Chapter 149 Admission

It was evident that Gabriel's words had moved Barry.

He calmed down significantly, pondering for a long time in his chair.

After about a minute, Barry finally spoke up.

"Yes, I took the Blood Scripture!"

With this statement, Zoe's inference was thoroughly validated.

Santos snorted in response.

Barry didn't mind his reaction. He sighed and said, "When Mr. Adams reported to me about the note from Robin Hood, I didn't pay much attention at first. But then, unexpectedly, the authorities called me and demanded that I protect the Blood Scripture at all costs.

"Only then did I start to take this matter seriously. I collected information about the thief's previous thefts and discovered that he encountered equally stringent security measures but still succeeded.

"Worried about the loss of the Blood Scripture, I racked my brains and came up with a plan to preemptively take it, causing Robin Hood to lose his target.

"I believed that this approach was the safest and could definitely protect the Blood Scripture.

"The fewer people who knew about this plan, the better. So, I used the guise of conducting an inspection and had Mr. Adams and the others showcase their emergency plans. Then, during the power outage, I quietly took the Blood Scripture from the box."

Listening to Barry's account, Santos sighed.

Not only did it match Zoe's deductions perfectly, but it also left him frustrated.

However, he could only endure it silently.

"After you took the Blood Scripture, where did you put it? And how was it lost afterward?" Gabriel asked urgently.

The previous events were already known.

Now the most crucial thing was to figure out how the Blood Scripture was lost afterward.

"How did you even find out that the Blood Scripture went missing after I took it?" Barry was extremely surprised.

Even though he had taken the Blood Scripture, there was absolutely no way anyone knew.

Santos said in a solemn tone, "If the Blood Scripture wasn't lost, would you have been scolded with me during the video conference?"

"Mr. Sullivan, let's put this matter aside for now and focus on how the Blood Scripture was lost," Gabriel urged.

Barry nodded and continued, "After I took the Blood Scripture, I returned to my office and placed it in the safe under my desk.

"Because it was in the State Assembly, and my safe was highly secure. It was almost impossible to open it without the password.

"That's why I confidently chose that location.

"But strangely enough, the next morning, I called Mr. Adams to inform him that I would be bringing the Blood Scripture to the meeting to surprise everyone.

"However, when I opened the safe, the Blood Scripture was gone."

"Gone?" Gabriel couldn't help but furrow his brows.

It was another case of mysterious disappearance.

He quickly stood up and asked, "Mr. Sullivan, can we take a look at your safe?"

"Yes, it's right here." Barry also stood up and pulled the leather chair back, making space.

Gabriel and the other two approached.

There sat a square, iron safe under the desk.

There was not even the slightest sign of damage.

"My safe is specially made with nine layers of password protection. It may appear small, but it's very sturdy. Even if you use cutting tools, it would take several hours to open. As you can see, there are no signs of it being tampered with," Barry explained.

"Can we open it and take a look?" Gabriel asked.

At this point, he was puzzled and eager to know how the Blood Scripture had gone missing.

Barry hesitated, directly refusing, "There's nothing inside, except for some of my private belongings."

Gabriel couldn't help but feel annoyed, cursing in his heart.
