39: Chapter 39 The Queen of Silicon Valley Surrenders! A Top-Secret Underground Fortress Worth Trillions!

Chu Feng leaned back on the sofa, sipping the red wine in his glass.

As the first woman to follow Chu Feng, Alice had her long golden hair disheveled across her fair, fragrant shoulders. She rested lazily by Chu Feng's thigh, looking like a well-fed Persian cat.

Chu Feng pressed the communicator: "Speak clearly, what big fish?"

The Bandit Commander's emotionless voice came through: "We caught Anna, the CEO of 'Genesis', the largest tech group in Silicon Valley, at a hidden villa in Beverly Hills. There are also a few top venture capital tycoons from Wall Street."

"Furthermore, through interrogating these people, we discovered an explosion-proof door made of aerospace-grade alloy deep in the abandoned No. 2 subway line in downtown Los Santos. Inside is an independently circulating underground fortress."

The Bandit Commander paused: "We sent a ten-man special operations team to attempt a demolition, but the explosion-proof door triggered an internal automated defense system equipped with high-energy laser weapons. Ten of our brothers were killed in action."

Chu Feng's eyes lit up.

An automated defense system that could instantly kill ten elite bandit soldiers? To think that good stuff was hidden beneath Los Santos.

"Bring them up."

Chu Feng put down his wine glass.

Hearing Chu Feng's voice, Alice was the first to force herself up from the carpet.

Jessica walked to Chu Feng's feet, took out a brand-new pair of custom leather shoes from a nearby shoebox, and carefully put them on for Chu Feng.

A few minutes later.

The heavy wooden door of the suite was pushed open.

Four fully armed, black-clad bandit soldiers escorted three people inside.

Walking in the lead was a woman wearing a silver professional suit.

She was tall with long chestnut hair.

Although her face was stained with dust, it could not hide the delicacy and sophistication of her features.

The suit clung tightly to her body, showcasing a perfect waist-to-hip ratio, and her long, slender legs were clad in black silk stockings.

Even in a desperate situation, her gaze still held a hint of arrogance.

Anna.

The founder and CEO of the Genesis Tech Group.

The true queen of the USA tech world, with a net worth exceeding 300 billion USD.

Following behind Anna were two pot-bellied white old men.

Both were usually capital tycoons who could stir up storms on NASDAQ.

Now, however, they were trembling with fear, and as soon as they entered, they knelt directly on the carpet.

"Mr. Chu! Don't kill us!"

The white old man on the left kowtowed frantically: "I am willing to hand over all my bearer accounts in the Swiss Bank! There are a full 20 billion USD in them! Please, spare my life!"

Chu Feng ignored the two old men on the ground and fixed his gaze directly on Anna.

Anna was forced to look up.

The first thing she saw was Evelyn standing behind Chu Feng.

Anna was stunned.

She and Evelyn had met at many business galas; both were top-tier businesswomen in the USA.

Immediately after, Anna saw a Hollywood film queen, as well as the stunningly beautiful Jessica and Alice.

Alice, in particular, was holding a crystal ashtray, her eyes full of submission to the man.

A crack appeared in Anna's psychological defenses.

Chu Feng walked up to Anna.

"The fortress in the abandoned subway station, is it yours?" Chu Feng's voice was flat.

Anna gritted her teeth, forcing herself to remain calm: "Yes. It is a doomsday shelter built by the Genesis Group at a cost of 10 billion USD. It has an independent nuclear power battery inside, which can sustain 500 people for 50 years."

Anna took a deep breath and puffed out her proud chest: "Chu Feng, if you want money, I can give it to you. The fortress stores all the core data servers of the Genesis Group, as well as over 500 tons of physical gold reserves. These are all trump cards used to cope with a global financial collapse."

500 tons of gold.

At current market prices, it's worth tens of billions of USD.

Not to mention the priceless scientific data inside.

Anna stared into Chu Feng's eyes: "The fortress's defense system is controlled by an independent artificial intelligence. Except for my own retina, fingerprints, and dynamic voiceprint, no one can open the door. Even if you flattened Los Santos with missiles, the fortress would remain intact."

"As long as you agree to let me leave the USA safely, I can take you inside and give you everything." Anna proposed her condition.

In her view, no one could refuse the temptation of 500 tons of gold.

Chu Feng curled his lips and smiled.

He turned and sat back on the sofa, took the cigar handed to him by Alice, and took a puff.

"Do you think you are qualified to negotiate terms with me?"

Chu Feng exhaled a puff of smoke.

Anna's expression changed: "You can't get into the fortress; if you kill me, you will get nothing!"

"Is that so?"

Chu Feng waved his hand at the bandit soldier beside him: "Dispose of these two old guys. They are too noisy."

"Yes!"

The bandit soldier didn't say another word, pulling out a pistol equipped with a silencer.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

Two soft sounds.

The heads of the venture capital tycoons who were kowtowing and begging for mercy just a moment ago now had bloody holes, and red and white fluids splashed onto Anna's expensive high heels.

Anna backed away two steps in fright, her face instantly turning pale.

Although she was a tech queen, she was ultimately just a businesswoman.

