Chapter 1394: Chapter 1394: Attack (Big Chapter Requesting Monthly Tickets)

In Kewort Group’s underground vault area one, what’s stored is not gold, but densely packed metal shelves reaching the top of the vault.

Rows upon rows of standardized metal boxes are tightly arranged on these shelves.

Each shelf is clearly numbered, and every metal box on the shelf has a detailed identifier.

A group of people quickly entered the vault.

"Everything here is kept in metal boxes, and each metal box is encrypted," the silver-haired elder following Vigina and He Ao said calmly,

"If you need to inspect any box, give it to me, I will decrypt it, and help you search. During the whole process, you can observe. If you need to detain any group items as evidence, you must leave a record. After the event concludes, if there’s any damage, remuneration is required at full price."

On hearing this, Vigina’s expression changed.

However, before she could speak, He Ao smiled and asked, "Are Kewort Group’s items all stored in boxes?"

"Of course," the silver-haired elder said calmly, "Everything in the underground vault is systematically cataloged and registered. All box openings and usage are recorded in the vault’s inventory system."

He glanced at Vigina, "Also, as we previously agreed, only a specific area will be searched, and this area isn’t as big as area one. Since you say you know where the security chief hid the items, specify the exact area."

Vigina gave the silver-haired elder a look and took a deep breath, "Area one, row 27."

"Alright, then let’s go to area one, row 27." The silver-haired elder nodded slightly and began to lead the way ahead.

This interaction seemed to satisfy him, and his pace quickened significantly.

"Is the vault in this area this large? If there’s area one, is there also an area two, area three?" a smiling voice sounded beside him.

The silver-haired elder paused and glanced at He Ao, took a slight breath, and said slowly, "I’m not very clear on that. I’ve only been in area one. Deeper areas require higher clearance, and in the entire Kewort Group branch, only the CEO has this clearance."

"Oh." He Ao nodded lightly and put a bit of distance between himself and the silver-haired elder.

Through these chats, He Ao had more or less figured out this silver-haired elder’s ’background.’

This guy had only come to Denor City recently and wasn’t a local but was dispatched by Ains, intended to oversee the rare earth mineral business.

Essentially, he was arranged by Kewort Group’s head office to balance the branch CEO.

However, this guy’s abilities were far less than the CEO’s. After being here for months, he still hadn’t got involved in any core matters, only holding a position without real power.

But from his thoughts, He Ao gathered another piece of information.

That is, the majority of Kewort Group’s current rare earth minerals are produced by the Denor City branch.

Are there so many rare earth minerals near Denor City?

He Ao slightly frowned.

In Paxiu’s memory, it seemed there were rare earth minerals near Denor City, but not to this extent.

"Area one, row 27," the silver-haired elder stopped, looking at the number on the shelf in front, "We’re here."

Vigina also stopped and looked towards He Ao beside her.

He Ao lifted his head, glanced at the shelf, and slowly walked deeper into the shelf.

His pace was slow, but his speed was fast.

In almost a blink, he covered a significant distance, and before the silver-haired elder could react, He Ao was already several meters away.

Seeing this, Vigina immediately chased after him.

The mercenary team leader looked at He Ao, then at the silver-haired elder beside, and split the team in two, with the leader leading people to catch up with He Ao.

Very soon, He Ao stopped in the middle of the row, his gaze scanning the shelf in front.

According to the ’memory’ that flashed in the security chief’s mind, it should be right here.

Almost instantly, he saw a slightly ’protruding’ metal box on the entire shelf.

The box was positioned relatively high, about five meters up.

But this was nothing for He Ao, who gently leaped up, held the shelf, and removed the entire box.

"Wait," at that moment, the silver-haired elder, gasping for breath, ran over, looked at the box in He Ao’s hand, and quickly said, "Let me inspect it!"

However, He Ao just glanced at him and casually tossed the box to Vigina beside him.

Then he leaped again, reached behind the box, and retrieved a small paper envelope.

Seeing the paper envelope, the silver-haired elder, although not yet comprehending what had occurred, quickly said, "Did you open the box? All evidence must be registered here."

The mercenary team at his side also gripped their Gauss Rifles.

