Chapter 24: Chapter24-"Are You Fucking Doing This On Purpose?!"
At this mont, netizens were completely bowled over by Daniel.
His ability to decisively find treasures among junk, see through surface level deceptions, pass up enticing objects, and exploit his rival opportunistically made the show's effect superb.
This type of strear, who had real skills, seed refreshing and worth following.
Instantly, the live stream room was ablaze with firework emojis, and the rocket trails were continuously shooting up.
Wealthy netizens, unable to contain their excitent, generously tossed out one gift after another.
Friends who weren't as well-off also threw out all the free gifts they'd claid from their daily sign-ins on the platform.
Daniel checked his stream - in a short three minutes, he had received over a hundred thousand gifts!
And they were all StellaCoins!
Three minutes!
A hundred thousand!
Even after the platform took its cut, he still pocketed nearly fifty thousand StellaCoins.
No wonder people say strears make money - it ca at lightning speed.
If he hadn't earned quite a bit from finding bargains these days, he would probably be too thrilled for words.
Glancing at the top right corner of the live stream, the number of online viewers had already exceeded ten thousand, and his follower count was approaching fifty thousand.
This ratio was unprecedented in the streaming world.
Not everyone had the ti or interest to watch streams.
Typically, only strears with a million followers would have ten thousand viewers during a live stream.
The success of Daniel's streaming was evident.
At this mont, Joseph Thompson was furious.
Being one of the top moguls in the country, why the hell did he have to collect these fakes?
Wasn't it humiliating and deaning?
He cursed under his breath.
He had put in so much effort, lost so many associates - though he didn't care whether they were dead or alive - and invested a lot of money, only to get goods worth a asly hundred and ten thousand.
It was absolutely outrageous!
At that mont, the crowd's chatter reached Joseph Thompson's ears, triggering his explosive temper.
His gaze abruptly turned towards Daniel, and he charged over, yelling furiously, "You bastard! Did you fucking know these were all fakes and deliberately inflate the price?"
Daniel responded with a half-smile, "What's the difference between nine hundred fifty thousand and six hundred fifty thousand?"
The implication was crystal clear: Even if I knew, what could you do about it?
Joseph Thompson's face turned instantly black, and he lunged at Daniel.
To everyone else, his movent was incredibly fast.
But Daniel's reflexes were now twice as good as an average person's.
It might not seem like a significant difference, but to Daniel, Joseph's movents were as clear as day.
With a casual side step, he easily dodged the attack.
Joseph Thompson was taken aback, his other hand reaching out, but Daniel took a step back and dodged it again.
Joseph Thompson's face grew darker as he repeatedly lunged at Daniel, always just missing by an inch, not even touching his collar.
Known for his street fighting skills, he now found himself unable to land a hit on a smaller guy in front of so many people, which infuriated and embarrassed him.
"You coward, stop dodging if you have the guts!" he bellowed.
Daniel shrugged with a smile, "Why would I not dodge if I can?"
"But I'm pretty kind-hearted, I never reject a request. So, I'll just stand here, won't move."
These words sounded like a mocking laughter in Joseph Thompson's ears.
He had been embarrassed in public and now, Daniel wanted to repeat the trick.
But this ti, he wouldn't be caught off guard!
Enraged and humiliated, Joseph Thompson swung his massive fist towards Daniel's head.
All the treasure hunters were terrified and closed their eyes.
Durant even took out his phone to call the police.
The viewers of the live stream also worried for Daniel.
Daniel, being six feet tall and muscular enough to fill out his clothes, looked petite compared to the nearly seven-feet-tall Joseph Thompson.
Therefore, everyone believed that Daniel was in for a world of hurt.
Even the netizens started swearing.
"What the hell, he's attacking because he can't appraise items properly?"
"Whoever is nearby, please help the strear, we can't let him suffer!"
"I'm a cop in Libertopia. Too bad I'm not in the sa city as the strear, or else I would've emptied a magazine."
"Alas, it seems like the strear is going to take a beating."
Not far away, the Abel brothers saw Daniel in danger and were about to rush up.
But then, sothing unexpected happened.
Facing Joseph Thompson's incoming fist, Daniel didn't budge, instead, he sneered disdainfully, "All show and no go, all bark and no bite."
Saying this, he lifted his right hand and easily caught Joseph Thompson's fist.
Joseph Thompson froze, his eyes filled with panic as if he had seen the most horrifying thing in the world.
Daniel's right hand firmly gripped his fist, twisting it with amazing strength.
Crack!
The crisp sound of bone fracture echoed in everyone's ears.
Joseph Thompson let out a scream that could shatter the heavens, "Ahh! Fuck! Fucking hell!"
Daniel's eyes turned cold, and he exerted more force.
The intense pain pierced Joseph Thompson's heart, sweat beading on his forehead.
"Sorry! Please let go, I'm dying!" he pleaded.
Daniel was only trying to give him a lesson, an injured arm was punishnt enough.
"You should head to the hospital now to get your arm treated. There's still ti," he said, letting go of Joseph's arm.
Joseph Thompson kneeled on the ground, his body flushed with pain, forehead veins bulging, gasping for air.
It took him a while to regain his strength and stand up.
Before leaving, he glared back at Daniel, opening his mouth as if wanting to say sothing, but thinking of Daniel's skills, he swallowed his words.
With a resentful look, he quickly left, cradling his arm.
At this mont, all the treasure hunters looked at Daniel as if they were looking at a monster.
Joseph Thompson was known for his fighting, yet he ended up in such an embarrassing state twice in the hands of this seemingly ordinary young man.
This kid, he's one tough cookie.
Better not ss with him in the future!
anwhile, the live stream was filled with cheers.
"Cool! Damn cool!"
"Did the strear train in martial arts or sothing? He could easily beco a movie star."
"That martial arts star, what's his na? Jackie Chan!"
"Right, if the strear acted in movies, he'd be the next international Kung Fu star, Jackie Chan!"
Daniel chuckled, modestly saying, "Hold your horses, my skills are nothing compared to Jackie Chan."
"Holy cow, strear, you're being too modest. Even Jackie Chan would need a few rounds to take down that big guy. You just used a simple grappling technique and subdued him."
"I saw that too, the guy was on his knees begging, haha."
"It's so satisfying to watch. He can find bargains and he can fight, the strear is a real jack-of-all-trades."
"I'm following this strear!"
After the fight, his followers skyrocketed once more.
In the blink of an eye, he gained five to six thousand followers, just a few hundred shy of hitting sixty thousand.
Considering that he had been streaming for less than a week, his growth rate was astonishing.
The show was over, and so was the auction.
Many treasure hunters left one after another.
Robert started wrapping things up with the staff.
After saying goodbye to Durant, Daniel left the dock.
He hailed a cab on the side of the road, heading towards his rental.
Due to rush hour, the streets were packed and he ended up in a traffic jam for an hour.
As a result, the fare was almost a hundred StellaCoins.
A regular car only cost a few thousand StellaCoins.
It seed like it was ti to buy a car for himself.
After all, as a millionaire, it wouldn't do to always take a cab.
Daniel thought about it and decided to visit the car market the next day.
As he habitually walked towards the coffee shop, he heard soone calling his na before he even entered.
Turning around, he was surprised to see Sophia.
Taken aback, Daniel asked, "What are you doing here?"
Sophia rolled her eyes, pulling out so docunts from her bag, "Dear boss, did you forget that you bought a property from ?"
"Here are your purchase docunts and proof, as well as all the keys to the house. I've had soone clean it up, so you can move in anyti."
