The treasure hunters lined up to enter the first house
Freddy was first in line, chatting happily with a few treasure hunters It seeood relationshi+ps with many treasure hunters
Bart was there too, but he was at the back of the line, solance at Li Du and Hans His expression was full of hatred and resentment
When the treasure hunters ca their heads
”Sht, we cae inside”
”The house has been cleared of all valuables Do they think we’re janitors?”
”Well, we can reood”
The house had a sofa set, a TV cabinet, and kitchen cabinets
But the treasure hunters were right; everything in it was practically trash One wouldthis house
nobody bid for the first house—even when the price dropped to only 100 dollars
The same situation occurred for the second and third houses as well The owners of these houses had taken all valuable items with them
The auctioneer, Humphrey, called out, ”Okay, these three houses will be bundled for bidding How about 100 dollars? Only 100 dollars, we all know three houses for only 100 dollars is a good deal—”
Bart raised his hand ”Me”
Another treasure hunter hesitated for a moment and said, ”One hundred twenty dollars!”
”Hundred and forty dollars!”
”Okay pal, they belong to you now” The treasure hunter shrugged at Bart ”You can perfor hot water on you!”
A cruel re Li Du another bitter glance
Freddy was standing beside Li Du and Hans
He sniggered and said, ”Seems like Mr Treasure Tycoon here ain’t interested in the old houses—not a single bid so far?”
Hans gave hi a bid? Are you trying to hed, ”Why would I do that? I just feel that you both aren’t as great as what others make you out to be The Treasure Tycoon froht?”
The surrounding treasure hunters watched the exchange between the three of them Li Du didn’t bother with Freddy and entered the fourth house
Freddy shrugged his shoulders at the surrounding treasure hunters, i that he had won the battle, and he looked proud of it
”This bstard wants to use us like doormats”
”Let him be,” Li Du replied ”He thinks there’s a doormat ahead and not sharp stones,”
The fourth house was apparently worth more than the previous three houses
There was a complete set of kitchen appliances: a coffee maker, a juicer, a toaster, and an oven—even the air conditioner was intact
The auctioneer raised his hand and said, ”Let’s speed things up, okay? There are thirty other houses waiting So the starting price is 500 dollars, 500 dollars, 500 dollars…”
Li Du nodded at Hans and he placed a bid: ”Five hundred, me”
Freddy immediately followed, ”Old Humphrey, me, 600 dollars!”
”Seven hundred!”
”Seven hundred and fifty dollars!”
