Chapter 1418
Jeffrey nodded. "Let them search harder. Whoever finds it will be rewarded
handsomely."
Joe chimed in, "Sir, you've been planning for this day for so long. A few more
hours of waiting won't matter. I'll go supervise their work."
"Go ahead," Jeffrey agreed.
Juan wasn't surprised by their conversation. He had long suspected that Joe was
Jeffrey's man.
He could even guess that his memories from his past life were a result of Jeffrey's
manipulation through Joe. It was probably some kind of hypnosis.
Juan glanced at Jordan. Their eyes met briefly, and they understood each other's
intention.
Andrew spoke up, "I remember a place."
"What place?" Jeffrey jerked up his head.
"I'm not sure if it's the right place."
"Tell me. I'll decide."
"There's a second basement level. When I was a kid, I wanted to go down there,
but my parents and brother never let me. It's like a forbidden area. Maybe the
treasure is hidden there?"
Jeffrey thought for a moment. "Let's go check it out."
Joe quickly stepped forward. "Sir, let me go first in case it's a trap."
"I've waited too long for this day. I don't want to waste any more time," Jeffrey
said, standing up.
He then led Juan and Andrew to leave.
As soon as they entered the
elevator, an alarm went off. Jeffrey
quickly pulled out a gun and shot the
security camera inside the elevator.
The alarm stopped.
Andrew used his fingerprint to
unlock the elevator, and they
descended to the second basement
level. As the doors opened, a musty
smell hit them. The lighting was dim,
and the concrete floor made the
place feel cold and eerie.
"This must have been a spy station from the last century," Jeffrey remarked.
It was probably long abandoned.
Joe and a few other henchmen joined them. Jeffrey ordered, "Search this place.
See if you can find the treasure."
"Yes, sir." Joe quickly directed the men to search the area.
Juan's gaze fell on a row of cabinets ahead. He quickly looked away and said to
Jeffrey, "I'll take a look around too."
"Go ahead." Jeffrey nodded.
The second basement level was vast, with no end in sight in either direction.
Juan walked along the wall until he
reached a blank section. He stopped
and tapped the wall lightly. It
sounded hollow. He tapped another
section, which sounded solid.
"This wall is suspicious," he said.
Jeffrey quickly walked over. "Let me see."
