Frank Boll, a maniac with bipolar disorder.
Just now, the burly black man had pushed Hans, but Hans had only tried to scare him. That was because, with their status, they would be laughed at if they took a newbie seriously.
Moreover, it was Hans who had said those nasty things earlier, so it wasn't too much for him to push him if he wasn't happy with it.
But this time, Boll's push on Li Du was different. It was a clear provocation.
Los Angeles was a big city. That was true, but the circle of treasure hunters was not big. This time, the two of them had a few auctions to attend. Li Du was prepared to see Boll again.
He had not expected that they would meet again so soon, and that Boll would provoke him immediately.
York was still calm. He pulled Boll aside and said in a low voice, "Hey, bro, this is an auction. Don't cause trouble."
To Li Du, Boll was a patient with terminal mental cancer.
Hearing York's advice, Frank made his move. He pushed Li Du and raised his head arrogantly. "Hey, country bumpkin from Flagstaff, what are you doing here in Angel City?"
The surrounding treasure hunters blew their whistles and gathered around to watch the show.
Hans said to the auctioneer, "Someone is trying to start a fight. How should we deal with this?"
The auctioneer looked over with a cold face. Boll shamelessly shouted, "He stepped on my foot just now. He triggered my mania. This Chinaman is making me anxious!"
Some of the treasure hunters laughed, and someone whispered, "Oh my God, Frank is really smart."
That was how things were in America. People with mental illnesses were given extra protection. Otherwise, they could be prosecuted for discrimination.
The auctioneer shrugged his shoulders. He didn't want to get involved in this matter.
Because this was Los Angeles, Boll and York's home ground, the auctioneer's relationship with them was much better than his relationship with Li Du and Hans.
Seeing this, Hans's face darkened. Without a word, he turned around and punched Boll hard!
His reaction surprised everyone, including Li Du. No one had expected him to react so violently.
Boll was stunned. York reacted quickly and quickly reached out to grab his partner.
But when Frank came to his senses, he was truly enraged. His mania was easily triggered, and Hans punching him out of the blue made him very angry.
However, he had taken anti-anxiety and anti-berserk drugs before this, so he could barely stay calm.
He knew that Hans was doing this to provoke him and make him fight back. As long as the two of them fought, they would be expelled together.
Frank tried his best to remain calm, but Hans didn't give him a chance. After one punch, he followed up with another. At the same time, he scolded, "Son of a b * tch, didn't anyone teach you how to behave? Let Daddy Fox teach you … "
This time, Frank could not bear it any longer. His mind was in a mess, and with a strange cry, he pounced forward and wrestled with Hans.
The surrounding treasure hunters retreated, exclaiming and shouting at the same time. No one went up to pull the two of them apart. Instead, they were gloating and watching the show.
Li Du wanted to go up and pull the two of them apart, but his brain was working fast. Seeing that Hans had the upper hand, he did not go up, but tried to pull himself away.
The auctioneer called for security to pull the two apart. He pointed at Hans and roared, "Get out of here! Hurry up and leave this place! You! I mean you, kid, hurry up and leave! "
Hans yelled at him, "Of course I'll leave, but what about this b * stard? He was the one who started it, he started it! He discriminated against my brother, he insulted my brother, and you don't care? "
The auctioneer said, "Get out of here. D * mn it, I know what to do —"
"F * ck you, you know what to do. Is this how L.A. bullies treasure hunters from other places? You want to represent L.A. in a war with Arizona? "Hans interrupted him and continued to roar.
The auctioneer was so angry that his body was trembling. With a gloomy face, he said, "Security, drag him out! And Mr. Frank Frank Boll, please leave this place too! "
Frank pushed him angrily and shouted, "Are you blind, stupid old man? He was the one who provoked me. I was legally defending myself! What right do you have to expel me? "
York came up and hugged Frank, shouting, "Quiet bro, calm down! Hurry up and calm down! "
Frank had done that because his mania was acting up. Otherwise, he would not have treated the auctioneer that way.
But what was done was done. The auctioneer, who had wanted to let him off the hook, waved his hand and said, "Chase the two of them out!"
Four or five burly security guards came up to shove the two of them. Hans pushed the security guard back and said fiercely, "I can walk myself!"
Before he left, he gave Li Du a look. Li Du nodded to show that he understood.
He did not join Hans in beating up Frank just now because he wanted to continue participating in the auction.
According to the rules of storage auctions, if there was a fight, the person who started the fight or provoked the other party would be kicked out.
In this conflict, Hans was the one who started the fight, but Frank was the one who started the fight. If the auctioneer were to uphold justice, then both of them would be kicked out.
The auctioneer had wanted to help Frank, but with Frank's push and his vulgar words, he had lost his advantage.
After the two of them left, Li Du and York stayed behind. They looked at each other and smiled at the same time, as though what had just happened had nothing to do with them.
The auction continued, and the treasure hunters were discussing the storage units.
"Big Fox is such a loyal guy. I like him."
"The Chinaman is a coward. Big Fox stood up for him, but he just watched from the side."
"D * mn, I really don't know why they didn't stay in their own country. Why did they come to America? They're like d * mned pests! "
"York will definitely not let this go. Just wait and see, he'll teach that Chinaman a lesson!"
Li Du turned a deaf ear to the sarcasm and the provocation. He waited for the auctioneer to call out the price.
Everything had happened too quickly and too chaotically. To be honest, he was still a little confused.
If he had seen Frank first, the conflict would not have happened. He would have tried his best to avoid this lunatic.
But now that things had come to this, Hans was bound to be kicked out. The only thing he could do was to stay out of this and participate in the auction to earn some money.
That was why Hans had made the first move. Not only did he want to help Li Du, but he also wanted to get rid of Frank.
In their two-man team, Frank and York's team was led by Frank, with York as the coach. On their team, Li Du was the leader, with Hans as the coach.
Hence, if Hans could get rid of Frank, it would mean that they would earn more today. Hans did not believe that York's foresight was better than Li Du's.
