Chapter 1616: Chapter 1595: Too Exciting Too exciting; it was so thrilling that Gao Yang’s lips started to tremble. “Buddy, man, I’ve been looking for that gun for years. A friend of mine has been after it for decades. Can you please tell me no more risky adventures, no more thrills! If you want excitement, fine, open the safe, give me what I want, and then go ahead with your thrill ride, OK?” Gao Yang was furious because Antonio’s safe-cracking could be done in a snap, but the problem was that it was all just his assumption. If there’s a mistake, and the chances are high, it would be all over. Antonio could see that Gao Yang was angry, so he shrugged and said, “Alright, no more thrill rides, but buddy, you have to understand, my confidence in doing this is based on my judgment. And what do you think my job is? I tell you, every lock I open is based on my judgment. This lock is like that; the next lock will be the same. Every time I unlock, it’s an adventure because the code I enter might be wrong. So, whether it looks easy for you to open a lock or me struggling to unlock it for a while, it’s essentially the same, understand?” After he finished, Antonio smiled and said, “Alright, now’s the exciting moment; open it and see what we’ve got.” Antonio opened the safe in one pull, revealing a dozen transparent glass cases, each with a watch inside. Of course, they were world-famous watches, the most expensive kinds. Antonio immediately gasped in admiration, snapped his fingers, and smiled: “Look at this, men’s jewelry, toys for the wealthy to show their status, all luxury watches. Check this out, a Patek Philippe, priced at 2.2 million Swiss Francs, tsk tsk, really wealthy. All luxury watches, this Patek Philippe, 240,000 US dollars, wow, Vacheron Constantin, 400,000 US dollars, so great, a total of nine watches, I roughly estimate their combined value exceeds five million dollars, you guys hit the jackpot!” After a few exclamations, Antonio pointed at the watches, curious, and said, “Where are your bags, why aren’t you packing them up?” Gao Yang shrugged and said, “We didn’t come for these watches.” Taylor said sternly, “We’re not thieves.” Antonio chuckled and said, “Suit yourselves, but I want to remind you, if you change your mind, don’t forget to take the boxes they come in. These watches, you know, if not worn for a long time will stop ticking. So the company that made this safe introduced matching automatic watch winders, very sophisticated craftsmanship, very expensive, each box valued at twenty thousand US dollars. Alright, I’m off to crack the next safe.” Gao Yang was astonished: “You don’t want these watches? If you want them, take them.” Antonio bitterly smiled, “I want them, very much. Whether to sell or collect, but the problem is, these watches are all numbered. If I take them, I won’t resist selling them or flaunting them, and that could cause problems. Honestly, buddy, I think I’m taking money to enjoy, not to be hunted down, so I won’t touch things that might expose me.” Finished speaking, Antonio shook his head and said to Gao Yang, “I’ll go open the next one. I don’t like being disturbed while I work, so don’t follow me, let me keep it quiet.” Antonio left, leaving Gao Yang and Taylor behind. Taylor looked at the watches in the safe, swallowed hard, and whispered, “We’re mercenaries, not thieves. We just want that gun, so we won’t take these things, right?” Gao Yang nodded and whispered, “Yes, we won’t take them.” Taylor also nodded, then sighed softly, “Alright, we won’t take them! But, I just think it’s a bit of a shame.” Gao Yang lightly coughed twice, scratched his head, and whispered, “Actually, when we decided to come for that gun, we were already thieves. Taking more things still makes us thieves.” Taylor whispered, “That’s true, since we’re already thieves, not taking them doesn’t make sense.” Gao Yang whispered, “Moreover, if we only take that one gun, it completely exposes our intent. It’s obvious we came for that gun. If we take everything from the opened safe, we can conceal our true purpose, right?” Taylor sighed, gently patted Gao Yang’s shoulder, and whispered, “Boss, do you know what I admire most about you?” “It’s that no matter what you do, you can always find a reasonable excuse. It seems like there’s no other way but to do it, making people feel very comfortable, not so guilty. F**k! You should’ve said so earlier! It saved me from a long psychological struggle. So, should we take them?” Gao Yang awkwardly twisted his neck and whispered, “Since we’re thieves anyway, take them!” Taylor immediately pulled a large bag out of his backpack and began packing the watch boxes along with the watches into the bag. As for Gao Yang, he already grabbed two boxes and was waiting for Taylor to open the bag. They cleared out the safe, Taylor exhaled a long breath, and whispered, “Feels so good, though I feel a bit guilty.” Gao Yang whispered, “That’s because you’re not used to being a thief yet.” Taylor awkwardly wiped his mouth, then whispered, “But it still feels so good, though it feels weird.” Gao Yang uneasily twisted his shoulders and neck and whispered, “F**k, being a thief is addicting! I can’t wait to see what’s in the other safe now.” Taylor whispered, “Me too, this feeling is amazing, hmm, a lot of guilt, but genuinely exciting, I’m trembling with anticipation now.” The two of them involuntarily looked towards Antonio, remembering his words, so they didn’t dare disturb him and stretched their necks, watching as Antonio brought out something like a computer. This text is hosted at novelFɪre.net Antonio was deciphering the next safe’s code. Why wasn’t the other safe’s code the customer’s birthday? Simple, because it was the lady owner’s safe. This time it was slower. Ten minutes passed, and Antonio still made no progress. Then Gao Yang heard Karima whisper on the walkie-talkie, “Hey, can you hear me? Everything’s normal outside. Uh, I just wanted to see if everything’s going well inside?” Gao Yang whispered, “It’s going well, cracking the second safe now, unexpected gains, uh, very thrilling.” Karima happily said, “That’s good. Uh, if it’s convenient, if I can, I’d like to come in and join you. Can I? Sorry, I’m really, I’m not scared, but really excited right now.” Gao Yang whispered, “Then come on over, we’ll give you some jewelry later if you don’t mind it’s stolen.” (To be continued.
