Chapter 613: The Little Bug Gains

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

As Knight entered, a warm smile lit up his cool demeanor, giving his appearance an indescribable charm.

“Hi, Li.” He gave the simple greeting directly.

Godzilla glared at him viciously with his eyes enlarged while making crunching sounds with his tightly clasped fists.

With his composure unchanged, the middle-aged man standing behind Knight took a big step forward diagonally. He then returned Godzilla’s glare with a chilling look.

Seeing that, Knight gave the middle-aged man a smile and said, “No need for that. We’re not enemies.”

The middle-age man nodded and then took a step back. Although he had not uttered a single word, he created tension with his thunder-like power, resembling a black mamba viper out hunting for prey at midnight.

Quiet, silent, vicious – killing with a single blow.

Knight said, “Li, there could be a misunderstanding between us. Did you think that I arranged for people to carry out this kidnapping?”

He had guessed the reason behind Li Du’s accusation.

Li had no evidence and could only give an embarrassed smile in response. “Oh no, I was too nervous and fatigued then. Being in a distracted state, I could have hallucinated.”

Knight didn’t push the topic. He said, “Although your interference caused me to suffer huge losses during my face-off with Akkalou, it’s very clear to me that you are not my enemy. I wouldn’t do anything to harm you.”

Playboy nodded. “He may not be a good guy but he wouldn’t intentionally cause anyone harm. Li, this incident had nothing to do with Knight.”

Knight flashed a smile at him and said, “Thank you, Akkalou. Thank you for choosing to believe me.”

Playboy ignored him and continued saying, “If he were to arrange for anyone to make a move, then it wouldn’t be kidnapping, it’d be murder. He wouldn’t kidnap anyone.”

Knight spread his hands wide open and laughed out loud. “You’re right. You really know me well.”

Li Du smiled ruefully. “Apologies, Mr. Ferrari. My groundless accusations have brought you trouble . . .”

“No need for apologies,” Knight waved his hand, interrupting him. “I came to look for you to resolve the misunderstanding between us. My men will find that fella who kidnapped you. I hope that when that happens, you’ll not think that we’re in cahoots with him. I will push him and his people out to get shot at.”

Li Du said, “Alright, no more misunderstanding between us.”

Knight went up to him to shake his hand and then offered him some well wishes before taking his leave.

This case had ended as swiftly as it had started. Now, it had nothing to do with Li Du anymore.

Playboy had promised him that he would catch hold of those thugs before he left Las Vegas.

Li Du felt assured by his promise. Now that both the police and the triads were hunting them down, even if the eight of them had supernatural powers, they wouldn’t be able to escape.

Especially since Knight was now involved – it would come in handy.

In a place like Las Vegas, the power the triads possessed was less than that of the police. This was America after all, the country with the most powerful police force in the world.

However, the police didn’t have as many pairs of eyes as the triads did. They may not have been as powerful as the police when dealing with people, but they were way better at hunting people down.

Li Du continued sleeping while Hans brought the rest along to clean up the storage units.

Godzilla did not join them. He sat at the doorway unmoving, much like a statue.

He felt terrible about Li Du’s kidnapping and hadn’t slept a wink since it had happened. He felt that Li Du had gotten kidnapped because he wasn’t doing his job well enough.

Ah Meow, Ah Ow and Crispy Noodles also stayed in the room. When the kidnapping had happened, they were the first to react.

But it was futile. The other party had acted too quickly and by the time they had discovered that Li Du was gone, he was already in the car.

It was too dark and the lighting was poor. As there were many treasure hunters walking around at the storage company, it was very chaotic. The smell was also overwhelming, affecting them greatly.

After sleeping as well as eating anything and everything, Li Du finally regained his energy.

He made Godzilla get some sleep while he looked at the outside world through the window. He felt he was more refreshed and energetic than before, as though he were a whole new person.

After he had released the little bug, he discovered it had become slightly bigger than before – it was now as long as his thumb. Its speed was also faster than before.

Previously, the little bug could fly as fast as 50 miles per hour. Now, it could hit over 60 mph, with its maximum speed being about 75 mph.

This discovery had led Li Du to assume that if he depleted himself completely of energy, the little bug could evolve. Although the evolution would not happen as fast as if he were using the time capability, it could still take place.

Yet, despite knowing this, Li Du did not want to accelerate its evolution using this method.

It was literally self-torture: the feeling of being completely depleted of energy was too terrible and the recovery process was similarly unbearable.

He had defined the little bug’s position as something that was used to enhance his life. He wanted to lead a good life and not torture himself for the sake of little bug’s evolution.

Hans had brought the rest to clean the storage units. The advantage of cash auctions was that one wouldn’t have to clean the storage units within 24 hours. The grace period was extended to 100 hours.

The six units they had gotten were of value – quite valuable, actually. Li Du no longer bothered with units with profits of less than 100,000 dollars. These he gave to Olly and the rest.

The Flagstaff treasure hunters were completely in Li Du’s camp, because by following him, there was money to be made.

Li Du was resting in the room when Hans hastily swept in. “Hey bro, guess what we found this time?”

“What did you find?” Li Du asked cooperatively.

Hans shrugged. “You gotta come with me to take a look. I wouldn’t be able to tell you all about it. Besides, the owner of the storage company would like to meet you.”

Li Du asked, “Owner of the storage company? The owner of King Kong Storage Company?”

“Yes.”

“Why does he want to meet me?” Li Du laughed. “The last time we meet, I thought he was filled with animosity towards me.”

Hans said, “I’m not sure. Seems like Knight’s men think that he’s connected to the kidnapping and had given him a warning. He’s scared. Oh right, you guys have met?”

Li Du told him the whole story about what had happened when he was scouting around the storage units and how he had bumped into the blonde owner.

He pondered and then said, “Since that’s the case, we’d better go see him. I would have to go to the storage units to take a look at your discovery, anyway.”

Hans patted his shoulder and said, “You are really such a nice fella. If it were me, I would make him visit me with a gift.”

It was obvious this incident had a lot to do with the storage company. The man with the cleft lip was a security supervisor there. He had been missing for two days along with two other security officers.

The three of them had been marked by the police as suspects and were being hunted down.

Li Du was visiting the storage company not because he was mild-tempered but because he was interested in the owner’s two paintings. The owner wouldn’t be bringing those along if he were to visit, so he would be better off taking the initiative to go take a look instead.

They drove to the storage company and at this time it was very busy. There were many cars there going to and fro, as the treasure hunters were all in the process of tidying up the storage units they had gotten.

On seeing Li Du, the busy treasure hunters created a hullabaloo.
