Erian cleaned up by absorbing the corpses of those be had killed. Except for the masked man, noone alive knew what had transpired within these walls.
It took roughly an hour before Erian came across the treasure vault. Erian cursed loudly once he realised it required a combination number to unlock it.
"Bang!"
There wasn't a single dent on the surface as Erian's body rebounded three steps backwards. Pondering what to do, he suddenly had an idea. If he couldn't retrieve the treasures, perhaps he could absorb the energy the treasures inside may contain.
'Absorb!'
Erian's eyes lit up once he saw his energy storage increase, but in the next second, his expression darkened.he had actually been absorbing the natural nuclear energy accumulated by the steel vault.
"Fu Tian really went all out on this one." Erian frowned. He could only go through with it using brute force since he had no idea what the combination was.
Reacalling a few movies he'd seen about heist, Erian shrugged, thinking the idea might work.
He placed his ear very close to the vault and turned the vault door handle softly. He could bareky hear any sounds therefore, using streams of nuclear energy to enhance his hearing, he was finally able to hear the soft clicks after spinning the combination dial, but he wasn't able to make sense of what he was listening to.
"Fvck!" His claws extended out from his gloves as they dug a few inches into the safe. Erian didn't want to leave the safe here. It should contain at least a few hundred thousand points, something Erian didn't want to give up easily.
His eyes hardened, seeing his claw dug an inch into the steel cave, he knew he could only go through with it using brute force. Power erupted out from Erian as he clawed the sharo nails into the side of the safe. The side is always weaker then the door itself.
A few minutes later, Erian had expended about a thousand energy points and his gloves were showing signs of been damaged. As he clawed out holes in the metal safe, one of his nails broke with a snap, the kinetic energy bounced the nails outward as it blasted a hole into the wall nearby, its depth couldn't be seen.
Erian frowned. He added the metal-horns and upgraded the gloves before coming here which costed about 2000 energy points. To repair the gloves, he would need to upgrade it once more. The next upgrade cost 20,000 energy pints this time. But Erian didn't have that much.
Remembering the bag he had snatched from the masked man, Erian began boroughing through it. His eyes widened as he found Five serums, a manual and 10,000 bronx in cash.
Three of the serums were Energy Replenishing serum while the other two were Atomic Amplifier serums. The mid-grade serums create a large surge of energy in the body, temporarily increase the energy input of the user, thereby achieving a great surge in strength.
Erian directly absorbed the three Energy Replenishing serums. While storing the Atomic Amplifier serums, the book and the cash in his pocket.
His energy increased by 30,000 points. With the 20,000, he immediately used the Empyrean Nuclear Reactor to upgrade the glove. This time, he added Blake's rod, the masked man sabre and Fu Tian's blade.
Erian hesitated but touched the metal door of the safe and then command absorb.
Nothing happened even after a second. Erian shook his head at himself but suddenly, they all vanished into the Empyrean Fission reactor like a smoke, spinning within the centrifuge with insane speed. Along with the vault door.
Erian was stunned speechless. He didn't think it would work, but it did! Erian didn't even bother with the end result of the glove. He immediately entered into the safe and was shocked!
The main trade of the Black Tiger gang were serums. They collect serums from scavengers everyday and sell them to those rich folks in town and even the city sometimes.
Large amount of money was also involved, judging by the pile of memt just laying here. Erian had never seen so much money in his life. Apart from that, a few gene cores were also stored in the corner of the safe.
Not wasting a single minute, Erian absorbed the normal serums like the Energy Replenishing serum and low-grade strengthening serum. He aslo absorbed the energy of the seven failed product, mid-grade serums as well as the energy from the cores.
The highest grade serum was the five failed product mid-grade serums, increasing his energy points by a notch. Erian wasn't one to waste things, he grabbed a bag and placed all of the cash within. The cash wasn't in bronx, but in Silvas instead. There were about 100,000 Silvas, which amounted to a million bronx. Erian had no idea how to even spend such an amount.
The bag was bulging a little bit, but Erian was a scavenger, so one would think it was only a few syringes or clothings that were in the bag, nothing with noticing.
Making sure he didn't leave anything out, he happily excited the safe and quickly left the pair of the Black Tiger Gang. Today, the gang seize to exist.

Erian didn't go to old Jon as expected but instead directly headed towards a Cybercafe. It was fifteen more days to the entrance exam and he wanted to know what venue had been chosen for it.
"Erian?" The one who spoke was a young worker, Newfang. He was also a fellow scavenger. Erian was surprised seeing him here.
"Newfang, You work here?" Erian glanced around and then toward then towards the young man in confusion. There was no between them.
"There was a quota, and I got lucky getting the job. What are YOU doing here?" The young man asked, his face revealing his confusion.
