Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 497: Accidental Discovery

Alan picked up a bowl full of soup and brought it to his mouth. He drank a large mouthful of soup and waited for Ruo La to tell him about her business. Zora looked at him and leaned forward slightly. She lowered her voice and said, "I'm going to rob Glar's mansion!"

Alan almost spat out a mouthful of soup. His face turned red and he swallowed the things in his mouth with great difficulty before breathing a sigh of relief. Then he shook his head and said, "Am I mistaken? What did you say just now? To rob Viscount Glar? What kind of business is this?"

"You don't know that, do you? That Glar is not a good guy. After following my brother for so many years, I wonder how much dirty money he has embezzled. He didn't dare to hide the money in his territory for fear of losing the population. Instead, he put it in the mansion. It took me a long time to get the news. It was roughly estimated that there were about three to four million gold coins, or the equivalent of valuables, in the Grana Mansion. Jewelry, jewelry. "

"Even so, why did you rob him?" Alan cut off a piece of bacon and chewed it in his mouth.

Ruo La rolled her eyes. "Why? Because all the money in his mansion is shameful. Even if someone robbed him, he could only stare at him. You said that he would take advantage of it for nothing. What do you want, do you want to do with me? After that, I'll split 30% of the money with you. If you don't, I'll find someone else to cooperate with."

"Big sister, do you need to rob me? Do you need money?" Ellen did not believe that the Count's sister would need money to rob her.

'"Do you think that the Deep Sea Scaled Concubine will have less money to maintain her military? Warriors, what kind of equipment do you need to pay for a warhorse? Although my brother allocates money every year, I really don't have much money on hand. Besides, it's not bad to be able to defeat an old greedy fellow like Grar, let alone this is very exciting!"

Alan finished the remaining bacon, picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth.

Jorah said excitedly, "Did you agree?"

"Why not? Anyway, you won't be at a disadvantage if you follow Miss Ruola, right?"

"You have good taste." "I'll invite him to White Castle tonight. I'll use the bath as an excuse to drag him along for a while and we'll take this opportunity to rob his mansion. His money is hidden in the cellar, and I've found out where it is. I'll ask Glar to let out some blood for him," Zora said with a smile.

This matter was settled.

In the evening, in one of the garbage rooms of his own mansion, Grall dragged a shelf to cover the entrance to the cellar. Today, Charlie ordered his men to bring over the remaining nine boxes filled with magic crystals. Currently, over a thousand Blood Boiling Magic Crystals were hidden in Grar's secret vault. These ten boxes were worth over a million gold coins, and they could already be considered a considerable amount of wealth.

After all, a hundred thousand gold coins was enough for a wealthy family to live luxuriously for a year in Oliska, the imperial capital.

Of course, Grar wouldn't sell the magic crystals. Although in the market, magic crystals could also be used as hard currency because of their production. However, it could be used for a wider range of purposes. For example, a group of killers with magic crystals could erupt with power that surprised their opponents when needed, and so on.

Grar smiled. A hundred Blood Boiling Demon Crystals were hard to find, but they could do a lot of things.

He left the grocery room with satisfaction and returned to the study. His nephew Abel came before his butt was hot. Abel pushed open the door and said, "Uncle Glar, there you are. I've been looking for you for a long time."

Abel's face was full of smiles today. The corner of his eyebrows was filled with joy as he swept past yesterday's decadence. "Why are you so happy today?" Glar asked curiously.

"Can I be unhappy with Miss Ruola this afternoon?"

"Ruola? This is quite strange." '"Then did you take the opportunity to express your feelings?" Glar smiled dryly.

Abel shook his head and said, "Miss Jorah is talking business with me. After all, we are stationed at the Bauhinia Colony, so we have to be prepared for Daniel's territory. However, I am very satisfied to be able to stay so intimately with her for an afternoon."

"That's enough, you unambitious fellow!" Glar rolled his eyes upwards.

"Oh right, uncle. Miss Ruola wants to invite you over after dinner. There are some things I need to discuss with you." Abel patted his head and said that he had almost forgotten about this serious matter.

Glar frowned and said, "What are you looking for me to discuss?"

