If Li Du had made such a request when he had first started out, he would have surely been mocked by everyone.
However, now that he had established a reputation for himself, the treasure hunters would not make fun of him. Also, it was a request that everyone was thinking in their hearts too.
After the auctioneer rejected it, more people started making the same request:
"Hey old man, let us in to see. Why would we dare risk it if we’re just outside?"
"I have the money, but I don’t dare spend it unless you let me go in and see."
"Is it all really mahogany? If so, then why are you afraid of letting us in to see?"
The auctioneer blocked the entrance like a statue. He was unfazed by the requests and threats coming from the treasure hunters.
