The long time Rose was referring to turned out to be almost two hours.
Not to mention Arthur, even Hunter and the others looked annoyed at waiting so long in this dark forest.
Isabel even chose to lie down on a tree branch.
Of course, no one blamed Rose because no one doubted her skills. The problem was that the system's own defenses were too strong, much stronger than Mossad's.
It ended up protecting tons of gold. Magic items that lacked clarity were obviously not that valuable.
When she finished, Rose sighed.
She herself looked very exhausted from typing non-stop.
"Boss, it's safe, now we can go inside the house," she said.
"Good!" Arthur finally showed a smile.
After that, he immediately jumped into the courtyard of the house, followed by the others.
? When there were so many jumping, Andi who was almost asleep couldn't help but be startled.
He looked out the window, finding Hunter and the others.
Their numbers surprised him and when his gaze met their eyes, he felt a bit uncomfortable because he realized they were very strong.
However, what surprised him more was that he knew each of them.
"Hunter, Ryan, Robin...." He called out their names one by one.
Since he knew them, they naturally knew him as well.
"Ha-ha-ha, it's you, boy!" Robin laughed. He then walked up to the house and kicked in the door directly.
"How did you get here?" Andi asked.
"Why can't we be here? I was wondering who was guarding this house, and it turned out to be you, I already know you're the kind who can't be loyal to the country," Robin replied, making Andi smile wryly.
As for how they knew each other, Hunter and the others were also members of the military. Andi was their junior who was ten years below them.
Arthur didn't care about their reunion.
His gaze went straight to the large staircase that led to the basement.
It was dark, there was only a faint glow coming from the small red lights.
Arthur stepped down the stairs.
Andi, despite wanting to chat with Robin and the others, quickly followed Arthur because he knew who the boss was here.
He then pressed a button and the lights there immediately turned on, revealing a spacious and clean basement.
Right in the center of the basement, there was a really big safe, almost as big as the body of the mercenaries' truck.
Of course, it was locked tightly. The door gave the impression like it was impossible to open unless you held the key.
"This is the biggest safe I've ever seen, the walls seem to be up to 50 cm thick," Rose said.
She looked amazed but then became doubtful whether they could open it.
"Arthur?" Isabel looked at her nephew.
Although she was now very powerful with her lightning magic, she didn't think her power was enough to punch a hole in the safe.
The main factor was naturally because her power was not the type to make a hole.
Arthur stepped closer to the safe.
Once in front of it, he placed his palm on the wall.
It was steel mixed with various types of materials, increasing its strength to a point that not even a nuclear blast could destroy it. At most, it would only bend.
Of course, for Arthur who mastered thousands of magic, it was not very significant.
In fact, he was now thinking about what magic he would use among the magic that could definitely perforate the safe.
In the end, he chose a magic that would not create any vibrations at all even though it would consume a lot of his energy.
Right after he muttered softly, a milky white light emitted from his palm.
It was small, but the part of the safe touched by the light instantly melted.
"So hot," said the mercenaries in the back. They were uncomfortable because the heat they felt exceeded the highest heat in the desert.
Some found smoke coming out of their breath, something that never happened except in winter.
Slowly, the hole in the safe became bigger. It didn't take long before it reached the other side of the safe's wall.
When the light in Arthur's hand disappeared, another light emerged from the hole.
"This..." Despite knowing there was gold inside, everyone behind Arthur still widened their eyes. Some even unconsciously took a step forward.
"My God, is this really real?" Rose wondered. She was the first to take a step.
Even if she was a woman who liked to fight, gold was still too captivating in her eyes, enough to make her mind drift all over the place.
Arthur on the other hand stepped into the safe, staring at the pile of gold bars in front of him, each of which was as big as the sole of an adult's foot.
It's hard to predict how much gold there is, but it's definitely not possible to carry it without a large truck.
Apart from the gold bars, there was also gold that had become jewelry. Most of them looked old, which was obvious because they had been made a long time ago.
Among the jewelry, some were even fused with diamonds.
The two women, Isabel and Rose stared at them as if looking for which one suited them.
Some of the jewels might have been used by certain figures in the past and thus could be more expensive.
"Alright everyone, it's time for us to move this gold. I honestly don't care too much, it doesn't matter if you want to make something like a sword or something using them later." Arthur said, surprising Hunter and the others.
He was of course telling the truth.
The money problem he thought would be solved when his business was running smoothly. Therefore, the gold was at most just a collection for him.
Rather than keep it forever, he would rather it be used for something. The important thing is that it can expedite his business.
The mercenaries' spirits rising, they began to open the large bags they were carrying.
One by one, they put the gold into the bag.
And when all the bags were full, they realized that they had only managed to take one tenth of it.
It seemed that they had to go back and forth ten times to move all the gold.
