Valerie's words were not loud, but when she opened her mouth, it was as if she had dropped a bomb on the scene.
"Wow, Big Li has joined the Million Dollar Club?"
"Really? That's shocking news. How long has he been in the Million Dollar Club? "
"What's so shocking about that? He's Big Li. Did you know that he's groomed a few members of the Million Dollar Club? "
"Since when did such a powerful guy appear? Tell me, tell me. I've been in Chicago for the past year. I don't know about this. "
There was a lot of discussion, and the treasure hunters were chatting enthusiastically.
Hernando, the Mexican, was shocked. "You must be joking. He's … he's in the Million Dollar Club?"
With the gold hidden in the car at the border warehouse and the Animals of America, Li Du had truly joined the Million Dollar Club.
He felt that it was strange. In fact, he had not received the money from the Animals of America. There was a possibility that the Audubon Society would breach the contract. Hence, he was not a legitimate member of the Million Dollar Club.
However, it was only a matter of time before he joined. From a contractual point of view, he was already qualified to join the club.
He had just received President Bill's promise in the morning, and now this had happened at night. In terms of timing, it was too strange.
Hearing Hernando's doubts, President Bill stood up and said with a smile, "Actually, this is something I was going to announce at the gala. I'm very happy that this year, Arizona has two more members of the Million Dollar Club."
Conrad Anthony's face was livid. He looked straight at Li Du. The anger and jealousy in his eyes could turn into a raging fire and burn Li Du.
George Anthony looked calm, but his hands were gripping the armrests of his chair. The veins on the back of his hands were bulging. It was obvious that he was not much calmer than his son.
Bill had confirmed the news, and Hernando had nothing to say.
He wanted to argue, but did not know what to say. He could only mumble, "D * mn, d * mn, d * mn, d * mn, d * mn, d * mn, d * mn, d * mn, this, this, this …"
Li Du looked at Hernando curiously, then asked Bill, "Hey, President, did you arrange this? Is this guy cosplaying as a recorder? "
The surrounding treasure hunters laughed. Most of them were gloating. "This New Yorker is so embarrassing."
Bill waved his hand and said, "No, this is not my arrangement."
He hated Hernando to the core. Of course, he knew that the mastermind behind this incident was definitely George Anthony. He had wanted to embarrass Li Du, but he had not expected to shoot himself in the foot.
The conflict between the Anthonys and Li Du was no secret in Arizona. As the president of the association, Bill naturally knew more about it.
He had not invited Hernando. He had invited George Anthony. He had brought these New York treasure hunters with him.
However, the treasure hunters who could catch Anthony's eye were not ordinary people. They were at least members of the Million Dollar Club, so it was not a bad idea to invite them to the party as guests.
Bill's miscalculation was that he did not expect Hernando to be so ruthless as to threaten Li Du right in front of him. That was not giving him any face.
Valerie had gotten Li Du's permission to speak just now. He was angry that Hernando and the Anthonys were looking for trouble on such an occasion, and he wanted to deepen his relationship with Li Du.
Although the Anthonys had started in Arizona, they had now moved to New York. In fact, Li Du was closer to Hernando.
Li Du beckoned to Hernando and said, "Come on, big boss of New York, give me a seat. I'll sit here with you."
Hernando was too ashamed to continue arguing with him. He moved further in with a livid face.
Li Du stopped him, pointed to the back and said, "Where are you going? Go to the back. "
Hernando suppressed his anger and asked, "What do you mean?"
Li Du said, "I think I'm the goalkeeper of this row of seats. This is for members of the Million Dollar Club. Are you a member of the Million Dollar Club?"
Hernando did not argue further. He knew that the more he said, the more embarrassed he would be. He glanced at the Anthonys and went to the back with a sullen face.
He found a random seat and was about to sit down when the Playboy beside him stood up lazily and said, "I'm just a country bumpkin from Flagstaff. What right do I have to sit with the big boss of New York? Let's change seats. "
Hernando's face turned even uglier.
The party had not even started, but such an incident had already happened. The treasure hunters' desire to watch a good show was satisfied, and the atmosphere became lively.
Nothing major happened after that. Bill controlled the atmosphere and the party went on as usual.
After the party ended, people walked out, and people kept pointing and gossiping about Hernando.
Hernando was angry and embarrassed. He went to the parking lot, intending to leave immediately.
George Anthony hurriedly chased after him. No one knew what they said, but Hernando did not leave.
The party lasted for a total of three days. Within three days, half of Riverdale was booked by them. Everyone ate, drank, and relaxed to their heart's content.
Li Du hung out with the treasure hunters and got to know a lot of people.
He was not good at socializing, so it was usually Hans who dealt with such matters. In the end, he could not find Hans. Hans was probably too focused on studying the girl named Barbara Bryan.
The next day, the off-road truck race began.
The geographical environment of Riverdale was very advantageous. It was surrounded by river valleys, swamps, forests, and grasslands. In the northwest direction, near the Grand Canyon National Park, there were more trees and grass.
To the east and south, not too far away, was the desert terrain commonly seen in Arizona.
The race was held in the desert. The terrain was wide and the ground was solid. Although the trucks were heavy, they would not have an accident on such terrain.
The race attracted a lot of people, including the townspeople, who were looking forward to it. Like horse racing, this race could be bet on.
In the morning, the sun was still shining brightly.
Some trucks roared to life, ready to go out of town to the race venue.
Li Du turned around and asked, "Where's Big Fox? Did he not come back all night? "
The Playboy drove over, still in a fiery red Ferrari. When he heard Li Du's words, he poked his head out, took off his sunglasses, and said, "He won the girl? I underestimated this guy. He's really something. "
Li Du shook his head and said, "I hope he doesn't go overboard."
They got in the car and drove along the cinder road. After a while, the scenery of green trees and grass receded, replaced by a vast yellowish-brown desert, where traffic converged.
