Chapter 271: Inheritance

Li Mochen also chuckled. He had just questioned Jeremy Burt's intelligence sources, and the latter directly retorted that he was useful, so this employment relationship still had its value.

"That's good. Then Jeremy, help me look into one more thing. About the Iron Thorn and Phantom Heart of the Dragon Witch Cult, where are they currently? Make it as fast as possible. I need to know their whereabouts before those stores of the Rising Sun Company open, even if it's just a rough guess."

—Regarding the whereabouts of Iron Thorn and the others, he mainly had to rely on his own Purple Star Astrology and Wish Spell. However, if he could gather more clues beforehand, it would save him a lot of merit power.

"OK!"

Jeremy Burt agreed readily: "Then I'll hang up, boss. If there's further news on these fronts, I'll notify you."

Li Mochen also put down his mobile phone and then stared out the window, lost in thought.

Roberta Yvonne, the Holy Blood Hunters and the Cadia Hunters, and the CIA—he always felt that the future he would have to face was bound to be bloody and stormy.

It wasn't until Li Mochen's Otto I armored off-road vehicle arrived in front the Swiss Union Bank branch that he reined in his thoughts.

However, at the Swiss Union Bank, Li Mochen only found that Li Chunchu had two secret accounts with a total of just over 200,000 gold shields.

He couldn't inherit them for now; the bank had to consult the other heir, Jennifer Wiltonstein, and then the siblings would decide on the distribution plan for this inheritance.

There were also three bearer accounts, which were simpler—as long as one knew the account name, transaction password, and account password.

These accounts had always been controlled by Li Tailai, but Li Tailai only knew the account names and transaction passwords, knowing nothing about the account passwords. So even though Li Mochen produced proof of his relationship with the account applicant, it was useless. He simply opened three new accounts here and left the old ones unattended.

—As for the transfer of funds from bearer accounts, this didn't count as inheritance. Bearer accounts were inherently anonymous, so they had no owner.

Afterward, Li Mochen went to the Swiss Banking Group, one street away. He didn't hold much hope, but after he completed the procedures for two bearer accounts there, the branch manager personally came over with his staff.

"Mr. Wiltonstein, we have reviewed the account information for Mr. Li Chunchu and found that your father had two secret accounts with us, totaling 700,000 gold shields. In addition, he left behind some other items."

With a nod from the manager, another bank employee placed a disc in front of Li Mochen: "Inside this is a safe deposit box key left by Mr. Li Chunchu, but it requires a special method to open. Mr. Li Chunchu applied for a special service with us; only the person who can open this alloy dial can obtain all the assets he stored in the safe deposit box. Additionally, our contract includes a clause to proactively inform you of this matter after three years."

Li Mochen's somewhat gloomy mood lifted slightly, and a hint of anticipation grew in his chest. For Li Chunchu to make such a fuss, there must be something truly valuable in that safe deposit box.

He immediately took the alloy dial in his hands and found it quite simple—he just needed to infuse his own magic power and source energy into it.

As Li Mochen input his magic source, the middle part of the alloy dial spun rapidly, gradually dividing into black and white.

"The Dual Element Mystic Transformation Art?"

A look of understanding appeared in Li Mochen's eyes. It seemed this dial could only be opened by him.

However, his strength was still slightly insufficient. Li Mochen had to use a secret technique from the Divine Thunder Sect to briefly boost his magic source by one level.

After that, a clicking sound came from inside the alloy dial, and the metal blades on the upper part unfolded outward, revealing a small space inside.

Inside were a golden key and a slip of paper.

On the paper was a strange string of numbers. Li Mochen quickly recognized it as a code that needed to be deciphered using the "Gospel," similar to the message Li Chunchu had left for him at the Rising Sun Company through Cadiren Jebsen.

As for the key, the branch manager glanced at it and immediately identified it: "This is the key to safe deposit box number thirty-seven. Mr. Wiltonstein, would you like to see it now?"

Of course, Li Mochen wanted to see it. Under the branch manager's guidance, he took the bank's internal elevator down to the seventh basement level of the building.

The Swiss Banking Group had purchased the top five floors and the basement levels (except the parking garage) of this building, creating an enormous underground vault between the fourth and eighth basements, containing 70,000 safe deposit boxes.

Safe deposit box number thirty-seven, being one of the earlier ones, was particularly special. It could hardly be called a safe deposit box; it was a miniature vault, occupying nearly twenty square meters. It not only had thick alloy walls as its shell but also an independent seventeenth-level magic energy defense array, ensuring that even if the main vault were breached, this box would remain intact.

Of course, its rent was also very expensive—1.5 million gold shields per year, since the independent seventeenth-level magic energy defense array alone consumed a large amount of magic stones annually.

Li Mochen stood in front of the safe deposit box. Only after all the bank staff had withdrawn did he insert the key and turn the combination lock. A moment later, with a click, the twenty-square-meter space fully opened before him.

As he stepped inside, Li Mochen was momentarily stunned.

In the right corner were stacked gold bricks, each apparently a standard one kilogram, totaling 560 pieces, with a market value of about 25 million gold shields. Next to them was a pile of cash, not much, only 2 million.

On the left were various magic energy materials. Li Mochen could sense from their spiritual energy that their grades were at least level fifteen or above, numbering about two hundred items. Among them was even the head of a twenty-second-level Iron-Winged Dragon.

Unfortunately, Li Mochen didn't know much about the market prices of various magic energy materials and couldn't accurately estimate their value.

Then there were weapons—only five sets, but all were 17A equipment. Among them, five suits of armor and two swords were particularly powerful, rated 17S.

After that, there was an alloy box placed in the center, along with a stack of documents on top.

Li Mochen walked over and flipped through them. The first thing he noticed was a certificate from the East lying on top. He glanced at it briefly, then sighed softly and tossed it into a corner. He wasn't sure if this item would be useful in the future, but it should be safe here.

Next were two letters left by Li Chunchu and his wife for their son. After reading them carefully, Li Mochen fell silent.
