Stanfield, like the old Hunter, clearly didn't have much of an artistic bone in his body.
Therefore, in this underground shelter where he hid the black money he'd earned over the years, there were no oil paintings, antiques, or such things.
Seeing five alloy boxes of the same size and over a dozen large travel bags seemingly filled with things in a corner...
Hunter walked over quickly and easily opened one of the locked alloy boxes.
The moment the box opened, his eyes instantly lit up.
Inside that alloy box were various gold coins, ranging from antique gold coins to modern investment gold coins.
Hunter picked it up to gauge the weight; it was likely no less than a hundred kilograms.
Although he wasn't sure of the value of these gold coins, he estimated they wouldn't be worth less than a million us dollars.
He happily put it away and quickly opened the remaining alloy boxes one by one, sweeping them all up after a brief glance.
It wasn't that Hunter didn't know time was short, but he needed to confirm the contents first to decide what to take and what to leave.
Of the remaining four boxes, three were filled with small gold bars.
The gold bars weren't large, coming in sizes like one hundred, two hundred, and five hundred grams.
When necessary, these small gold bars were much easier to offload than the large gold bricks Hunter had stolen from Steve before.
Hunter weighed them; although the three boxes of gold bars had different weights, together they must be seven or eight hundred kilograms.
Their value was also close to ten million us dollars.
The last box had the fewest items; when Hunter opened it, he saw it was mostly various jewelry pieces set with diamonds and gemstones.
Among them were about twenty luxury watches, some new and some old, but most were at least seventy percent new.
Hunter had specifically looked into luxury watches after getting a few from Steve's safe a while ago.
So after a rough scan, he quickly had an idea of their value.
"A dozen of these watches are worth between tens of thousands and over a hundred thousand us dollars."
"There are only five worth more than two or three hundred thousand us dollars."
"And only one worth more than seven hundred thousand us dollars."
"The price of these watches alone is no less than three or four million us dollars."
After happily taking these boxes, he soon looked at those bulging large travel bags.
Stepping forward, Hunter picked up one of the travel bags directly.
The weight in his hand surprised him a little.
"Good heavens, the weight of this one travel bag must be fifty or sixty pounds."
Because he was truly curious about what was inside, he quickly unzipped it.
In the next moment, his eyes met stacks upon stacks of brand-new hundred-us dollar bills, packed densely.
Hunter was stunned, then quickly calculated in his head.
Soon, the smile on his face could no longer be hidden.
"I remember seeing on some variety show before that a new hundred-us dollar bill weighs about a gram or so."
"A million us dollars weighs roughly ten kilograms."
"If this travel bag is filled entirely with hundred-us dollar bills..."
"Even if old bills are heavier than new ones, I estimate there's at least two or three million us dollars in here."
*Hiss!*
Unable to help but suck in a breath of cold air, Hunter looked with glowing eyes at the pile of over a dozen bulging backpacks.
If these travel bags were all filled with hundred-us dollar bills...
...these bills alone would be no less than thirty or forty million us dollars.
This time, Hunter's solo break-in into Stanfield's villa had truly been a massive windfall!
Time was pressing, and he didn't have time to open and check every single travel bag.
He quickly put all the travel bags into his private space.
Only after putting away all the travel bags did Hunter notice...
...an old desk sitting next to where the bags had been.
The drawers of that desk were also locked.
But it was no match for Hunter; it only took him twenty or thirty seconds.
All three locked drawers of the desk were opened by him.
In the first locked drawer, there were several notebooks and a few optical discs.
Hunter picked up a notebook and roughly flipped through a dozen pages; they were all records by Stanfield of bribing certain Los Angeles council members, Drug Enforcement Bureau superiors, as well as drug trade and transaction information.
Although he wasn't sure of the information on the discs, he thought about it and decided to take them as well.
Later, he would mail these things to the FBI.
This would ensure that for a long time to come, the FBI wouldn't have the mind to keep an eye on a small fry like him.
And this time, Stanfield, whom he had offended so severely, would definitely meet a very ugly end.
That was enough!
In the second locked drawer, there were four thick waterproof kraft paper bags.
Hunter curiously opened one to look and found that inside were Bearer Bonds Stanfield had purchased through various channels.
Although he didn't know their total value, judging by the thickness, it probably wasn't a small amount.
This type of bearer bond is very popular in Europe and America, having emerged almost alongside the birth of the Western capitalist corporate system.
They are bonds where the issuing company or government does not register the owner's name on a roster.
The holder of such Bearer Bonds collects interest simply by presenting the coupons.
The advantage is that the investor's identity remains confidential; the disadvantage is that once an investor damages or loses the bond, it is difficult to prove their identity as the owner.
But because of their extreme anonymity!
In Europe and America, many wealthy people, super-rich, politicians, etc., use Bearer Bonds to hide their true assets or even accept bribes.
Hunter had previously obtained two or three million us dollars' worth of Bearer Bonds from Steve.
However, since returning to Los Angeles, he hadn't had the chance to dispose of them yet.
After all, compared to Bearer Bonds...
Hunter preferred to exchange those things for cash, gold, weapons, equipment, and supplies, and then store them in his private space.
Not only was it safer, but he could also access them at any time whenever needed.
After putting away the Bearer Bonds, he opened the last drawer.
To Hunter's surprise, there were very few things inside.
It only contained a few maps with quite a bit of information circled and written on them.
Hunter took a quick look; it seemed to be a treasure map belonging to Stanfield.
He gained some interest, so he also put it into his private space.
He planned to study it carefully later when he had the time.
After all, who didn't have dreams of treasure hunting and adventure when they were young?
Hunter was no exception!
In his previous life, he didn't have the ability to do so, but after transmigrating...
Now, relying on the proficiency system, Hunter's physical fitness had already reached more than three times that of an average adult male.
Along with that, he had also learned a great many skills.
It would be a real shame not to put them to good use.
After putting everything away, Hunter took another look at this underground shelter located beneath Stanfield's villa.
As far as the eye could see, there was almost nothing of value left.
He made a rough estimate; it had been about ten minutes since he triggered the alarm.
At that moment, Hunter delayed no longer.
Quickly doubling back, he nimbly climbed the stairs and soon returned to Stanfield's villa above.
He carefully slipped out, and after confirming no one was outside...
Hunter quickly went to the front door and skillfully used his Lockpicking tools to open the door of Stanfield's villa.
Immediately afterward, he dashed away at full speed.
He soon disappeared into the nearby streets!
A few minutes later, a police car with its siren wailing sped into Stanfield's home at over a hundred miles per hour.
Before long, an angry roar echoed from within the villa.
Los Angeles was about to welcome a crazy night...
