"Miss Levisay, Mr. Cornell, this way, please," Mr. Smith invited respectfully, pointing at a row of drawers.

Katherine nodded and exchanged a glance with Joaquin before they traversed past several drawers and finally stopped in front of one particular drawer. In this row, the drawers were extremely large, as if they were filled with items.

"Miss Levisay, this is your grandfather's safe where he kept his belongings, and this is the key," Smith said as he handed a small and exquisitely crafted key to Katherine.

She accepted the key and turned it over in her palm, commenting, "I don't recall seeing a key with this design on the market."

Smith chuckled. "That's right. Your grandfather designed this key himself. Back when he stored his things here, his only wish was to forge the safe and the key as well as its lock according to his instructions, and this is the only one we have in the bank."

At his words, a spark appeared in Katherine's eyes as she had an idea of what Darren had been planning. He probably expected someone to secretly sneak into this place early on. Although Regal Summit Bank's security system was second to none in the country, nothing could be certain, and Darren did this to ensure an extra layer of protection.

Hence, even if someone had come all the way to this place from the outside world, it would still be a fairly difficult feat to open the lock that was one of its kind in the entire world, and they wouldn't be able to take the safe with them nor have the spare time to investigate the lock either.

"Mr. Smith, thank you so much for helping my grandfather take care of this key for so many years."

The fact that Darren had handed such an important key to Mr. Smith showed that he trusted him, and there was a trace of respect in Katherine's gaze as she turned to him once more.

Mr. Smith shook his hands. "You're being too courteous, Miss Levisay. As a matter of fact, it was my father who was on good terms with your grandfather, and it's my honor to obtain your grandfather's trust."
