The commander continued to use all kinds of methods to blow down the door. He even used face-cutting lasers.

However, in the end, he still could not open the door.

It was almost nighttime. More and more people were watching from the outside.

They were under a lot of pressure. 

The leader of the investigators sighed helplessly and turned to look at Smith.

“Mr. Smith, you built this building. Do you have any solutions?”

“Well… actually, you can just find someone to pick the lock and open the door.”

Smith had been wanting to suggest this option for a long time. He could not understand why they made the situation so complicated. They could just find someone to pick the lock.

“Pick the lock?”

The three leaders were dumbfounded after hearing Smith’s suggestion.

His proposal was feasible.

Actually, it was not that the leaders could not think of this option.

If it was their own room door that could not be opened and the key was lost, their first option would definitely be to pick the lock.

However, they were currently facing a group of mercenaries.

Therefore, all they could think of was to attack forcefully.

After being enlightened by Smith, the three leaders’ faces turned sour.

It was such a simple solution. Why did they not think of it before?

Soon, a locksmith arrived at the scene.

“Protect him and pick the lock!”

The commander gave the order to the special forces.

“Yes!”

The locksmith went to the door and looked at the lock. He then took out a wire and poked the lock hole twice in a casual manner.

“Kacha!”

The door opened.

Everyone was shocked. They could not say anything.

The explosives could not destroy the door and the laser cutter did not work either.

They could not believe that the door that was considered to be indestructible in the eyes of the special forces was actually so weak.

However, it was not the time to think about the door. The special forces rushed into the room as soon as the door opened.

“Raise your hands, don’t move!”

The 8 mercenaries were dumbfounded when they saw the special forces unit rushing in.

This was because they were busy eating. They were holding chicken drumsticks in their hands.

When they saw the special forces unit enter, they subconsciously held up their chicken drumsticks to shield themselves from the special forces unit.

There was no resistance.

All 8 mercenaries were captured, and the important scientific research material that they were carrying was found.

“Isn’t that door impossible to be blasted open? How did they get in?”

One of the mercenaries was shocked.

“Maybe they used some kind of special method?”

The group of people who were looking at the mercenary group all smiled disdainfully.

It was not a trick. The door really could not be opened previously.

In the command car, the three leaders saw that the mercenaries had all been captured easily.

They were all very embarrassed.

If they had known, they would have just sent people to unlock the door.

They tried using every single option that they could think of, but none of them worked.

However, they managed to open the door using Smith’s idea.

Everyone felt a little embarrassed about the whole situation.

“Young man, you are very good. However, this door of yours is not acceptable. If a thief used a wire, wouldn’t he be able to break in easily? The doors need to be changed,” said the commander to Smith.

He seemed to be saying that no matter how strong the door was, it was still useless.

If a thief wanted to enter, he could still enter.

“This is a residential building. If the door can’t be opened at all, then what happens when someone loses their key?”

Smith was not courteous with them.

He had helped them capture the 8 mercenaries. He did not mind them not thanking him, but to mock him was simply unacceptable. 

The commander had nothing to say.

Five minutes later, Smith looked at the departing motorcade and felt extremely displeased.

“I want to buy a car, and a good one at that!”

Smith thought of buying a new car whilst he called a taxi.

After all, he was finally a rich man.

It was time to buy a good car.

At the very least, it had to be at the boss level. He had to call a taxi to go anywhere. It was too embarrassing.

The next day, Smith went to the Bentley car shop and bought a car.

He felt completely different driving a luxury car that was worth millions of dollars.

Smith drove the car to the company. He felt like he was a big boss. 

“Smith, the leader of the construction area called earlier. He said that the building has passed the acceptance test. The final payment will be transferred to the company account within a week,” Eve reported to Smith.

Smith had just arrived at the company.

“The inspection is complete?”

Smith did not know when the other party would complete the inspection.

Why was he not aware?

Eve saw Smith’s confused expression.

She thought in her heart, “The residential area you built could not even be opened using heavy weapons. Why bother to have an inspection?”

“Right, ask Barrett to go to the residential area and paint the black walls on both sides white.”

Smith suddenly remembered the painting issue.

However, he did not need to use the system to do such a simple thing.

All he needed to do was ask Barrett to buy a bucket of paint and instruct him to start painting the building.

“Okay, boss.”

After receiving the order, Barrett had no choice but to drive to the residential area to paint.

He was an elite agent.

When had he done this before?

However, ever since he came to the company, he had to do it even if he did not want to.

“Ah? Where is the location of this residential area?”

Barrett walked around the neighborhood, but he still could not find the residential area.

He used a map to locate the residential area.

He then went in the direction as stated on the map.

Two hours later, Barrett was still walking around in circles on the road.

“What’s going on? How did I pass it again?”
