World Of Beasts: I Can See Their Hidden Stats!
/ World of Beasts: I Can See Their Hidden Stats! Chapter 179 – Broken–down Aristocrats
The four hours the captain said were actually three hours and twenty-seven minutes.
When they arrived at a small airport, the moment they got off the plane, they saw the butler, Löw, waiting for them.
“Mr. Locke, the master told me to wait for you here. This is what he asked me to give you…” After saluting, Löw took out the keys to a high-end car.
How thoughtful! Locke was getting more and more satisfied with that guy!
“You're more familiar with this place. I'll have to trouble you to be the driver!” Locke handed the car keys to Douglas again.
The two of them drove toward north.
After more than an hour, they arrived outside a manor.
This place was surrounded by a police cordon. There was no one nearby.
It looked like a haunted house.
“It seems that this matter targeting the sacred city has angered many officials. The legalists have also been mobilized…” After lowering his body and saying this, Douglas opened the boundary and returned to these familiar places.
The Trent family was even more miserable than Douglas had said!
As they had thrown poisonous food at the sacred city and intentionally incited a riot, the officials of the sacred city had already reported this to higher administrative bodies.
This matter even alarmed the secretary-general of the royal family, Peter!
Peter had personally ordered that the Trent family be dealt with severely.
No one was going to deal with the disaster that could have been avoided with money.
After all, Locke had killed them yesterday!
Since the father and son were both dead, the federal court of Gold City no longer protected them.
The police force and various law enforcement agencies were dispatched to surround the manor and they began to use the loopholes in the law to wantonly plunder.
The villas that the two of them passed through were in a mess.
The priceless artworks and decorations were also gone. Even the furniture was not the same. Everything that was valuable was gone.
Douglas was naturally well aware of this. As they passed through a garden, he sighed and said, “Everyone says that the Trent family isn't a good family. In my opinion, the officials in those agencies aren't good people either.”
Locke chuckled. “Hehe… The strong preys on the weak. This is common sense.”
Douglas came to the most inconspicuous house in the manor and pushed open the dusty wooden door.
“This house has been uninhabited all year round. The basement is very suitable for storing things…”
After all, Douglas had grown up here. He skillfully lifted a carpet. He opened the path to the basement.
“Ta… Ta… Ta… Ta…”
The lights in the basement were very dim. The clear footsteps meant that there were only the two of them here.
“This is the Trent family's previous generation's vault. It's very sturdy and can defend against strong external attacks. However, it's no longer needed. What's stored here are all collectibles. They rarely come to see it…”
Arriving in front of a room's door, Douglas stepped forward and used his pupils to look at a scanner.
“Ka!”
The door quickly opened.
“I'm in charge of underground work in the Trent family. I'll listen to their arrangements to temporarily store some high-value stolen goods here…” Douglas said as he turned on the light.
Locke looked at the things inside and his eyes instantly lit up!
This place was full of high-end artworks, paintings, and ceramics!
Although Locke was not a collector, he knew that the things here were not of the ordinary!
These items would bring him a huge profit!
After deliberately coughing twice, Douglas said embarrassingly, “Locke… I'm willing to come with you for another matter. I hope you can keep it a secret…”
Locke could roughly guess what the other party was thinking.
Now that Douglas had to work for the Trent family again, he had to consider the future of himself and Diana. The things in front of him could naturally be sold for a lot of money. It would be enough for him and Diana to live happily for the rest of their lives.
“50/50, is that okay? I want to buy the highest-grade diamond ring to propose to Diana! The other half is to thank you.” Douglas was a person who knew how to repay kindness. He could have thought of a way to keep it for himself, but he did not do so.
Locke naturally understood this and his trust in this person increased.
“I have no objections! What are they doing here? I'll sell them at a high price! Remember to ask Adelaide about the diamond ring. For my sake, he'll definitely get someone to give you a discount…”
Looking at the treasures in the room, the two of them looked at each other happily! After discussing, they summoned their Battle Beasts and began to organize and move these things.
Not long after, Douglas frowned.
“What's wrong?” Locke sensed the other party's changing emotions.
“Hiss… That's not right! The dual elemental God stone should be in this box! I swear! No one has touch it!”
Douglas' words gave Locke a headache.
Since it was a diamond, it definitely would not be too big. Hence, it was not easy to find.
Just as they and their Battle Beasts began to search carefully, a sound came from above the basement.
“Pa!”
Douglas immediately reacted. He ran up halfway and shouted, “There's someone else here!”
Locke immediately followed! He ran to the entrance of the basement and found that the door was locked!
“This door is very special. It needs a strong force. You step back, I'll let my Battle…”
Before Douglas could finish his words, Locke threw a punch upward!
“Bang!”
Locke had sent the thick and heavy door flying with a punch!
“Dang… Forget I said anything…” Douglas swallowed his saliva. He was even more certain that Locke had shown him mercy previously!
This door weighed at least a thousand pounds! This guy had blasted it open with one punch! This strength was too terrifying!
Not only were the Battle Beasts strong, the humans were also very strong!
The two of them walked out of the house and decided to split up to look for the intruders.
Locke looked around and found that nothing unusual happened.
However, there were sounds of fighting coming from Douglas' side.
After arriving at the scene, Locke found that the Gold-armored Skeleton Squad had appeared. He and his master were looking at a black-robed fellow vigilantly.
Seeing Locke arrive, Douglas said, “The dual elemental God stone is with this fellow. Be careful, his Battle Beast is a little special…”
The black-robed man looked like he was in his thirties. There was a strange look in his eyes and a mysterious smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.
The man opened his mouth and said, “Douglas… I know you. I didn't expect that you'd also steal from yourself.”
Douglas puffed out his chest and his face was expressionless as he said, “Stop with the moral kidnapping! Are you going to leave these things here and wait for those greedy officials to plunder them? This place is already a treasure without an owner! Whoever has the ability will take it! This is related to the happiness of my lover and me for the rest of our lives!”
