NOVEL WEB Chapter 7: 7. Stocking Up
Coming out of the apartment, Anna found that she was not alone. In the small supermarket not far from the apartment, many other people were rushing out to buy supplies after they heard the announcement.
It was quite rare that there would be a storm this big, but it's not like it had never happened before. Those of the older generation even advised the youngsters to buy more because sometimes, it might last a bit longer than what they said.
Thankfully, the incident this time was not hurricane where they would need to be evacuated.
It was just heavy rainstorm.
Anna looked at the stack of food and silently recalled the tons of food inside her space…
It seemed that her little act of revenge was getting convenient for her.
But then again, she should still buy some for the sake of appearance and not to stand out among the others.
Of course, what Anna filled aside from the rice and flour were her favorite snacks. A lot of expensive chocolates, candies, and the likes.
"Young people now, only thinking about snacks." The aunt behind Anna shook her head.
Anna coughed and looked away.
What she liked the most is actually fast food, but it was not very convenient to buy them. Thankfully, there were a lot of frozen food that could be bought. Such as frozen beef, frozen sausages, and so on.
She also bought a lot of them and then paid it in the counter.
It cost her more than 100,000 Green Coins.
Green Coins is the currency in her country. It was named after their planet, Green Planet and used internationally. Of course, even if the name is coins, it was still in the shape of paper.
Carrying a large amount of coins was definitely very troublesome.
Anna looked at her card and walked to the bank. She wanted to withdraw 1 million and it was above the limit of the ATM outside.
Because of the rainstorm announcement, a lot of people were also going to the bank to exchange money or to do some other things. It seemed that they knew it would be inconvenient for them to come to the bank in the near future.
Any transaction that had to be finished will be completed first.
Anna quickly finished what she wanted to do and took the money before leaving. The card that her father gave to her now has become completely empty.
Even if that man froze this card, it would not affect her at all.
Of course, at this time, Anna didn't know that Mr. Williams truly had no time to care about her at all. He was still busy cursing at those thieves who dared to steal from his warehouse.
They even did it so blatantly!
…
Bang!
Mr. Williams looked at the report in his hand, his face was terrifyingly dark. "What do you say? You need to suspend the investigation?"
"Mr. Williams, this is because there will be heavy rainstorm that's unprecedented in the world. The scientist said that this will be a worldwide rainstorm and might affect a lot of places. The officials are now advising us to return and work." The investigator was also helpless.
When they saw the warning, they knew very well that they were not even allowed to go out.
And it was estimated that they couldn't work either.
"How about the evidences?" Mr. Williams asked.
"Mr. Williams didn't have to worry. We have already done the investigation and the people who appeared on the camera will be interrogated first. But the rest of the people would have to wait until this incident passed," the investigator explained.
"Useless!"
Mr. Williams was annoyed. He waved his hand in annoyance and the investigator immediately took it as the signal for him to leave.
There was no way he wanted to stay here and become the punching bag of Mr. Williams.
He was not a masochist.
"Tsk." Mr. Williams clicked his tongue and looked at the announcement in the report. Even if he didn't like it, he knew very well that he had to be prepared.
He picked up his phone. "Call that brat Brian to go home. As for Betty, let her stay with Jake."
