43: Chapter 43 A Sudden Fortune! The Gold Empire Deep Beneath the Earth!

Chu Feng stepped out of the suite.

Anna scrambled up from the carpet in a hurry.

Dragging her aching legs, she walked to the massive walk-in closet and changed into a brand-new, silver-gray slim-fit professional suit.

The pencil skirt was extremely tight, clinging closely to her plump buttocks.

To make working easier, she pinned her long hair up at the back of her head, revealing her slender, fair neck.

Evelyn, who had been kneeling on the floor, picked up a long black trench coat and draped it over herself, leaving her fair, smooth legs exposed.

Lowering her head, she said, "Master, let me accompany you. I know more about the Freemasons than Anna does."

Chu Feng nodded.

A few minutes later, ten bulletproof SUVs drove out of the building's garage.

Chu Feng sat in the spacious backseat.

Evelyn knelt on the carpet in the carriage and skillfully poured a glass of chilled whiskey.

As the car drove over the potholed streets, the cabin jolted slightly.

Inside Evelyn's open trench coat, her full, snow-white breasts bounced violently, a dazzling and eye-catching sight.

Her whole body felt hot as she brought the glass to Chu Feng's lips, her eyes filled with submission.

Outside the car window was a living hell.

The streets were lined with laborers hauling stones.

Emaciated civilians, hungry to the point of being skin and bones, saw the SUV convoy and knelt by the roadside, not daring to look up.

The convoy soon arrived at Construction Site No. 4 in the south of the city.

The air was thick with the heavy stench of blood.

Not long ago, ten thousand people had died here.

The large foundation pit was filled with shredded flesh and organs, the soil soaked into a red slurry by blood.

Chu Feng stepped out of the car.

His military boots splashed into the bloody water with a sticky sound.

Evelyn and Anna followed behind.

They were usually high-and-mighty queens and had never seen such a bloody scene before.

Upon smelling the stench of blood, Anna's stomach churned, but she forced herself to endure it, not daring to vomit.

In the center of the construction site sat a massive metal disc that had been cleared by an excavator.

Engraved on it was the pattern of an open eye—the All-Seeing Eye.

Hundreds of Mech Bandits stood around it, their muzzles aimed outward in vigilance.

"Go take a look." Chu Feng pointed at the metal dome.

Anna carried the silver equipment case and walked forward.

She crouched at the edge of the metal disc, opened the case, and took out several connection cables and a scanner.

Chu Feng stood by, his gaze sweeping over Anna's hot figure.

After operating the equipment for a few minutes, Anna's face turned extremely ugly.

"Master, I can't open it." Anna's voice trembled. "The material of this metal isn't on Earth's periodic table. It's ten times harder than titanium alloy. There are no electronic ports and no physical keyholes. My equipment is completely useless."

Can't even cut through it?

Chu Feng walked to the center of the metal disc and stomped on it with his military boots.

The metal emitted a dull echo.

It was hollow underneath.

This turtle shell the Freemasons used to hide their wealth was indeed tough enough.

No wonder they dared to build their lair fifty meters underground; even a nuclear bomb might not be able to blast through it.

Chu Feng opened the system store in his mind.

He still had over a million Wealth Points in his account.

"System, find me something that can cut through this metal plate."

The light screen flickered and displayed an item.

[High-Energy Plasma Cutting Blade]

[Description: Powered by micro-controllable nuclear fusion. The blade consists of plasma at tens of thousands of degrees, capable of cutting through most metals known in the universe like tofu.]

[Price: 100,000 Wealth Points.]

One hundred thousand Wealth Points—peanuts.

Chu Feng bought it immediately.

A black metal handle appeared in his hand out of thin air.

The handle was heavy, with a non-slip texture on the surface.

"Back off." Chu Feng ordered.

Anna quickly gathered up her equipment case and retreated a dozen meters on her high heels.

Chu Feng pressed the button on the handle.

"Hum—" A blinding, bright white blade of light shot out from the top of the handle.

The light blade was a meter long, and the surrounding air was instantly distorted by the terrifying high temperature.

Chu Feng gripped the handle with both hands and plunged the plasma cutting blade straight into the dark black metal dome beneath his feet.

"Sss—" The mysterious metal that could withstand armor-piercing shells was truly like tofu in front of the light blade.

Chu Feng dragged the handle, walking a full circle around the massive All-Seeing Eye pattern.

The high heat scorched the edges of the cut red-hot, and molten iron flowed down through the gap into the underground.

After finishing the circle, Chu Feng retracted the plasma cutting blade.

He lifted his right leg and kicked the cut metal lid heavily.

"Boom!"

The thick metal lid, three meters in diameter, fell straight into the pit, creating a massive echo.

A wide underground passage was revealed.

The passage was lit by dim blue emergency lights.

A cold draft, mixed with the smell of old paper and money, blew out from the opening.

Evelyn caught the scent in the breeze, and her beautiful eyes brightened instantly.

She had managed money for half her life and was all too familiar with the smell of banknotes and gold.

"Master, there is an independent ventilation system below," Evelyn said, stepping forward. "The Freemasons' vaults are generally divided into three levels. The top layer is banknotes, the middle is antiques, and the bottom layer is physical gold."

Chu Feng looked into the deep passage.

"Let's go down and see just how much good stuff these world-plaguing tumors have stored away."

Chu Feng walked in front, descending along the metal stairs.

Anna and Evelyn followed closely behind.

Hundreds of Mech Bandits, carrying Gatling guns, filed in one after another.

