Chapter 332 The Gringotts Heist (Part 1)
"After so many days of testing, we have proven that the portkey you made can indeed be used."
In the Masonic Secret Realm, Mike looked at the mug floating in the air and said to Zhou Hong with satisfaction,
"I have to say, you did a great job!"
"Of course, don't you see who did it!"
Benjamin said excitedly. He looked even happier than Zhou Hong himself, which made everyone present speechless.
"Okay, let's not talk about this. Now that the door key is ready, we just need Victor's dissolving solution." Mike said, "Benjamin, how is his situation?"
Hearing this, Benjamin changed his previous playful look and said seriously:
"The progress is pretty good. The dissolving solution can shorten the time by one minute. In other words, we only need 4 minutes to break the damn door now."
"Oh, that's really good." Mike said, "In that case, let's start the action early tomorrow morning. Let's take a break today. Everyone will gather here at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning." As soon as
these words came out, everyone in the conference room was happy, and then everyone's loud voice rushed to the ceiling.
"Yes!"
...
The next morning, Franklin, who was so excited that he couldn't sleep, pulled Clinton to the conference room before dawn.
When he arrived at the conference room, he found that there was a big black suitcase on the table of the conference room.
Franklin looked at the suitcase curiously. He knew that the things inside must be related to today's action.
Clinton, who was still yawning beside him, knew what he was thinking. She slapped Franklin's strong arm and scolded him:
"Don't move! Wait until the president comes before opening it!"
Franklin, who was scolded, was not angry, but just kept saying yes, with an extremely humble attitude.
There was nothing he could do about it. Clinton was pulled out before dawn today, and he was indeed in the wrong.
After being stopped, Franklin also gave up the idea of opening the box in advance, and could only wait for Mike to come.
Fortunately, Mike unexpectedly did not arrive on time as usual today. Franklin and others waited for a short time, and Mike walked into the meeting room under the light of the rising sun.
"Mike, that suitcase..."
Franklin couldn't wait to ask Mike when he saw him, but before he finished speaking, he found that Mike did not stop at all after entering the meeting room, and walked straight to the box.
Then, Franklin saw Mike open the box very skillfully, and took out a pair of 'Ha Plant Monkey Mask' and a set of pure black combat uniforms.
"This... what is this?"
Franklin was dumbfounded and speechless, and Mike said impatiently:
"What are you still standing there for? Come and choose a set, first come first served!"
Hearing this, Franklin no longer hesitated and walked quickly to the box.
As soon as he saw the items in the box, the expression on Franklin's face became extremely strange.
"This... is this Spider-Man? And this, is it Wolverine and Deadpool?"
Franklin had a constipated face. The things in the suitcase really made him speechless. There were actually sets of comic character cosplay clothes in it, and the one Mike was wearing was already the most normal!
"You, let us wear this to rob Gringotts?"
"Do you have any opinion?"
Mike's words made Franklin sober up instantly. He gave up the rest of those unrealistic fantasies and began to choose clothes.
In the end, Franklin chose a set of clothes for the Hulk, because he felt that the Hulk's strong and powerful body was more suitable for him.
Clinton was not a combatant and was not on the list of this operation, so she did not step forward to choose clothes, but carefully helped Franklin put on the clothes of the Hulk.
Mike, who was standing by, saw Franklin's choice and showed a strange look on his face.
During this period, Zhou Hong told a lot about his hometown, including the meaning of green in his hometown.
Just when Mike was thinking about it, the Weasley brothers also yawned and walked into the meeting room.
But as soon as they entered the meeting room, they were dumbfounded.
"What are you doing?" George said in amazement.
And Fred beside him laughed directly with his stomach covered.
"What are you laughing at! You have to wear it too!" Franklin said viciously, but he suddenly figured out something as soon as he said it.
There are only 6 sets of clothes in the suitcase, which just corresponds to the 6 people participating in the operation today.
However, when he was choosing clothes just now, he saw that there was a set of women's clothes in it!
In other words... whoever arrives last will have to wear women's clothes to rob Gringotts?
Thinking of this, Franklin's face suddenly showed an evil smile.