Where had she ever seen such bloody and direct slaughter?

The two bandit soldiers dragged the bodies out of the room like dead dogs.

Chu Feng leaned back on the sofa, eyeing Anna's graceful figure wrapped in the tight suit.

"Lead the way. To the abandoned subway station."

Chu Feng stood up and walked straight toward the door.

Anna stood still, her legs feeling a bit weak: "You haven't agreed to my conditions yet."

Chu Feng stopped and looked back at her.

"I don't need to agree to any of your conditions."

Chu Feng's tone was frighteningly calm, "If you don't lead the way, I will have someone gouge out your eyes and cut off your fingers one by one to use for the password."

"I forgot to tell you, a living person's retina works, and a person who has just died works just as well."

Hearing this, Anna trembled all over, as if falling into an ice cellar.

She glanced at Evelyn and Alice, who were as docile as cats beside them.

She finally understood why these women had ended up in this situation.

In the face of absolute violence.

All business logic and negotiation skills were just waste paper.

There was only life and death.

Half an hour later.

Dozens of black armored vehicles stopped in front of the entrance to a dilapidated subway station in downtown Los Santos.

A full 3,000 elite bandit soldiers sealed off all the surrounding blocks.

Surrounded by numerous bandit soldiers, Chu Feng led Anna into the pitch-black underground passage.

After walking more than 100 meters down the abandoned tracks, the area ahead suddenly opened up.

A tall and wide silver-white alloy door appeared at the end of the tunnel.

There were no gaps on the surface of the door, and it was full of a sci-fi feel.

On the ground in front of the door lay ten bodies of black-clad bandit soldiers scattered about.

Their bulletproof vests had been sliced through by a high-energy beam, and not a single drop of blood flowed from the wounds because they had been instantly carbonized.

This was the laser defense net developed by the Genesis Group.

Anna stood outside the safety line ten meters in front of the door and glanced at the bodies on the ground.

"Chu Feng, this is your last chance." Anna bit her red lips, "As long as you promise to spare me and let me take what I need, I will open the door for you."

Chu Feng pulled out his Desert Eagle and cocked it directly.

The muzzle was pressed against the back of Anna's head.

"Open the door. Or I will do it myself and take your organs to open it."

Feeling the cold metal touch at the back of her head.

All of Anna's pride and confidence completely collapsed.

She was trembling all over, tears welling up in her eyes.

She took two steps forward.

A blue scanning beam lit up above the alloy door, sweeping over Anna's entire body from top to bottom.

"Biometric identification passed. Madam CEO, welcome back."

A cold, mechanical female voice came from inside the door.

Anna walked to a hidden panel on the right side of the door, pressed her palm print, and then brought her eye to the iris scanner.

"Activate the final defense." Anna said a string of complex dynamic passphrases in a trembling voice.

"Click—"

A heavy sound of a metal valve echoed.

The one-meter-thick aerospace-grade alloy explosion-proof door slowly slid open to both sides.

A scent of disinfectant mixed with cold air blew out from inside.

Inside the door was a spacious, bright, and huge space full of futuristic technology.

Chu Feng kicked Anna into the door and led his men inside.

Walking into the core area of the fortress.

Even Chu Feng, who had seen big scenes, couldn't help but have his eyes flicker slightly.

Rows of black server arrays, several meters high, were flickering with a faint light, storing the USA's most cutting-edge artificial intelligence and quantum computing technology.

And behind the server arrays.

Was a huge, completely open vault.

There were no USD in the vault.

Only neatly stacked, mountainous piles of gold bars!

Under the blinding lights, the glow emitted by the 500 tons of gold was enough to make anyone in the world go crazy.

In his mind, the system notification exploded instantly!

[Ding! Detected a massive reserve of physical gold! High-level conversion is in progress...]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining Wealth Points: 200,000 points!]

[Ding! Detected top-tier technology server arrays and top-secret data, triggering a special resource recovery mechanism!]

[Converting technology data into War Technology Points and Wealth Points...]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining Wealth Points: 300,000 points!]

A full 500,000 Wealth Points credited!

Added to the previous balance.

The Wealth Points on Chu Feng's system account directly broke through the terrifying figure of 1.6 million!

He had struck it rich.

This was the real gold coin explosion.

These tech giants in Silicon Valley were even wealthier than those financial vampires on Wall Street.

Anna slumped on the ground, watching Chu Feng's men rush into the vault and server area like locusts.

Her decades of hard work and the entire foundation of the Genesis Group had, in this moment, completely become someone else's spoils of war.

Chu Feng walked up to Anna.

Looking at the tech queen who was weak all over and covered in tear stains.

Chu Feng bent down and reached out to pinch her fair and delicate face.

"Good figure, and the brain is useful enough too."

Chu Feng's gaze swept over Anna's legs wrapped in silk stockings, "From today on, you are responsible for staying in this fortress and helping me manage these servers."

"Be my female slave, and I guarantee you will live even more comfortably in Los Santos than before."

Anna looked up, meeting Chu Feng's oppressive gaze.

She gritted her teeth and very sensibly lowered her head.

"Yes, Master."
