Li Du stood at the entrance of the small garden. Ah Ow held the fence with her front paws and continued to bark, "Ow ow! Ow ow ow! "
Ah Ow could not get in. The fence was very tight, probably to guard against dogs, wild cats, raccoons, big rats, and the like.
Li Du carried her in. As soon as she entered the garden, she ran to the front of the kennel and opened her mouth to howl.
Ah Meow leaped into the air and stepped on the fence with his four limbs. He stretched his body gracefully and landed on the ground without a sound. After landing, he ran two steps and jumped again. This time, he landed on the roof of the kennel.
Hans and the others gathered around and asked, "Is this b * stard here?"
Li Du pointed to the kennel with his chin and said, "Just look at Ah Ow. She's chasing him."
Saying this, he shouted in the direction of the kennel, "Hey, buddy, come out. It's so boring hiding in there. What's the point?"
The kennel was quiet except for Ah Ow's whimpering.
Li Du was impatient and said, "Don't force us to call the police."
Ah Ow had a tough personality. After howling for a while, she simply jumped into the kennel.
Seeing this, Li Du became anxious and shouted, "Ah Ow, come out! Ah Meow, protect her!"
If Ah Ow was an adult, he would not have to worry. Mexican wolves could beat up an ordinary man easily, but Ah Ow was only three months old and was still a wolf cub.
Even a wolf cub was not easy to deal with. After she rushed in, there was a scream from inside the kennel. "Sh * t, don't bite me! Get out! "
Ah Meow jumped into the kennel from above. Crispy Noodles climbed up the fence and jumped down to fight with his two friends.
A young man came out of the kennel in a sorry state. After seeing him, Hans was furious and jumped over the fence to hit the young man.
Li Du stopped him. The young man did not look like a bad person. When he was bitten by Ah Ow and Ah Meow, he only scolded them and did not hit them.
The young man's jersey was torn, and there was a big hole in the back of his pants. He reached out and touched it. His hand was bloody!
"D * mn, will I get rabies?" he wailed.
Li Du said coldly, "You deserve it. Why did you steal our ball?"
The young man was surrounded by a group of big men in the small garden. He could not run or hide. He could only admit his mistake honestly. "I'm sorry, I like Wade so much that when I saw his signature on the ball, I couldn't help but want to take it."
"I still f * cking like Angelina Jolie. Can I take Jolie with me?" Hans snapped.
Ah Ow was like a lion rolling a ball. Her front paws rested on the basketball, and she stood on her hind legs, pushing the ball out.
The basketball was not damaged. Hans quickly put away the ball and said, "Call the police?"
The young man was so frightened that he quickly begged, "Don't, don't, don't, guys. Don't call the police. Let me off this time. I'm just a basketball fan like you guys …"
Dickens shook his head and said, "The basketball enthusiast doesn't want to take the blame."
Li Du felt that there was no need to make things too difficult for the young man. Firstly, he did not cause them any loss. Secondly, his motive was not to rob them. It was probably because of his love for his idol's autographed basketball.
If he called the police, it would be determined as a robbery case, and the young man would be in trouble. He would definitely go to jail.
Moreover, if the young man had not snatched the ball away, he would not have discovered the full set of National Geographic. Therefore, for these reasons, he did not have a bad impression of the young man.
Seeing that Li Du didn't want to pursue his responsibility, Hans said indignantly, "Count yourself lucky to have met a soft-hearted man like me. Go, go buy each of us a bottle of Gatorade. Damn it, I sweated a lot just to chase after you! "
The young man hurriedly ran to buy drinks and a whole box of Gatorade for them.
At this moment, he also realized how big of a mistake he had made. Robbery was a criminal case!
Taking the ball and drinks, they went back to play.
Afterwards, Hans was busy contacting the Hopi to sell the siege towers. They had already agreed on the price, and all they had to do was send them back to their territory.
Li Du had thought that the Hopi would bring a bunch of hunting knives, coffins, and other items to barter with. In the end, they brought money. Obviously, they also needed money, unlike the Amish, who were completely closed off.
After selling the siege towers for 300,000 US dollars, Hans went to contact people to sell the valuable sports equipment signed by celebrities.
Li Du was more interested in the magazine storage unit. The full set of National Geographic magazines were very valuable, and he wanted to buy them for his collection.
Although the magazines were in the storage unit, they were private. Therefore, he didn't want to use underhanded means to obtain them. He wanted to buy them at a reasonable price.
He set the price for himself at one million US dollars. Spending one million US dollars to buy a set of magazines might be crazy. After all, that amount of money was enough to buy a big villa in Flagstaff.
However, in his opinion, the magazines were worth the money.
He had done some research on the Internet. The first issue of National Geographic was worth 400,000 US dollars. The 19th century editions were also very rare, but they were worth the same amount. The entire 20th century set could also be sold for about 400,000 US dollars.
Therefore, he felt that one million US dollars was a reasonable price.
When he found the magazines, there was no one in the unit. He waited for a day, then drove to the unit. After knocking on the door, there was someone in the unit.
Before that, he had arranged for Lu Guan to find out about the neighborhood around the stadium. Lu Guan was a know-it-all, so he easily got the information about the owner of the unit.
The owner of the unit was called Chalmers Diamond, an insurance salesman.
This unit originally didn't belong to him, but to an uncle. However, his uncle had passed away two years ago, and the house and the unit had been passed to Chalmers as an inheritance.
Li Du asked Lu Guan to find out more about his uncle. These books were very valuable. For his uncle to be able to collect such a set of books, he was definitely not an ordinary person.
The answer was unexpected, but reasonable. Chalmers' uncle, Old Diamond, was an ordinary old man. However, he had worked in many libraries and bookstores when he was alive. It must have been because of his work that he had collected these valuable magazines.
After knocking on the door, someone came to open the door and asked, "Who is it?"
Li Du smiled. "It's me, sir. Hello —"
He didn't finish his sentence and couldn't continue.
The person who opened the door was a man he didn't know. He looked gentle, his eyes were bright, and he always had a smile on his face. One look and you could tell that he was an intelligent person.
There was another person behind him. This person had a gloomy aura, his arm in a cast hanging on his shoulder, and he limped when he walked. This was someone he knew: Dog Ears Rick!
Suddenly seeing Rick, Li Du was stunned. Why did he meet this guy here? Wasn't Flagstaff too small?
Of course, Flagstaff was very small. There were only 20,000 people in the city, so the chances of meeting someone familiar were very high.
