Chapter 1366 Chapter 1366 - Change the Order (2/2)
In this case, after gathering, the crowd began to make connections. Li Du saw several acquaintances, such as Black Mustang from his Million Dollar club, Playboy from the Hundred Thousand Club and so on.
Tucson's native treasure hunters had a cool demeanor, conniving in small circles, with a few loners here and there.
Princeps arrived with his men, whom he went out of his way to meet, and said in a cold voice, ”This is what you want to see, isn't it?”
The Tucson gang had split into several groups, and the boss of one of them did not have much respect for Princeps. He answered rudely, ”What did we want to see? What are you doing here?”
Princeps was so angry that he gnashed his teeth. He said, ”If the gang hadn't split up, we could still control the city of Tucson. How about now? Now Tucson's like a goddamn brothel, and anyone can come!”
The bosses could not control the situation, but they refused to give in.
”Is it us who divided the gang? Didn't you do it yourself?”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
”It's no use talking about it. How can we keep a roof over our heads, even with the Tucson gang? Even the mafia needs to be sidelined in an auction!”
”If you were willing to give up the boss's position at that time, the gang wouldn't have disbanded either. It was you who wouldn't budge from this position!”
”What are they talking about? It looks like fun,” Playboy folded his arms and smiled.
Li Du glanced at Princeps and the others and said, ”Who knows? I guess it's not about how to treat us to dinner.”
”The auction environment in Tucson is much better now. It used to be like some places in Texas, where you couldn't even look people in the eye,” said Playboy.
”Is there a rule like this?”
”Arcadio is not exaggerating,” said Black Mustang, touching his chin. ”Tucson is a grumpy place. Auctions need competition. The weather here is hot, and the people here are bad-tempered. It is easy to get into conflicts.”
”A little over a decade ago, there was an armed fight at an auction in Tucson that involved more than 40 treasure hunters and resulted in the deaths of two people.”
Li Du shook his head and said, ”It seems that I was lucky. With such an atmosphere, a foreigner like me would probably be in double danger.”
”Come on! If you can travel all over the world, from Antarctica to the Arctic, the Tucson thugs are small potatoes for you,” Black Mustang laughed.
The Tucson gang was a thing of the past. They were not in their peak, and they were divided. They even fought each other when they meet.
The auction was about to begin, and the warehouse manager was about to open a smaller warehouse. Suddenly someone shouted, ”Let's start from the larger warehouse! Forget the small warehouses!”
”Open the large warehouse, let's see the tank first!”
”Don't let us waste our precious energy on rubbish. Open the big warehouses first!”
At first, only four or five people shouted. The other treasure hunters thought it was reasonable and followed along.
Li Du smiled, walked up to the auctioneer and said, ”Let's start with the large warehouse. Our money is not limitless. If we waste our money on these random warehouses, it would affect our bidding price on a more valuable warehouse.”
The storekeeper shrugged and said, ”Well, that's OK.”
