Chapter 110: Rich people are weird?
Isla is gritting her teeth, thinking about everyone else as no one has told her about this before.
'How am I supposed to know this if no one told me about it?'
Aiden started to walk down the metal stairs, which were made of high-grade steel alloy, silver in color with rough patterns on them to not make it slippery. As they walked, the lights began to illuminate themselves due to the sensors present on the walls.
They walked for a long time, descending underground for about 500 meters, and finally stood in front of a rectangular, giant black door, 4 meters tall and 3 meters wide, which had both a panel and manual option to unlock. The material it was made from was carbon-grade steel, strong enough to even block missiles.
While walking toward the gate, the ten women noticed how highly built the entire structure was. The 3-meter-wide stairs that led them down here amazed them, as they couldn't even comprehend how much money it would have taken just to make this—and this wasn't even the start.
They had already recognized the material used in the black gate, and all of them could tell that wherever they were going would be considered one of the safest places on the planet.
Aiden moved to the front of the blue panel and placed his hand on it to scan. He could have used the manual option, but he liked the cool-looking panel more. After scanning his fingerprints, it scanned his iris to finally open the gate.
What was inside the gate shocked all the women to the core. As far as they could see, there was a vast space inside. If they had seen something like this on their mission, they would have thought someone was planning a rebellion against their army.
There was at least one square kilometer of space inside the gate, now the large gate seemed tiny now, but what they didn't know was that there were many entrances to this underground base moving them to different sections, and Aiden wasn't going to tell them as they would feel even more shocked knowing this is now even its full size.
Still, seeing the reaction of all the ladies, he felt satisfied, as they were not much different from him when he first saw this. It could easily fit thousands of people inside. He wasn't the one who built this giant structure; it was his mother.
'She probably made this in case any war happened so she could use it to store as many people as possible,' he thought as his resolve to revive his mother as soon as he could increase even more.
He knew most of the money his mother earned was used to build this thing, which was a large nuclear bunker. Only a small part of it was actually used by her as her lab and library.
He had not led them inside by that entrance and led them to the one which is connected to this place. This was the place where he stored weapons. Even though he couldn't fully utilize the large space, he felt proud of Mom for building this thing.
Alicia, standing next to him, also felt pride when she saw the reactions of the women.
Now Aiden once again looked at the red transparent timer hovering in front of his eyes.
[World Evolution starts in 3 minutes 50 seconds.]
The height inside the hall was more than two stories tall.
Aiden started to lead them toward the armory where weapons were stored to get them geared up. He didn't think their tight black outfits would be enough. They looked sexy on their toned bodies wearing them, but he had to be as prepared as possible.
He knew he was doing too much, as nothing would be able to enter inside, but he had played many games where monsters respawned in a particular area out of thin air, so he was ready for it.
He had asked the system this question many times, but it didn't answer him. After finding out that it would weaken the system, he stopped.
Reaching another black gate, smaller than the last one, he opened it with the same method and started walking inside as it lit itself up like the last time.
It revealed countless swords, knives, bows, armor, and many modern guns, ranging from snipers, handguns, shotguns, and rifles displayed on the futuristic walls. The size of the room was about 500 square meters.
All the women inside felt a little terrified by seeing all this, as it looked like enough weapons for them to take over a city. Besides the weapons on the walls, there were many large boxes which have symbols of different weapons on them, which they assumed would have the same weapons and large amounts of ammo inside.
'Is the general's nephew the leader of some criminal organization?'
They had many questions to ask him, but they kept silent, as the general had given him command of them, and they trusted the general.
Still, if he told them to commit some mass genocide where a large number of innocent civilians would be killed, they would rebel against him without hesitation, as they couldn't imagine their general sending them for something like that.
Most of the women who had fallen in love with him felt a little hesitation seeing all this, but for Isla, it only made her eyes sparkle with excitement. She was most interested in the cool-looking cold weapons, which she had never used before other than knives.
'Ah! It's good to be rich.'
'Of course, he'd buy all the cool-looking toys if he had so much money.'
'Hehehehe, if I married him, he would let me play with all these weapons as much as I like.'
Her earlier depression lessened significantly just by seeing all the weapons, while the others were terrified, including her sister Ava.
Isla would have rushed to pick a weapon or shouted she would be the one she would choose first, but seeing all the boxes, she felt calm, knowing there was so much that she would be able to get what she wanted even if she chose last.
Aiden noticed all of their reactions. Ignoring one of the beautiful twins who seemed overly excited for some reason, most of them had scared expressions on their faces, which he had expected.
Alicia also didn't find their reaction strange, as their legs weren't shaking like hers when she first saw all these weapons in one place. Seeing some weapons didn't affect her much, but seeing thousands terrified her a little.
But after some time, she saw it as normal, as she had expected this to be only her little brother's hobby.
Still, she felt a little annoyed seeing the one who was probably fawning over her Aiden at school, because she didn't think anyone other than a fool like her would have such a thrilled expression on their face.
"Hmph!" she huffed, standing next to Aiden, still not liking that particular woman, even though she was calmer than before.
'She's a little cute, I'll give her that, but it doesn't make her any less of an idiot.'
Aiden spoke in his calm yet captivating voice, loud enough for everyone to hear, to stop them from misunderstanding him.
"You guys should relax. I'm not a criminal or the leader of some secret organization. This is just one of my hobbies that I like to spend money on." As wouldn't be considered a lie because it has really become his hobby to collect weapons now.
Listening to his soothing voice and hearing his words, they felt calmer than before, relieved to know he wasn't a criminal.
They had already thought he wasn't a criminal, as they had kept an eye on him for five years. They also didn't believe the nephew of the proud general would be a criminal, but still, seeing the sheer amount of weapons, they couldn't help but wonder.
When he called this is only his hobby, they had only one thought in their minds.
'Rich people are weird.'
