Will's villa was four stories high and covered a large area. It was built on the side of a mountain and looked sturdy and reliable.
There was a neat forest on the hill behind the villa. It was too dark and Li Du could not see the specific species, but he could hear the sound of pine trees when the night wind blew.
Will turned on the lights. The style of the villa was simple and unadorned. The furniture, flooring, and doors were all in the style of logs. It gave people the feeling of living in nature.
The basement was a storage room with wine racks and barrels. Will took out some red wine and a barrel of beer. Those were the drinks for the night.
Li Du said, "Buddy, you're really brave. Inviting strangers home for dinner is one thing, but you want to drink so much? Aren't you afraid we'll drink too much and cause trouble? "
Will turned around and smiled. "Why would a treasure hunter do that? You think I don't know who you are and invite you home? "
Li Du touched his nose and laughed at himself. "Looks like this country bumpkin is quite famous."
Will said, "Russell and I are good friends. He told me about you a long time ago. I chose to bid for your things because I want to make friends with you."
Hearing his words, Li Du asked, "Russell? Russell Douche? "
"Yes, that's the guy."
Russell Lynch was the boss of an investment company. Li Du had sold him many things, stamps, room cards, and so on.
The last time he and Sophie participated in the Church's auction, Lynch had even helped him. After that, he had donated the Winged Cavalry's armor and met Lynch again. The two of them could be considered to be close acquaintances.
Lynch and Will were in the same industry and were classmates. They had both studied finance at the business school of the University of Pennsylvania.
After graduation, they were colleagues for a period of time. Then they resigned together. Lynch chose to start a company, while Will was a lone wolf, working alone in the investment market. Both of them had achieved good results.
With this relationship, they trusted each other even more.
There were many collections in Will's villa. He knew that Li Du was a treasure hunter and asked if he was interested in the collections. If so, he could take a look.
Li Du was very interested in the things. He was not interested in how much they were worth, but what he could learn from them.
Now that he had set a career development goal for himself, he would definitely collect a lot of things in the future, so it was very important for him to broaden his horizons and learn about collecting.
However, he knew that it wasn't a good idea to look at her collection now that they had just met, so he politely refused.
Will was just being polite. When Li Du rejected him, he took the opportunity to change the topic.
Big Quinn and Godzilla had successfully slaughtered the sheep. Then, they sliced the lamb, cleaned it, and skewered it for barbecue.
Lu Guan pulled out the grill and quickly ignited the smokeless charcoal. At the same time, he activated the soundless range hood on the grill.
Hans adjusted the satellite TV signal and found the premium TNT sports channel. Will entered his membership number and they started watching the game.
The NBA usually started at the end of October. There were only a few games left, so the players were not exhausted yet. They were full of energy.
It just so happened that the game was between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Phoenix Suns. The Americans had a strong local sentiment, and most people in Arizona supported the Suns.
Will used to support the Suns, but after he moved to Los Angeles, he was conquered by the Purple and Gold Army. This way, Hans and Godzilla supported different teams, and they bickered while watching the game. It was very interesting.
Big Quinn and Godzilla were also fans. The two of them were in charge of the barbecue, but when it came to the exciting parts, they could not help but step back to watch for a while.
Seeing this, Li Du simply took charge himself and let the two of them watch the game.
The sliced lamb had a beautiful marbling. The lean meat was bright red, and the fat was white. Once it was heated, shiny oil droplets rolled out.
The oil droplets fell on the coal and turned into smoke, releasing a thick and pure meat aroma. The few people who were watching the game could not help but sniff and exclaim, "Smells good."
As the oil droplets rolled out, the meat began to sizzle. After a few seconds, a golden halo appeared on the lamb. The color was very uniform, and it was obviously good meat.
Originally, Li Du had prepared some seasoning, but Big Quinn told him that he could not use seasoning when eating such high-quality lamb. He had to savor the original flavor of the meat, so it was best not to use anything.
Therefore, Li Du directly roasted the meat slices, steaks, and skewers. Whoever wanted to dip the meat in the seasoning could arrange it themselves.
He served a large plate of roasted meat. The few of them drank beer while eating the roasted meat. The meat was tender, and after chewing, the fat was squeezed out. There was no smell, only the aroma of the meat.
After eating the roasted meat slices, the skewers were cooked again. Li Du took two big handfuls, and the group ate until their mouths were full.
When another large plate of roasted lamb was served, except for Godzilla and Big Quinn, the others were almost full. The two gluttons were gluttons, and they were still wolfing down the food.
By this time, the game was over, and it was almost midnight. Li Du made way for Big Quinn to roast the meat, and he began to wolf down the food.
During the day, he had let the little bug out for a long time at the market. He needed food to replenish his energy, and he planned to give the little bug a mission after he was full.
The mission was to look at Will's art collection. He did not want to absorb the time energy in them, just to broaden his horizons.
Doing so was a little invasive, but Li Du felt that as long as the art was not destroyed, it was not a big deal. After all, the collection and the right to privacy were not closely related.
While eating the fragrant lamb skewers, he waved his hand and released the little bug.
He did not control the little bug and let it fly on its own to look for valuable things, because he did not know where Will's collection room was.
After the little bug appeared, it circled in the air and then flew down. It did not fly to the villa, but to a small botanical garden at the side.
This botanical garden belonged to the villa area, and stretched for dozens of hectares. There were some rare and beautiful plants planted in it, and it was one of the highlights of the villa area.
Seeing the little bug fly over, Li Du felt strange. Could it be that there was some valuable treasure in this botanical garden?
The little bug flew straight to a bush, and then looked forward through its field of vision. Li Du was stunned. He saw a person lying in the bush!
This person was hiding in the bush, wearing a coat full of grass, leaves, and branches. In front of him were binoculars, a crossbow, and two daggers, one long and one short, stuck in the ground. There were also ropes, tape, handcuffs, and other tools in his backpack.
What attracted the little bug was a pendant hanging around his neck. It was an ornament that looked like a wolf's fang. It was very smooth, and had a light yellow paste on it. It was quite beautiful.
Seeing this posture, Li Du, who had just experienced a kidnapping, immediately understood what was going on. He had met a kidnapper again! He had met with trouble again!
