Blackstone Code

"I'm going to put on my makeup..." Twenty minutes before the celebration officially started, Austin took the initiative to let go of Lynch's arm.

Lynch agreed for her to leave, and under the leadership of a waitress, Austin came to the bathroom of the "Presidential Palace" of this miniature kingdom.

If Paradise Island is a kingdom, the security force on the island is the armed force of this "country", and the office building of Paradise Island Company is the presidential palace of this kingdom.

Horn works in this building, and some inaccurate information states that during the construction of the Bliss Island headquarters building, six additional downward passages were built that were not on the design drawings.

During the entire construction process of Paradise Island, a construction team from abroad was responsible for part of the infrastructure construction, but their actual stay on Paradise Island was much longer than the time they needed to complete the work.

He spends nearly two-thirds of his time on the island and rarely appears in public.

The external publicity is that they have been operating out of sight, but it was discovered that they seemed to have built some underground spaces.

This indicates that if there is something underground on this island, at least some of the passages will be within this building.

The celebration is taking place in the lobby of this building. This is a good opportunity.

After the waitress came to the bathroom, Austin stood in front of the huge mirror and straightened his clothes.

She was really afraid that her melon would suddenly pop out of the two strips of cloth, so she was cautious all night, but it turned out that Lynch was right.

It looked like it might pop out at any time, but it just didn't pop out and remained safely hidden inside.

"Can you stop looking at me here?" Austin took out the makeup box she carried with her and looked at the girl standing by the wall not far away.

The waitress smiled and turned to face her sideways, looking at the wall.

"I mean can you go out? I'm very uncomfortable with you being here!" Austin had to send the girl away, otherwise she would keep staring and she wouldn't be able to do anything.

"Okay ma'am!", the waitress left the restroom.

Listening to the footsteps outside the door gradually walking away, Austin quickly packed her things. She opened the door, revealing a crack, and there was no one outside.

When she came over, she observed that there was a closed emergency exit opposite the bathroom. She paid attention and saw the handrail stairs, where she should be able to go up.

She walked out of the bathroom, already holding the lock pick in her hand. When she pressed her body against the emergency exit, the lock pick in her hand had already been inserted into the lock cylinder.

The door is unlocked, which is good news.

With a gentle push, she disappeared into the corridor.

There are no stairs going down, only up.

This time she had two main goals. One was to find out whether there really was an underground space on Paradise Island. If so, it would be best to find some entrances.

The second goal is to try to get close to Horn's office to see if there is any valuable information in it.

Today is the celebration ceremony of Paradise Island. Horn will entertain various distinguished guests down there throughout the whole process, which also ensures that his office will be empty.

This period of time is the time for Austin to take action.

Maybe Horn didn't realize that on the first day of the official opening of Paradise Island, someone was thinking about how to send him in, so the security on the entire island was very lax.

This also shows that they are not professional enough. If Horn is willing to spend money and trusts Blackstone Security, then he can hire Blackstone Security's professional services.

They would never let a "little bug" sneak into an "unimportant" emergency passage.

Climbing directly from the first floor to the twelfth floor, Austin was almost breathless from exhaustion.

Her physical fitness is actually pretty good, but time is tight this time. She has to get to the top as soon as possible, and the physical exertion is temporarily overloaded.

After taking a few breaths to even out her breath, she took out the lock pick again and opened the emergency exit door on the twelfth floor.

The makeup mirror worked at this time. There was no one in the corridor. At this time, everyone was downstairs. This floor is where the president's office and the board of directors' offices work.

Ordinary employees are not qualified to work here, so it is quiet here.

She quickly found Horn's office and pried it open.

Horn's office is not small. It also has an indoor golf course and a tank... I don't know what kind of fish it is. It seems that the faces of these fish, including the mouths, are bright red, with green backs and tawny bodies. Looks very healthy.

The fish tank is also very large, with at least hundreds of these fish in it. They don't seem to be afraid of people. When Austin appeared in this room, the fish in the huge fish tank swam to the position closest to Austin from all corners.

Some even tried to hit the glass, very ferociously!

She retracted her attention, quickly walked behind Horn's desk, and opened the drawer.

