Chapter 41 -41: This Time It’s a Big One!
About other people’s smiles, Mr. Madden approached Sean Knight and gave the answer:
“In the past two days, those Latino American bastards and the gang next door have been fighting, losing quite a few people.
I heard that Tod’s brothers died, and some were injured, so I’m afraid your little incident with Tod is over.”
Sean felt a little touched listening to this, so these people were actually happy for him?
But what Mr. Madden said next made him realize he was reading too much into it:
“Because of the fighting and injuries, the Latino Americans need a large amount of funds, so they put up some of their containers for auction…
Most of the things in these containers were collected or mortgaged by them, and there should be some good stuff inside, so everyone thinks you brought good luck.”
So that’s how it was!
Sean shook his head, these people were really realistic.
But then again, everyone was in competition, and there was no room for any emotions.
Moreover, Americans followed the principle of “clear accounts between blood brothers,” which was even clearer than in China.
So, it’s better not to read too much into it!
Black man Jason came over to Sean and grinned, saying:
“Bosuns, do you need me to do anything, man?”
It seemed that he was determined to follow Sean.
“If you want to bid, go ahead. If you don’t want to, just follow me. If I win a container later, help me clean up the stuff.”
Jason gladly agreed. To be honest, he didn’t have much money, and if he really wanted to bid, he could only pick up cheap containers.
How could he compete with these treasure hunters with sharp eyes?
It’s better to follow a decent boss, at least, when others eat meat, he also has some soup!
And if he can learn something along the way, that’s even better!
In the past, Sean had to go to the front of the containers to check out the items.
Now the Sky Eye had leveled up, and he could see the items inside just by standing on the edge of the crowd.
This made it more concealed and safer.
As soon as the Sky Eye opened, Sean was shocked!
Usually harmless people like Mr. Madden and several others all had guns tucked into their waists!
Even the woman, Diana Smith, had a small pistol in her bag!
Out of the ten people present, at least seven or eight had guns on them. This was a bit too much!
Sean looked down at the small copper pen in his hand and suddenly felt weak!
Ignoring this, he looked towards the first container.
Inside was a tractor that looked about 70% new, with some parts and tools beside it.
Sean wasn’t interested in the open door container, so he moved on to the next one.
The next four containers all had open doors, and they were all large.
The sixth container caught Sean’s eye!
The container was packed full, all the way to the top.
At the entrance, there were a few fixed iron frames, followed by bundles of iron wire mesh piled up high.
If you looked from the container door, that’s what you would see.
But Sean’s Sky Eye discovered there was more behind this iron mesh!
There was a big thing hidden inside!
Sean happily noted this container and continued looking.
Afterwards, there was a container with a car cover. Sean could tell it was a trendy sports car.
It was worth a gamble. After all, the sports car was covered, and others wouldn’t know which brand it was.
The price difference between ordinary sports car brands and top brands can vary by several million or even tens of millions!
However, this sports car seemed to have been repaired, Sean checked and it was an Aston Martin of a mid-range model. As for how much it was worth, it depended on the specific condition of the car.
Since this wasn’t Sean’s area of expertise, he wasn’t sure.
Soon, the auction began, and the bald auctioneer was excited today, although he started with a somewhat flat voice.
Sean understood that with more than a dozen containers, if he shouted like before, his voice would be ruined by the end of the auction.
The first container with the tractor sold for twelve thousand dollars.
Sean felt uneasy – there were too many competitors!
A tractor that wasn’t even certain to start had sold for so much!
The rest of the items probably wouldn’t be cheap!
As expected, the items in the following containers all sold for over 10,000 US dollars!
Sean remembered that when Mr. John took him over, he said something.
Usually, the estimated value of items is about twice the auction price.
It means they roughly estimated how much the items in the container were worth, and the highest auction price was about half of that.
After all, unless you’re an all-around appraiser, the estimated price will be biased.
And the items that appeared in the containers were mostly second-hand goods.
They needed to be discounted, and some had major discount!
Unexpectedly, it was so fierce today!
He hoped it wasn’t a special case, otherwise, it would be difficult to pick up a bargain in the future!
Seeing that Sean only called a price once or twice and then didn’t raise his hand again, Jason became anxious.
“Sean, don’t you like these things?”
“No, I just think everyone is excited, so let’s keep watching!”
At this time, the assistant cut open the door of the sixth container and yanked it open!
Sean had already walked to the front of the container, intending to focus on this one.
Just then, someone suddenly screamed!
The few unstable iron shelves in the container fell over because of the assistant’s forceful pull!
It was about to hit the assistant and the auctioneer with their backs to the container!
Sean instinctively jumped up, stretched out his leg and kicked the iron shelf in mid-air!
The iron frame was heavily kicked back and leaned against the iron wire mesh!
The auctioneer turned around in a shriek, saw the scene, and his face showed a look of horror and relief!
“Sean, you’re amazing!” Jason was the first to admire.

Others also exclaimed “Whoa!” and “Oh my God!” in amazement.
The auctioneer hurried over and thanked Sean:
“Thank you, Chinese boy! You saved me! I didn’t expect Chinese Kung Fu to be so amazing! I didn’t believe it before, but now I do! From now on, I will be a loyal follower of Chinese Kung Fu!”
Sean smiled and said:
“I think anyone in my position would do the same, wouldn’t they?”
“No, no, no, at least others aren’t as agile or as strong as you!” the auctioneer sincerely said.
Then, after severely scolding the container owner, the auctioneer let everyone observe.
Because of Sean’s actions, some people’s attention was focused on him. Sean himself didn’t think much and pretended to look carefully inside.
He noticed that Mr. Madden was also holding an 8x monocular telescope this time, trying hard to look through the gaps in the iron wire mesh.
Sean’s heart tightened, could this guy have discovered something behind the iron wire mesh?
Having an additional strong competitor would require more effort!
