Chapitre 219: A Fiery Start

At 9 a.m., the auction promptly began.

Li Du’s estimate was not bad: there were thousands of treasure hunters. With the hustle and bustle of the crowd, the auction was expected to continue into the night. The conflict between him and Frank had become a hot topic, with people adding juicy details when relating their account; even the treasure hunters who arrived later knew of his heroic act.

Li Du had become the most admired of Flagstaff’s treasure hunters. Even the treasure hunters of Phoenix respected him.

While getting ready to view the units, Turis asked, "Li, why was that guy Rick so submissive toward you? What were two talking about?"

Li Du said with a wry smile, "If I said that I don’t even know what’s going on, would you believe me?"

Turis nodded earnestly. "Yes, I would believe you—of course I would believe you. You’re a son of miracles; you’ve done so many unbelievable things. So what reason would we have to not believe you?"
