Chapter 281: The Arabian Man (2/2)

Seeing this, Li Du gri While the Arabianin bids

He becager!

In no time, the price rose to 10,000 dollars, and the number of bidders dwindled Andrew had withdrawn fro when the price reached 5,000 dollars

Once again, the Arabian , ”10,100 dollars!”

The auctioneer did not sound as enthused as when he was encouraging bids previously He looked at the Arabian ulations, I need to check your qualification for participation Hope you can cooperate”

The Arabian man was stunned; he asked, ”What qualification for participation?”

The auctioneer said, ”Please take out your participation documents and prove that you can pay 10,000 dollars”

The Arabianof this? Why are you checking ed ”Because this is the first ti you here—I’ve seen the others many times I need to e unit, and you’re not intentionally inflating the bid”

Li Du whispered, ”What’s this?”

Hans said, ”Just like what the auctioneer said, it’s to prevent people fro in bids and running off after”

Li Du understood what he h bid but could not pay, then the storage coain

Besides, treasure hunters would not hang around for long—when they had decided that there was no money to be made, they would leave If another auction for the saanized, hardly anyone would participate—it would end up being an aborted auction

He did not understand the first reason though, and asked, ”The auctioneer and the storage co?”

Hans answered, ”Of course not, this is to protect the trade Just like at Christie’s auctions, the owner of the item could not bid This is to prevent intentional inflation by the storage company, in order to increase profit”

The Arabianyour request to be checked I think this is ridiculous”

The auctioneer said, ”Trustby the book Where’s security?”

Hearing his shout, the four security guards responsible fororder walked over with their batons

The Arabian rily, ”You’re racist!”

The more he resisted, theby the book But if you think this is being racist, you can ainst lared at hiht you jerk, you’re in trouble”

The auctioneer said, ”Please produce proof or else I’ll have to ask you to leave”

That Arabian er, and hollered, ”Dun with ot the h money!”

The auctioneer said, ”I only look at what you have on you If you can’t produce proof, then you’ll have to leave Otherwise, I’ that, the Arabian et the proof now Pause the dmn auction, pause it!”

After the Arabian man had left, the auctioneer sneered, ”I knew this ashole was trouble Alright, 10,000 dollars, 10,000 dollars, 10,000 dollars—who’s willing to offer a higher bid?”

Li Du raised his hand, shouting, ”11,000 dollars—oh, not that—10,100 dollars!”

The auctioneer did not pay any attention to the second price he had offered and shouted, ”Okay, 11,000 dollars, 11,000 dollars, 11,000 dollars—is anyone able to offer a higher bid?”

The spectacle had caused the treasure hunters to quiet down To spend 10,000 dollars on a storage unit where nothing valuable could be spotted was not so they would even do under nor ”11,000 dollars” three tiht, this unit’s yours!”
