Chapter 1214 Trap Within a Trap (1/2)

His words caused the tension at the scene to loosen up.

Then the treasure hunters glanced at Eagle Beak Blade, who looked as though he was going mad. They waited for him to make his bid.

Hearing Li Du's words, Eagle Beak Blade really looked like he was crazy. His wide face went red, his eyes were bloodshot, and he resembled an angry bull.

The auctioneer looked to him, but Eagle Beak Blade's face remained solemn and he stayed silent.

Just like that, the bidding ended at the sum of five hundred and ten thousand US dollars. The auctioneer pointed at George Anthony, gesturing that the warehouse now belonged to him.

Some of the treasure hunters were rather disappointed and sighed, ”I thought that we would be able to see a warehouse being auctioned at one million.”

”This is not some army warehouse auction. One million? That's too much!”

”Why? Did the Federal Reserve Chairman become a treasure hunter? Who would take down a warehouse at that price?”

”The winning bid of five hundred and ten thousand is impressive. Buddy, I've never seen such a price tag.”

The treasure hunters chatted as they strolled away. The Eagle Beak Gang and the Anthonys remained rooted to the spot, stunned.

Conrad Anthony said, ”No… how did that happen? God, why did he retreat?”

Li Du was walking away as well. He smiled at Eagle Beak Blade. ”Although I joined in the bidding, I pulled out halfway. So you won't be too angry, right, buddy? It is not I who snatched your warehouse away. You won't make trouble for me, will you?”

Then he turned to George Anthony and said, ”I kept my word. Today, in a tribute to our friendship, I will not vie with you. This warehouse, I give it up to you. Congratulations.”

George Anthony wore a frozen smile and his eyes looked straight at the warehouse in front of him. He was silent.

When Li Du nearly walked past him, George Anthony suddenly grabbed his shoulder and asked with a forced smile, ”Your interest in this warehouse doesn't seem that great, does it?”

Li Du shrugged. ”Oh, I was very interested, but the price was too high. Unless there is genuine gold jewelry inside, it's not worth it. I don't want to take such a risk.”

He pushed George Anthony away and whistled to himself as he continued to walk down the row of warehouses.

Eagle Beak Blade could not bear it any longer. He rushed at Li Du and yelled, ”Hey, wasn't your auction reserve price six hundred thousand? Why did you withdraw without reaching your maximum bid?”

Li Du looked at him, surprised. He said, ”How did you know our reserve auction price?”

Eagle Beak Blade looked as though he would go crazy. He shoved Li Du and howled, ”Tell me, d*mnit, you son of a b*tch, what trick were you playing?”

Brother Wolf took a step forward, grabbed his arm and gave it a twist. Eagle Beak Blade's arm was pinned behind his back.

The people from the Eagle Beak Gang rushed forward. Madman, Firecracker and the rest took their places around Li Du. Their desire to fight was awakened, sharp like a newly-polished knife.

Li Du did not care about those thugs and said, ”Don't put on an act. If you want to fight, then do. I have fought with warlords in Africa. If you guys are trying to scare me, it's not working!”

Saying that, he continued to walk off and joined the crowd in viewing the next batch of warehouses without looking back.

George Anthony took a deep breath and was going to walk off with a dull expression. However, Eagle Beak Blade held him back and shoved him. Gritting his teeth, he said, ”D*mn you. Tell me what's going on! F*ck, f*ck!”

Conrad stopped him and said, ”Don't go too far, Eagle Beak Blade. We took down this warehouse. We won the bid!”
