14: Everything is ready

“Good morning.”

“Good morning.”

Pacific Standard Bank.

Polaris, with short dark green hair and wearing a staff uniform, greeted her colleagues with a smile.

The day after she and Joa moved into their new home, her identity issue was properly arranged by Merryweather's female assistant.

Afterward, Joa took her to the dilapidated apartment building just one street away from Hell's Kitchen.

They jointly participated in and planned the preliminary work for the Pacific Standard Bank robbery.

This time, Joa entrusted the escape vehicle matter to Nigger.

He was to find suitable vehicles.

As for the driver who had not shown up before, Joa excluded him from this job.

Bank robbery was a big deal, and Joa could not trust a secretive fellow.

As soon as Nigger found suitable vehicle information, Joa planned to personally go and put the vehicles into the system space, to be taken out when they escaped.

As for why he did not do this last time, but parked the car in the parking lot.

It was also because Joa did not trust that secretive driver.

After all, it was their first collaboration, and the other party did not show his face, so Joa was very wary of him, fearing that he might have tampered with the car.

No matter what surveillance or listening devices.

If the signal suddenly disappeared, it would definitely arouse the other party's suspicion.

Moreover, Joa could not ask Avi to check.

Once the other party was alerted, if he made an alarm call, or directly notified Stark Industries, then all his preliminary work would be in vain.

That was why he parked the car in the parking lot.

Then someone might ask.

If that was the case, why not change to another person?

To this, Joa just wanted to say that he did change, changed several drivers, but all these drivers were the same, it would be the same no matter who he changed to.

Therefore, Joa directly had Nigger responsible for finding the car this time.

Nigger held two positions in this job, both as a gunman and a driver.

Polaris was the same, she had to assist Joa in robbing the gold, and also be responsible for the preliminary reconnaissance of the vault location and defensive forces.

Now that she had successfully applied to be a bank teller and came here to work, it was Joa who arranged for someone to do it.

And Joa himself quietly infiltrated the East University Ambassador to America.

He found the East University Ambassador to America and expressed his desire to sell fifty tons of gold to East University.

Regarding this Asian who had stealthily infiltrated the embassy and spoke fluent Chinese.

The East University Ambassador to America's thoughts raced.

After all, even a fool could see how abnormal it was for Joa to stealthily infiltrate the embassy and say he wanted to sell fifty tons of gold.

‘America's conspiracy?’

‘Framing?’

‘Wanting to do some small actions to affect East University's international reputation?’

Without much hesitation, the East University Ambassador to America directly refused Joa's transaction request.

“If you really want to sell us gold, we are certainly interested in acquiring it, but I'm afraid, your purpose or the purpose of the person behind you is not that simple, is it?”

“I advise you not to engage in any underhanded small actions, it's useless.”

“Ah? I…”

Hearing the obvious distrust in the other party's tone, Joa was at a loss for words for a moment.

‘It seems I can only come to him after the gold is stolen, causing a sensation throughout Los Santos, and even the entire U.S..’

‘I imagine by then he will no longer have these reservations and doubts.’

······

Evening.

Joa, frustrated at the embassy, drove to Pacific Standard Bank to pick up Polaris from work.

“How does working feel?”

“Hmm, not as interesting as I thought.”

“Hahaha, how could working be an interesting thing?”

With a light chuckle, Joa asked about the vault.

“Any progress?”

After a moment of contemplation, Polaris shook her head and spoke.

“Didn't get any useful information.”

“Today was my first day at work, I just generally got to know my colleagues and supervisors.”

“I haven't even had time to familiarize myself with the entire internal architectural structure of the bank.”

Upon hearing this, Joa smiled and nodded.

“No rush, take your time.”

“This kind of thing must be cautious, and must not cause any alarm.”

“Just treat it as experiencing life, and come here to work normally.”

“No need to deliberately inquire about the vault or anything.”

“Just remember the identities of those who hold more important positions and have higher status within the bank.”

“If everything is ready and there is still no progress here, then I will personally go and find those bank managers one by one.”

Hearing Joa's words, Polaris nodded heavily.

“Hmm, I understand.”

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

Most of the preparations for robbing Pacific Standard Bank had been completed.

Sufficient firepower and the escape vehicle had been placed in Joa's system space.

The bank's internal structure and camera locations had been clearly scouted by Avi through the hidden camera on Polaris.

Now everything was ready, only the specific location of the underground vault remained, and then they could act.

But only this matter had made no progress.

Without figuring out the vault's location, they could not act.

If it was just robbing cash, they could go in and start robbing.

But gold was not stored with cash.

Even the bank staff did not know where the gold was stored.

Only a very small number of certain high-level bank executives knew the location of the gold storage and held the keys to open the vault.

Moreover, even they needed a series of fingerprint and iris verifications to open the vault door.

Sitting in the car, smoking.

Joa suddenly noticed a young Asian woman and a Nigger kissing each other on the roadside.

“Heh, Easy Girl?”

“It truly is America, to let me see in reality the meme that went viral online before I transmigrated.”

His face was full of mockery, and Joa's misophonia acted up, always having an impulse to shoot those two people on the street.

“What easy girl? Are you talking about me?”

Turning his head at the sound, Joa looked at Polaris, who had just opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

Then he gestured with his chin towards the direction where the Nigger and the Asian woman were kissing.

“I'm talking about the people over there.”

Looking in the direction Joa indicated, Polaris was puzzled.

“What's wrong with them? Aren't they just a normal couple?”

Upon hearing this, Joa smiled bitterly and shook his head.

“Never mind, let's talk about something else.”

“Any progress today?”

Seeing that Joa did not want to say more and changed the subject, Polaris also stopped asking, and immediately followed Joa's words, speaking seriously.

“Yes!”

“Today, when I went to deliver documents to the general manager, who has a particularly bad reputation within the bank.”

“I accidentally overheard outside the door about transferring the gold in the vault to the Federal Reserve vault.”

“Tsk, speaking of this, I'm very annoyed. That old bastard doesn't even look at himself, and he even hinted that if I want a promotion, I have to sleep with him?!”

“I finally understand why his reputation in the bank is so bad.”

“Damn it, the colleagues in the bank are no good either, they clearly knew about this old bastard's behavior, but they pushed the task of delivering documents to me!”