At this moment, Vigina simply and naturally handed the box to the silver-haired elder and calmly asked, "Just now, you said that all Kewort Group items must be registered with you?"

"Yes." The silver-haired elder looked at Vigina, nodding even though he didn’t understand the implication of Vigina’s words.

He received the box, and as his hand sank, he almost fell, quickly supported by a nearby mercenary who took the box from him.

"And all your group’s things are in metal boxes?" Vigina continued to ask.

"Yes!" The silver-haired elder nodded, and at this he vaguely realized something was wrong.

He looked down at the box in the mercenary leader’s hand and saw that the box wasn’t opened, and the envelope wasn’t taken from the box but was outside of it.

"That envelope isn’t your item," seeing this, Vigina shrugged, "So why register it with you."

"This might have been removed from the box," the silver-haired elder realized. He Ao’s initial inquiry about the ’metal box’ had been waiting for this moment.

He attempted one last struggle, "I need to check if it belongs to the group."

"Are you trying to blatantly seize it? Destroy evidence?" At this moment, Vigina’s face instantly turned cold, "Are you also involved in the President’s assassination?!"

The silver-haired elder was taken aback, momentarily stammering.

Vigina withdrew her gaze, shifting her sight to He Ao.

And He Ao had already opened the envelope, taking out a semi-transparent Mithril vial and a storage chip.

Inside the vial, the clear blue liquid was sparkling with brilliant light.

Villa District

"There were three assassins at the scene,"

the thin figure sitting on the long sofa looked at the bespectacled man, raised his hand, and said, "The most conspicuous one at the front was the discovered Paxiu. In the red building at the back, there should have been a sniper. That sniper was the main assassin. Behind the fence on the street below, there was another assassin responsible for supplementary shots. I’ve put all the data in your computer."

"Mm," the bespectacled man flipped through the contents on the computer as if not surprised, then continued to ask, "Have we figured out how these three assassins got onto the scene?"

"The areas where these three were located, Paxiu and the sniper were both in residential areas. Under normal requirements, it should’ve been checked a week in advance," the thin figure said slowly, "the Secret Service Bureau and the City Government people would do the checking together. After the check, except for the original residents, no new personnel would be allowed in on that day."

He glanced at the tablet in the bespectacled man’s hand and continued, "Paxiu got onto the scene a day in advance. That location was close to the street, so it was sealed off by evening the day before. He entered the building before the closing time."

"Was there personnel responsible for checking?" The bespectacled man frowned slightly.

"There was a Secret Service Bureau person who did personnel checks before the closure, but for some reason, he skipped the room where Paxiu was," the thin figure said slowly, watching the bespectacled man, "He’s already dead. He was ’sacrificed’ during the pursuit of Paxiu on the day of the assassination, killed by a hail of bullets."

"Interesting." The bespectacled man kept his head down, the thick glasses reflecting the light from above obscuring his expression, "What about the sniper? Also got in the day before?"

"The sniper’s location was in a secondary core area," the thin figure said slowly, "He should’ve gotten in the morning of the assassination, along with the assassin responsible for supplementary shots at the end of the street, they got onto the scene."

He glanced at the bespectacled man and added, "The manpower of the Secret Service Bureau is not enough, mainly City Government personnel are responsible for these secondary core areas."

"What about the person who attempted to ’silence’ ’Paxiu’ at the last moment?" The bespectacled man continued to ask while flipping through the tablet.

"At that time, there wasn’t just one person causing chaos with the firearms, but most were shot dead by us and the Secret Service Bureau," the thin figure said quickly, "A few ran, but I found their bodies or remains in the nearby sewers, not excluding the possibility they were silenced."

He paused slightly, "According to the City Government’s records, these people were genuine ’excellent citizens’, all had normal resumes and histories, so the City Government arranged for them to enter the scene normally."

"Excellent citizens are fond of entering the presidential assassination scene wielding Gauss Guns, clashing directly with the Secret Service Bureau," the bespectacled man sneered, "The Denno City Government is quite humorous."

"We and the Secret Service Bureau didn’t perform too well either," the thin figure shrugged, "There haven’t been presidential assassination cases for so many years, resulting in many ’safety procedures’ only appearing ’rigorous’."

