When a large-scale robbery occurred on Zhongzheng Street, a loud explosion came from the Coastal Commercial Bank in the neighboring district.
The explosion was so intense that you could feel a slight tremor in the ground beneath your feet on the street.
Soon after, the bank's alarm sounded.
And it was at that moment.
Lu Heng's phone rang, and after answering, Chen Linian's voice came through.
"Lu Heng, do me a favor, the vault at Coastal Commercial Bank has been blown open, our people are on their way there, but I'm worried we won't make it in time. You should be nearby, right? Go take a look."
"Sure, how do you plan to thank me?" Lu Heng left a clone to deal with the robbers on Zhongzheng Street, and his actual body ran through the alley towards the direction of the Commercial Bank.
"I knew you would help," Chen Linian sighed.
"So you just take advantage of my personality, Inspector Chen Linian," Lu Heng said with a bit of annoyance in his tone.
"Consider it a favor you're doing for me. Once this is over, you tell me what you want, and as long as it's within my power, I'll make it happen," Chen Linian had no choice but to verbally acknowledge his debt.
Lu Heng did not respond to this and hung up the phone, as he had already rushed into the Commercial Bank.
Several people were down in the bank lobby, and a few tellers were cowering and trembling in the corner.
Lu Heng grabbed one and shouted loudly: "Where's the vault? Where's the vault?"
The teller, terrified out of his wits, kept repeating: "Don't kill me, don't kill me."
"Where is the vault?" Lu Heng was a little exasperated.
Just as he was about to run in and search the rooms one by one.
Another teller next to him pointed towards the back hall and said, "Enter through here, pass three intersections, turn right, go down the stairs, and you'll see the vault door."
Lu Heng turned and ran through the back hall. As he passed the first corner, he caught a glimpse of a figure and stopped short.
This figure was draped in a black cloak with a hood, obscuring their face.
Staring intently, Lu Heng was startled to see a pair of colorful, dazzling eyes beneath the hood.
It turned out to be 027, and he had unexpectedly encountered 027 here.
According to 013, 027 had defected.
However, up to now, Lu Heng only had two contacts, and the latest information about the Abyss World organization came from these two.
The news about 027's defection came from 013.
Lu Heng was skeptical of what 013 had said, so encountering 027 here made him want to confront him for answers.
As soon as Lu Heng appeared, 027 suddenly turned and ran down the hall's corner.
Lu Heng rushed to turn the corner, only to see the last bit of 027 disappearing as if erased by an eraser.
He was in the Coastal Commercial Bank during the robbery; was he involved too?
At this moment, Lu Heng's mind was filled with questions, but now was not the time to delve into these matters. He had to stop the bank robbers immediately.
Lu Heng instantly turned back and ran, crossing two intersections and stepping down the stairs, where he then saw the door to the vault.
In reality, the vault door was no longer there; it had been blown away, leaving only rubble and a large hole.
And it was at that time.
A group of masked robbers came out carrying travel bags full of stuff, and the vault had been completely looted.
Since the Fall of the Abyss, bank vaults stored not only cash and gold bars but also Crystal Cores and various quenching and forging materials.
Therefore, if these robbers successfully escaped with the loot from the bank vault, the financial and resource gains would be enormous.
Lu Heng saw the robbers coming out of the vault and drew the Aurora Blade, standing in a defensive stance in front of the door.
These robbers, blinded by greed for the riches they had acquired, saw someone dare block their way and, without needing an order, immediately raised their guns and started to shoot.
Lu Heng dodged to one side of the door to avoid the first barrage, then released his Divine Embodiment and burst forth to slaughter the group of robbers.
The Clone Skill, now upgraded to S-Level "Divine Embodiment," had immense combat power and was no longer a mere energy form that would disintegrate with a single hit.
Of course, the Divine Embodiment would still explode if subjected to concentrated fire.
However, the Divine Embodiment could use the main body's skills. Although its combat power wasn't as strong as Lu Heng's own, it was effortless to deal with Superpower Users below Level 25.
These robbers had resorted to theft for a living; their combat effectiveness could not be too high.
At this stage, Power Users with a Source Energy Level of 25 or above didn't need to resort to robbery—they had more than enough corporations and capital trying to throw money at them.
Therefore, Lu Heng and his embodiment charged out and, with a flurry of slashes, killed the robbers left and right.
After cutting down all the robbers, the Divine Embodiment remained unscathed.
The last robber boss, seeing Lu Heng quickly dispatch a dozen of his cronies, immediately knelt and begged for mercy: "Big brother, don't kill me, I'll give you everything, everything in the vault is yours."
Lu Heng put the sword to his neck, threatening, "Then hand it over, and make it quick, won't you?"
Because Crystal Cores and quenching materials, all unique substances from the Abyss World, could be stored in an item slot.
These robbers weren't stupid; cash and gold bars couldn't be stored in an item slot, so they used travel bags to carry those, but the Crystal Cores and materials were kept by the robber boss in his item slot.
Therefore, this robber boss was not carrying a travel bag.
Hearing Lu Heng's words, the robber boss thought he had a chance to live and quickly pulled out a pile of Crystal Cores and placed them on the ground, saying, "They're all yours, let me go, all this is yours."
"Is that all?" Lu Heng, eyeing the Crystal Cores on the ground, let out a chilling glare.
