Modern Traveler-Chapter 76. Rob

When night arrives shocking news is spread all over the world.

"Breaking News: The CEO of Augusta Precious Metals released a video regarding the biggest diamond to ever be discovered. Let's watch it" A video appears and begins playing

"Hello, I'm the CEO of Augusta Precious Metals. Today, I am excited to announce that our company will be collaborating with another business that is set to open soon, the name of the company is 'Gray's Vault'. They have given me the privilege of auctioning a precious stone. As you may know, the largest diamond ever discovered is the Cullinan diamond, which had an estimated value of $400 million at the time of its discovery"

"Now if the Cullinan were discovered today the price would be $2 billion. But this precious stone that I will reveal to you is 3 times the size of the Cullinan diamond and one of the rare diamonds on earth. Let me introduce you to the Neo Blue Diamond" Isaac uncovered the item sitting on the table. A diamond with a deep blue glittering in the video

"The Neo Blue Diamond is owned by 'Gray's Vault' company that will soon be opening, and they have entrusted me with managing its auction. However, let's focus on the diamond itself. This blue diamond is comparable in size to a basketball and weighs an impressive 23,000 carats. Each carat of the blue diamond is valued at $3.9 million, which brings the total price of this stone to approximately $89.7 billion. When considering its rarity and size, our estimate increases to around $150 billion."

"4 days from now will be the day we will auction the Neo Blue Diamonds. The location is Bonham's auction house. We expect to see you all there. Thank you" The video ended

"This video is already circulating all over the world. Royalty, Nation, and all big names in business are already booking flights to Los Angeles California. Soon LA will be crowded with people" the reporter said

On social media, Neo is still the number one trending topic, followed closely by the Neo Blue Diamond, which will be auctioned in four days.

"Where was the Neo Blue Diamond discovered?"

"I'm so jealous right now! $150 billion—God, I wish I were the one who discovered it."

"Who do you think will end up with that item?"

"Perhaps royalty. They could create a new ornament with a stone like that."

"I bet it will be nations competing for it. They could use it as their national treasure."

"Hmm, I'm not so sure about that, but jewelry businesses will definitely compete for it."

"You're all wrong. That kind of item is bound to be stolen for sure. Greed can drive people to do anything."

People start talking about it. Royalty already preparing their budget for these stones. Businesses teaming up to form a large sum of money.

Neo who was watching the news, can't help but marvel. So much money for a little object. Neo keeps watching until he falls asleep.

Sabrina and Madison who arrived at midnight wake Neo up and bring him to the bedroom to continue his sleep

When morning arrived, Neo woke up and quietly left the bed. He prepared breakfast for the two women and then headed out to visit Elizabeth to check on her.

The night before, Isaac had already sent the cash to my bank account, and the pickup truck had successfully retrieved the gold. The gold was heavily guarded during transport.

As I enjoyed the view of the streets, I received a call from Jack.

"Bastard, you're famous! Where have you been? You've disappeared for two years, man. I visited your family once to check on you, but they said you were on a business trip!" Jack, as usual, was quite loud.

"Jack my friend. Do you miss me that much? No worries, I can visit you. Where do you work Jack?"

"Do you know that I have a fiance now? She was the one who helped me apply to this job. I'm working in sales at the car dealership"

"Oh ah car dealership, perfect I was gonna buy a gift for my brother and sister. Give me your location, ill visit tomorrow. Introduce me to your fiancé also"

"Sure, I will send you the address. Let's talk tomorrow then"

"See you" hanging up the phone, I focus on driving the car.

Many people who saw Neo's Bugatti remember the trending topic on social media, taking pictures and uploading them to the internet as always. Neo's fame is at its peak right now, and people recognize him for his car

When Neo arrived at another location in Hollywood, he found that they were filming in the street. Although he wasn't sure what movie genre they were working on, he felt that with a cast member like Sydney, it was probably a love story or a tragedy.

I stayed for a few hours until Elizabeth's break was over, as she was filming another scene for her role. Unfortunately, I didn't see Sydney today and wasn't sure why she was absent, perhaps she was filming in a different area. He wanted to see her again and enjoy something delicious together.

Neo who has nothing to do, barges into his parent's house. His girlfriend is all busy handling their own things. Night passed and Neo bid his goodnight

In a particular area in Los Angeles where violence is common, people gather in the abandoned garage. At least 20 people are standing and discussing something

"I got a client that wanted us to steal the Neo Blue Diamond. They are willing to pay us 1

$10 billion" the leader said

"But why would we give them the stone? Why don't we sell it ourselves, $150 billion compared to 10 is nothing boss" goons

"Do you really think I didn't consider the risks? If we try to sell it ourselves, the authorities will undoubtedly track us down and hunt our group. We need to stick to the plan. We'll execute a silent raid on Agusta Precious Metals. I have an insider who informed me that the stone has been left in the meeting room. I'm not sure why it's unattended, but we have to take the risk. Do you understand? Let's go." boss

The group soon set out in their cars and motorcycles, envisioning the money they would make from this operation. They arrived at the Agusta, where guards were patrolling certain areas. However, with the help of an insider, they gained access through a back door.

With many people entering the building, it wasn't uncommon for someone to notice them. One particular guard asked where they had come from, but before he could inquire further, they quickly tied him up and left him in an empty room.

The group then made their way to the meeting room. The boss instructed his underlings to destroy the door handle. Once the handle was broken and the door opened, they rushed inside.

Inside, they beheld the most precious stone currently on Earth. The boss quickly reached for the box containing it. After a few unsuccessful attempts to open it, he decided to destroy the box altogether.

"Fuck. How did they do it? I can't lift the box! Nevermind that let's just destroy the container"

"Fuck! How did they do it? I can't lift the box! Never mind that; let's just destroy the container."

"Boss, the container is so tough. Even with a hammer, it won't budge. What should we do now?"
