Chapter 197 Overcoming Barriers?
"Sir, can you show me the bathroom?" One of the Fuller family's emissaries, who was carrying a long metal box similar to the ones his companions were carrying, asked the butler who was leading them.
Hearing this, the man in the black suit smiled and showed him the bathroom in the corridor they were in.
"The second door on the right." He said, not finding it strange when the man went into the bathroom with the metal box.
These boxes that Vicente's men were carrying must have contained various items that were precious to the Fuller family. It wasn't surprising that the Acolytes sent by the young Fuller had been careful with them, taking care of what was their responsibility all along.
The butler and the other men of the Fuller family stood outside the bathroom waiting for the man until he returned a minute later with the same box in his hands.
The butler then took them to the Baron's office, where the man was waiting for them.
...
Meanwhile, in the bathroom where one of Vice's men had just left...
A masked person who shouldn't have been there was standing in front of the toilet with a red pentagram spinning in front of his right hand.
Sensing all the metallic objects on the property, including the number of magicians and people there, it took Vicente only a minute to confirm all the information Rory had gathered.
'Rory was right. The defenses on this property are on all the windows, doors, and openings with contact with the outside of the property. The only way in is through the front door, from where one of the butlers must open it for us.' He sighed, noticing that there weren't many barriers inside this mansion but rather around it.
In addition to defensive items that would make the outer doors of this place virtually impenetrable to 2nd stage magicians, there were a number of warning devices that would be triggered if one somehow managed to get past the barriers.
If Vicente had tried to force his way into this place, even after overcoming the barriers, he would have had an additional problem when the warning devices sounded, alerting all the men on the estate to his presence.
With several mid- and high-level Acoytes there, including level 7 and 8 Generals, Vicente knew he might even die if he activated one of those alarm devices!
However, with the help of the servant Rory had seduced, he had found a way to enter safely and now had the path to the estate's vault.
Sensing the location of this family's resources, he saw that all of Lena's information was correct and looked up at the ceiling.
'According to the maid, Lena, a tube runs through this bathroom and connects to the floor where the vault of this residence is located.' He immediately used the metals around his body and began to float in the air, entering the ducts to follow the safest route to the vault.
Nine magicians were in the area, watching different points of the building. To avoid most of them, Vicente used this route, leaving the bathroom and quickly following the path recommended by Lena.
To pull off this heist and achieve his goal, Vicente would have to move around the property, open the vault, and steal whatever was valuable inside before his group finished negotiating with the Baron.
