Chapter 998: Chapter 415: Direct Confrontation (5-in-1) (Part 3)

“Mr. Su Ming, the treasure vault is just ahead.”

“Okay.”

Su Ming nodded.

At this moment, Rhein swallowed and said.

“Boss, how do we get across? This layout looks like a trap.”

“Yeah, what if we trigger a mechanism?”

Ankaga and others spoke nervously.

Su Ming gazed at the scene ahead, his brows tightly knitted.

At this moment, Hai Lan spoke.

“Mr. Su Ming, don’t worry, we got here using the key, the mechanisms should be off, my husband wouldn’t harm me.”

“Alright, we’ll fly over!”

Su Ming took a deep breath and gave the order, having come this far, retreating was not an option.

“Yes!”

Rhein and others responded solemnly.

Su Ming then controlled the Iron Guard to lead them flying across, and Rhein and others quickly followed.

They flew very slowly, constantly turning their heads to carefully observe the surroundings, afraid of triggering any mechanism.

They ended up successfully landing on the other side.

“Wow, it’s really fine.”

“We’ve finally reached the treasure vault.”

“What do you think is inside?”

“No idea, Boss, hurry and open it.”

Zhang Yi and others said excitedly.

Su Ming didn’t waste words, directly opened the cockpit and floated down again.

The treasure vault’s door was composed of two silver metal doors, with a recess on the right metal door.

Su Ming took the key and embedded it.

Ka!

The sealed metal door began to open inward automatically.

Su Ming and others watched the slowly opening door with great anticipation.

However, when the door fully opened.

Su Ming and others’ smiles froze instantly, seeing the vast treasure vault inside in disarray, with boxes strewn around and Black Dust everywhere, as if it had been looted.

“This….”

Rhein and others exclaimed in shock.

Lady Hai Lan was also dumbfounded at that moment.

“Let’s go in and take a look!”

Su Ming walked directly into the treasure vault.

Rhein and others hurriedly controlled their mecha to follow, looking at the chaos in the treasure vault, everyone’s heart sinking, speaking in disappointment.

“Boss, it seems like someone has looted this place? Are we too late.”

“Impossible, the mechanisms here are well-preserved, and it’s so well hidden, surely no one has been here.”

Su Ming calmly analyzed.

“So where’s the stuff?”

Zhang Yi asked in confusion.

“I don’t know, but it’s definitely still here, let’s search!”

Su Ming said to Rhein and others.

“Yes!”

Rhein and others started searching everywhere.

Su Ming immediately activated the Symbiotic Armor scanning device, scanning the entire treasure vault, while directing Little Grey to search too.

Little Grey kept flying around inside the treasure vault.

More than an hour later.

Su Ming and others had turned over the entire treasure vault several times.

But apart from the scattered empty boxes, nothing was found, even Little Grey looked confused.

Su Ming’s brows furrowed tightly, deeply puzzled and perplexed, where on earth was the stuff hidden? Even Little Grey couldn’t find it.

“Boss, there’s absolutely nothing, could this just be a scam?”

Rhein and others said in disappointment.

“Impossible.”

Su Ming responded firmly.

If it were a scam, it couldn’t be done so meticulously, it’s hard to fake what’s lying in the outer hall, especially with Black Dust wrapped on the stone walls, the details are full.

“Boss, we’re not saying Queen Hai Lan tricked us, we mean it might be a fake treasure made by Prince Amis, designed to deceive people.”

Zhang Yi hesitantly said.

After hearing Zhang Yi’s words, Su Ming fell silent.

Though his intuition told him there was treasure here, Zhang Yi’s analysis wasn’t completely unreasonable.

The atmosphere at the scene became very heavy, nobody knew what to say.

“Sorry, I didn’t expect things to turn out this way.”

At this moment, Lady Hai Lan bit her lip, apologizing to Su Ming.

Although she sincerely believed her husband wouldn’t deceive her, the reality was laid bare, forcing her to face facts.

And if the treasure was fake, it meant she had set up Su Ming.

“Lady Hai Lan, you don’t have to apologize…. I know where the stuff is now.”

Su Ming had a sudden flash of inspiration and broke into a radiant smile.

“Huh, where is it?”

Everyone looked at Su Ming in shock and asked.

“Follow me!”

Su Ming headed straight out.

Rhein and others quickly followed.

Soon everyone arrived outside the treasure vault, Rhein and others looked around, speaking in confusion.

“Can’t see anything? There’s nothing here!”

“The stuff is in the Black Dust on both sides of the sand sea.”

Su Ming gazed at the Black Dust on both sides of the path, smiling as he spoke.

As soon as these words came out, Rhein and others exclaimed in surprise.

“Ah! Boss, are you sure?”

“Sure, didn’t you notice there’s some Black Dust inside on the ground? And if it wasn’t hidden in Black Dust, how could it have possibly deceived Little Grey?”

Su Ming affirmed confidently.

“Makes sense, what do we do now?”

Rhein and others asked excitedly, hope rekindled.

“Rhein, go bring the equipment over, and pump all this Black Dust into the treasure vault.”

Su Ming instructed Rhein and the others.

“Okay!”

Rhein and the others hurriedly left.

Su Ming stood there quietly waiting.

Soon, Rhein and the others brought the equipment, installed it, and connected the pipes inside the treasure vault.

“Boss, it’s ready!”

Rhein and others shouted excitedly.

“Start pumping.”
