96 Precious Spoils (1/2)
The cart once again got back after a long process of biddings. Since the guy pushing the cart had been in and out of the room, the guards allowed his entry with no delay.
All of them failed to notice someone else going inside along with him. Max successfully got in, yet he never lost focus. The next one will be the trickiest.
Just like Little Dou described, the room was small, and there were barely any lights. On the other side was a door, a large steel door.
Two buffed guards were standing on sides of it. The guy had to stand still in the middle as they checked various areas of his body.
This showed that they paid substantial attention not to let any unexpected problems to occur. Too bad they were ordinary people in the end. Not one of them was able to see another person in the same room as them.
If Xiao Ming were to station the Awakened in this room, it might give Max a harder time to sneak in as he had to be extra cautious with his movements and breathing. But with only these people, Max only needed to stay silent, and he would be fine.
Finally, the thorough inspection was done. They fiddled with the locks then turned the giant wheel in the middle as the two guards pulled the one feet thick door together.
As the guy pushed his cart in, Max relaxedly followed behind him. Surprisingly, it was easy getting up to this point.
Max halted his steps as he froze with his mouth wide open. Slowly, his expression started to change. His eyes shined as a broad smile crept across his face.
'Hahaha! Little Dou do you see all this? We're rich! We really made it! Look at all of this!'
Little Dou sat on Max's head as they gazed at the fantastic scene before them. Different items were spread out on the tables.
Max became more excited when he saw the items that he had wanted to see. Pieces of jewelry that were appropriately arranged side by side, little bars of gold, and what seemed to be some rare metals and treasures.
There was enough space to fit more items in this space. It had shiny white and gold walls and floors that were smooth on his feet.
The items had tags on them and written in it was names and price of it. The items were separated in two, one side where Max saw the jewels and gold. The other side was where the antiques like vases, paintings, and sculptures were located. There were also other unidentified materials with them.
[Max! There! There! Look!]
Little Dou pulled Max's hair as she energetically pointed to the far distant area. Max turned to where Little Dou was looking.
It was quite far, but when Max saw it, he almost couldn't contain his voice. His eyes widened as his body shook in delight.
'Hahahaha! This! This is great!'
As they got closer, Max was able to see it more clearly. It was a humongous vault, more than ten feet in height but its width was many more times than that. It can be considered a small room.
This vault made Xiao Ming's look like a small locker. Steel coated its exterior and seemed to have different layers of metals stuck together.
Max saw how the door is. It was about two feet thick. Max could clearly see it now as the guy was in the process of pulling it open.
'So this is why they were strictly guarding this place? For a second, I thought Xiao Ming placed those guards outside for the auction items.'
'But now I know the real reason why. Xiao Ming probably valued this greatly. What a huge vault. Do banks have something bigger than this? How much money would be there?'
'Hmm. I guess that explains it. Xiao Ming only stationed guards on the entrance, thinking that no one can take this vault away.'
'At least, no normal human can.'

The man left it halfway opened to push his cart inside. He then unlocked the one side of the compartment on his cart to unload a large amount of cash that he had gotten from the auction.
Though everyone can pay digitally, most people would still prefer a cash transaction, having to save money from the percentage discount for using cash.
