Chapter 233 300 tons of gold

Lunch is over.

Jiang He walked out of the hotel and just got into the jeep when he received a call from the Security Bureau Liaison Office.

Ah Er relayed, "Boss, there was a robbery at the Royal Bank in Queens. The criminals took control of the scene and killed two security guards and a mid-level psychic who was brave enough to do something righteous."

Most of the mid-level mutants do not have the ability to resist thermal weapons. The Dawn people all have shooting and fighting templates, and are armed with modern assault rifles, so their deterrent power is considerable.

"Notify the Security Bureau. I will handle this matter personally."

"clear."

The jeep convoy moved quickly and arrived at the Royal Bank three blocks away in just ten minutes.

The car phone kept ringing along the way, with calls from the Executive Office and the Council asking questions. Mr. A, as the new executive, also paid attention to the matter.

"…The Royal Bank is the largest capital of the Alliance. With the expedition imminent, the Arsenal and Logistics Department both need funds and stability. Just get this resolved."

"understood."

Jiang He hung up the phone. The news of the great expedition was only announced a few days ago, but the preparations had already begun several months ago. Attacking the Royal Bank at this time to create chaos would not affect the overall situation. Therefore, Mr. A directly ruled out the possibility that someone deliberately took action to curb the expedition. The arrow was on the string and it had to be fired.

Under normal circumstances, for a dominant fighter, dealing with a group of criminals is not a problem at all.

The jeep convoy arrived at the entrance of the Royal Bank. The scene had been blocked, the bank's doors and windows were closed, and the deputy director of the Security Agency's Emergency Response Office was in control of the situation.

"Sir, Deputy Director Hongxiu is on the way. The deputy director has sufficient experience in such incidents." The Deputy Minister of Countermeasures reported with a smile. Although the ruling-level psychics are powerful, politics, diplomacy, and economics cannot be handled by fists alone. Even the Speaker of the Parliament needs to make concessions and coordinate.

From a perspective no one could see, Lilith held a glass of iced drink and translated live, "He said you have no experience. He is Deputy Director Hongxiu's man. As long as you don't contradict him to his face, you can't do anything to him. Forget about the credit."

Jiang He nodded slightly. After the night battle in the commercial district, the Security Bureau was at least very calm on the surface, and no one openly opposed him. But secretly, there were many people who sided with Deputy Director Hongxiu. After all, Hongxiu represented the will of Governor A, had served as Deputy Director for more than five years, and had many confidants.

"It's too late. I must be responsible for the safety of the citizens and inform the robbers that I am willing to exchange myself for the hostages."

Ah Er walked forward with a loud speaker and shouted.

The Deputy Minister of Countermeasures was speechless. Unless the robbers didn't pay any attention to the news, how could they let in a guy who beat up a ruling-level psychic? It was a joke.

"Boss, the robbers agreed, but they don't trust your identity. The deputy director who was directing the scene just now also has to go in."

The Deputy Minister of Countermeasures had a dull look in his eyes.

Jiang He grabbed the guy's arm and took a step forward. With the powerful strength of his domineering body, he dragged the guy away without even having to use any effort.

"Director, you can't do that!" The deputy director of countermeasures struggled frantically. He was only a mid-level superpower user and couldn't stand the bullet at all. "This is not up to you." Jiang He ignored him. There are 128 superpower sequences in total. Wind, fire, earth and water correspond to speed, strength, physique and spirit respectively. Therefore, there are 8 types of superpowers, each of which has 16 superpowers, and a total of 32 advancement routes from bottom to top.

Among them, the physical ability routes mastered by humans are very rare. This type of route is mainly mastered by werewolves, and the speed is dominated by vampires. The Ninth Fortress is famous for its fireball route, and most managers at all levels are also such ability users and do not have outstanding defensive capabilities.

There is a circle of marble columns outside the Royal Bank, which looks like a temple from old times. The kidnappers pushed the door open a crack, and the lights were on inside. Hundreds of citizens were squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands.

"Let the two citizens out." Ah Da, wearing a black hood, ordered, "These two newcomers are people with special abilities, lock them up in the most secure underground vault."

"Yes." A Dawn man carrying an assault rifle kicked two citizens out.

The citizens in the bank whispered that generally speaking, releasing the hostages meant buying time and easing the situation, and this group of well-trained robbers might leave soon.

A Da took the two new hostages to the underground vault.

"Boss, the Royal Bank has the largest gold reserves in the alliance, with a total of more than 3000 tons. The Ninth Fortress's vault only has about 300 tons. According to the bank manager, this gold is the ballast of the fortress's economy."

Ada introduced the situation. Dawn Intelligence had given him a template for a sheriff in a western town. Along the way, he had acquired the ability to handle things on his own. If the bank's gold was lost, the fortress would cause serious economic turmoil. The boss's main task was to become the speaker of the fortress. He was not sure whether this move would increase the difficulty of the task.

"This is not something I should be considering for now." Jiang He said casually, "I'll worry about it when I become the Speaker."

The Deputy Minister of Countermeasures was already shocked. The bank robbery was not only directed and acted by the new director, but this guy even planned to subvert the existing structure of the Ninth Fortress and become the Speaker. The most important thing was that the two of them never concealed anything in front of him.

The Deputy Minister of Countermeasures said with a sad face: "Director, I have never made things difficult for you. If you kill me, Master Hongxiu will definitely not sit still and wait for death. By then, the Security Bureau will fall apart, and the giants will definitely be held accountable. I follow Master Hongxiu, and Master Hongxiu is Mr. A's confidant. You are Mr. A's right-hand man. We are a family!"

Ah Da's face was cold. He had stood in the wrong line. What else was there to say? This was the most fatal disaster since ancient times.

The three of them came to the vault, and the Deputy Minister of Countermeasures tried his best to release his supernatural power, Ashes, to attack the enemy's palm by heating it with high temperature. Unfortunately, the 100% fire damage immunity of Bath of Fire X completely ignored the damage. Only the fire attack launched by the Silver Rank could break the defense, but the Blood Tyrant's body also had a high elemental immunity. Most elemental mages could only wait to be killed in front of him.

The Deputy Minister of Countermeasures struggled frantically, but the hand holding his arm was like an iron clamp.

"Director, there is no feud between us!"

"Just because you don't hurt me doesn't mean I won't hurt you."

Jiang He bent his fingers and shot out, and at a close distance, the energy pierced through the opponent's eyebrows like a spiral bullet.

Ah Da stepped forward to hold up the fallen body of the deceased. Jiang He broke the lock of the vault door with one punch. A deep pit as big as a human head suddenly appeared on the metallic surface of the door. The perfect withering easily eroded this high-strength alloy.

The door opened, and the inside was bathed in incandescent light. Boxes were stacked with gold bars of standard length and width. Neither the Executive Office nor the Council expressed any concern about the gold reserves here. The weight of more than 300 tons far exceeded the robbers' carrying capacity. Even if they used large trucks to transport it, it would take two or three trucks. If the robbers only took away part of the gold, the Executive Office could hand over that part of the gold according to the law after they were arrested.
