At this moment, Carmen Hughes was completely unaware that her reputation had been damaged and was still concentrating on leading the meeting.
Following Kidd, Makoto Sakaki came to the southeast corner of the first floor of the manor.
This place is just in the opposite direction of the library. Unlike other places, there are not many decorations here, only a gate carved from pure steel.
"Is the vault located in a place like this?"
Sakaki Makoto said in surprise:
"Wouldn't it be too conspicuous?"
"From my professional perspective..."
Kidd narrowed his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed across them:
"The Hughes family was extremely confident in the vault they built and believed that no one could break into it in a short time."
He pointed to the window beside the corridor and said:
"From this window, you can directly see the situation of the first-floor door. If the FBI sends out snipers..."
"Wouldn't the thief be completely exposed in their sights?"
“That makes sense.”
Sakaki Makoto nodded.
There is a camera on the left corner above the gate. Kidd took out the fingerprint sticker he had prepared in advance and pressed it on the detector of the gate. Soon...
【Certification passed】
A cold, emotionless, mechanized female voice sounded, and after the fingerprint authentication was passed, the pure steel door opened inwards.
at the same time...
Inside the gate, the four security guards guarding the vault immediately stood up and shouted respectfully:
"Mr. Carmen!"
"Um."
Kidd waved his hand and took out the key:
"Open the door."
"yes!"
Without any unnecessary nonsense, the security guards inserted the key into the keyhole. After a click, four people worked together to turn the gears on the door. The rusty gears made a decayed groan, as if they could not bear the weight.
With the joint efforts of 4 people...
The vault slowly opened, and a faint musty smell wafted into the air.
Four security guards stood by the door, looking straight ahead, with expressions similar to those of my major, who was watching the gate.
Kidd and Makoto Sakaki looked at each other and walked into the vault.
The Hughes family's vault is piled with ancient books, some of whose yellowed pages have been scattered everywhere, as brittle as pancakes.
This is the information that the Hughes family has painstakingly accumulated since its founding.
Whenever Sakaki Makoto opens a sword book, he can see the name of a famous person written on it.
From popular stars and businessmen to national politicians and presidents...
The vault, which is only 40 to 50 square meters, contains everything and is filled with the stench of power, money, and sex transactions.
Sakaki Makoto really disliked, or even hated, looking through these records.
Every time he saw this kind of thing, he would feel like vomiting from the bottom of his heart, as if what was written on the paper was not words, but bloody bone marrow.
The security personnel outside were very puzzled that the master brought a maid into the vault.
The members of the Hughes family are well aware of the importance of the vault. In addition to the necessary guards...
No outsiders are allowed to approach.
But today, the patriarch of the Hughes family broke the rules himself.
The security guards didn't dare to say anything and simply pretended they didn't see anything.
"Biography Biography..."
This was Kidd's first time inside the vault, and he was not very clear about the exact location of Amanda Hughes' biography.
Rather...
There is no order here at all, it's just chaos.
There was no way. There was simply too much information. The Hughes family would not allow anyone else to get their hands on the information, and it was too troublesome to clean it up by themselves, so they simply left it alone.
Anyway...
They rarely need to use the information.
In other words, the Hughes family's treasury is one of the umbrellas for their family's prosperity.
Regardless of whether the information inside is damaged or not, as long as the vault exists, the businessmen and politicians outside will be terrified and dare not disobey the Hughes family.
After many years...
Into the vault, the thief entered for the first time.
No one expected that the Phantom Thief Kidd, who specialized in stealing gems, would come to the United States and set his sights on information that was worthless to him.
After rummaging around for a while, Kidd pulled out a dusty box from under the iron rack.
After brushing off the dust, he opened the box and suddenly his eyes lit up:
“Found it!”
Makoto Sakaki, who was looking for information on the other side, immediately put down the worn-out book in his hand and came to Kidd.
"Mr. Sakaki, look..."
Kidd glanced at the security guard outside the door, confirmed that there was nothing unusual, and whispered:
"This biography records the history of the Hughes family's rise to wealth..."
“It turns out that they had already established themselves here in the 18th century.”
"Shit! No wonder they've developed so quickly, it turns out they're the beneficiaries of the War of Independence!"
The book records that between 1776 and 1783, the 13 northern American states won the War of Independence under the leadership of Washington, and successively formulated a series of laws, and the United States was officially born.
During the War of Independence, there was naturally the presence of families supporting Washington.
When the United States was founded, the biggest beneficiary was the Hughes family.
They arranged for family members to enter politics, changed their appearance, separated politics from business but not family, and turned to secret development. They openly promoted liberalism, but in fact they were still the top rulers and oligarchs in the United States.
but...
During the Industrial Revolution in the United States, the Hughes family, which had not yet grown large, could not take on a piece of the big pie of the United States, and many century-old families emerged.
After the Great Depression, in order to maintain 'order'...
They came up with a dirty trick.
