Entering the city, according to the guidance of the navigation, Chen Peng drove to William Arcade Street.

In this well-preserved Second Empire-style complex, he made some effort to find the bank called Hofmouss.

The entrance to the bank is unassuming, sandwiched between the tall columnar buildings on either side, and from the outside it looks like an ordinary old-fashioned storefront, dark and dark, no one enters or leaves, and there is nothing special except for two security guards standing guard at the door.

Seeing Chen Peng coming, two security guards stretched out their hands to block the road, and only after checking a card that Chen Peng took out did they put down their hands and no longer block his entry.

Stepping on the floor of the bank, which was completely made of dark and shiny wooden planks, there was an empty hall, there was no counter for deposits and withdrawals of money like ordinary banks, only a place like an information desk, and a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties sat upright, with a solemn face, looking like a lobby manager or something.

"Hello, sir, how can I help you?" The middle-aged man stood up and took the initiative to stretch out his right hand.

Chen Peng took out the key and handed it to the other party: "I'll pick up the safe." ”

The middle-aged man took the key, looked at the sign on it, and then walked out of his position: "Okay, please follow me." With that, he was leading the way.

Chen Peng followed the other party inside, turned a few corners and arrived at an elevator, the middle-aged man first clicked the fingerprint lock, and then swept his eyes through the iris lock, and the elevator door opened.

Take the elevator down to the security floor located underground, and after a rigorous inspection procedure, confirm the identity of the owner of Chen Peng's safe, let him enter the vault, and then see that the walls inside are neatly arranged metal doors, up and down three floors.

In the middle of the vault is a round console with a jack on it, and after the middle-aged man inserted Chen Peng's key into it, he saw a metal door on the middle floor on the left side move lightly, revealing a small space behind, a bit like a small compartment for a bank ATM.

The middle-aged man turned to face Chen Peng and said, "Sir, you can only enter the internal safe room by yourself, and all our staff here are never allowed to enter." ”

Chen Peng nodded, indicating understanding.

The middle-aged man left, leaving this space completely to Chen Peng.

After he left, Chen Peng turned on the staircase climbing car placed on the side, came to the wall where the insurance room was located, adjusted the height of the stairs, and then walked up the stairs and entered the insurance room.

The safe was embedded in the wall opposite him, and the door parallel to the wall only had a plain keyhole, and there were no high-tech electronic locks, which looked very simple.

However, from the records left by Professor Norman, Chen Peng knew very well that this was just a façade, and if he tried to open it by ordinary means, he would only lock the safe room and notify the bank's security system, instantly turning it into an airtight cage, and then attracting a group of heavily armed security guards.

The hand pressed the keyhole, and recalled the opening method in his mind, and then the spiritual power went deep along the hole, and at the same time relied on the perception of mental power in his brain to draw it, and then manipulated the metal strips similar to building blocks inside the keyhole to piece together a specific pattern.

This was not difficult for him now, and it was done quickly, and he heard a few crisp clicks, and the safe opened.

There weren't many things in the safe, they were all documents, similar to the small boxes left by Professor Norman, and they were written in various languages. According to Professor Norman, this is also left by the people who inherited this position in the past generations, and the content is similar, which is a kind of written document that officially inherits the position, but it is only written down because of the language used at that time, and if Chen Peng passes it on to the next person in the future, he can also write it in Chinese if he wishes.

After casually looking at it and finding that there was nothing else, Chen Peng took out the inheritance document left by Professor Norman and put it in the safe, and closed the door again, so that the inheritance procedure was officially completed.

After completing all this, Chen Peng exited the vault and saw that there was already a person waiting outside, not the lobby manager who brought him in, but an old man with a white beard, wearing a black tuxedo, with a solemn face, looking very formal.

Seeing Chen Peng, the old man bowed slightly.

"Hello dear sir, Antonio of the Van Cmore family salutes you."

Although the old man's face was covered with traces of time and tried his best to remain calm, Chen Peng could sense the other party's suppressed excitement from the abnormal tremor of the nerves and blood vessels under his skin.

Glancing at the vault, Antonio lowered his head, his voice trembling a little: "The next matter will be at my service to you, this is our family's long-standing mission and responsibility. ”

"You're excited?" Chen Peng glanced at him and said lightly.

"Yes, this mission is the only goal that our Van Ketch Moore family is working for, my father has been waiting all his life and has not been able to wait, but I have finally waited for it." As he spoke, tears welled up in Antonio's eyes.

Chen Peng raised his eyebrows, isn't that almost a hundred years? But if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to understand, Professor Norman has lived for so long, and according to the time he has obtained this position, it will be at least a hundred years, and if he does not arrange an heir, he naturally does not need to come here, so it is normal for the father of the old man in front of him to wait all his life without waiting.

