Flathead shrank to avoid the lioness' slap, but it could not avoid the lioness' mouth.
The lioness bit it and closed her mouth, wanting to bite it to death.
Somehow, Flathead struggled like a snake, and the lioness could not bite it. It fell to the ground and escaped.
Li Du knew the reason. The honey badger had a thick, rubbery skin. Its fur was hard and loose. If it was bitten by an animal, even a crocodile, it could escape by stripping.
After escaping, Flathead did not run away. It turned around again and clawed at the lioness!
The lioness was so angry that she stomped her feet. With a roar, the other lionesses rushed over.
A group of lions surrounded Flathead. Li Du could not see what happened after that. His vision was blocked, but he saw the lions surrounding Flathead, roaring and biting.
After a minute or two, a lioness picked up Flathead. At this time, Flathead was no longer as wild and fierce as before. Its body drooped softly in the lion's mouth, dead.
Good glanced at Li Du and said with a smile, "Look, this is what happens to warriors. They don't know what's good for them! The lions gave it a chance to live, but it didn't cherish it! "
Li Du understood that he was being sarcastic, but he did not speak and pretended not to hear.
After eating and drinking to their fill, the pride gradually dispersed.
The eagles flying in the sky and the hyenas hiding in the shadows were ready to move, wanting to get a share of the remaining zebra bones.
The driver asked, "Commander, are we leaving?"
Good kept staring at the bushes where the little honey badger was hiding. He said casually, "No, not yet. Let's wait and see. There's still a little warrior in there. I want to see how it dies."
They waited for a while, but the little honey badger did not come out. It was still hiding.
Good had lost his patience. He waved his hand and said, "Go, chase that little thing out."
The driver swallowed, looked outside hesitantly and said, "Commander, can we drive there?"
The pride did not completely leave. They rested on the hill, and the hyenas wandered around, looking for opportunities to get food. It was still dangerous there.
The soldier did not dare to get out of the car, but Brother Wolf did not hesitate. He pushed the door open and jumped out. He looked warily at the position of the hyenas, bent down, and ran toward the bushes.
He did not guard against the pride. The pride that had eaten and drunk their fill was not dangerous. They would not casually attack their prey because every time they attacked, they might be injured.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, lions, leopards, and other wild beasts did not want to get injured, because once they got injured, they might not be able to catch any prey in the future, falling into a vicious cycle and eventually starving to death.
The hyenas stared at Brother Wolf gloomily and slowly approached him.
Brother Wolf pushed aside the bushes, picked up a honey badger that looked like a puppy, and continued his journey with his back bent.
A hyena looked at him with drooling eyes and slowly walked towards him.
Brother Wolf turned around and glared at him fiercely. He suddenly opened his mouth and let out a roar, "Wooooo!"
The hyena was shocked and subconsciously took a step back, looking at him in bewilderment.
After temporarily intimidating the hyenas, Brother Wolf carried the little honey badger back to the car and calmly passed it to Li Du.
No wonder the little honey badger did not move. For some reason, it had actually fallen asleep. Even though it was being carried by Brother Wolf, it still closed its eyes and slept soundly.
Seeing this, Good's face turned ugly. The driver was so frightened that he lowered his head, his body trembling.
Li Du placed the little honey badger on his lap and gently stroked the thick fur on its back. He said, "This thing is quite cute. It is a little warrior. I like it. It is my pet now."
Good was silent for a few minutes with a gloomy face. Then he said coldly, "Return!"
The driver heaved a sigh of relief, as if he had been granted amnesty. He quickly started the car, turned the steering wheel, and left.
Back at the camp, they continued to discuss business.
However, Good did not achieve his goal. Before discussing the price, he wanted to bring Li Du out into the wild to scare him. That way, he would be able to ask for any price he wanted.
Now, not only did he not scare Li Du, he had also helped Li Du get a pet.
Back in the office, he opened a bottle of wine and gulped down two mouthfuls. Then he took out some beautiful small stones from his desk drawer and said, "How much do you want for these diamonds?"
Li Du had searched the office once before and knew where the diamonds were kept. They were all hidden in a safe, and the box was filled with raw diamonds.
There was also a box of raw diamonds in Good's desk drawer, as well as some of these beautiful stones.
These stones looked like diamonds, but they were not diamonds. They were probably what he had used to persecute the young miner.
Good had no way of cutting and polishing diamonds. After all, diamonds were very hard and required professional tools and skills to cut them. Good obviously did not have the ability to do so.
Therefore, Li Du glanced at the beautiful stones and said, "You can name any price you want. Anyway, I can't get rid of them for you. I can help you get rid of the diamonds, just the diamonds."
"These are diamonds," Good said fiercely.
Li Du said calmly, "Whatever you say. But in the future when I bring them to the market, if I can't exchange them for money, then the one who can't make money is you, not me."
Hearing this, Good suddenly laughed again. "Haha, haha, very good. I did not choose the wrong person. Mr. Li, you are a young hero. I am very satisfied with working with you!"
He kept these things and took out the small box of raw diamonds from the drawer.
The diamonds in the box were not very clear and bright. They looked a little gray. These were raw diamonds. They had not been carved and did not shine.
Li Du looked at the diamonds. The biggest one was the size of his little finger. Most of them were the size of soybeans or mung beans. They were ordinary broken diamonds.
After some estimation, he said, "Put together, one carat of these diamonds is worth about five to eight thousand dollars."
Judging the value of a diamond was very complicated. This was different from gold and other precious metals. All diamonds had to be priced based on a combination of many factors.
However, it was useless for him to say that. Good would not listen to him. Therefore, he could only give an average value after combining the value of the big and the broken diamonds.
Good shook his head and said decisively, "Ten thousand, they are worth ten thousand dollars."
Li Du laughed and said, "Good Commander, I don't know how you think of me. Are you treating me like a miner? Selling myself for you? If that's the case, you can set the price and I will do as you say. If you are treating me as a business partner, then you have to give me some room for profit. Ten thousand dollars, no room at all! "
Good looked at him with a strange expression and said, "I am treating you as a business partner, but you have to gain my trust."
"How do I gain your trust?" Li Du had a bad feeling. What was this crazy old man planning to do?
Good smiled mysteriously. "Don't worry, I will tell you what to do."
