Chapter 1212 Popular Auction (1/2)

An auction of such scale was capable of attracting all the treasure hunters in the country. There were many warehouses up for auction and a large number of treasure hunters attending. It seemed that treasure hunters had come from all over the country.

As the crowd was massive, the chaos at the scene was inevitable. Many treasure hunters rubbed shoulders and it was easy for a conflict to flare up.

To protect themselves and to have a stronger backing, the treasure hunters would quickly form their own circles. The most common way for these circles to take shape was by state.

As a result, the people from the Eagle Beak Gang stood out. That was partly because they did not join any other circles and were just a few of them.

However, that was not the thing that made them stand out the most. Though they did not have large numbers, they showed no fear and were very cocky.

Of course, that was understandable. After all, they treated that place as their own territory.

Upon seeing Li Du, Eagle Beak Blade George walked over to speak to him. ”Hi, Mr. Li. How have you been these past two days?”

”Not bad, thanks for asking,” Li Du replied casually.

Eagle Beak Blade smiled. ”That's good. It's a bit messy around here. Hope that you guys can protect yourselves. On another note, you do know what's inside warehouse number 103, right? Remember, it is ours.”

Li Du pretended to be confused, ”Ah? What's in number 103? How would we know?”

Hearing that, Eagle Beak Blade laughed loudly. ”Haha, Mr. Li. You're very funny. You guys have bribed the manager of the warehouse and went in for a look. Do you think that I am uninformed?”

Hearing that, Li Du's face tightened. He said, ”Don't spout nonsense. I would not break the rules to enter the warehouse beforehand…”

”You know best whether you would or wouldn't,” Eagle Beak Blade patted Li Du's shoulder. ”You have a good memory, I'm sure. Buddy, don't push it. Otherwise, I will send some photos and videos to the Warehouse Treasure Hunting Association. That would not look good.”

According to the rules of the association, if a treasure hunter reached out to a warehouse manager to enter a warehouse prior to the auction, their right to participate in auctions would be revoked for a year.

Li Du looked at him and then smiled. ”Are you threatening me?”

Eagle Beak Blade laughed. ”How could I? We are law-abiding taxpayers. Threatening others is illegal. We never do that.”

Saying that, he narrowed his eyes at Li Du and continued, ”You know what I mean. We must get that warehouse.”

Crossing his arms, he motioned for his subordinates to leave. Some treasure hunters were in his way, but he shoved them aside.

A voice rang out behind Li Du. ”Ha, this guy is really menacing, huh?”

Without turning around, Li Du knew whom that voice belonged to. It was George Anthony.

Seeing that Li Du was silent, George Anthony continued, ”Seems like someone's got something on you? Then you are really in trouble now.”

Li Du retorted, ”Are you talking about those so-called photos and videos?”

George Anthony grinned. ”That's right. However, those idiots don't understand our trade, do they? Don't worry, even if they submit those photos and videos, you can still appeal. Unless someone's caught you red-handed in the warehouse, the association would not care about such things.”

Hans nodded. ”Yes, as long as nobody got their handle on you in the warehouse, everything would be fine.”

Li Du looked at George Anthony and said, ”Thanks for the reminder.”

George Anthony smiled and said, ”Don't stand on ceremony. We might have had some conflicts in the past, and I might have made trouble for you. But all the more we should be friends now, right?”

Li Du extended his hand and replied good-naturedly, ”Yes, we have a saying in Chinese. It can be translated as, 'More friends, more ways'. We should be friends.”

The two of them exchanged a handshake and George Anthony smiled cheerfully. He said, ”But I have to tell you, I will definitely be a strong contender at this auction. For example, if we're talking about warehouse number 103, I also know what's inside. I will not let it go that easily.”