"This bank was founded one hundred and sixty-three years ago, which is also the time when the Van Ketcmore family was founded." Antonio touched the smooth wall beside him and said with emotion: "Of course, such an institution actually existed more than a thousand years ago, but it is necessary to change with time. Now if you have any questions, I can answer them for you. ”

Chen Peng looked around and asked, "What can you do for me?" ”

"Our task is to keep this legacy going, I will take care of all the inheritance matters for you, and we have a lot of channels in terms of money processing, no matter what the source of the funds we can turn into your legitimate funds. At the same time, when you start the inheritance process, in order to protect your security, all aspects of the original latent resources will be activated, you can get the information support of the world's top intelligence system, and you can also hire elite talents in all aspects through us at any time, including bodyguards, designers, lawyers, soldiers, etc., this period is five years, after which these resources will re-enter the incubation stage......"

Chen Peng nodded, this is similar to what he knows, the five-year concept is a bit similar to the concept of the novice protection period, and it is also to implement the purpose of protecting the overall security of the council, so as not to use resources unrestricted and cause the council to be exposed and caught by the outside world.

On the other hand, Antonio's family can also get a very big benefit in this five years, or the opportunity to make this family take off, which is equivalent to giving this family a reward for a long time. After all, spiritual belief alone cannot last long, and there must be substantial benefits, and the two complement each other is the way to last for a long time, and this organization will naturally not ignore this point if it can continue to this day.

"So how do we keep in touch? How did it do it in the past? Chen Peng asked.

"There are different approaches in different eras. In the earliest days, information was delivered through secret messages delivered by reliable personnel, and then after there were newspapers, information was transmitted in newspapers, and after there was telegrams, it was changed to contact through telegram ciphertext, and now the most recent way is to leave your information by entering a special website, and we will do what you ask. Antonio's mood had calmed down, and he patiently explained to him: "Of course, in order to ensure safety and privacy, it is better for you to choose an assistant to handle this aspect of affairs for you. ”

"Assistant?" Chen Peng's eyebrows furrowed.

"Yes, from ancient times to the present, the affairs we are involved in have become more and more complicated, so the assistant system was born to help you handle the affairs of the superiors, and you can directly appoint someone you trust to this position, but according to the hard rules, the person you choose must undergo two years of training." Antonio said thoughtfully.

"Two years?" Chen Peng frowned slightly, these resources can only be used for a total of five years, and it is unreasonable to spend two of them to train an assistant.

Antonio hurriedly added: "Don't get me wrong, it's not about you, but after the introduction of the assistant system, there were really a few very big problems, which led to the fact that this regulation had to be drawn up later, so as not to cause certain problems that jeopardized the organizational structure due to their personal competence or awareness." ”

Looking at Chen Peng's expression, he continued: "There is another way, your assistants can also be selected from a special list in the organization. The list is full of the best of the elites that the organization has invested in cultivating over a long period of time, and the background is absolutely innocent, and I can guarantee that everyone on the list will not have any problems. ”

"List? What's going on? ”

"The organization has a long history of working with the world's top universities, of course, using different guises, just as an independent sponsor and investing in the talent that is already making a name for itself in the school. Those talents grow and develop their careers, and they become the periphery of the organization. The best and safest of these talents will be put on a watch list, and after long-term observation and training, it will eventually be confirmed that people who are completely reliable and absolutely agree with the organization's philosophy will finally enter this list. You can rest assured that the people on the list will only have access to the periphery of the organization, and will not have any access to the core profile, and will only enter the inner circle if you are selected and activated by a superior like you, otherwise they will not be any different from those who are funded in this life. ”

"That's a big investment." Chen Peng's expression did not move, and he was very emotional about the council's handwriting.

"To be exact, it is very much, and more than 70 percent of the profits of all the subordinate institutions of the organization are invested in this area every year, leaving only the necessary maintenance and emergency reserve funds. I can assure you that the helper you choose from your list will be someone who will be with you for the rest of your life, even more faithful and reliable than your family. ”

"I hope it's as you say." Chen Peng smiled softly.

Although Chen Peng was able to confirm that he didn't have any lying by sensing the internal reaction of the old man in front of him, and everything was his own conviction, no matter how good he said, he had to see with his own eyes what kind of person the other party was to decide whether he was trustworthy or not.

After continuing to talk for a while, and after confirming some details, Chen Peng said goodbye to the old man and left the same old bank.

The next morning.

A Maserati GT crosses an empty forest road and stops in the clearing in front of the castle at the end of the road.

The car door opened, and a white calf stepped out first, and then a young girl walked out.

This girl is petite, wearing a pair of sunglasses that cover most of her face, the bridge of her nose that cannot be covered by sunglasses is straight, her lips are crystal clear, her long black hair hangs straight down, like a waterfall, wearing a royal blue suit, a black chiffon skirt, and a pair of printed shoes.

The girl looked left and right, and then looked at the castle for a few minutes, her mouth pursed, and the lines revealed seemed to be as entangled and hesitant as her mood at this time, and finally took a deep breath and walked straight to the gate of the castle.
