Chapter 448 - Flickering Lights

The elevator starts rotating as it goes probably two levels down. Then it stops and moved horizontally for a good few seconds. When it stops again, no one can actually identify which direction the door opens. When it did, Felix is already in front of a 22-ton round vault door. The vault door is secured with numerous massive metal bolts and has a combination lock mechanism.

The combination number is not a problem because the day after, the real Mr. Mills has already delivered one of the items inside the vault. And by mere watching him in the CCTV footage, Daniel has already read the numbers. Of course, Daniel already has access to the CCTV footage in every corner of the hotel including inside the rotating elevator until inside the vault.

Felix has already familiarized himself with the same routine because he has been doing it since that morning for 10 times now.

The vault opened and revealed the other 11 items to be auctioned later that day including The Golden Red and the title of a mansion and an island that is to be auctioned.. Once everything is secured. Felix returns to Mr. Mills' office and stayed there the whole day while he checks the vault every thirty minutes.

Meanwhile, inside one of the cells in the basement 2 of Twelve Army headquarters, the real Mr. Mills is sound asleep on a bench. The room was small and has no windows in it. Since Mr. Mills was forcefully dragged there, all he did was sleep and eat. He doesn't know why but every time he wakes up, he will only stay awake for a few hours then there will be a strong urge for him to sleep. He doesn't even have an idea what day or time it is already.

When the time of the auction arrived, Felix stayed inside the vault waiting for the go signal for him to deliver the items on the stage to be presented one by one. When it was time for The Massive J to be presented, he took the velvet brocade box and walk out of the vault.

He walked in the rotating elevator and the elevator started to rotate as it moves horizontally then up to the ballroom. The elevator opened in a secret room where Mr. Gandy and Mrs. Tang with the guards are waiting for him.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Mills." Mr. Gandy said with a smile as he takes the velvet brocade box from Felix.

"It's no big deal. I am just doing my job, Mr. Gandy." Felix said while he watched as Mr. Gandy opened the box for Mrs. Tang to examine The Massive J. When Mrs. Tang reached for The Massive J, the lights started to flicker until the lights were out inside the secret room. Only the wall scones remained. The lighting is not enough for Mrs. Tang to examine the blue diamond.

"What's wrong?" Mr. Gandy asked as he turned to look at Mr. Mills.

"Oh… I'll make a call and check what is going on." Felix calmly replied then he took out his phone and pretended to talk to someone.

"Is there something wrong with the lightings here in the ballroom?" His tone is calm but cold. There was silence until Felix speaks again. "Okay, fix this as soon as possible." Then he hung up the call.

"I am sorry Mr. Gandy, this is the first time that this happened. Nothing is wrong with the lighting inside the ball. The problem lays only here in the secret room. I already called someone to fix this." Felix said politely. He already mastered the tone of voice and the way the original Mr. Mills speaks after watching him for a good two days.

"How long will it take?" Mrs. Tang asked anxiously. She has to examine the blue diamond as soon as possible because it will not take long before the auctioneer presents The Massive J. The Golden Red is already on the stage.
