. If the Lamborghini was working perfectly, why would the border inspectors

leave it in the warehouse?”

”The border inspection bureau are skunks. They hid the damaged rear of the car on

purpose. Should have guessed that there must be some problem.”

”Should be careful of those big, valuable items. The warehouse company and the

border inspection bureau are not dumb. If there was good stuff in the warehouse, they

would have kept it for themselves.”

The treasure hunters discussed this fervently, their voices heated.

However, they were right. The warehouses were entered into the auction because the

officials did not feel that they were worth holding on to. Otherwise, why hadn't they sold

the contents themselves to earn more money?

These theories and conjectures were rife among the crowd. George heard it and so did

Conrad.

The two of them frowned. George asked, ”Did you look for Princeps to ask about what

happened?”

Conrad said, ”I talked to him. He didn't say much. He only mentioned that that Chinese

dude is cunning. He is scared of that bastard and will not dare to provoke him anymore

in the future.”

”That weakling! Serves him right that he was unable to keep the Tucson gang together,”

George said.

Conrad replied, ”I asked one of his new underlings. That idiot didn't say anything clear

about the situation either. However, hearing what he said, it seems like Princeps had

fallen into someone's trap. He did not make that last bid for the warehouse.”

George frowned. ”It wasn't him who called out that bid? I saw how he raised his arm,

and I also heard his voice. It was he who bid four hundred thousand.”

Conrad shrugged his shoulders and said, ”Who knows? He said it was the Chinese

dude who set the trap for him. Maybe he was confused.”

”The Chinese guy must have set him up. At that time, the Chink kept raising the bid, and

Princeps just kept following. That brainless dude, he is really a stupid mule,” George

shook his head.

A commotion broke out in the crowd. The Anthonys looked towards the source of the

noise and saw Princeps.

Princeps looked awful. It seemed as though he had not slept the night before. His eyes

were red and he reeked of alcohol.

Running his fingers through his messy hair to tidy it up, he went straight towards the

Anthonys.

George smiled and said, ”We heard about what happened yesterday, buddy, you were

too unlucky.”

Princeps said listlessly, ”Yes, I am very unlucky, unlucky in having pitted myself against

that Chinese dude. I'm here to remind you guys to give it up, don't provoke that bastard

anymore. I'm going to stay away from him from now on.”

George grinned and said, ”What are you talking about, who provoked him?”

Princeps sighed. ”You think about it yourselves. I'm here to tell you guys the truth.

Yesterday, it really wasn't me who bid for the number 32. The Chinese man got

someone to raise my arm. He caught me off guard and pushed my arm up.”

George grew silent for a moment. Then he said, ”What about the voice? The voice that

called out that bid?”

Princeps replied, ”He also got someone to call out the bid. I know that the voice

resembles mine. That's right, I do not know exactly what happened, but it wasn't me

who called out the bid.”

Saying that, Princeps shook his head in anguish. ”I cannot beat him. He is not only

cunning, he had become invincible.”

Done talking, he walked off with heavy steps.

Staring at Princeps as he walked off, Conrad said, ”He's talking like he's in a movie.

This idiot has really gone mad, right? Listen to what he's saying…”

”No, he's right. China Li is changing. If we want to get back at him, we need to take note
