Before 5 o'clock in the morning, a row of bulletproof vehicles arrived in the warehouse area.
She didn't step out of the car until she received a confirmation call from Atty. Lee's team.
Seeing her opening the car, the security team sent by the bank, as well as the professionally-trained guards hired by the Law Firm, looked at her with amazement.
The girl walking towards them is as beautiful as a fairy. She looks young and immature, with fair and tender skin and stunning face.
What attracts them the most is her dominating and confident temperament. A girl who looks like she just turned 18, has a cold and indifferent gaze, that doesn't match her age.
Although she is young, no one doubts her sense of power and status. They respectfully greet her, and methodologically moved the goods into the warehouse.
It's not until they're done with the transfer procedure that they've come to their senses.
Seeing no one guarding the warehouse, and the client alone is standing at the door, the captain was about to offer to help her secure her fortune, but she held her hand up in a 'stop' motion.
"Thank you for your concern, but don't worry, I already have a separate arrangement" she said
"Are they here yet? It's a big sum of Gold, Ms. Imperial. Are they trustworthy?" Atty. Lee expressed his concern.
"They've been here since last night. You know who I am, Atty. I have a lot of people under me" she bluffed without blinking.
Seems like the old Mr. Lee came back to his senses. Yes. What kind of person, what kind of business she has, he of all people present, knows.
He looked around, not detecting presence of anyone. Sure enough, the skills are topnotch. He nodded and offered a hand shake.
"Thank you for trusting our company, Ms. Imperial. Please call us anytime if you need assistance. We'll go ahead" he respectfully bid a farewell.
Accepting the hand shake, she moved closer to the Atty. and whispered. Then the convoy drove away one by one.
It was not until atty Lee arrived at the underground parking lot of the company, that he opened the compartment.
His eyes shrank upon seeing the content of the compartment. He also searched the back of the car, and saw ten large garbage bags hidden under, undoubtedly full of cash.
A conspicuous red envelope was placed at the top part of the cash.
Thank you for protecting my inheritance, until now. 1 billion here, I entrust to you. Buy supplies and hide firearms. They'll be very useful after this year.
Remember. Hide everything.
Stay low-key..
A simple and short letter, but his heart trembled violently. He won't doubt the meaning of the letter.
Knowing the identity and status of the Imperial family, as well as their connections. They must have heard something.
And with so much money involved, no one will joke about the seriousness of the matter.
He closed the compartment and decisively went back home to make arrangements.
He also needs to call his clan.

.
When she's sure everything's gone, she entered the warehouse and locked the door. Seeing more than half a million gold bricks filling the whole warehouse, she immediately wave them to space.
After collecting her inheritance, she finally heaved a sigh of relief. She feel much secure.
She's also glad to dispose the cash money she stole from the headquarters and Solomon's house. Knowing the 'Lee' clan, they'll surely take her words seriously.
It's up to them to believe or not, but she hope they'll do. Having a well-known clan backing in the last days, 1 billion bribe is cheap.
I hope to see a good result, but if not... whatever. She just stole those cash anyway!
She went out of the warehouse and started the car. It's time to collect the breakfast orders!
In 6 hours, she drove her SUV, around the capital to collect food and drinks. She needs to empty all her cards and credit cards today.
When she saw familiar shops, she'll go down and buy. When she's hungry, she'll get food from space and eat, then buy again. Buy everything she sees, she'll never have another chance to visit these restaurants in the future.
Today, she managed to secure 5,000 sets of food, 500 cups of drinks and 1,500 snacks.
At 1 o'clock, she parked her car in the hotel and walked in the lobby. She's still thinking what else to do, when she felt hot gaze on her.
She alertly looked around, but couldn't find anyone suspicious. This was the second time. She cautiously entered her room, securiting the lock.
Who on earth was that? My mental power couldn't even detect his presence.
She instantly felt insecure. She only need to finish one more thing, and she'll fly out of here. It's not safe. Someone powerful is obviously lurking around, and that person seems to notice her since yesterday.
Not wanting any unpredictable element to ruin her plans, she decided to stay inside the room honestly.
While taking a bath, her phone rang. And instead of ignoring it, she answered it this time.
"Anna.." she answered. A sweet voice spoke on the other side of the phone.
"Athena. Where have you been? We've been worried sick. You're not answering the call, no one's answering in the house! What's going on?" the person sounded aggrieved and coquetish.
She sounded sweet like before, but gone was her calm and elegant pretence. She sounded agitated and hurried.
"I was confined in a hospital. I just got permission to leave today. I left the phone at home" she said. Acting ignorant.
"Oh gosh. Are you okay now?" Anna heaved a sigh of relief. Based on Athena's reaction, seems like she doesn't know about the scandal and arrest of her family.
She can't back down now. The business was confiscated and authority is investigating. Their house was ransacked last night. Not a single valuable was left.
Their reputation plummeted to negative. Their bank accounts and company properties were frozen. Her scandalous videos all over the country.
She's almost at her limit. Her father instructed her to trick Athena tonight. Sell her body to the perverted bosses and hide a recording.
She'll then threathen Athena to transfer all her inheritance, and completely sell her to group of rich uncles who has special hobbies.
Her parents estimated that Athena's inheritance is twice richer than their whole family's wealth.
She hated her to the core. Having rich parents, overly beautiful face and genius mind.
Fortunately, Athena is too stupid and naive. She long wanted to ruin her, and tonight, everything she has will be her's.
"I'm fine now. Why'd you call?"
"Oh. Do you remember the Charity party? It's tonight. You're going, right? You promised me" she said, sounding pitiful and aggrieved.
"Well. I forgot. I might not make it, I don't have a gown" Athena answered sounding sad, but her face actually contoured with mocking sarcasm.
"No!" Anna's voice a bit hysterical. "I will send you a gown" she replied a little bit reluctant.
"You're really so nice, sister. Okay, I'll wait for it. I know you have an 'expensive' taste. Estella's gown should be fine. Got to go. Bye" Athena, after saying what she wants, hang up the call.
"Ahhhhhh...." on the other side, seeing the phone call cut off, Anna angrily threw the phone on the bed. She doesn't know why, but she felt like she's being mocked and tricked.
After calming herself, she opened the phone again , and searched the brand Athena likes to wear. She only has few hundred thousands of dollars in her anonymous bank account.
Seeing the prices of the gowns on the page, her heart feels heavy.
Yesterday, she won't bat an eye in buying hundreds of thousands worth of gown, but now. Seeing the amount of the card, she's unwilling.
After weighing the pro's and con's, she clicked check out. At this moment, after buying two sets of gowns, a pair of shoes and a little purse, her bank account, emptied.
Her heart feels painful. She can't even buy herself a set of jewelry!
The phone rang. After seeing the caller, her depressed mood brightens instantly. She got a sinister smile on her face as she answers.
"Mr. Joe..."
