"It's open!"
Hunter's hand holding the safe handle couldn't help but tremble with excitement.
Even though he was a transmigrator and had even obtained a system golden finger in this life...
In his previous life, Hunter was just an ordinary office worker and a movie buff.
The largest sum of money he had earned across two lives was just two days ago when he helped Dominic safely transport a batch of stolen goods to Boston.
Dominic had given him a reward of six hundred thousand us dollars.
Hunter knew that if he used those six hundred thousand us dollars well, his strength would surely increase rapidly.
After all, it had been almost three months since he obtained the proficiency system.
Hunter had long since discovered that gaining experience points for many skills not only required a lot of his time...
But also required many materials!
Furthermore, if Hunter wanted to quickly increase his skill levels...
Hiring experts and masters for one-on-one guidance was also the best shortcut.
And all of this required money!
That's why Hunter had taken the risk before.
Before the international thief Charlie and his crew could retaliate against Steve, he had taken the lead and stolen two safes from Steve that were suspected to contain nearly a ton of gold bars.
And now, it was time for Hunter to reap the harvest.
At this thought, he could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart.
Immediately, Hunter took a deep breath.
Then, with a sudden burst of strength in the hand holding the safe handle...
Instantly, the safe door, weighing over a hundred pounds, was pulled open by Hunter.
In an instant, a brilliant, dazzling golden light made him squint his eyes.
"Gold bars..."
"So many gold bars..."
"They're all gold bars..."
His gaze quickly swept over the items inside the safe.
In an instant, Hunter's breathing became heavy.
Across two lives, this was the first time he had seen so many 'little cuties.'
Those bright yellow gold bars were truly enough to make one's head spin.
Hunter's eyes turned red, and his face was flushed with excitement.
He couldn't help but reach out with both hands, picking up a gold bar in each.
The heavy feeling made Hunter feel exceptionally satisfied.
"This amount definitely exceeds ten kilograms."
Noticing something unusual about the gold bars, Hunter couldn't help but look at the one in his hand.
He saw that on one side of the gold bar, a highly skilled master engraver had actually drawn a sexy and charming parisian dancer.
Being engraved on the gold bar clearly added a lot of charm to that parisian dancer.
Calling it a work of art wouldn't be an exaggeration at all.
However, Hunter's gaze only lingered on the parisian dancer pattern for a moment.
He unhesitatingly flipped the gold bar over to look at the other side.
On it, a standard line was stamped.
"400oz.t!"
"It's actually a 400-ounce standard gold bar!"
Ounce is a unit of measurement in Europe and America, serving as both a unit of weight and capacity.
When used as a unit of weight for precious metals, one US ounce is approximately equal to 31.1035 grams.
A 400-ounce gold bar is a standard in Europe and America; the standard dimensions for this type of gold bar are 185mm long and 7...
The weight is 400 ounces, which is approximately 12.441 kilograms.
The purity of this kind of gold bar is generally above 99.5%, making it a standard gold bar that can be circulated internationally.
Hunter had transmigrated to this world, and it was currently only the year 2003.
He had checked the gold prices a while ago.
Right now, the price for an ounce of gold was roughly around three hundred and ninety us dollars.
In other words, just one of these four-hundred-ounce standard gold bars...
Based purely on the gold price, was worth over one hundred and fifty thousand us dollars.
And such gold bars were clearly not just limited to one in the two safes Hunter had snatched from Steve.
Restraining his excitement, he immediately and hurriedly began picking up the gold bars one by one.
He transferred them from the safe Steve had purchased into his own much safer private space.
Hunter also took the opportunity to start counting how many gold bars were actually in this safe.
"1, 2, 3..."
"78, 79, 80..."
"182..."
"As expected, my previous guess was not wrong!"
"The total weight of the gold bars that Charlie and his crew stole from that Italian Mafia group back then definitely exceeded one ton."
Hunter had been wondering about this before!
He remembered that in the plot of 'The Italian Job', it was mentioned that the value of the gold bars Charlie and the others stole reached over thirty-seven million us dollars.
After transmigrating to this world, especially after successfully stealing Steve's two safes...
Although Hunter couldn't open the safes immediately, he had gone online earlier to understand the situation.
The current timeline was indeed 2003.
The current international gold price was about three hundred and ninety-some us dollars per ounce.
In other words, if Charlie and the others had really only stolen one ton of gold bars from the Italian Mafia...
Then its value would at most be twelve or thirteen million us dollars.
Previously, Hunter was curious if it was a plot hole or if he had remembered it wrong.
Looking at it now, there was no plot hole.
However, Hunter had indeed misremembered some information. ---Requesting Flowers--- Over a year ago in Venice, from the hands of that Italian Mafia group...
The total weight of the gold bars stolen by Charlie and his crew was definitely more than one ton.
Just from the 182 gold bars Hunter got from opening the first safe, their value exceeded twenty-eight million us dollars according to the gold price conversion.
And now, he still had another safe that hadn't been opened yet.
Instantly, Hunter's breathing became incredibly heavy.
Immediately, he quickly moved the now-empty worthington 1000 safe into his private space as well.
A single safe of this kind was worth around several hundred thousand us dollars.
Whether he repaired it later to sell on the black market...
Or kept it for his own use, both were good options.
Soon, the second worthington 1000 safe that Hunter had stolen from Steve was taken out of his private space... With his previous experience, this time it only took him seven or eight minutes to open the safe again.
Filled with anticipation, Hunter suppressed his excitement and quickly opened this safe.
The instant the safe swung open he froze, then grinned and started tallying the haul.
The second safe held far fewer gold bricks than the first.
Hunter counted quickly—only twenty-nine.
Add the 182 from the first safe and he had lifted 211 four-hundred-ounce bars from Steve.
At the current price of gold that stack alone was worth nearly thirty-three million us dollars.
What thrilled him even more was that the second safe didn't contain only those twenty-nine bricks.
Inside were banded stacks of franklin—hundred-us dollar bills.
Several bundles of five-hundred-euro notes.
Six luxury watches, a pouch of diamonds weighing more than two taels, a few property deeds, and some anonymous bearer securities.
Hunter's rough estimate put the total take from both safes at well over forty million us dollars.
He had, without exaggeration, walked off with almost everything Steve owned.
In that instant Hunter understood.
No wonder Steve lost his mind.
He pulled every string, had Slate Brief abducted, forced Charlie and the others out of hiding.
I'd cleaned out most of his fortune.
No wonder he went berserk!
