The safe was made so that it could only be opened with a key. Without the key, the things inside the safe could possibly never see the light of day again. Of course, the bank wouldn’t just keep it for themselves, but no one knew how long the things behind the safe were kept, unidentified.
The attendant brought Jacob Lynch and his companions through several safes before arriving at a spacious hall.
“Honored guests, this is your safe.” The attendant said, and then left them.
In front of them was a safe the height of a human, with most of it inlaid with the wall behind it. It looked very durable.
“Bro, is this where you kept your things?” Janelle asked.
“Yeah.” He quietly admitted as he did not tell his family about the situation with the Meteorites. He nodded and took out the key he had taken from the Meteorites’ headquarters. There was nothing special about the key. It looked like a normal key.
Jacob found the keyhole on the safe and gently inserted the key. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“It’s opening! Bro, what’s inside? Can it be gold?” Janelle exclaimed with delight as she watched the safe slowly open.
“I don’t know.” Jacob was not lying, but he knew it must be very valuable if Zachary Fest had bet five billion on it.
“It’s opening… Hmm? It looks like a book.” Janelle was disappointed. She had been busy imagining all the possibilities behind such a big safe, but it was just a book! As a high school student, she really did not want to see any more books in her life; she hated books! However, she had to keep her position as a model student, so she could only keep that despise in her heart.
“This is… the Secret Record of the War Deity!”
Jacob had felt deflated when he first saw the book, but after looking at the design of the book, his eyes started to focus.
The Secret Record of the War Deity; this was the start of my strength.
Jacob had gotten stronger after practicing the things in the record. It was because of that book that he broke out in fame in the Four Outer Districts. What he had now was all thanks to the Secret Record of the War Deity.
His heart soared when he realized he had found the book in Central Federation. He lifted the book but frowned. This book seemed different from the one he had practiced. Especially since there was a ‘Part Two’ printed in small font under the title. It gathered his attention.
“The Secret Records of the War Deity Part Two. There’s a part two to the records!”
He had felt as though his training had come to a choppy end, even after achieving all that was in the secret records. He had thought that he wasn’t practicing hard enough, but now seeing this book, he immediately understood that it wasn’t the case.
“Boss, this book…” Jerry couldn’t understand the value of the price, as Jacob stood silently.
“It’s so worth that five billion!”
It didn’t matter what was written in this book. Even if it was just a conclusion, it’s worth the five billion!
