No one saw clearly what happened. They only saw Li Du's figure flash, and Lil 'Rick covered his face and staggered.
This time, he really staggered, and the bottle in his hand fell to the ground.
Suddenly, someone gasped, "Li's movement is so fast!"
"The Flash, amazing!"
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Being slapped in front of so many treasure hunters, Lil 'Rick was furious. He picked up the bottle and roared, "Chinaman, I'm going to kill you!"
Godzilla stood up again, expressionless, his fists clenched.
Rick stopped his son and gritted his teeth. "Chinaman, you're really arrogant."
Li Du raised his leg and said, "See that?"
Rick thought he was going to kick someone, so he took a step back with his son.
Seeing this, the treasure hunters burst into laughter.
Rick was also angry, and roared, "Do you want to die?"
Li Du said, "Look at my shoe."
The bar was dim, and someone turned on his flashlight. The light shone on the shoe, and everyone saw a mouthful of saliva on the shoe.
Turis immediately flew into a rage. "Rick, your son is a bully!"
"This is too much, buddy. Really, you can't do this, you're insulting Li."
"If anyone spits on me, I'll beat him up so badly that he won't be able to recognize who he is!"
Lil 'Rick shouted anxiously, "F * ck you, I didn't spit on him. There's another person between me and him."
Hans sneered, "Why, go and get a DNA test?"
A bearded treasure hunter said, "You spat on Li's shoe with another person between you and him. This is normal."
"Look, is there any more saliva on the floor? No, Lil 'Rick, you're really good at causing trouble. "
Rick wanted to curse. The lights were so dark, even if there was a dog lying on the floor, they wouldn't be able to find it, let alone a mouthful of saliva.
But he really didn't know what to say, so he pulled his son out with a gloomy face.
Hans stopped him and said, "You haven't apologized, buddy. You have to apologize for your mistake."
Li Du shook his head and said, "Forget it, brother. I gave him a slap, and we're even now."
As he spoke, he turned to face the crowd of treasure hunters and continued, "I, Li Du, am a fair person. I never bully others or bully the weak!"
"Good man." Everyone gave him a thumbs up.
Rick knew that he couldn't stay here any longer. He had high blood pressure, and if he continued to stay here, he might have a cerebral hemorrhage.
Lil 'Rick was even angrier. He said to Li Du with resentment, "Let's see if you can still be so arrogant after this auction!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Rick's expression changed and he quickly pushed him out of the door.
After the two of them left, the treasure hunters in the bar followed Li Du and Hans even more closely.
They drank until midnight. The next morning, Li Du got up and ran along a small path to the fields.
There were many farms and pastures around the town, but the crops were not growing well. It was obvious that the land here was barren and not suitable for agriculture.
Breakfast was milk and coarse grain hamburgers. The four of them ate forty hamburgers, which made the hotel owner's heart ache.
The hotel provided free breakfast, which was why they had chosen to stay here the day before.
After breakfast, they went to Vendetta Storage Company.
Li Du asked if the company's name was because of the conflict between the two families in town. Hans shrugged and said, "Who knows? Maybe? "
"How bad was the conflict between the two families?"
Hans said, "The road we're on now is one of the main roads in town. It's called A Bucket of Blood because of the conflict between the two families.
"Every time there's a conflict, a bucket of blood will flow!"
On the way, they passed by a quiet museum. Just like the one they saw in Kingman, this museum was also about Route 66.
The museum did not look big. It had a two-story building and a very quiet and clean yard.
Hans said, "This used to be the location of the Mahogany Gallery. After they moved away, the museum moved here."
Every museum had a strong temptation for Li Du, because there were often good things full of time energy in museums.
Such things were attractive to the little bug, but he did not want to let the little bug absorb the time energy in the museum. It would make him feel like he was stealing.
As they walked around the town, Li Du realized that the town was not small, but it was a little run-down.
Knowing what he was thinking, Hans laughed and said, "Of course, it's not small. Many people call Holbrook a small city, not a small town."
Vendetta Storage Company was not small either; it had at least a hundred storage units.
Li Du was puzzled and said, "Alright, this town is not small, but there shouldn't be five hundred households, right? Who would rent such a big storage company to? "
Hans said, "Some storage units are not prepared for the local residents, but for businessmen. You see, Holbrook has a lot of farms and farms. Every year, a lot of farmers and ranchers come to purchase. "
Li Du nodded and said, "Oh, farmers and ranchers rent these storage units?"
Hans said, "Yes, but it's hard to find storage units left by farmers and ranchers. They are very stingy and have a good memory. They will take everything away."
As they chatted, the two of them entered the storage unit. Hans handed him a piece of paper that recorded the storage units that would be auctioned off this time.
There were quite a lot of storage units to be auctioned — a total of 14. According to Hans's information, half of these 14 storage units were left behind by the Mahogany Gallery.
Li Du looked at these seven storage units first. When the little bug flew into the first storage unit, which was number 41, he saw the scattered solid wood furniture.
Seeing this, he was surprised at first, but then confused. Mahogany was a very expensive piece of furniture. Why would the Mahogany Gallery leave so much valuable furniture here?
Seven storage units were connected together. The little bug flew to the next storage unit. There was also a set of solid wood furniture. It was a set of dining tables and chairs.
Li Du's frown deepened. This was not right. A set of mahogany tables and chairs cost 20,000 dollars. How rich would the company be to leave 20,000 dollars here?
He thought back to the news he had seen the day before. It had said that "considering the cost of transportation and labor, and also to give back to the consumers," the Gallery's inventory would not be moved to the new location. Instead, it would be disposed of through a clearance auction.
From the looks of it, the clearance auction was not a success. There was still a lot of mahogany furniture that had not been sold.
So why didn't they take it away? No matter how high the transportation and labor costs were, could they be more expensive than the mahogany furniture?
A series of doubts appeared in Li Du's mind. He continued to look down and saw that all seven storage units contained valuable mahogany furniture. The sixth storage unit was an exception. There were tools, paint, and a few boxes filled with mahogany wood or logs.
Li Du felt that something was not right. He called Hans over and said, "Pull up the news we've seen, and then search for information about that Mahogany Gallery."
Hans nodded and took out his phone to search. After a while, he said, "Grand Mahogany Gallery. This mahogany shop is not well-known. Other than the news, there's not much information about it."
Li Du said, "Keep searching. See if there's any news that this mahogany shop sells fake goods."
Yes, he suspected that he had come across a fake mahogany shop!