"She said that you are the real manager of the Bauhinia Colony. Of course, there are many things that require your consent before they can be carried out."

"She really said that," Glar was stunned.

"Yes, Uncle. Although Miss Ruola didn't say it out loud, I can tell from her tone that she still respects you." Abel added, "She also said that when I was young, Uncle Glar treated her best."

'"This Jorah is a nice little fellow," laughed Grall, as if she had eaten honey. "I carried her when she was very young. But she still remembered, alright, come with me after dinner later."

"Alright, then I'll have the kitchen prepare dinner."

Glar snorted and laughed, "You impatient little fellow."

Abel laughed.

After dinner, a carriage brought Gral and Abel to White Castle. The two of them arrived at an independent building where Jorah had lived since childhood. They were invited to the main hall by the maid. After serving black tea, Ruo pulled them out and said to them, "Uncle Glar, you came a little early. Look, I just want to take a bath. Why don't you have some tea first?"

Seeing that Zora was only wearing a thin pajamas that were rarely seen, the faint curves under her clothes made Abel feel a flame burning in his chest. "Of course, we'll just wait here," he said before Grar. "Right, uncle."

Ruo La looked at Grar apologetically again. Grar could only helplessly nod his head. After Ruo pulled him away, he glanced at Abel and said, "You're getting more and more impolite."

Abel smiled and did not refute. A moment later, the sound of water rang out upstairs. Abel could not help but imagine the moving appearance of Ruo pulling into the bath.

In the bathroom on the second floor of the small building, the bathtub was rumbling with water, and a maid whisked in the water with a towel from time to time. Her voice sounded almost the same as that of Ruola who was bathing. As for Ruo La, she had already changed into a lightweight outfit and drilled out of the window, landing silently on the ground. A moment later, she had already left White Castle. At this time, it was already completely dark. She drilled into a side alley near White Castle and coughed twice.

A figure appeared behind the lamp post and Alan nodded at her.

"Let's go." Ruola smiled and said, "We have about forty minutes."

"You took a long bath."

"I can stay longer. This is a woman's patent."

After ten minutes, the two of them arrived outside Grar's mansion. A few guards patrolled the mansion. It was noteworthy that one of the guards was on the roof of the mansion. His perspective covered the vast open space in front of the gate. Alan gestured for Jorah to follow behind him. The two of them bypassed the mansion and arrived at the rear. Zora followed behind Alan and found it interesting. These guards were only rank 5 or 6 warriors, so they could be used as a front. The effect was limited, at least it wouldn't be difficult for Ellen and Jorah.

The two of them flipped through the wall behind the mansion and flashed to the corner of the main building like a wisp of smoke, forming a blind spot with the guards on the rooftop. Alan pulled out the dagger behind his waist and gently pried open a tightly shut window on his head. Ruo La gave him a thumbs up, and Alan smiled, and he went through the window. After landing on the ground, he rolled and silently pasted himself onto the wall.

Jorah stuck her head out of the window and Ellen made a safe gesture to her. She rolled over and closed the window carefully.

When they arrived at the mansion, Ruo La, like an old horse, knew the way and led Allen stealthily all the way. Along the way, they might encounter three or five servants, but the two of them avoided them with their light movements. The two of them shuttled through the mansion like ghosts until Ruo La stopped in front of a miscellaneous room. Alan looked at her doubtfully. Ruo La used two copper wires to unlock the door of the grocery room, flashed in with Alan, and closed the door.

The two of them leaned against the door and looked at each other. There were many things piled up in the grocery room. The space was narrow and the two of them were almost stuck together. Alan could smell the faint fragrance floating from Jorah's body, and he heard Jorah say, "Don't worry, Glar is hiding everything here. I know all about it."

After saying that, he led Alan through all the debris and arrived at a shelf. She moved the shelf away with a wall at the back. Ruo La stretched out her hand and slapped the wall, causing a muffled sound to come from the wall. She wasn't in a hurry either. She slapped her hand inch by inch and finally landed on the lower left corner of her hand. A hollow voice could be heard. Ruo La smiled and said, "I found it."

