Chapter 386 Ancestral Shrine
“When we go out later, if someone comes to grab the box, you don’t need to chase after them and pretend to let them take it.”
At that, Levi was surprised: “You deliberately brought it out just to let them snatch it away?”
The ends of Ruby’s eyes lifted slightly, her expression certain and confident, her rosy lips hooked up as she smiled, “Yes, how can we make Benjamin have the consequence if we don’t let them snatch it away?”
As the two spoke, they were already walking out of the bank.
Before Levi could ask her what the hell she was up to, as luck would have it, several men in black rushed over and suddenly tried to snatch the wooden box from Ruby’s hand.
Such a clumsy charade happened in front of the bank, which showed that these people were not going to let Ruby get into the car with the box.
Levi’s expression froze and he immediately rushed forward, shielding Ruby behind him.
But at that moment, a few people unexpectedly rushed out from inside the bank and appeared directly behind Ruby, quickly snatching the wooden box from Ruby’s hand.
Ruby turned her back on a few people, a brilliant glint in her eyes, and with a slight force in her hand, the wooden box was not easily handed over to the man.
But it was only a short stalemate, and eventually the men got the box, and the man at the head of the group, seeing this, immediately retreated with his men.
In just ten minutes, these people disappeared, even the security of RS Bank looked dumbfounded.
Ruby and Levi looked at each other and did not stay much longer, quickly getting into the car.
It was not until after the car drove out that Levi took control of the steering wheel with one hand, propped up on the window with the other, leaning his hand on the side of his face, and smiled lightly, with lightness at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
“Tell me, what exactly did you put in that wooden box of yours?”
Ruby looked carelessly out of the window at the street scene and was in a good mood, asking instead of answering, “Are you asking me before or after?”
Levi raised his eyebrows half-heartedly and said idly, “Before and after.”Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Ruby shrugged her shoulders and looked lazy: “If before, I don’t know, but after that I am clear that it was the reagent I developed myself.”
There was a red light ahead, and Levi stopped and looked at her sideways, his eyes inquisitive: “You developed the reagent yourself?”
“Well, yes, just in case, I took two bottles when I left the LW lab, and I didn’t expect them to come in handy so soon.”
Levi did not think so, “I think you are thoughtful, and this accident is within your expectation. So you have already expected all what Benjamin would do next.”
Ruby smiled modestly, “When an expert fights, naturally you can’t just consider the immediate, when you take one step, consider the next ten steps, and also consider the next ten steps of the opponent, this can only be foolproof.”
Levi nodded his head in approval, the corners of his lips curling up
“What is that bottle of reagent for?” He asked.
Speaking of this, Ruby’s eyes and eyebrows floated up with a bit of complacency, looking sideways at him and answering with a proud expression, “That reagent is not too powerful, but not too small, if it is close, it may hurt people. The bottle is custom-made, as soon as someone opens that wooden box, the bottle will automatically explode, the reagent inside quickly evaporates and turns into gas, the person who opens the box can’t avoid it and will be burned.”
When Levi heard this, he smiled, “So impressive.”
“That’s for sure.” Ruby’s beautiful eyebrows twitched, “Moreover, the wounds from the burns will be somewhat special because of the gas, and as soon as I see it, I will know who opened this box.”
“So who do you think it could be?”
Ruby gave him an oblique look, “Is that even a question? Who else but Benjamin could there be?”
Levi laughed, “And what if it was one of his men who had opened it ahead of time and looked at it on the way back?”
Ruby stretched out her finger and waved them at him.
“Absolutely no, a man like Benjamin would not allow his men to overstep their bounds, he likes the feeling of having everything in the palm of his hand, and of course something so important should be opened by him personally, his men are not that stupid.”
Her tone of voice was cheerful, and Levi was in a pleasant mood as he listened to her.
Out of the corner of his eye, he looked at the finger she was holding out, and he couldn’t help but want to hold it in his hand and rub it gently.
But with the green light on, he could only temporarily restrain his thoughts and drive.
“And what about what was in that wooden box before? What do you mean you don’t know?”
Ruby didn’t hide anything from him, and said it directly.
“All that was put in that box was a note with the words ‘Ancestral Shrine’ written on it, so I guessed that Grandpa had something important that he had put in the Grant family’s ancestral shrine”
“The Grant family’s ancestral shrine?” Levi asked with surprise, “Isn’t that in the capital?”
“Yeah.” Ruby shrank back in her seat, seemingly depressed, “What does Grandpa want? He puts a note in the RS Bank, only to have things placed in the ancestral shrine in the capital.”
She didn’t expect to come all the way here and be chased by mercenaries, only to have to turn back.
Levi glanced at her puffy cheeks and couldn’t help but laugh.
“Grandpa must have had his reasons for doing this, so perhaps there is multiple insurance, but it also shows that this relic of his is definitely very important and will never be less influential.”
At these words, Ruby pondered and nodded with a stern expression.
“You’re right, before Grandma’s identity was revealed, she was being hunted down and those people were running after Grandpa’s relics, so this thing Grandpa is hiding is definitely not to be underestimated.”
Saying that, she pondered again and murmured, “I didn’t expect that it will be hidden in the ancestral shrine. The Grant family has fallen over the past few years, without the momentum it had back then, and not as glorious as before, I heard that the Grant family are now peaceful and ordinary people.”
Levi responded, “I know, when I was on a mission before, I had heard rumors about the Grant family and had passed by the ancestral shrine of the Grant family.”
Ruby’s eyes lit up, “You’ve been there?”
“Yes, the Grant family’s ancestral shrine is not with the Grant family, it’s in a remote suburb of the capital. That old mansion that the Grant family had before has now been sold and doesn’t belong to the Grant family anymore, the Grant family seems to rarely go the ancestral shrine, they should only make a trip there on major days.”
