"Why did you have to steal?" asked Molly. She just couldn't understand the need to steal something in such high status at all.
"Because they are all top wines and many of them can't be found in the market." It was Eric who answered her as he continued to unlock the gate. At the same time, a slight click from the door's lock. He successfully did it.
"That was really easy." Eric snickered as he shot Molly a glance. It was as if he was saying, 'not worth my efforts'. He let out a slight laugh when he looked at the fingerprint lock. He then took out a small box from his pocket and grab the very thin glove that was inside it. He wore the glove and used his gloved hand to press on the button. Soon enough and another clicking sound was heard. Eric said with disdain, "Everybody's fingerprint data is within Dragon Island's data bank. Tsk! Why didn't Uncle Hawk make it more challenging?"
Hearing what Eric said, Brian calmly entered the cellar together with Molly and said, "We haven't come here to steal wine for almost five or six years. I'm afraid Uncle Hark has forgotten about this."
That made Eric frown slightly and asked, "So is it too easy for us?"
"No, the challenge is not opening the door but to find that specific wine in the cellar." Brian reminded Eric. "Don't forget that we only have ten minutes in total," added Brian.
"Why do we have only ten minutes?" Molly couldn't understand a thing again.
Thus, Brian gave Molly another look and replied, "Uncle Hawk arrange all his wine irregularly. The thermostatic control in the cellar can only hold the temperature stable for ten minutes."
"Brian, don't you want to help?" complained Eric to him in a low voice.
However, Brian just gave a slight smile and answered, "You go to the left and I go to the right. We must take out that bottle of the ChateauD'yuem white wine of 1784!"
They had arrived at the entrance of the cellar while discussing. Eric turned to Brian and signaled the man with his eyes, then he said to Molly, "Little Molly, you stay here and wait."
Molly did not know why she felt nervous. She didn't know much about wine nor did she know how special the bottle of wine was. Nevertheless, she had a feeling that the wine must be very very precious. Thus, she said to them, "Okay, I'll stay and wait for you guys."
Eric smiled at her, "I will bring a bottle of sparkling wine Uncle Hawk collected here." Finishing the talk, he and Brian looked at each other with their hands on the door. Not a second after and they both pushed the door of the cellar and the two of them disappeared inside that room quickly.
They ran in two different directions after they got in and it was easy to see how familiar they were to the cellar. They started searching the cellar for that wine as quickly as they could. Meanwhile, inside the Silence Bar, the melodious saxophone was playing some classical music. People in the bar were drowsing in the world of luxury.
In the exclusive room, Mark was playing a new game with his Ipad attentively while Hawk Long and Spark Su were chatting with wine glasses in their hands.
"Mr. Long, are you sure that Eric and Brian will come here?" Spark asked puzzledly. The person beside him was totally different from any other people of the Long Family. Instead of having the domineering and dangerous aura, Hawk Long always carried this sense of elegance and gentleness as if nothing could make him emotional.
Hawk swirled the glass in his hand slowly and replied to Spark in a calm tone. "All the problem have been solved and they must come to celebrate.
Spark still could not understand what Hawk meant. Today was the engagement ceremony of Eric Long, so generally Hawk Long must attend it. However, Hawk Long actually did not go. At first, Spark thought it should be because Hawk Long had gradually disappeared from the political field of Dragon Island. However, that wasn't his thought now as he changed his mind. Hawk was probably aware earlier that the engagement ceremony would be a family drama.