"Although what you say is reasonable," the bespectacled man leaned back on the sofa backrest, "but we actually don’t have much of a problem with this matter, the security of the parade is a Secret Service Bureau’s responsibility. Although they did a crap job, they wouldn’t easily give up this authority to us either."

He placed the tablet on the sofa’s armrest, "Now, these idiots screwed up the matter and expect me to clean up their mess, leaving the biggest trouble on my head."

"The Secret Service Bureau is a fixed department, they are just responsible for protecting the President. If the President dies, they protect the new President, they don’t care who the President is, unlike us." The thin figure shrugged, "However,"

He looked up at the bespectacled man, "The ’loophole’ in Denno City’s City Government is a bit too big this time."

"In Denno City, the one who really calls the shots isn’t necessarily the City Government." The bespectacled man shook his head, pulling back his thoughts.

"So," the thin figure looked at the bespectacled man, "are you going to report this intelligence?"

"No rush for now," the bespectacled man shook his head, holding his head in his hand as if pondering something. After a brief pause, he said slowly, "The situation on Ains’ side is unclear for now, so we’d better refrain from reporting it for now."

He looked at the thin figure and continued, "You keep investigating, follow the City Government line to see who is really orchestrating all this behind the scenes."

"Okay," the thin figure didn’t ask anything but instead nodded gently, then he looked at the bespectacled man, "What about Paxiu? From his reactions at the time, he might not have been a ’true assassin’? Maybe we can gather some other clues from him?"

"Paxiu, this person doesn’t have much capability or brains, but his identity is a bit complicated," the bespectacled man paused in contemplation, "Anyway, he was indeed part of the assassination plot against the President, but he could be useful, I’ll see if we can capture him."

Just at that moment, his words stopped abruptly, and he suddenly stood up, looking out towards the massive floor-to-ceiling window on one side of the hall, "Who?!"

——

"Then we’ll keep these ’evidences’." Vigina stepped out of the elevator, casting one last glance at the spacious Chief Executive Office, then looked towards the silver-haired old man also stepping out of the elevator behind her.

"Alright." The silver-haired old man looked somewhat displeased.

Besides that envelope, Vigina conveniently searched the metal box near it, but since Treasury Zone 1 didn’t contain important information, she didn’t find any new clues.

However, she did get hold of that Secret Medicine and storage chip.

This was ’not’ something that originally belonged to the Kewort Group, so the silver-haired old man had nothing more to say about it and ultimately had to admit it.

But this ’setback’ will obviously lead to a lowering of his competence rating on Ains’ side.

Why hasn’t the Chief Executive arrived yet? If he were quicker, it would’ve been his setback.

The silver-haired old man clenched the jeweled cane in his hand.

While the thoughts spun in the silver-haired old man’s mind, Vigina and He Ao walked towards the office exit together.

The silver-haired old man stood at the elevator entrance, not following Vigina and He Ao forward. He was waiting for the mercenary team coming up behind.

"Things went rather smoothly." Holding the envelope, Vigina glanced at He Ao beside her and sighed.

Albeit on the surface, she carried out a normal ’search’ under the name of the Federal Bureau of Investigation this time.

But she was well aware that, among all those ’obstacles’ they just faced, if even one point wasn’t handled, this ’search’ couldn’t have been executed.

Without He Ao’s ’arrangement’, she probably wouldn’t have even been able to step into this building.

"The risk isn’t over yet."

And next to her, He Ao just gently shook his head.

With He Ao’s hearing, he could already hear that the silver-haired old man standing not far behind was making a phone call, trying to contact Ains’ ’friends’. He couldn’t wait for He Ao and Vigina to leave.

"No worries—" Vigina smiled faintly.

Hmm?

He Ao abruptly raised his gaze, glancing out the floor-to-ceiling window beside him, then he swiftly extended his hand, grabbing Vigina’s wrist.

Before Vigina’s words were fully uttered, she felt a strong arm gripping her wrist, pulling her into his embrace.

Then she was like an arrow leaving the bowstring, being carried out of the office.

Boom——

In this drastic change, she only had time to glance at the remaining scene of the office.

She saw the enormous glass curtain wall being abruptly shattered by something shot from outside, saw the silver-haired old man raising his head in confusion to look at the broken curtain wall.

The surging power exploded throughout the entire office, devouring everything around.
