"So, what do you all think?"
Viktor was currently asking the others about the new bunker.
Pin-drop silence filled the air for a while. This caused Barry, who did not know what his young master wanted to hear, to be a little nervous to speak.
"I-It's perfect, young master! The place is really nice!" Barry said a little hurriedly.
After a mont of contemplation, the two bodyguards Torri and Boris nodded in agreent. They voiced how they thought that the fact the bunker lied in a secluded area surrounded by a frozen sea and river made it a much safer option than their previous one.
The two also added a few more reasons why the bunker would be a great place to live. Eva, however, remained silent.
Looking at her faintly furrowed brows and how nervous Barry was, Viktor could sowhat guess that those three, having been servants of the family for so long, did not really have the ability to give negative comnts.
Even if they absolutely did not like the place, they would not dare say it in front of their master. This made Viktor especially interested in the princess' opinion instead.
"What do you think, Eva?"
Rather than waiting for the girl to speak, Viktor thought that it was better to ask her directly.
However, even after his direct question, the girl was still a little hesitant. In the end, Eva simply responded, "Wherever it is, I will stay with you dear."
Viktor let out a helpless sigh.
"That's not what I'm asking, it's all right to tell honestly," he said with a smile. He made sure to speak as gently as he could so she would not feel pressured, and as expected, Eva opened up.
"Well... I just feel that it's a little too quiet and gloomy, that's all, dear..."
Viktor looked at the place again upon hearing her words, and it really was as the girl pointed out; although the place seed much safer, its condition was far from the bright condition their previous bunker had.
It actually felt kind of sad.
He thought about it for a bit. Even though he also did not really like the current atmosphere of this place, safety was still his main priority.
The better option was clear.
"Don't worry, Eva, as long as the place is safe and the generator works, we can add a few things later. We can also visit Arkhangelsk Town whenever we feel bored," Viktor reassuringly said.
"Ah, of course, dear," Eva agreed. Although it was not very obvious, he still noticed that the girl was happier.
Viktor confird that all of them were on board with the idea. Of course, 'all of them' referred to everyone except Gucci, the little lemming. He did not really care whether the weird little creature stayed or left. No matter how intelligent it was, a pet did not get to vote.
"All right then, let's try staying here for a few days first. We'll decide after," Viktor concluded their plan for the ti being.
With these, the four of them quickly busied themselves with preparing the place. Barry imdiately started cleaning the place while the two bodyguards went to check the security periter and listed all the supplies they found from the storage.
As for Eva, she had a bright smile on her face. She had been looking forward to a good hot shower for a while, and now that it was finally here, she could not contain herself. The beautiful princess was so happy that she was even willing to let Viktor join the fun.
Viktor could only give a wry smile and politely refuse the offer.
"Your loss then," the girl said a little unhappily.
Viktor really wanted to join, but he knew that if he really did, he would not be able to handle such a situation. Not with his pipe being untreated for almost two weeks now.
Fortunately, Viktor had an alternative way to have fun. With glee, he walked down to the lowest floor and headed toward the big treasure fault.
Using the sa tal-bending skill he used to open the main door, he opened the vault door with ease.
Even he was amazed at how much his ability had improved in such a short ti, but he did not linger on it for long.
As soon as the large 6-inch door was opened and the vault's ergency lights automatically turned on, a brightly-shining light reflected in Viktor's eyes.
It was a mountain of gold, part of the many Romanov hidden treasures they gathered by taking over the Russian state-owned mines and factories during the fall of the Soviet Union in 1989.
The Romanov family built the bunker all over the country to hide the wealth they took from the country, however, it now ended up in his hands.
What laid before him was a mountain of 12.4-kilogram gold bullion. In total, there were at least 100 bars of them, which ant at least 120 kilograms worth of gold. If it were to be estimated, it would roughly be 700 million Arican dollars' worth of wealth.
He had seen such a view nurous tis, but now that he had an important other use for them, it felt a lot more special.
"What do you think, Djinn?" Viktor proudly asked. If there was one thing he was greatly proud of, it was the wealth that allowed him to get anything he wanted.
However, the Djinn's response was nowhere near what he expected.
The Djinn's voice was filled with ridicule. Even so, Viktor did not pay it much heed. Instead, his thoughts imdiately shifted to sothing else when he heard the Djinn's words.
'Could he be talking about the secret treasure cave from the story?'
"Hundreds of tis? Really? Huh, I won't believe it until I see it."
