Treasure Hunt Tycoon

Chapter 136: Worthless Like Your Mother’s A*s

Lucas was also very excited. Anthony had called him after paying the 51,000 dollars to get him to come over and organize the packing of the storage unit.

Li Du had correctly guessed that Anthony was acting under Lucas’s instructions to follow his bids. But what he had not guessed was that Lucas had also come to Sedona.

To avoid humiliation, the Hispanic man did not participate in the auction directly. Instead, he waited at a motel, and was instructing Anthony and his men via the phone.

Anthony did not have the guts to buy a storage unit for 51,000 dollars. He had checked with Lucas before bidding at this price.

What he was sure of was that Li Du really wanted to buy that storage unit. After meeting up with Lucas, he said, ”I swear on my family name that that fella was crazy with wanting—I could tell how strong his desire was.”

”How strong?”

”As strong as you, boss, wanting Megan Fox!”

Lucas laughed, ”Then his desire was indeed very strong.”

”But in the end, it still belonged to us. That Chinaman has good foresight, but he still lost out to Boss when it comes to courage,” another man said sarcastically.

Lucas grunted and said, ”D*mmit—I’m really not sure why God favors him so much. This time, we better make a fortune. Otherwise, I will have to peddle drugs to pay for it!”

Although he had been making money from storage auctions, he did not have any concept of money and was a spendthrift.

He had suffered a great loss after spending more than 80,000 on the worthless advertising screen. This time, he had borrowed money to participate in the auction.

”There will definitely be a huge profit from this storage unit. The Chinaman had bid up to 50,000 dollars, and I could tell that he was very determined,” Anthony said reassuringly.

Upon the opening of the storage unit, many sculptures of different sizes appeared before them.

Looking at these stone sculptures, a delighted Lucas said, ”Everyone, be extra careful. There are sure to be famous works in here—don’t break any, I will not let you get away with it!”

”Don’t worry, Boss. Unless they are poorly constructed, they will not break,” Anthony said with a laugh.

Lucas had brought another two men with him, so, along with Anthony, he had a total of three men there.

After arranging for the three of them to sort out these sculptures carefully, he used his mobile phone to contact a sculpture expert from the School of Art at Arizona State University.

The call connected, and Lucas immediately smiled. ”Hi, Mr. Russel? I’m crazy Buffalo Lucas, do you still remember me?”

There was a gentle voice at the other end, ”Oh, I remember. You once sold our school an imitation of the ”Pietà”. May I ask why you are calling?”

Lucas nodded vigorously, ”Yes, yes…”

”Boss, no use in you nodding, he can’t see you,” Anthony laughed.

Lucas glared at him, ”Shut up, do your work. You will get it from me if there is any problem!”

”What problem could there be?” Anthony muttered. He had said this on purpose, given that he had done well. He thought such a manner of joking around could draw him closer to Lucas.

The call was still going on. ”Hello Mr. Lucas, what did you say? Apologies, but I did not make that out.”

Lucas hurriedly smiled. ”No matter, buddy. It’s actually like this; I would like to ask for your help. This time, I got a batch of sculptures, and there could be some good stuff in here…”

A scream interrupted his words, ”F*ck! Damn it, what the heck is going on?”

Lucas looked over in irritation, as he covered the mouthpiece, ”Anthony… Sh*t!”

He saw that, next to Anthony, a human sculpture had lost half its body and a huge pile of stone powder was at his feet. More powder was sliding down from the sculpture.

Momentarily, the few of them were stunned.

”What is going on?”

”Sh*t, I don’t know either!”

The expert’s voice could still be heard over the phone’s mouthpiece: ”Hello? Hello? Hello?”

Lucas couldn’t care less about the phone call. He mumbled ”talk later” and then hung up. Then he glared at Anthony and hollered, ”F*ck you! Anthony, what is going on?!”

Anthony said with a mournful face, ”Boss, I don’t know. This sculpture seems to have been poorly made. I only touched it with my hand and it crumbled!”

Lucas hurried over for a look. The sculpture was made from stone powder. He pushed it with his hands, and the other half of its body crumbled with a loud crash.

Now, he was at a loss. ”What—what is going on?”

Anthony shook his head vigorously; he did not know what was going on.
