Chapter 1240 A Little Trouble (1/2)

When Li Du returned, several youths gathered around his tent, looking menacing.

They knew Brother Wolf went to find the owner of the telescope, so when Brother Wolf brought Li Du along, they knew it must be him.

A young man with acne spots on his face nodded to Li Du with his chin and said, ”How did my uncle's telescope end in your hands? Where did you get it?”

Li Du calmly looked around, and said casually, ”I bought it. What is the matter?”

He thought he was about to meet the owner of the telescope, but it did not look so, there had to be something else.

The young man fumed. ”Really? Impossible, my uncle attended the star party last year, and then he came home and went to the hospital because of acute leukemia. He soon passed away, so how did you have the opportunity to contact him and buy his telescope?”

One of his companions said malevolently ”Call the police, it must be this guy who stole Uncle Irwin's telescope. He took advantage of the chaotic situation at your home to do it.”

”Yes, you see, he is a Chink, haha. You know the Chinese, right?” Another man's smile was more malicious.

When they said that, Li Du became angry.

One of the things he hated most was racial discrimination, which was inevitable in America. When he just joined the treasure hunting industry, he was persecuted by racial discrimination.

As he was better known now, racial discrimination became less common, not because the core problem was solved, but because fewer people dared to offend him.

Li Du knew very well that the United States was a country of many ethnicities, and it was never his home. So he did not change his citizenship, he just made money in the United States.

The event of today proved that these people did not know him, and they immediately showed their malicious nature by playing the race card when they ran into a conflict with him.

Li Du was never a good-tempered man. When several people spoke like that, he lost his patience.

He thought he understood the situation now. His telescopes were legally acquired. This man's uncle must have been the one who placed it in the warehouse, but an unexpected death from acute leukemia left him no chance to retrieve the telescope.

All of this was very easy to explain. Warehouse rental was generally by the month or by the quarter, with most of the cases being a monthly settlement. Only old customers would be allowed to pay by the quarter.

If a payment was not made on time, the warehouse company could confiscate the warehouse contents and then put them up for auction in lieu of the debt.

Usually, the warehouse company would give the renter half a year. If the settlement was not settled by then, the warehouse contents would be confiscated.

The warehouse company of Fort Davis was pretty good. Their conditions were more flexible, and the owner would suffer debts to remain up to a year. The warehouse in question had not been unpaid that long, he just took the advantage to clear it before the star party.

Li Du knew the situation, but he didn't explain it.

He looked at some of the young men scornfully and said, ”Hey, man, you're looking for trouble, aren't you? You are here to take my telescope by pretending that it had belonged to your uncle?”

The youth with spots flared up, pointed to the telescope and said, ”This is my uncle's. He had made it himself. I accompanied him to carve the tree trunk. I'm not just talking, I have proof…”

”If you have evidence, go ahead, show it to your relatives in law enforcement. What the heck are you doing here arguing with me?” interrupted Li Du.

The youth was angry. He said, ”Good, you wait…”

”Well, I'll just wait here. But what do you want me to wait for? Are your cop uncle and your judge uncle standing up for you? Then you go back and tell them to hurry up, because I do not have the patience to wait for a long time,” said Li Du.

The crowd laughed as they looked at the scene, definitely enjoying themselves.
