NOVEL WEB Chapter 1055: Wealth
Joe Ga forcefully arranged for Dorian to stay behind and guard the main building, preventing retreat routes from being cut off, and then he quickly went downstairs to the concealed elevator door.
He took out his tools to pry open the elevator door, and Joe Ga stuck his head in to take a glance at the dark elevator shaft below...
After listening for a moment and hearing no movement, Joe Ga took out a safety rope, attached it to a hook with an electric winch, and securely fastened the two hooks in the gap of the elevator door...
The grappling hooks with expansion capabilities dug into the elevator door's gap, and once expanded, they not only served as support but also prevented the elevator door from closing from above.
Using the rope, Joe Ga began to quickly descend about 40 meters into the elevator shaft until he stepped onto the elevator's upper edge.
The previous explosion had severely deformed the elevator car, and Joe Ga had to spend quite some effort to open the inspection hatch on the car's roof.
After controlling the mini drone to enter the car, Joe Ga caught a whiff of a pungent odor, and he promptly donned a gas mask. After ensuring no one was ambushing near the elevator, he jumped directly into the car.
The earlier deployment of a few gas grenades was intended for this effect, to thoroughly dispel enemies and avoid direct confrontation in such a confined space, minimizing danger.
The mini drone had already flown out of the car by this time, and there was no one outside. Joe Ga strode out and found himself at a crossroads.
When he furrowed his brows and decided to follow his instincts to go left, a voice suddenly came from above his head...
"Who are you?"
Joe Ga raised his gun warily, aiming at the ceiling, and discovered a surveillance device with voice capabilities.
Realizing he had been discovered, Joe Ga touched the skull mask on his face, flipped off the surveillance, and said, "Just wait, I'll be right there to see you.
You like cannibalism, but I bet you've never seen your true face. Let me recreate it for you..."
"My men will soon retake this place. Tell me who sent you, and maybe I'll let you die a little easier..."
Joe Ga paused in place, controlling the mini drone to quickly scout the area, skimming along the 2-meter-high passage ceiling into the distance.
Hearing the other side still trying to threaten him, Joe Ga laughed and said, "Brother, you must be Anon Talan. As a big shot who survived World War II, you should speak more boldly.
For instance, I wouldn't threaten you. I'd just tell you that you're doomed!
It doesn't matter who sent me; once you're dead, none of it will mean a thing to you!"
On the other side of the surveillance, Anon Talan seemed to hear the funniest joke in the world. He laughed a few times, then coughed and said, "Haven't you realized there's nothing you can do to me?
Do you know why I made the safe house so simple?
Because often, the simplest is the most reliable!
I'm in an impregnable titanium safe room. Outside, my men are trying to rescue me.
Do you think blocking the first wave gives you time to break into my safe room?
You know absolutely nothing about the true power of this world...
The second wave of reinforcements is already on the way and will arrive above the manor in three hours.
A third wave of 200 men is preparing. If that's not enough, there's a fourth and fifth wave...
I'm in a safe place and capable of assembling unimaginably powerful forces within 24 hours. What have you got?"
Joe Ga was momentarily stunned by what he heard, amusingly miming an explosion as he said, "If you're so great, get America to launch an intercontinental missile over here...
Or call in a B-2 bomber; they can carry big bombs...
Boom, and I'm dead, and you're saved!"
After saying this, Joe Ga waited a few seconds, then suddenly laughed and said, "Oh, you can't do it...
Can't even get a missile and still claim to have power?
What can a waste like you, who sleeps wearing diapers, do?
Finding a group of mercenaries for hire and bullying the weak makes you feel on top?"
Saying this, Joe Ga reviewed the footage recorded by the drone. The entire underground structure was cross-shaped, with four passages connecting to an enclosed titanium safe room.
The safe room had no windows, and Joe Ga couldn't discern where Anon Talan was hiding, but he wasn't concerned at all.
An impregnable safe room meant nothing to him. Though its size exceeded the carrying capacity of his "hack" and couldn't be stored all at once, as long as it had a lock, he could use his hack to open it easily...
"You will regret your arrogance..."
Joe Ga coldly eyed the surveillance on the ceiling, shot it out, and then quickly destroyed all the surveillance along the four 50-meter passageways, finally stopping in front of a safe room...
The front of the safe room was a silver titanium wall, with a vault-grade round door featuring a ship's wheel-like handle.
Joe Ga stepped forward and tapped it a few times, then placed his hand on the titanium wall to scan the safe room, immediately marveling at Anon Talan's wealth...
It was indeed titanium alloy, and of the highest aerospace-grade. This stuff had a minimum price of $50,000 per ton,
