Treasure Hunt Tycoon

Although Lengbie spoke fluent Chinese, Li Du could tell that he was not Chinese. He was a native of Myanmar, and the shape of his face and dark complexion proved it.

Liu Zi had indeed a violent temper. He glared at the man and let out a deep breath which sounded almost like a growl.

Lengbie was not afraid of him and looked at him back in a mocking manner.

Zhong Dapao pressed Liu Zi down and said, “Eat your food and be quiet, we’re not looking for trouble.”

Lengbie smiled and put in, “That’s right, Master Liu, you should learn more from Master Pao. It is necessary to keep your head down outside. If you do that well, maybe someone will reward you.”

As he said, he waved his hand again and said, “Boss, put the bill of this table on my account. Master Pao is having a hard time now. He has a big family to take care of and has no money in his wallet. Oh, such a pity…”

Zhong Dapao’s blue veins stood out on his forehead. He was not a man of good temper either.

However, he was so poor that he kept silent. The other side was right. He was indeed poor now and could not afford to feed his compatriots anymore.

The boss put the bill in his account. Li Du acted as if it was his first time experiencing this. He looked at Lengbie and said, “Are you really treating us to this meal?”

Lengbie laughed and said, “Right, rest assured and eat, little brother. I’ll make sure that your stomach will be filled!”

Li Du smiled slyly and said, “Oh, very well then. Waiter, we want more food. Give us the menu again, we’ll order the best this place has!”

Prices were higher in Hpakant, especially in the mining area. A bowl of lamb soup with preserved pork on the blackboard special offers menu cost 300 RMB. The prices were exorbitant compared to the tourist area in Li Du’s hometown.

At his words, a mocking smile appeared on Lengbie’s face and he said, “Master Pao, where did you get these starving poor monsters? You are getting worse day by day, mixing around with such poor fellas.”

He looked at Li Du again and said, “Aren’t you afraid that you’ll stuff yourself to death?”

As he spoke, he lifted his foot and aimed a kick at Li Du.

Obviously, he was rich, but the insolence of Li Du’s order made him upset.

The people around laughed as well. “Just look at him!”

“Old Pao is still the same Old Pao, he’ll take away the leftovers!”

“Take away? So disgusting, I’m afraid he’ll have to pay for it.”

Brother Wolf wanted to stand up, but Li Du pressed him down him at the same time diligently avoiding Lengbie’s kick. He giggled and said, “Rest assured, I will not be stuffed, these are just appetizers.”

He stood up and waved. Godzilla, the Markelov brothers, and Driver entered.

“Choose the best dishes,” Li Du said enthusiastically. “Everybody must stuff themselves full. There is a big boss who wants to treat us, and we won’t deny him the pleasure.”

The people around him laughed, but not very loudly, for Godzilla and the other three who came in were fierce and strong, like four protagonists from an action movie, and it was clearly better not to provoke them.

Seeing that Li Du had a group of scary foreigners with him, Lengbie instantly sobered up. He asked with a guarded expression, “I’ve judged wrongly today. How can I address you, brother? Where are you from?”

Li Du said, “My name is Li, and I’m from the United States of America, but I am not your brother. People and turtles cannot be brothers; one will eat the other.”

Lengbie’s expression was suddenly ferocious again, and he sneered, “You speak well. Do you think you are so very great because you brought some foreigners?”

Li Du smiled and said, “Oh, you want to try us, the foreigners? Come, come, we’re waiting!”

Liu Zi guffawed as he saw this. “Who is this young man, actually? So arrogant.”

“Isn’t he a fool? Doesn’t he knows how to keep a low profile when he’s outside?”

“Interesting. Let’s see what Lengbie will do. He’s not a good man either, damn it. He’s always bullying us, the Chinese. Look, now he has met some trouble, hasn’t he?”

The pride and confidence that Li Du presented made Lengbie feel a little surprised and uncertain. If Li Du was alone, he would think that he was a pup that did not know the danger of such behavior. In that case, he could take care of the newbie by waiting for him outside the mining area.

However, Li Du was not only with Zhong Dapao, the master of the local gang, but also with some foreign bodyguards who looked perfectly capable of murder.

Therefore, he knew he must be careful with the attitude he showed towards the other side. Hpakant was very messy, with all sorts of people around, and even the bosses of the mines needed to be careful.

The situation was not clear, so Lengbie changed his mind and laughed. “Haha, so it’s you, Brother Li! You are just like I heard, love to joke as always. Haha, eat and have fun, I’ll pay for this meal.”

Since the other side decided to act graciously, Li Du decided to play the game.

He smiled, took a bowl of bacon and began to eat. Godzilla had already emptied five bowls…

Lengbie did not let the loss of face hinder him. He sat down next to Li Du and said, “Brother Li, you are generous when buying rocks, a stall at a time. It is interesting.”

.

Li Du suddenly recalled and said, “Oh, right, I was in the middle of a business transaction. I was too into eating and forgot that.”

He beckoned to the woman and asked, “How about the middle of big six?”

The woman nodded. “Okay,” She said

“How can I pay?”

The woman took out a pose machine. “You can use global transfer!”

Li Du nodded. Brother Wolf took out the card and handed it to him. The transaction passed very quickly, and the bill and message were received together.

Lengbie pursed his lips and said, “Brother Li, you are very rich indeed. This is the first time I see someone buy such miscellaneous materials like that, without even taking a careful look.”

Li Du said, “How can I be rich? You know we poor Chinese people have no money.”

This was what Lengbie had just said to mock him, so it didn’t fail to shut him up.

Liu Zi laughed out loud, tapped Li Du’s shoulder and said, “Little brother, you’re something. I, Liu Zi, had offended you before, and I hope you can forgive me!”

When they bought the material, the people in the teahouse who were watching the fun eagerly called out, “Open it, open it. Let’s see if it’s a win or a loss!”

Li Du motioned to Godzilla to put away the stones. He did not say a word and focused on eating his meal.

.

With Godzilla and the Markelov brothers’ big appetites, the order was a pain in the ass for Lengbie. Nobody would spend that much on one dinner, not even rich people!

Finally, when Li Du and the others left, Lengbie wanted to leave too, but the boss stopped him and said, “Please settle the bill first. It was not easy to keep accounts for this meal.”

When Lengbie took a look at the bill his lips began to quiver. “Bastards! Are they damn animals? Even pigs can’t eat so much fodder!”

Out of the teahouse, more stalls appeared outside with piles of stones on them. The people were smoking hookahs and bargaining, and the atmosphere was charged.

Zhong Dapao said, “What do you think? Should we go through those stalls one after another, or..?”

Li Du said, “We’ll deal with these stones first and get some capital funds.”