There were some file bags in each drawer. Austin quickly opened one of them, but what surprised her was that the files in these file bags were all white paper!

The second, third, and fourth are all like this.

Just when she had a premonition that she would not gain much from her trip, footsteps suddenly came from the corridor outside.

She was stunned for a moment and hid behind the fish tank.

Behind the fish tank are some indoor plants, which are as big as a wall. It seems that Horn probably wants to use these indoor plants to set off a certain mood.

This also gave Austin a chance to hide.

After about ten seconds, the door opened.

Horn walked in. He looked at the group of piranhas gathered together in surprise and felt a little strange.

Generally speaking, these fish will only gather together when eating, and this is the case at any time.

It's rare to gather together without feeding like today.

But he had a lot of things to do at the moment and didn't have time to think about it. He just thought that the fish might be hungry, so he pulled out an iron bucket from the cabinet under the fish tank, which contained some pieces of meat soaked in blood.

He inserted two pieces and threw them in.

The fish tank seemed to be boiling for a moment, and the ferocious piranhas began to bite the pieces of meat that fell into the water crazily. The pieces of meat could not even sink to the bottom of the tank normally.

Horn whistled, pushed the bucket in, and walked to the desk.

He looked at the last drawer on the right side of his desk with some surprise. It seemed that it was not closed tightly and was slightly more protruding than the other drawers.

Austin, who was hiding behind the plant, cursed a few times in his mind, some of which were directed at Horn, and some of which were directed at himself.

Fortunately, Horn didn't become suspicious. He just kicked the drawers together and then picked up the phone on the table.

"Hey, it's me. I heard you want to see me for something?" He opened the cigarette box on the table, took out an individually wrapped cigarette, and then took out a small box.

It’s so fucking fun to do these things all the time, and everyone knows it’s not worth the money, but everyone is willing to buy it.

Because what you buy is not enjoyment, quality, or cost-effectiveness, but a symbol of identity and status.

The person on the phone didn't know what they said. Horn's face quickly turned ugly, and there was a hint of solemnity in his voice. "I understand...Okay, I know, this matter won't be involved." Come to any of you, do you understand?"

"There is no problem at all. Don't worry, no one can find us..."

"Okay, okay, I will try my best to arrange it. We will talk about it in person when the time comes. There are some things that are not convenient to say on the phone."

A bad news.

The person on the other end of the phone had a lot of energy and was one of the few people Horn knew who was considered a real big shot.

Now this guy calls to inform him that some federal security agency is investigating him and tells him to wipe his ass clean.

While he assured that nothing would happen, he was a little worried.

He finally seized the opportunity and through his eloquence, ability, and storytelling talent, he convinced so many people that his plan would succeed.

After all kinds of hardships and struggles, he finally stood here, standing on the threshold of success, and he would not give up easily.

People who are afraid of poverty will never forget the horror of poverty!

He didn't want to go back to the past, and he didn't want to be that poor. It would be better to die happily!

He took a few steps back and forth in the office with a cigarette in his mouth and glanced at the fish tank.

The few fish in the fish tank have begun to wander slowly, freely and casually as before.

But many of them were still gathered together, with their tails pointing towards him, which made him feel a little strange.

Is it...what's behind the fish tank?

He suddenly remembered that sometimes when he entered the room, these fish would stare at him, as if they wanted to eat him.

This thought made him feel some inexplicable uneasiness, and he walked towards the plant walls.

It was very close, so close that it was only a dozen steps away, so close that Austin had already seen the foot he took out. When he was about to subdue Horn, the phone rang.

Horn turned counterclockwise from the left and just missed it. If he turned clockwise from the right, he might just be able to see Austin hiding behind the plant background wall.

He walked to the table and picked up the phone, "Okay, I understand, I'll be down right away."

The time is almost up to the scheduled time, and a senator has arrived. Horn must go down to greet him personally without any neglect.

He turned around and left without continuing to explore the secrets behind the fish tank.

The footsteps got farther and farther until they disappeared, and Austin breathed a sigh of relief.

She walked out and continued to look through all the documents in the drawer. Every page was blank.

This also made her realize that this office was probably a fake!

This is a fake office!
