Chapter 1235 Fort Davis (2/2)

The scenery was pretty, compensating for the long journey. It was spring in the southwestern United States, and after leaving the desert, they spotted the first greens.

The road stretched far, and some parts of it were empty of vehicles for hours in a row. They were the only ones on the road.

From time to time, Li Du would stick his head out of the window and look back. He could always feel a strange sense of loneliness.

The Rolls-Royce was faster than the trucks. They would arrive in town before the rest and planned to go to the local post office to buy postcards.

Of course, those postcards were not for Sophie. Sophie had long decided to just follow Li Du on his travels and serve as the doctor of the team.

However, it was Hans who needed the postcards now. He had set his mind to follow Li Du's footsteps and form a lasting relationship.

In the post office, Hans wrote a simple message on a glossy postcard and dropped it in the post box. He hoped that his sincerity would move the beautiful golden-haired shepherdess.

During the break, some people noticed that and asked Hans what he was up to.

As he was hoping to get some advice, Hans did not hide anything and told the treasure hunters about his motives.

The treasure hunters snorted. Dickens said, ”You hope to impress her with postcards? I say you should just ride a Rolls-Royce or a Ferrari and get to Riverdale and let her see your fancy car.”

”That country lady might not recognize an expensive car. Just bring some money. Buddy, bring ten thousand dollars with you. I bet that no lady will be unimpressed by ten grand.”

”I say, why put in so much effort? Big Fox, you should just show her your bank account balance. She will fall for you at once, haha!”

Li Du felt that their jokes were getting too far, and so he thumped on the table and said, ”Don't spout nonsense. Big Fox has really met his true love. He is ready to marry that lady.”

”True love?” One of the treasure hunters continued to snort. ”Except for you and Sophie, I don't believe that true love exists.”

The treasure hunters' career required them to be on the go constantly. After all, there was a limit to the number of warehouses in each city. It was impossible that one area would have a steady supply of warehouses to be auctioned off all year round.

As they were often on the road, away from their wives, it was easy for families to break up.

Most treasure hunters were rowdy men. They enjoyed alcohol and women. While away from their wives, if they had made money, they would seek for thrill and fun wherever they happened to be.

In addition, their wives were no different. Often, when the treasure hunters return home, they would find other men in their beds, and some would even find out that the children they were bringing up were not really theirs.

In any case, their relationships and family life were mostly messy.

After seeing such occurrences and having similar experiences, the treasure hunters no longer held love in high regard. Better put, they only believed in money and not in love.

Of course, many treasure hunters still had happy families and good relationships with their wives. It was just that normal happy families did not attract attention. Scandal, adultery, and divorce were far more interesting and memorable.

The treasure hunters were crass, and even after Li Du warned them, they continued to crack dirty jokes. It was not until Sophie walked in that they shut their mouths.

Sophie could guess what those men had been saying behind her back. However, she was a smart lady and pretended not to notice anything.

”We are still two hundred and fifty kilometers away from the town. Everyone, drink up to replenish your energy and we can arrive at Fort Davis for the night if everyone keeps up,” Sophie told everyone.
