Li Du and Hans were blocked by the group of shouting and singing treasure hunters It was complete chaos!
As someone had shouted a bid before the ruckus started, Li Du knew that the situation had gone beyond his control He shouted as loud as he could: ”4,000 dollars!”
He was certainly loud, but the ruckus was even louder The auction was aafter he heard the auctioneer shouting, ”3,100 dollars, 3,100 dollars, 3,100 dollars, anyone placing a higher bid? Very well, this unit is now yours!”
The auction for the unit ended!
Li Du was furious
This was a hu of the Tucson Brotherhood Princeps had nodded so his ainst the
They had split into groups to distract and prevent the duo fro their bids Then, they had another treasure hunter make a bid and, with the auctioneer's help, they quickly fixed the price and ended the auction It was a conspiracy!
When the auction ended, the treasure hunters surrounding them dispersed
Hans looked at him helplessly ”Now you see how bad the Tucson Brotherhood is, right? They are a bunch of thugs! This is the reason e auctions in Tucson!”

The third storage unit was opened for viewing Li Du still fuer when he joined the queue Several treasure hunters sniggered when they saw hi words were heard:

”You look like ht out there, he coht? No, ot castrated A, look at how pitiful you are”
Li Du was really furious Hans hurriedly whispered to him, ”They obviously dread your presence That means they are in awe of you and they want to provoke you Once you start a fight with them, you've fallen into their trap”
With a sneer, Li Du said, ”No, I won't fight theht? Fine, I'll deal with the to the earlier unit with lots of wooden planks and found the blueprint in one of the chests He let the little bug take in all the tiy of the blueprint and the piece of paper turned to powder
The auction for the third unit was about to begin
