Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 2139

......

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!

"Artistry Group received a large amount of orders recently. They should have earned a lot of money and are now popular. However, I received news that they have opened a lot of shops. They sold both real and fake goods to collect money. The ratio of fake goods is very high! They use the cheapest materials, but the package and appearance are genuine. How should I put it, it is—"

Hart waved his hand and was thinking about what to say when Hudson slapped his head and said, "A deliberate deception!"

"Yes! Yes, that's what I meant! So, I estimate that the truth would be revealed soon. After all, with so many people buying their products, it's impossible to shut everyone up! This is also what I couldn't understand before. Skincare products have a high margin. I know that the cost price of the items sold for hundreds of dollars is less than 20 dollars. It is the same for those sold for thousands of dollars. Even with real gold, the cost would still be around 100 dollars. Including packaging and labor, it would not be difficult for her to establish a brand, so why is she doing this? She's crazy!"

"Don't forget that this brand is just a front. It can't last long! What they're doing don't make sense...Was the Artistry Group desperate for that much money?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hart and Hudson also looked at him and said, "I've never heard of a new project—"

Did they sacrifice the company for money?

To run away?

They looked at each other and Hudson shook his head.

"Even if they want to withdraw from the industry, they would not keep their most valuable assets, right? Artistry Group has two luxury villas and factory in Korea that are worth more than 2 million dollars! Won't it be faster to sell them off to the bank? That would be the fastest way to make money, right?"

"Maybe there is some reason that they can't move! Did we do something to make them abandon the plan?"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss. Elijah felt a headache coming on. Without waiting for them to say anything, he waved his hand and said,

"Forget it! No matter what her purpose is, we will deal with it as soon as possible! Don't do anything now. First, deal with the cases. Do everything you can by the contract. Check the ones that require bigger compensations but don't be too nitpicky! Pay it off no matter what the amount is! If nothing happens tomorrow, then we don't need to wait anymore. Get the evidence and trace it back to the roots. If she doesn't want to come out, let her stay here for the rest of her life! Get rid of Artistry Group!"

The three of them had a meal together, discussed more before they parted ways. Since tomorrow was May 20th, and there might be a big battle, Elijah didn't let them send him home but drove himself back home.
