Returning From The Magic World

Chapter 193 Stealing

It will take time, of course. And there is no guarantee of safety.

Arthur ordered Hunter and the others to move quickly.

To make it faster, he enlarged the hole in the safe.

Of course, he, Isabel, and Rose did not participate in transporting the gold. The latter was already exhausted from breaking into this house's defense system, so she was given some time to rest.

However, they could not stay still.

The two of them examined the jewelry, looking for anything with a special status.

Arthur himself was not completely silent. He stood next to one of the piles of gold, picked one up and examined it.

It had an image of Emperor Napoleon. It was quite neatly shaped and of course it was still quite bright as it was indeed protected from dust.

'This is indeed something when seen through mortal eyes,' Arthur thought with a faint smile.

Gold is a metal of beauty. Its radiance can blind the human heart.

At this moment, Isabel suddenly approached Arthur. She was holding a gold necklace with pink diamond eyes.

As she approached him, she put the necklace around her neck.

"What do you think?" She then asked.

Arthur immediately gave her a thumbs up in response.

"It suits you so well, your beauty has increased by a few dozen percent," he said.

And that was only because she wasn't wearing an elegant outfit. The story would have been different if she had been wearing an expensive dress.

Arthur's compliment obviously pleased her. However, then she took off the necklace.

"Too bad it's an illegal item," she said and sighed.

Isabel certainly couldn't have used such a necklace given her position.

The fact that she wasn't talking about returning the gold to the state was good enough.

After that, she looked at the watch in her hand.

"We've been here long enough," she said again, looking like she was getting uncomfortable.

It's never fun to go on a heist for too long even if you're sure you'll survive.

Arthur replied, "let's get out now, let the others work!"

"Okay!" Isabel nodded.

After that, he and Isabel left the wooden house while Rose stayed there as she still had to do some surveillance.

Surprisingly enough, when they returned to the street, they found Nova coming with her motorcycle.

She was styled just like this morning, with her hair in a two-ponytail like the girl in the anime and wearing new, smaller glasses.

Seeing her new style, Isabel was a little surprised, she looked at Arthur suspiciously.

Meanwhile, Nova stared at the mercenaries who carried a large bag and then climbed into the tailgate, she guessed what they were doing.

Then, she approached Arthur and Isabel.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" she asked Arthur in a low voice.

Judging from her rather messy clothes, Arthur guessed she had just remembered about his plan tonight and left in a hurry to help.

Arthur shook his head as he replied, "It'll be done soon, you don't have to come here. After all, the exam is tomorrow, right? Of course, if you also want some gold, you can ask me for it."

Hearing Arthur's words, Nova pressed her lips together, like she wasn't sure what to say.

In the end, she just continued to sit on her motorcycle, occasionally getting stares from the mercenaries.

Nova could feel their strength through their eyes. This made her wonder again about the way Arthur built up power.

She might be stronger than most of them, but her father was definitely weaker.

***

Arthur and his aunt waited for the mercenaries to transport the gold. Sometimes there were cars passing by and happened to meet the mercenaries while crossing the road.

It is unknown what the drivers were thinking when they saw them. However, it was quite dark there, so it was impossible to see clearly.

Maybe they just think they are project workers.

It was around 12 pm that Hunter and the others managed to move all the gold.

The gold was literally placed on the truck bed like rocks, not even neatly arranged.

To avoid being seen, they covered the truck with a tarp.

Of course, after that it was no longer possible for them to get on the truck.

By this time, Rose had also returned.

She approached Arthur and said, "boss, the bomb will explode in an hour from now, we need to leave immediately!"

Arthur nodded in response, signaling the others to leave immediately.

He, Isabel, and Rose entered the car while the truck left first.

At the same time, another car arrived, a van that almost looked like a bus.

All the mercenaries left in that van. Andi himself followed them because now there was no way he could stay here. Plus, after this he will definitely be a target of the Armstrong Family.

The only option for him now is to hide and maybe have surgery to change his face.

The last to leave was Nova.

She followed Isabel's car, obviously still curious about the gold. After all, she still hadn't seen the gold in person.

As a woman living on a shoestring, her desire to see large amounts of treasure was quite high.

They went to the city again and their destination was an area close to the city center.

Until now, Arthur also had no idea where the place prepared by the mercenaries was.

The fact that it was near the city center was enough to make him wonder, he wondered if it was no problem.

However, he was quite confident in the abilities of Hunter and the others, so he chose not to comment, not even ask anything.

When the truck finally stopped, he showed a strange expression as it stopped in front of an old church that seemed to have not been used for a long time. The road around was also very quiet.

The church was quite large, and even had a wall around it, making it separate from other places.

Arthur looked at Rose who was sitting in the back and asked, "is it in this church?"

"Yes, but don't worry boss, this church is our private property, it has quite a spacious basement," Rose replied.
