The Branch Manager also entered the office, and closed the door behind him.
He still didn't say anything, and walked around the office, observing every small thing. After a brief period of silence, he nodded in satisfaction as he sat before Leo.
"Everything's good. No spy devices were found," he said.
He was so cautious that every time he entered this office, he checked the entire place personally, to ensure that no enemies managed to plant something here, not wanting this conversation to leak.
"Lord Leo, are you sure it's the right time?" he asked.
"What better time can we have, when the entire world's attention is on the Alpha Corp dragging the Watchdogs to court? Who will suspect us of doing something like this?"
Leo relaxed on the chair, his expressions growing a little more solemn.
Only a few people knew about his actual plan, and his branch manager was one of them. Throughout this time, Leo had already tested this man a lot, and managed to verify that he was trustworthy.
It was especially the case since this man had more to gain from Alpha Corp's success than from its failure, as he was close to becoming part of the upper echelon.
If Leo succeeded, the deputy branch manager was going to become the Manager, and handle the bank that dealt with hundreds of billions of credits every day.
If something happened to Leo, then the entire bank was going to be shut down, since Leo was the entire source of funding.
Moreover, the worst part was that the branch manager was also somehow akin to a partner in crime. If they were busted, then both of them were screwed.
Still, although Leo trusted the man, it wasn't completely blind trust. That's why Leo had also assigned a few more people to keep an eye on his branch manager just to be sure.
Only a few people knew that Leo was behind the explosions that had taken place at the Lionel Family branches, and this man before him, was one of them.
"We blew up the branches, all for this moment. After all, isn't it much harder to rob all the branches than it is to rob just one?" Leo said, crossing his arms.
"If I robbed one branch, they would secure the other places. In the end, it was a hassle that would never be able to make them go bankrupt," he added.
"That is why you created a terror threat, where it looked like the enemy didn't want to steal anything. They just wanted to destroy the branches along with all the treasures," the Branch Manager nodded.
"If I was in their place, I would have fallen for this falsity as well. Because they thought that the enemy just wanted to cause the maximum damage, they closed all branches, and shifted the treasures to the main branch."
From the start to the end, Leo didn't want to kill innocent people. That's why, even when he blew up the branches, he only did so when it wasn't the working time on the branches.
His entire goal was to make that family go bankrupt in one fell swoop so that they couldn't be a threat to him. He was then going to use their own money to screw them over.
Now that they had fallen for his traps like a fly attached to a spider web, it was time to go for the final kill.
He was going to rob the main branch, which was said to be the most secure place in the entire space sector, that could only be accessed by the Lionel Family Patriarch.
If he succeeded, he was going to bring the entire family to their feet. It was especially the case since the branch also held the collateral of the trustworthy powerful customers that were too lazy to shift things to Leo's bank because they didn't really care about the interest rate.
They only kept their precious items there because they believed in their safety.
With one move, Leo was going to increase the value of his own bank, while creating enemies for the bankrupt Lionel Family, bringing them to the road.
"I wonder how their faces would look when they are forced to run while hiding their faces? Will they still have the same arrogance and influence?"
Leo slowly closed his eyes, as if trying to see the future. He was also a little worried since this was the most dangerous thing he was ever going to attempt, aside from facing the two overlord families, something which he only survived because of the hostage.
"I agree. This would be a good time to rob that place, but is it really that easy? After all, there's not a single person who doesn't know that the main branch treasury could only be opened by the Lionel Patriarch. So can we even enter that place even if they don't expect us?"
The Branch Manager agreed with Leo's assumption that the timing was right because the entire world's attention, including the Lionel Family, was on the Alpha Corp and the future court case.
Despite that, it was far easier said than done. Even if they didn't expect them, still, it wasn't as if they could just enter that place.
They were talking about the Main Branch of the Lionel Family, which had world class security.
Although the Lionel Family wasn't part of a High Planet, but they had massive wealth, which made the security of their main branch no less than that of a High Planet, especially since the area to be secured was much smaller than a high planet.
This was also one of the reasons that Leo could only go for branches, and not the main family estate.
After all, the difference between the two was like heaven and earth. But now, he was targeting the den of the poisonous snakes, and the Branch Manager couldn't help but be worried.
"If we want to gain entrance to the main treasury, we need the Lionel Patriarch to open the treasury gate for us. How can we achieve that?" he asked.
