Chapter 1253: The Treasury of the Bank!


    ?


    Ace wasn''t surprised by the furious voice. After all, he had just switched ces with the other part and even taken his storage ring, though he didn''t know if he noticed it or not.


    Nheless, Ace decided to do so after careful consideration and calctions. The main reason for his blunt exposure was the Master Lock!


    The thing about the master lock was that it could only be opened with the master key. From his observation and assumption, Ace knew this guy guarding this ce clearly had the master key or an alternative key on him, which allowed him to open this sealed door locked with the master lock.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    So, Ace took his storage ring and the master key. Now, if someone else doesn''t have the key to open this sealed door, all this person can do is destroy this door locked with a master key, which should be extremely difficult.


    This would give Ace ample time to do his thing even if he was exposed, and he really didn''t waste any time as he quickly approached the hidden, sealed door leading to the treasury!


    He ced his hand on the hidden door, which was actually hidden below the floor in the center of this hall. Instantly, the system''s voice rang in his mind, and his lips curled up.


    =====


    [Universal Key has detected Ascension Grade-7 Spiritual Law Master Lock with three terminal locks!]


    -Unlocking Cost of a terminal lock (1,2,3): 10,000,000 TP


    -Unlocking Cost of the entire Master Lock: 25,000,000 TP


    -Continue/Later


    =====


    Ace was astounded, as this was his first time seeing these kinds of choices. He instantly guessed that these three terminal locks should be divided between the sealed door, this hidden door, and the treasury lock.


    "This master lock is reallyplex. So, if I chose to lock the entire master lock, then that sealed door might also be unlocked, right?" Ace asked the system.


    "[Yes. The first terminal lock represents that door, and it has its own alternative key.]"


    After hearing the system''s affirmation, Ace didn''t question anymore and directly ordered opening the terminal locks no. 2 and 3!


    ======


    [Universal Key has been used on Ascension Grade-7 Spiritual Law Master Lock''s terminal locks no.2 and no.3!]


    [Ascension Grade-7 Spiritual Law Master Lock''s terminal locks no.2 and 3 have been unlocking!]


    [NOTE: Without opening the entire master lock, the lock will not be reset!]


    [Thief Point(s): 278,010,800]


    The very next moment, a powerful ng sound rang in the chamber, and the floor suddenly started to shift as multiple cogwheels spun. The lock mechanism whirred and clicked, and under Ace''s shining eyes, a massive section of the floor slid open, revealing an underground stairway!


    Ace''s eyes narrowed as he studied theplex mechanism.


    ''Pity I don''t have enough power to dismantle this master lock, or I can take all the parts used in it and study it...'' Ace felt slightly helpless, but he didn''t waste timementing, as he knew his time was limited. He quickly turned into a streak of dark light and descended to the final level!


    The air was colder here, and the pressure was more intense-an indication of the powerful formations protecting the treasures below. Ace continued down the stairs, his eyes gleaming excitedly as he descended into the depths.


    The final level was a vast underground vault, illuminated by blue mes suspended in midair, casting an ethereal glow over the stone walls.


    When he reached this ce, his heart raced. Rows upon rows of heavily protected safes and treasure chambers lined the vast hall, each marked with intricate runes and formations designed to seal away the bank''s most prized assets. But Ace''s eyes were locked onto the massive circr chamber at the center of the room.


    "There it is..." he murmured, feeling the anticipation build.


    "The terminal lock of the master lock!'' Ace instantly knew what this was because the heavy metal door waspletely opened!


    The circr chamber should''ve been enclosed by thisrge metal door with multiple rotating rings engraved with celestial patterns and an array of gemstone locks, each requiring a unique input to deactivate.


    This was the bank''s ultimate defense-the final obstacle protecting their vast reserves of spirit coins and treasures!


    However, Ace wasn''t hurried towards the circr chamber and his eyes shifted on the locked safes and treasure chambers and without hesitating, Ace activated hiswless darkness and started to plunder the whole safes and sent them to his thief''s space! Ace decided to open them once he was safe!


    As for those treasury chambers, although they were also locked, they weren''t protected with master locks and with his darkness veil, he quickly opened them all and stowed away everything inside.


    They were filled with upper grade spirit stones, soul crystals, rare materials, and even high- grade spirit weapons and alchemy treasures!


    This kind of wealth could make anyone eyes green with greed and now all of it were being plundered by Ace!


    Ace knew he had again underestimated the bank''s wealth-and this was just one of its many branches!


    But what Ace didn''t know was that the bank branches turned in all the umted treasures every 10 years to their headquarters when an envoy from the headquarters personally came to


    collect them.


    This bank branch hasn''t turned in their wealth, and there were still around three years left before the envoy from the bank arrived to take the umted wealth back, or this ce would''ve been empty, and he would only get spirit coins and spirit stones/crystals.


    After clearing all the 21 chambers and taking 50 safes, Ace grinned ear to ear as he finally turned to the chamber in the center and approached it!


    When he entered this chamber, a dense spirit Qi, washed over his body, and he was astounded because this chamber was 500 cubic meters in size, which was a hundred timesrger than it appeared from the outside!


    Furthermore, there seemed to be a unique array here that kept all the spirit Qi inside and prevented it from leaking despite the opened door.


    ''Is this created with spacew?'' Ace wondered as his eyes instantly locked on the treasures arranged in this vast vault.


    There were mountains of spirit coins, spirit stones, and spirit soul crystals, and they weren''t low-grade ones because each of those coins, stones, and crystals was tier-6/grade-6, the highest currency that Ace had ever seen!


    Lastly, rows of brocade boxes, chests, and grade-6 weapons were protected by a formation


    disy!


    ''What a haul!'' Ace cheered in excitement. He wasn''t polite at all and started taking them after disrupting the formations!


    After a few minutes, Ace''s forehead was beaded with sweat, but looking at the clean treasury, Ace nodded in satisfaction.


    Just as he emptied the entire treasure vault, his thief symbol startled to surface, and Ace''s


    grin widened.


    ''Now, what should I write, and how can I ensure the bank won''t hide this from the outside world? Oh,


    I got a good


    idea!''