The stairs were very steep.

Evelyn walked slowly in her high heels.

Her fair, long legs swayed alternately in the dim light.

She carefully gripped the cold metal railing, her full chest heaving violently.

Anna had it worse.

Her tight pencil skirt severely restricted her stride.

With every step she took, the black silk stockings at the top of her thighs tightened further.

Her silk shirt clung to her body, outlining her breathtaking fullness.

She walked behind and to the side of Chu Feng, keeping her head down, terrified that she might accidentally fall.

With a loud "bang," everyone arrived at the first underground level.

The double doors made of pure gold had been deformed by the debris of the dome that had been cut open by the plasma blade.

Several Mech Bandits stepped forward and used their violent mechanical arms to rip the two multi-ton pure gold doors clean off, tossing them onto the ground.

Chu Feng stepped inside.

This was a massive underground warehouse the size of two football fields.

Rows of ten-meter-high metal shelves were arranged neatly.

The shelves were piled high with bundles of hundred-dollar bills.

The bills were vacuum-sealed in plastic bags, stacked together like bricks.

Besides the US dollars, there were crates of Swiss francs, British pounds, and bearer bonds with staggering face values.

An entire floor of a paper currency empire.

Anna was stunned.

Although her Genesis Group had a market value of hundreds of billions, that was just a stock figure.

She had never seen so much real, hard cash piled together before.

Chu Feng walked to a shelf, casually tore open a plastic bag, and pulled out a stack of hundred-dollar bills.

The brand-new, sequential bills emitted a pleasant smell of ink.

Chu Feng let go, and the bills fell like snowflakes, covering the floor.

"System, absorb."

Chu Feng gave the command in his mind.

The system notification sound rang out frantically.

[Ding! Massive quantities of various national legal tenders and bearer bonds detected. The system is calculating the conversion to Wealth Points...]

[Due to the collapse of the global financial system, the value of paper currency has shrunk significantly. Recovering at a depreciated rate...]

[Congratulations, Host, you have obtained 50,000 Wealth Points!]

Fifty thousand points?

Chu Feng raised an eyebrow.

So much paper money, and it only converted to fifty thousand points.

It seems the system is smart.

After Los Santos was blockaded, the purchasing power of the US dollar outside plummeted; hard currency is the only real king.

But that's fine; this is only the first level.

"Find the entrance to the second level." Chu Feng ordered.

The Mech Bandits soon found the elevator to the next level at the end of the warehouse.

Chu Feng took the two women into the elevator.

With a slight sensation of weightlessness, the elevator arrived at the second underground level.

The doors opened.

There was no stench of money.

This floor was filled with rows of temperature-controlled glass display cases.

Inside were nothing but top-tier treasures from human history.

Lost medieval crowns, scepters inlaid with fist-sized rubies, and golden masks from thousands of years ago.

There were also piles of uncut, high-quality diamond ore, casually packed in woven bags and stacked in the corner.

Evelyn walked up to a glass case, her eyes locking onto it.

"Master, this is a Tsar's Fabergé egg. It was priced at 50 million USD at an auction back then and later went missing. So, it was hidden here by the Freemasons."

Chu Feng didn't even glance at it.

"Pack it all up. Take everything."

Thousands of special Mech Bandits poured down from above, smashing the glass display cases as roughly as a moving company.

All the famous paintings and antiques were rolled up into black tactical backpacks and carried away.

[Ding! Large quantities of rare antiques, jewelry, and high-purity diamonds detected. The system is calculating...]

[Congratulations, Host, you have obtained 350,000 Wealth Points!]

350,000 points in the bag!

The antiques and diamonds stored by these old foxes were indeed valuable.

A satisfied smile appeared on the corner of Chu Feng's mouth.

"Let's go, to the bottom level."

The third level was the main event.

The elevator continued to descend.

When they reached the third level, a heavy blast-proof door was locked tight.

There was a complex keypad on the door, and an iris scanner next to it.

Anna stepped forward and took a look.

"Master, this is a twelve-layer quantum encrypted door. Forcing an explosion will trigger the self-destruct device inside, which might use strong acid to destroy everything inside."

Chu Feng snorted softly.

The high-energy plasma cutting blade appeared in his hand again.

Regardless of how many layers of encryption it had, he would just cut through the door and the wall together.

A dazzling white light flashed.

A large hole was forcibly cut into the two-meter-thick alloy wall.

No self-destruct device was triggered, as the control circuits had been instantly vaporized by the high heat.

Chu Feng stepped over the glowing red metal gap and entered the third level.

The moment they went inside, Evelyn and Anna gasped instantly.

The entire third-level space was not large.

But as far as the eye could see, it was a blinding golden yellow!

There were no shelves, no packaging.

Standard gold bricks, each weighing 12.5 kilograms, were stacked from the floor to the ceiling like a brick wall!

Wall after wall of gold formed a golden maze.

Under the illumination of the lights, the pure metallic luster could blind a person's eyes.

This was the true foundation that had allowed the Freemasons to control the world for hundreds of years.

US dollars could be printed infinitely, but gold was finite.

Anna's legs went weak, and she collapsed completely onto the floor.

"This… this is at least three thousand tons…" Anna's voice trembled; she had completely lost the ability to think.

The entire official gold reserve of the USA was only a little over eight thousand tons.

There were actually over three thousand tons hidden right here!

Chu Feng strode to the gold wall.

He pressed his large hand against the cold gold bricks.

"System, recycle everything!"
