Flagstaff and Tucson were quite far from each other. Most of the treasure hunters had only heard of the Tucson gang's tyranny, but had never experienced it themselves.
Only Turis, Olly, and a few others had come to Tucson when they found out that Li Du and Hans had come. Not everyone else had come.
Some people had been here before and knew how despicable the Tucson gang was. Therefore, even with Li Du leading the team, they still did not want to come. They knew that even if they came, they would not be able to get anything.
Li Du realized that although the Tucson gang was tyrannical, they did not dare to go against the storage treasure hunter alliance. They still followed the rules of storage auctions.
In addition, although the leader of the Tucson gang, Princeps, was a member of the Million Dollar Club, he was not an expert. He should rely on luck, not foresight and ability.
In other words, his foresight and ability were not enough to make Li Du fearful.
What Li Du needed was the second storage unit, which was number 10. He was worried that Princeps knew what was inside and had arranged for his men to buy it.
However, after using the third storage unit as a test subject, he realized that it might not be the case. Princeps might not know what was in the second storage unit, and he also did not know the specific value of the third storage unit.
Otherwise, he would not have spent thousands of dollars to buy the third storage unit. This storage unit was bound to lose money.
The fourth storage unit had some value. There was a well-preserved car engine in it. Li Du estimated that it could be sold for three to four thousand dollars.
Moreover, this storage unit could be bought because the car engine was stored in a metal box and could not be seen from the outside.
He decided to fight with the Tucson gang, so he gathered the treasure hunters from Flagstaff and said in a low voice, "This storage unit is fine if it is within three thousand dollars. Everyone, split up and bid!"
After giving the order, he called Godzilla.
Soon, Godzilla and Big Quinn, wearing black vests, walked over with gloomy faces. Both of them were empty-handed, but their waists were bulging. It was obvious that they had come prepared.
Seeing the two of them, the Tucson treasure hunters who were chatting and laughing immediately shut up. They looked at the two of them with gloomy faces. They were not afraid, but full of fighting spirit.
This was the scary thing about the Tucson gang. The locals were aggressive and not afraid of fighting. It was not a good choice to be enemies with them.
However, Li Du was not afraid of a fight. Godzilla and Big Quinn were not only good for deterrence, but they were also really strong fighters. If they were to really fight, their side would not be at a great disadvantage.
The Tucson Brotherhood was not afraid of the two, but they did not dare to openly provoke Li Du.
As the boss, Princeps showed his tough side. He looked at Godzilla and Big Quinn with a sinister look, then walked to Li Du's side and said, "Hey, Boy Wonder, I've heard about you. You're very powerful."
Li Du said coldly, "Thank you. I also heard that you are very powerful."
Princeps smiled and was about to say something polite when Li Du continued, "You are very good at playing dirty tricks. I have to admire you for that."
Hearing this, Princeps was enraged. His face quickly darkened and he said, "China boy, are you sure you want to be our enemy? You want to be our enemy in Tucson?"
Li Du retorted, "You want me to be your enemy? Ha, that's what Hitler said to Poland in 1937, right? "
The German army attacked Poland, opening the curtain of World War II. He said this to mock Princeps, because the confrontation between the two sides was like the German army attacking Poland. It was totally the German army bullying them.
Princeps said, "Tucson is our territory. This is something that everyone knows. You came to our territory and stole our things. Isn't that making us your enemy?"
Li Du wanted to laugh when he heard this. He said, "No, Tucson is the territory of the Native Americans. It was Spain, Mexico, and the United States who stole their things. If that's the case, we should all leave here. The warehouse here belongs to the Native Americans."
Princeps patted him on the shoulder and said, "Very good, magical China boy, you are really eloquent."
After saying this, he turned around and walked away. With his back facing Li Du, he said, "Since you are willing to provoke us, let the war begin. But don't regret it!"
Another Tucson Brotherhood member walked over and said, "Big Fox, you are not a greenhorn or a rookie. You know the rules, don't you? Convince your partner not to bid against us. "
Hans said, "Your news is too slow. This is not my partner, this is my boss. He is my boss."
The Tucson Brotherhood member was stunned and looked at Li Du in surprise. For the first time, their gazes became cautious.
The Arizona treasure hunter circle was only so big. The people in the circle were familiar with each other. Hans was famous for his arrogance and slyness. To be able to make him change from a partner to an employee, it showed how good Li Du was.
After the tour, the auction for the fourth warehouse began.
"Those who are willing to buy this warehouse, stand up, stand up in front of me. You must let me see you. If I can't see you, I may not hear your bids!"
"Now I want to bid. This is a valuable warehouse. I think the price of 500 dollars is very fair!"
The price of 500 dollars was indeed very fair. Li Du directly raised the price. "Why 500? One thousand dollars! "
Princeps touched his chin and began to shake his head again.
Li Du waved to Big Quinn and Godzilla. He called them to his side and said, "Stand side by side and squat down."
The two of them squatted down and Li Du sat on their shoulders. Both of them were about 2.1 meters tall. Godzilla was slightly taller, but not by much, so it was quite comfortable for him to sit on.
Sitting on the shoulders of two seven-foot-tall men, the Tucson Brotherhood members were at a loss. They came over to block Li Du, but most of them were not even as tall as Godzilla and Big Quinn's shoulders.
It was a little ridiculous to do this, but it was the best choice at the moment.
The Tucson Brotherhood members looked up at Li Du and surrounded Godzilla and Big Quinn with a flustered and exasperated look.
Seeing this, Hans and the others laughed. "Li, what are you doing? Does the Mormon leader accept the worship of the believers? "
The Tucson Brotherhood members stared at him fiercely. They were extremely embarrassed. They could not stay or leave. If they stayed, they would not be able to stop Li Du. What was the point of staying? But if they left, it would be too embarrassing.
Hence, they were in a dilemma.
The auctioneer looked at them. It was probably the first time he had encountered such a situation. He was also at a loss. He stood there in a daze and momentarily forgot to bid.
Li Du said, "One thousand dollars, buddy, one thousand dollars. Is there anyone willing to bid higher?"
Hearing his words, Hans and the Flagstaff treasure hunters laughed even more happily. Turis shook his head and laughed. "Big Li, are you going to be an auctioneer?"
"If you are an auctioneer, you must be a fair and just auctioneer. You must be a great auctioneer, not like some trash!"
These words were very harsh. The Mexican auctioneer was furious, but he had nothing to say.
