Rick’s 60,000 dollars was already nearing the previous closing bid But for unit 42, it was just one of the first few bids

For unit 41, everyone had been reluctant to bid because they were unsure of the authenticity of the furniture

When it came to unit 42, the treasure hunters were now more confident since they had attempted to appraise the furniture with their oays and had received positive results

The furniture seeany material

As such, after Rick called for 60,000 dollars, there was someone who followed almost instantly:

”Sixty-one thousand dollars!”

”Sixty-two thousand dollars!”

”Sixty-four thousand!”

”Seventy thousand!”

The treasure hunters were raising the prices themselves There was no need for the auctioneer to speak, and he was happily watching with his ar crazy, all thanks to you,” Hans said

”Relax,” Li Du said ”With Harris here, the others can’t get this unit”

Harris was a greedyas he had confirmation that the unit would et it

Different people also had different evaluations of the unit Those who had her price, and thus would have a higher evaluation of the unit

Rick and Frank were treasure hunters ould appraise the unit at a her than the ordinary treasure hunters

Li Duthe bid to 80,000 dollars When the price came to that, he shook his head and backed out, as did many other treasure hunters As he’d expected, Frank and Rick were the two rehty thousand dollars ithin Frank’s acceptable range He hadn’t just called for people to validate the authenticity, he also asked them to evaluate the price for him; he’d received an esti as it was in the 100,000-dollar range, he illing to bid

Rick had also found friends to help hio up to 120,000 dollars Harris’s words were that anywhere under 110,000 dollars, they would ed bloith Frank and York: it went frolaring at Frank and York with a look so sharp that it see that there was only one person left coave a look to his two Native A for the two to take care of Frank

Rick noticed it and quickly held hi in a quiet voice, ”Don’t do this, Harris, they’re our allies!”

Harris said irritably, ”To hell with your allies What kind of allies are these? Allies for getting in our way?”

Rick didn’t want to offend Frank and York Harris didn’t belong in this business, so he could cause whatever troubles he wanted, but Rick could not

Especially right now, Frank was not the enemy; Li Du was He wanted to collaborate with Frank to deal with Li Du

If Harris’s men threatened or injured Frank, then the two parties would become eternal enemies

With that in mind, he stopped Harris He walked over to Frank and whispered to him, ”Buddy, you already have a unit How about you let this one go?”

Frank said belligerently, ”Dream on Who doesn’t want to make more money?”

Rick was ticked off However, he still had to hold back his te He wants to get this unit If you continue bidding, he uys”

”Are you threatening me?” Frank scoffed

”No,” Rick said patiently, ”that bstrd really will do anything to get what he wants I want to remain on friendly terms with you, Frank You should understand, that I’ to help you!”

York remembered how Harris had taken out the blade in the coffee shop He pulled Frank to the side and said, ”Forget it, let this one go”

Arizona was not their home turf Frank had a bad temper, but he wasn’tthe request and backed out with a grim expression

Rick ss with them”

The auctioneer pointed to the two and raher? How about 87,000?”

Rick and Harris were about to clai, when suddenly Li Du’s voice rang, ”90,00 dollars!”

Hearing his call, the vicious fire in their hearts that they were desperately trying to restrain started blazing Harris glared at Li Du withto

intilare, he had no other ways to vent his frustration

In fact, he was actually afraid of offending Li Du If Li Du went to their casino and ain, Marlin would kill hier and shouted, ”91,000 dollars!”

Li Du shrugged, indicating that he had exited this bidding He was just trying to provoke the two and didn’t really have the intention to fight with them for the unit

The auctioneer pointed to Rick and Harris again, shouting, ”91,000, anyone else? Going once…” After three calls, the unit belonged to Rick

Unit 43 was opened, and any furniture appeared

The treasure hunters went into an uproar With three consecutive units with precious any, there was no way the situation was normal The auctioneer continued hat he’d done for the previous unit and stood two steps back to allow them to enter

For this unit, it was still difficult to see any flaws solely based on the appearance The bids rose relatively slower, but everyone was still participating

Li Du knew that unit 44 was also a bunch of any furniture These were the ones that were pasted with a coating of any At this point, Li Du wanted to reveal the truth

For replicas like these, the best way to reveal their true identities ith the power of tiany and the actual wood inside would eventually separate As the glue weakened, the coating would fall off

However, it would take a long time: at least ten years Li Du naturally couldn’t wait that long He let out the bug to let it absorb the time from the furniture

Unit 43 landed in Harris’s hands The closing bid was lower than unit 42, at 75,000 dollars Soon, unit 44 was opened

Once again seeing a bunch of any furniture, the treasure hunters turned doubtful They began to realize that the furniture was suspicious Logically speaking, no one would let go of that any!

The auctioneer took two steps back and bellowed, ”Let the viewing begin!”

The treasure hunters queued up to enter When some of them approached the furniture, they sneakily touched the wood; it was one of the ways to discern the quality