He didn't say anything, and stood there with Mike, smiling and waiting to see who would get the women's clothes in the end.
The Weasley brothers on the other side didn't care when they saw that Franklin didn't plan to talk to them more. They also stepped forward and started to choose clothes according to Mike's instructions.
In fact, they didn't care about wearing such clothes. After all, they didn't know the stories behind these clothes, so they didn't have any so-called shame.
But when they saw the clothes in the suitcase that were obviously women's clothes, they instantly understood Mike's sinister intentions.
In the end, the two of them chose the costumes of Deadpool and Spider-Man.
Victor came next. He made great contributions to the whole team in the past few days, so Mike didn't make things difficult for him. In order to help him get through the back door, he even prepared a set of clothes for him that only he could wear.
Iron Man armor.
Of course, it's just a showpiece.
But it seems that Victor is quite satisfied with this costume, and he also saw the women's costume in the suitcase. He looked at the people at the scene and found that Benjamin and Zhou Hong had not arrived. His face instantly showed an evil smile like Mike and others.
Finally, under the expectation of everyone, Benjamin and Zhou Hong finally arrived in the conference room on time.
As soon as they entered, they saw the "superheroes" standing in a row in the conference room, looking at them with weird eyes.
"Wow! Are you doing cosplay? Wait! Our combat uniforms are in the box? Well, let me see what you have prepared for me!"
Benjamin said and walked to the suitcase, looking a little expectant.
However, when he saw the contents of the suitcase, the expectant smile froze immediately.
There were only two costumes left in the suitcase, one was the Joker of DC, and the other was the Harley Quinn!
The kind with rainbow hair and twin ponytails!
"Snap!"
A crisp sound was heard, and Benjamin closed the suitcase at once, turned around and said to Mike with a smile:
"Mr. President, I think this mission is really dangerous. Why don't we let Zhou Hong go?"
Benjamin's tone was gentle and sincere, as if he really wanted Zhou Hong's best. But his constantly jumping eyebrows betrayed his inner restlessness at the moment.
Mike on the opposite side was about to refuse, but Zhou Hong, who was standing next to Benjamin, opened the box.
Then, his eyes lit up and a strange smile appeared on his face.
"Joker! I like clowns the most!"
As he spoke, Zhou Hong took advantage of Benjamin's unpreparedness and snatched Joker's purple suit.
"Hey! Wait!"
Benjamin wanted to reach out to grab it, but the agile Zhou Hong had already hidden behind Mike.
Seeing this, Benjamin looked at Mike with embarrassment and asked expectantly:
"Boss, is it okay not to wear it?"
Hearing this, the superheroes sitting in the meeting room looked at each other, with evil smiles on their faces, and said in unison:
"No!"
...
Half an hour later, with the "enthusiastic help" of Mike and others, Benjamin finally put on his outfit.
A short set of denim hot pants and a vest similar to a swimsuit bikini, paired with a white double-tail wig with rainbow-colored hair ends and oil paint on the face, a brand new "Harley Quinn" was born.
"It unexpectedly suits you, Benjamin."
"That's right!"
"I heard that there are only zero and countless times of women's clothing. It seems that Benjamin will embark on a road of no return from now on!"
...
Listening to everyone's comments on him, Benjamin now just wants to find a hole to jump into!
This is really too shameful!
Especially the hateful Mike, in order to ensure that the restoration of the cos is high enough, he shaved his leg hair!
That's leg hair!
A symbol of a man!
Touching his smooth thigh, Benjamin felt a nameless anger rising, and the wand in his other hand creaked when he squeezed it.
Mike, who was joking with Franklin and others on the other side, noticed this very keenly. Seeing that Benjamin might really be angry, he hurriedly said:
"Okay! Don't waste time! Gringotts has been open for a while, it's time for us to start the action!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone returned to their initial seriousness, and Benjamin, who was about to get angry, could only swallow his bitterness and couldn't say anything.
"Then, the next plan is clear to everyone, right?"
"Of course!"
"Good!" Mike nodded with satisfaction, put on the 'Ha Plant Monkey Mask' and shouted, "Action begins!"
