Raot upset and said, ”Bro, didn’t you say to tell them?”
Carl yelled in exasperation, ”Shut up! Would I really tell them that information? Idiot, stupid bstrd!”
Li Du couldn't help laughing, ”Hey, are you two here to put on a coestion: don't be treasure hunters, go to Hollywood and act in couffawed at that co Carl for an answer
”What’s in the units? That thief can’t have disht?”
Someone joked, ”It’s also possible that he took the Rolls-Royce car emblem I read the news sometime back that someone stole the ‘Spirit of Ecstasy’ hood ornament of a Rolls-Royce”
Carl’s face went ashen when he heard those words
Most of the treasure hunters had a lot of world experience In no tiht? It’s really the hood ornarumpily and replied in a flustered uesses How could it be the hood ornament?”
A treasure hunter said, ”Itfor that ornament!”
Carl stared at Raritted his teeth and yelled, ”Scram! You stupid son of a btch!”
Someone teased, ”If Rambis was the son of a btch, wasn’t his sister also raised by a btch? Carl, do you ?”
Carl's face was livid with anger He left without saying another word, paying no attention to anyone else
Li Du asked, ”What’s going on? Why is he so angry?”
Hans explained coolly, ”If what they’ve guessed is right—that the units ht contain the stolen hood ornament—once found, the ornament has to be returned to the victim”
”So that’s how it is,” said Li Du, who now understood the whole picture ”Rambis is such an idiot How could he reveal such information?”
The competition between the treasure hunters was very intense, and everyone wanted to see each other fue unit contained stolen goods and it was found out by other treasure hunters, they would certainly report to the police
Ra very foolish They were now under scrutiny froone over to watch them pack up the units If Carl found the Rolls-Royce hood ornament, they would report it to the police
Hans went to pay and came back to unlock the unit ”We have to find it quickly,” said Hans ”The ornament could be in this warehouse too”
Li Du asked, ”How much can a Rolls-Royce hood ornament sell for?”
Hans answered, ”A new ornament can fetch 40,000 dollars But it also depends on the old and silver are the more costly ones
Li Du was startled ”It’s so expensive? Forty thousand dollars?!”
Well, when he had bought the BMW Z4, the car itself was around 40,000 dollars, and noas being told that a hood ornament was equivalent to the cost of a BMW It was a bit too much for him to accept, as he did not know ed ”Of course a Rolls-Royce hood ornament is that pricey Bud, it’s the Spirit of Ecstasy, also known as the ‘Spirit of Ecstasy’ It’s as well-known as the Statue of Liberty”
”No wonder Rolls Royce cars are so expensive,” Li Du exclaiape ”Dmn, just a hood orna wheel, and headlights? Are they hed at Li Du, ”No, it’s not like that You are so adorable and silly”
Li clenched his fist and said, ”What?”
Hans hurriedly waved his hand and explained, ”A Rolls-Royce’s hood ornament is considered to be its face and soul It’s the most expensive hood ornament of all The other hood ornaments are cheap, such as Mercedes-Benz's usual hood ornament, which is only 200 dollars
”The reason why the price gap is so huge is its creation process The Spirit of Ecstasy needs to go through six processes for six days—each one is hand-made by craftsold-plate it, so it is expensive
”I reht Rolls-Royce, they produced about 5,000 ornaments a year, and before that, the production quantity was much lower!”
