Chapter 1786: Fort Knox

Chapter 1786: Fort Knox

?

Danny himself seems shocked.

Then he look at William for a few second without saying anything, seemingly trying to understand why this friend of his who is never tangled with the big boys before now suddenly told him that he is about to break into a prison that is built by the might of the Seven World Powers

And this silence lingers. A few second passes before Danny seems to take a hold of himself and then he shook his head

"Hell no!" his shout startles everyone in the room.

The other people other than Danny did not know much about William.

But Danny is the one that is closest to Willaim among a few of William small circle of friends.

In his opinion, William is not that influential in the world. He could be considered a local lord, and while he does get into trouble once in a while, it is never the kind of trouble that affects the world situation.

The kind of trouble that affects the world situation usually involves the Sveen Great Powers or those great figures like Death Monarch, Raymond, Hikigaya, Oreki, Katarina, Sofia, those people whose names resound all over the world

And who is William?

those people would be considered Emperor in term of hierarchy, then William is merely a Baron.

They could not even see the face of the emperor. And this Baron person, suddenly told him that he is about to hit on the property of these Emperors, these gods

How could Danny not be shocked?

how could he not feel like being hit on the back of his head. He was quite confident that he could break through all of the world safe, banks, treasure caves, dimensional dungeon trap, Split Parallel reality stuffed into a box, but a prison that is built by the Seven Great Powers? He did not have confidence to break into such facility.

"The price is a bit steep don't you think, William? You are trying to break into one of the most secure facility in the world, jointly built by the Seven Great Powers?"

"If we get caught, we would be trialed in the world court, do you know that? If they know it was us, there is no place on Earth that we could hide in. We could only get out of Earth or goes to another dimension. And even then, the world power would probably tries to still catch us"

Danny added

"And they will probably succeed. World Government even has a World Gate in their basement, Death Monarch probably could just rip a breach toward another world not to mention Jean who could stop time, Hikigaya that could turn real into unreal just to name a few beings that would be pissed off at us and probably would chase across dimensions just to prove a point"

Danny seems to be angry

"This is a big ask. This is no longer me just fulfilling my promise. If I do this, not only my debt to you is paid, it will be you that owes me"

His tone shows that he is angry. But William is calm.

"I know. Hence, I give you the map of the interior" Willaim waves his hand and the hologram on the middle of the table change.

This time it show a different map plan. There is even the simulation of guards and the map plans show the interior of every level of the prison. Danny look at the hologram once again and he narrows his eyes

"You have a person on the inside?"

William nodded

"If you succeed, yes, the world powers will try to catch you. But I don't think they would kill you. I know Hirate. He would instead recruit you so that you would plug all of the holes in their security"

And then William added

"And .... are you sure that you would get caught? I don't know how to steal and I don't know how to kidnap people but if there is one thing, I am good at, it is stowing people away. I know a dimension of worlds where the Seven World Powers would never think to seek you there. Because they never found the portal to that world. The breaches to this world is closed and only I know how to smuggle people to this world. As long as you succeed, I can guarantee you, you would not get caught"

"Not enough" Danny said.

This time, he is no longer as casual as before. Before he was doing a favor to a friend.

That is before he knew what he got himself into

Now, this is no longer just a favor. This is a life-threatening business. And it is not only his life that is on the line here.

The ten people with him would also be betting their lives. He did owe a lot to William, but none of his crew owe anything to William.

But William seems to sense his hesitation as he continues saying

"There is all kinds of riches there. Leviathan Hold did not only hold prisoners of the World Court. There is also a fort Knox life fortress inside there filled with trillions of energy stones. You sure none of you wanted those riches?" The moment this is said, Brad eyes shines

And everyone on the table seems to be paying attention.

Willaim zoom in the map with his finger to open of the room in the map plan.

"This is that Fort Knox"

He paused for a second as some of the crew begins looking at the map more intently than

before

Smiling William continues by saying

"Basically, it is full of magical metals, energy stone, liquefied energy and all kinds of resources that the World Powers have. Of course, the world power did not put all of their riches under the sea"

"It is not the habit of the World Power to put all of their wealth in one basket. That is not just their method"

"But they did put a lot below the sea. Some of it is used for the maintenance of the prison. Including salary. After all, not many people would want to work in such a prison unless you are rewarded handsomely. The other reason is to stash some of ill-gotten gains of the world power. Because Leviathan Hold is under joint supervision not one world power have full control of the prison. Basically, there riches that would last you for hundreds of years if you could break into that room"

Danny thinks for a while but he still shook his head

"Danny!" Brad shouted.

Then he smiles a bit and then said

"Let's think this for a moment. Your friend request is a bit hard than unusual but it is not truly impossible. I did pick up many tricks when managing my hotel. I think this could be done"

Intel look at the map plan and nodded

"As long as I get the schematic of the protection formation, I could make it work for us. It is

hard.... but not impossible"

"No" Danny quickly rejected.

Brad seems tempted and he was surprised why Danny still rejected William offer.

William however is not surprised.

Other people could easily be lured with such wealth but Danny is different

He is quite cold and calculating.

And what he calculates is not the profit right now. But the loss.

What will he lost if he takes this request?

And he knows exactly what he would lose if he fails this time

There is no going out of jail like before if he fails.

"Danny, don't you think this is enough for us to risk a bit?" Frank ask

Danny smiles and shakes his head

"This is not enough. Don't you understand?"

"If we break into the prison, that is already a loss of face for the World Powers. If we rob them

blind, that is trampling their face. Even if they don't care about us small fries, if we rob them, even just to recover their faces, they might move some bigshot to capture us. So...." And

Danny look back at William as he shook his head

"Not enough"

William nodded.

"I understand. You are not quite confident that you could escape"

"Let's just say that we succeed. And you did smuggle us out of this dimension and even out of

this galaxy. I don't know much about Death Monarch. But I know if he really wanted to

capture us, it would be as easy as clicking his finger"

"Not enough"

William smiles and then said

"Okay, Danny. You drive a hard bargain. What if.... I give you some confidence to pull this off?"

"What?"

Smiling, Willian then explain his trump card.

"You see, I am not the only one that wanted the Grand Researcher to get out. There is a reason why I ask you to break into the prison and confident that you could get out. Not all world powers wanted the Grand Researcher to spend all of her time inside that dungeon" "Well, I know the Order of Thinkers didn't want her to spend all of that time in the prison. But other than them, is there any other world powers that did not want her there?"

"There is many"
