The Treasure Room was located beneath the Property Management Department, protected by a thick iron door.
Unlike the architectural style of the Property Management Department building, the iron door had no ornate decorations or exquisite carvings. It was even spotted with rust in places.
Somlay took out a palm-length brass key and inserted it into the keyhole. After he turned it a few times, the iron door emitted a crisp CLICK, then shuddered violently.
TAK, TAK-TAK, CLICK... A cascade of sounds followed as gears began to turn behind the door.
Then, the iron door slowly opened outwards.
Somlay took a few steps back and motioned for the others to retreat to a safe distance.
Lisi frowned. "That sound is so grating. Somlay, your Property Management Department is so well-funded, can't you get some better protective measures?"
"Better?" Somlay sneered. "This is an iron gate specially commissioned by the former Director. Its internal designation is 'Prism'."
