......
In the next few days, Elijah sent men to investigate the man's whereabouts. He also sent people to monitor the safe. 20th of May was closing in on him, but it was a beautiful scene of spring outside.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark and the last ray of sunlight gradually disappeared, Elijah couldn't help but take out a cigarette and light it.
Could it be that he had missed something?
Didn't they take the Double Dragon Cuffs for the fifty million dollars?
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
Hudson and Hart walked in. They looked at him and asked, "Elijah?"
"Is there any news?"
Shaking his head, Hudson said,
"Tomorrow is May 20th! According to our estimation, tonight is the time to get the key. Otherwise, I'm afraid that we can't finish the whole process in one day! No one to ask about the safe! If he took the Double Dragon Cuffs but not the key, then the safe we prepared is basically useless! But if it weren't for the key and the 50 million dollars, why would they spend so much effort to get the Double Dragon Cuffs?"
After making three cups of coffee, Hart sat down slowly and pushed his glasses. "Elijah, is there any other meaning in the Double Dragon Cuffs?"
Elijah's hand paused as he stirred the coffee. He raised his eyes and glanced at Hart. "Are you still suspecting that I'm hiding something from both of you? If I can't even trust both of you, who would have my back!"
Needless to say, he would die of exhaustion!
Even robots had to be charged. He didn't have the ability to face the world alone!
"Hee hee." Hudson laughed. In an instant, he shook his head in a proud manner. "Elijah, don't you know how much hair I lose every day!"
Hudson looked at Elijah, with a look that said he was the one who had worked the hardest among the three of them. Hart smiled. "That's not what I meant. I mean, perhaps you don't even know about it!"
"Isn't that easy? Go and ask your mother or Quentin!"
Stunned, Elijah took a sip of his coffee and his eyes became a little more serious.
"I've also thought of this possibility! I've asked! My father gave the Double Dragon Cuffs to me personally before he died, my mother knew nothing much about it! Besides, I have it all the time, except when I showed it to her those few times! What's more, this secret vault was built underground, and it was used to store all kinds of electronic products. To put it bluntly, the Double Dragon Cuffs was just a key! Even if outsiders got it and knew the location, it was impossible to take anything from it without my fingerprints and password. In the worst case scenario, if they could steal the things inside, it would not be legally theirs. Maybe it would be easier last time, but with the technology development today, the cost is too great! So, it's still useless!"
He might not be able to control people from taking his fingerprint or eye cornea, but he would rather die than hand over the password. After three tries, the vault would be completely locked down and the police would be automatically contacted. It would be almost impossible to open it again.
When he had decided to enter this business, the older generations had used a lot of wisdom and wealth to build this vault. Although the technology at that time was not as advanced as it was now, their wisdom was immeasurable. They considered all aspects that went into building the vault, from the location to the materials used, even the fire and water tunnels and different scenarios in the future. The vault was built in a blind spot. Unless there was a change in the earth itself, the underground city planning would not reach there. Even if they dug three feet into the ground and bombarded the area, they would not get it without the key and entering through the main door. Of course, there was no other way but to completely destroy the items inside.
Because of this, over the years, he had hired experts from all walks of life to try to open another passage. Fortunately, he found the original key in the end!
Of course, this place was not completely flawless, which was the key. If they lost it, they would no longer be able to make it. Making the original version was possible with the blueprints, but after he got the key, he made more modifications using modern technology to gain the highest degree of confidentiality and security.
With the current technology and surveillance, it was stupid to steal the key. Then why did the man try so hard to get the Double Dragon Cuffs? It couldn't be just to sell it off, right? It was worth nothing close to 50 million dollars. In fact, it was worth less than his car. If he wanted it to gain something from him, then that would make sense. But now, it was not worth anything!
The most important thing was that he did not receive any extortion!
No matter how he thought about it, it didn't make sense!
