"You don't have to worry about that. Leave that to me," Leo told the Branch Manager who still looked a little confused.
Then again, he remembered that Leo was the architect behind the Lionel Family moving their every precious belonging, inside one safe realm.
There was no way he wouldn't have thought about a way to get inside their safe heaven when he planned up to this point.
"He will open his treasury for us, and he will do it with a smile on his face," Leo added, his words surprising the massive branch manager even more.
"He will open his treasury for the robbers? And he will do it with a smile on his face? Is that what you said? Or am I hearing things?"
The Branch Manager asked again just to be sure if he wasn't hearing things. He even rubbed his ears a little.
"You're not hearing things," Leo answered. "The Lionel Family's Patriarch will open his treasury for us. And just as I said, he will do it with a big smile on his face."
The Branch Manager wanted to believe Leo, but somehow, he couldn't bring himself to do that. Still, he was really looking forward to seeing how Leo was going to make that happen.
"While you're at it, can you arrange these things for me?" Leo pulled up his communicator, and sent a message to his Branch Manager.
"A fake moustache?" The Branch Manager checked the message that he had received, and couldn't help but mumble the first item on the list. "One bottle of premium cologne... a pair of oversized tinted spectacles?"
The Branch Manager scrolled down, his eyebrows shifting steadily toward his receding hairline. "Did you accidentally send me the wrong list?"
Leo leaned back, looking entirely too relaxed for a man planning to rob a family that probably had more influence than a thousand earths combined.
The Branch Manager looked at Leo with a deadpan expression. "Are we robbing them or auditioning for a low-budget variety show?"
"Of course we have to disguise ourselves, don't we? As the person handling my bank, your face is already all over the world. As for me... Do I even need to explain?" Leo lazily answered.
"Reo Vanderlen is at the height of popularity and recognition now. So you don't really expect him to be caught stealing something, right?"
"That... makes sense. But..." The Branch Manager didn't know how to express his thoughts openly.
Inwardly, he was screaming, 'How the heck is one moustache and tinted sunglasses going to help your disguise?'
"Do you have something to say?" Leo asked, noticing the strange look of his dear Branch Manager who looked like he had swallowed something strange.
"N-nothing. I will arrange these things." He nodded, lowering his head.
He turned around and left, mumbling, "Maybe I'm the one who doesn't understand how genius people think."
Once the Manager left, Leo quickly stood up. He jumped over his table, and rushed to the door to lock him from inside, before returning to his seat.
The corner of his lips crept up. However, it wasn't because of any plan. It was simply because this was one of the moments in his life that he always looked forward to.
It was the settlement day, where the system was going to calculate his losses and give him a reward.
As he had earned over a trillion before opening his bank, he had completely ignored that month, knowing full well that he wasn't going to get any loss.
However, this month was different. He had no income this month. If anything, he had spent, or rather, wasted a lot of his money.
He had already spent more than he was worth. He had even taken a loan from the people that he knew, including the Hero Tower's entire year's budget.
Of course, he was going to pay them back with the system rebate.
"I spent a little over two trillion credits this month. This time, I should easily be able to earn close to four Trillion even after counting all the variables from subsidiaries! Hah, instantly doubling the money will never get old."
The system screen had already materialized in the corner of Leo's sight with the timer that was counting to the end of month.
There were only five minutes left before the clock struck zero, but for Leo, each second felt like an eternity.
After all, there was only five minutes until his untraceable account was going to gain four Trillion Credits, something that he would've even dreamed of in the past.
For a person like him that came from nothing, even ten thousand credits used to be a dream in the past. But this time, he was going to gain four hundred million times that amount.
"I'm freaking rich!" Without even realising, Leo stood up from his seat, and his feet started moving, as he was dancing like no one could see him.
He even started playing music as he grooved to the rhythm. Only four minutes were left to the settlement, just enough time to have one proper song.
He was currently moonwalking past his desk, humming a tune.
"Three minutes," he panted, pausing to strike a pose in front of a mirror.
"In three minutes..."
The system timer flickered in his peripheral vision.
[00:02:14]
He checked his untraceable account one last time which was so empty that it looked like a ghost town.
After all, he had spent almost every single penny he had in the bank, to increase the loss as much as he could.
His account sat there like a stomach waiting for a feast. Leo didn't realize when his little goblin appeared next to him, as if he could also smell the scent of money that was going to flood the Arcadia Bank.
Through the corner of his sight, Leo noticed a tiny Goblin celebrating with him, dancing on the small table.
It was as if there was a dance off between the two, but Leo didn't complain. He was in a good mood, doing his ritual dance.
"Two minutes!"
He began to shadowbox the air. "Come on, baby. Calculate those losses. See the tragedy of my spending. Witness the beautiful catastrophe of my balance sheet!"