She pressed down forcefully, and the wall immediately sunk into a brick position. A soft sound of gears spinning could be heard from within the wall. Ruo pulled back. A moment later, a square gap opened up where she had just stood, and there was a pitch-black passage below. Alan could only see the three or so stairs with his full eyesight. "Look, I knew I was in the right place. Follow me, time is of the essence." Zora smiled smugly as the passageway stretched downwards.

She floated down and channeled her Origin Energy. The light blue Origin Energy flames pierced through her body, but it served as illumination. The passageway wasn't long, and it soon came to an end. At the end was a bronze door with chains and a steel lock. Ruo La squatted down and used a steel wire to pierce through the lock hole, gently pushing the lock bead. A moment later, a soft "da" sound came from the lock and the bronze lock was unlocked. If he puts the bronze lock on the ground and pulls out the chains, he pushes the door open and enters.

The door opened a crack. At this moment, Alan seemed to smell a strand of fishy wind.

His hair stood up, a sense of danger. By this time, Ruo La had already pushed open the door. He shouted softly, "Be careful."

A few faint red lights lit up in the door, and then a fishy breeze pounced on Ruo La. Suddenly, a ferocious head appeared in the Origin Energy flames that shot out of Ruo La's body. It was a bit like a wolf's head, and it opened its mouth wide. It stuck out a slender tongue that was like a needle tube from inside, and it swiftly pointed towards Ruo La's chest.

Alan stretched out his hand to drag Ruo La back, and at the same time, the dagger came forward. The devil's praise did not activate his awakening posture, but instead sliced towards the thin tongue. The slender tongue responded to the knife and flew down, spraying out a dark red blood droplet. The werewolf retreated in pain. Alan let go of Ruo La and held the dagger. An orange arc flashed in the dim cellar. A moment later, Alan retreated and nodded, "It's safe."

They found the candlestick on the wall by the door. There were still unfinished candles on the candlestick. Alan bent his finger and ejected a wisp of flame, lighting up all the candlesticks. Thus, this Graar's secret vault appeared in the eyes of the two of them. There was a beast corpse lying on the ground. This wolf beast should be Galermon's guard. He did have some decorations. This kind of wild beast should be able to recognize his scent. Once he smelled that it wasn't Grar, he would be attacked when the bronze door opened.

Allen found that its broken tongue had a sharp spike-like object at the end of the tongue, and it was hollow. It could be imagined that it would extract blood from its prey as soon as it was nailed into its body. This was actually a vampire beast.

But now, its head and body were separated. The cut was charred black, and it was Allen's masterpiece.

Ruo La glanced at the corpse, especially when he saw the incision on the corpse. She quickly turned her gaze away and looked at the boxes piled up by the wall in the cellar. Some of the boxes were half-opened, and one could see jewelry piled up in chaos. Ruola chuckled and said, "Look, Uncle Gral has more money than I thought."

Alan was also secretly shocked. If all the boxes inside were filled with gold coins or jewelry, then they would be worth more than a few million gold coins. There might be tens of millions of gold coins in them. Even if Grar was a viscount, it would take him tens of millions of gold coins to accumulate such wealth. Most importantly, according to Jorah, these are dirty money. Otherwise, Grar wouldn't have been so careful to set up a cellar under the mansion.

"But, with so many things, do you think the two of us can move here?"

"Of course we can't move here, so we'll just take the savings voucher." Ruola blinked.

The Baylagon Empire had imperial banks everywhere, and depositors could put gold coins into banks in exchange for an equivalent amount of vouchers to carry with them. Alan shook his head when he saw Zola rummaging through the boxes and cabinets. If Grall hadn't left the voucher here, the two of them would have been in vain.

"Hurry up and help me find it. Why are you standing there in a daze?" Ruo La said.

"Yes, yes, young miss." Alan casually opened a suitcase closest to him. When he opened the suitcase, his eyes were filled with crimson crystal stones.

Ruo La didn't mean to look at him and immediately said, "Boiling Blood Demon Crystal? Does Grar actually have this?"

Judging from Ruo La's appearance, she was very surprised that there was actually something like the Blood Boiling Demon Crystal in Grar's collection.
