Universe Storage Box

Outside the city, under a tall mountain, Bruce was driving his suspended sports car. By the time he got there, a few people had already arrived. These people were the people he usually played with, and they had agreed to go up the mountain together today.    

Their climbing was different from other people's. Others were climbing the mountain. They were climbing along the cliff in front of them, which was different from the others. Their unique behavior would attract their attention. This was what they needed and what they enjoyed.    

"Yeah, you guys came very early." Bruce said.    

"We are here to wait for you. It was embarrassing to run last time. I thought you wouldn't dare to come today." One of the young men said.    

When Bruce heard him talk about running the last time, a trace of gloominess flashed across his eyes. That incident had already made him a joke in this circle. He estimated that he would be laughed at for a long time.    

"Hmph, the last time was an accident. It's not the first time we did something like climbing the mountain today. Why would I be afraid?" Bruce said.    

The young man shrugged and did not say anything. Someone next to him said, "Alright, stop talking and delay the time. Let's start. We will talk when we reach the top of the mountain."    

Everyone nodded. Then, they took out the rock climbing gloves they had prepared. Bruce looked at their gloves and had an inexplicable smile on his face. Last time, he had embarrassed himself, but today, he wanted to make them look at him in a new light!    

Bruce also took out his gloves, but when he put them on, he frowned because he felt completely different. When he wore them before, they were on his hands. It was very comfortable, but now it made him feel a little rough. The difference between these two feelings was very obvious.    

Bruce, who felt that something was wrong, had a slight change in expression. After that, he hurriedly looked at the spot between his right thumb and index finger. Sure enough, he did not see the small protrusion there.    

"What exactly is going on? Why is that protrusion gone?" Bruce thought in a panic.    

Although this was the first time he had borrowed this glove, however, he had seen his brother use it many times before. Thus, he was very familiar with this glove, and he had never seen it disappear before. He had also never heard his brother mention it.    

"Could it be that this glove has been replaced?" As he rubbed the surface of the glove, the rough feeling became even stronger. He thought of a certain possibility, although it was not very likely.    

Without the protrusion, there was naturally no way to release the magic threads. Bruce put the glove on and went to the side of the mountain, wanting to verify his thoughts.    

"As expected, who is it? How dare you steal my things?!" Bruce looked at his glove. After touching the mountain, there was no sign of it being attached to it. He roared in his heart, but his face did not show it at all. Otherwise, the people next to him would know about it. It was inevitable to laugh at him, although it wasn't necessarily malicious. However, he did not like that feeling.    

"Bruce, what are you dawdling for? Let's start."    

"Hurry up, you're so fussy even when you wear gloves. Don't tell me you're a woman? Hahaha. "    

The others were already dressed, including the gloves used for climbing. Helmet, knee protection, etc., and when they were about to start climbing... They found Bruce standing there in a daze. No one knew what he was thinking. Other than gloves, he hadn't even started wearing anything else.    

"You guys climb up first. I have something else to do, so I'll be leaving first." Bruce said. After that, he didn't care what the others said. He had already climbed onto his suspended sports car and left.    

"This guy actually escaped again. It's just a rock climbing glove. It's impossible that he doesn't have it."    

"Could it be that something really happened to him?"    

"Who knows? This guy has been acting weird lately. Forget about him. Let's climb on our own."    

"Right, let's start."    

Everyone discussed for a while about Bruce's leaving figure. Then, they did not take it seriously and continued climbing.    

Bruce, who was driving his suspended sports car, looked more and more gloomy. There was no one else around. He did not need to hide his emotions anymore.    

"Bruce slammed the steering wheel hard. "Don't let me know who you are. Otherwise, I will skin you alive!"    

Bruce was now sure that his glove had been wrapped by someone, and where he lived. That place was heavily guarded, and ordinary people would not be able to come in. Therefore, he suspected that the pair of gloves had been stolen by the maids at home. He decided to go back and investigate. As long as he could find out who it was, no matter who it was, he would never let that person go. He dared to steal his things. He was too bold.    

At the same time, deep in Bruce's heart, he was also afraid that the other party had already transferred or sold the gloves. If that was the case, he wouldn't be able to explain it to his brother. One should know that his brother really liked the pair of gloves. Once he knew that he had lost them, he would definitely be blamed.    

When Bruce was busy going back to investigate the thieves, in a well-equipped laboratory, a group of people in white coats were busy.    

This laboratory was under the jurisdiction of Bruce's family, and was responsible for some research. It included the updates of the products, modification of the equipment, and some patented inventions. Every year, the Chawton Family that Bruce was in would invest a large amount of money into this laboratory. It would be used for research.    

Of course, they had also obtained a very good report. It was because of the existence of this laboratory that their family could obtain more advanced technology. Hence, in many aspects, they were ahead of other families.    

As for the other families in this city, although they had started to pay attention to the investment of the laboratory over the years, there was still quite a big gap compared to the laboratories of the Chawton Family that they had been operating for many years.    

Of course, the competition between the families was also very cruel. The other families definitely wouldn't be willing to be suppressed by Bruce's family forever. Therefore... They used various methods to suppress Bruce's family, including stealing the latest research results of Bruce's family. Furthermore, they had done it many times. Of course, they wouldn't expose their identity. Even if Bruce's family knew that it was done by another family, there was no evidence. They wouldn't be able to say it out loud.    

The Chawton Family that Bruce belonged to naturally attached great importance to this aspect. Therefore, there were many defensive forces in the laboratory. Hence, the stealing actions of the other families did not succeed.    

However, those people obviously would not give up so easily. After all, once it succeeded, not only would it increase the abilities of their families... They would also be able to strike a blow to the family of Bruce, killing two birds with one stone. They wouldn't refuse.
