Chapter 1214 Trap Within a Trap (2/2)

Eagle Beak Blade looked at him menacingly. ”Then will you guys pay up?”

Conrad's tone softened as he said, ”Let's discuss this when we get back. Let's continue with the auction.”

George Anthony sighed and said, ”We lost. Why, why do I always underestimate this bastard? How can he possibly be so cunning?”

Eagle Beak Blade stomped his foot and scolded, ”D*mn it. You guys have to pay for this warehouse. You guys have to complete the purchase! D*mn it!”

”Let's discuss this when we get back,” Conrad said. ”In fact, your profit at this auction is not shabby. You managed to take down number 77.”

Hearing that, Eagle Beak Blade looked slightly more appeased.

The auction continued speedily. The 142 warehouses that were planned to be auctioned off in the course of two days were all sold that day.

The speed of the auction was phenomenal and the treasure hunters bid for the warehouses like bees chasing after honey. The question of who could make a profit and who could not was postponed for when they would assess their purchases.

Li Du had taken down four warehouses and spent a total of 54,000 dollars.

They queued up to pay and George Anthony looked pale. When he saw Li Du, he smiled bitterly and said, ”You knew. You had planned this. You were just acting, right?”

Li Du looked at him, feigning confusion, and asked, ”What are you talking about?”

George Anthony did not reply but said helplessly, ”We ran into trouble. You are really tricky.”

Li Du continued to look puzzled. ”What exactly are you talking about?”

George Anthony said, ”I will fork out this sum of money. There's no way I can avoid that. This trade is too important to me, I cannot quit. So, just tell me. How did you know?”

Li Du smiled and said, ”I really have no idea what you're talking about. Goodbye, Mr. Anthony. Hope that you will find the jewelry in number 103. I hope that you will earn big bucks.”

It had all been a trick. Both parties had designed their traps and in the end, Li Du emerged as the victor.

In reality, George Anthony and the Eagle Beak Gang's plan had been very cunning. Initially, Li Du did not know of the relationship between them. He thought that the Eagle Beak Gang was targeting him because he was famous.

He overlooked the fact that two of his men had photographed the Anthonys and Eagle Beak Gang passing each other in the hotel. He had not considered that those thugs and George Anthony would gang up on him.

However, after he had used Time Reversal on the imitation jewelry in warehouse 103, he had noticed that things were not that simple.

From the scenes that Li Du saw, there was one in which Eagle Beak Blade and George Anthony were sitting around and drinking beer together. At that time, the imitation jewelry was placed on the table.

He had realized that it was all a trap. Earlier, at the hotel, the Eagle Beak Gang and the Anthonys had just been putting an act in front of him. Their conflict was just for show.

Then it all became clear to Li Du. The Eagle Beak Gang was a local Henderson gang. Why would they target an outsider like him? Although he was famous, The Great Chris Bell, Magic Hand, Black Mustang and the rest were even more famous.

The only possible explanation was that Eagle Beak Blade and George Anthony had ganged up to try and take Li Du down. They had somehow connected with the manager of the Macy's warehouses. They had placed fake jewelry in warehouse number 103 to try and get Li Du into their trap.

After Li Du found out, he did not make a fuss about it. Instead, he played their game and turned around to plan a trap in his turn. Hence, he was ahead of them and managed to lead Eagle Beak Gang and the Anthonys to their downfall.

If Li Du did not have the ability to cheat, he would have been done in.

Fortunately, now it was Eagle Beak Blade and the Anthonys who had lost the game.