After that, Mike and others quickly formed a circle with the portkey mug as the center, and then they looked at each other and stretched their hands to the mug at the same time.
"Crack!"
With a chaotic explosion, several people in strange costumes disappeared in the conference room.
At the same time, Zhou Hong, who had been dressed up as the Joker, smiled evilly and drank the potion in his hand.
With a sound of bone twisting that made people's teeth ache, 'Karkaroff' appeared in the conference room again.
"Zhou Hong!" Soraka called Zhou Hong who was walking towards the fireplace, "Bring Benjamin back to me safely!"
Zhou Hong paused after hearing this, and the smile on his face disappeared. He made a scissor hand gesture to Soraka behind him, and then disappeared in the green flames flashing in the fireplace.
...
In the hall of Gringotts, the goblin boiler was humming a little song while sorting out the account books at hand.
It was really very happy. Yesterday, it received a wanted criminal client and made a lot of money from that client through some small tricks.
Although if the whereabouts of that client were informed to the Ministry of Magic, it would also be able to get a bonus from the Ministry of Magic, and the amount would even be more than that given by the previous client.
But the boiler still chose to protect the guest.
The reason was not because of Gringotts's rule of not rejecting anyone, but because the guest was obviously not short of money. If he worked harder, he would definitely be able to extort more gold coins from him.
'Ah! How I wish that guest could come to Gringotts today! '
The boiler roared from the depths of his heart, and at this moment, a tall shadow covered his tiny body.
Knowing that another guest had come, the boiler sighed deeply, and then forced out a standardized smile and raised his head.
"Sir, what's the matter... Oh! Sir! You're here again!"
The boiler said in surprise, and the guest who appeared in front of it at this moment was Mr. Karkaroff from before.
However, Mr. Karkaroff at this moment was different from the sneaky one last time. At this moment, Karkaroff was holding his head high, with a smile on his face, looking domineering.
Boiler glanced at the wall again and saw the wanted portrait of Karkaroff was still there. He complained in his heart:
"Are all wanted criminals so arrogant these days?"
On the surface, Boiler behaved very respectfully. He bent his waist and asked with a flattering smile:
"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Oh, you look familiar. I remember it was you who helped me open an account last time? You also cheated me out of a large sum of gold galleons." Before Boiler could reply, Karkaroff continued, "Forget it, it doesn't matter. I'm here to withdraw money today. Let someone take me to the vault."
As he spoke, Karkaroff put the key and wand of the vault on the counter and asked Boiler to verify his identity.
"Sir, how about I take you down this time?" After verifying the identity, Boiler handed over the key and wand and said, "You know, my driving skills are the best in the whole Gringotts!" As
soon as he finished speaking, Boiler found that the old man opposite was looking at him with a very strange look, as if he was very surprised by his words.
"Emm, then... you lead the way."
Hearing this, Boiler's face immediately showed an ecstatic look. There was no doubt that the guest in front of him had not escaped the Ministry of Magic's wanted list. So when he got to the underground vault, he could blackmail him!
Thinking of this, he put down the account book in his hand and led Mike into the underground vault.
In silence, one man and one goblin arrived at the vault very smoothly and opened the door.
Boiler's eyes flashed with greed. He desperately looked into the vault, intending to take a good look at the vault of this guy in front of him, so that it would be convenient to make an offer later.
However, after just one look, Boiler was stunned.
There were no gold galleons in Mr. Karkaroff's vault, but only five wizards in strange costumes holding wands.
"Ah, you're finally here. We're almost bored to death."
A monster covered in green said so.
But it was answered by a strange, crazy voice, and the source of the voice was actually behind him!
"Sorry, sorry! The roller coaster was so fun, so I asked this guy to take me around for two more rounds." As
soon as the voice fell, Boiler felt a cold hand falling on his face.
Turning his head with difficulty, Boiler saw the owner of the hand!
It was a scary clown wearing a purple suit, with heavy makeup on his face and cracked corners of his mouth all the way to his ears!
Instinctively, Boiler wanted to scream, but the next moment, as the clown slowly covered his eyes with his hands, Boiler found that he couldn't control his body at all!
