Success

A loud, deafening boom resounded as the thick concrete wall caved inwards, crumbling to the ground in a shower of debris.

The group had smashed their way through the wall and into the police department's archives room, where the safe containing their target was located.

The room was renowned for its impenetrability, as anyone attempting to force their way in from the front would have to navigate a gauntlet of security measures and heavily armed officers.

However, the police had overlooked the less obvious entry point: the garage. It was a vulnerability they had assumed would never be exploited. The idea of someone crashing through the wall seemed far-fetched, and Toretto and his crew were not known for their reckless behavior.

Toretto and Brian quickly attached one end of a steel cable they had brought to the safe while the other was firmly anchored to their two armored cars.

(BANG!)

(BANG!)

(BANG!)

(BANG!)

.....

....

The loud thundering sound of gunfire filled the air as Jack's men unleashed the armored cars MI6 Vulcan Cannons, named "The Grim Reapers."

The guns were firing at their full capacity (6,000 rounds per minute), the bullets spewing out rapidly as the six barrels spun in high RPMs, chewing through the pile of ammunition at an alarming rate.

The police officers who had just arrived on the scene were caught off guard and immediately retreated, unable to withstand the fury of such powerful weapons. They didn't want to risk their lives for the sake of a drug lord's money, and many of them even discarded their guns and fled the scene in fear.

Meanwhile, Reyes was alerted by the commotion and quickly made his way to the file room where his money and livelihood were being kept. He was determined to make sure they wouldn't get away with it.

Toretto and Brian, who were now attached to the steel cable and the safe, had retreated to their respective cars, shut the doors, fastened their seat belts, and floored the accelerator, pushing their engines to the brink of their capabilities. The tires screeched against the pavement as white smoke billowed out from the wheels.

It's a strange irony that sometimes, the things we believe to be unbreakable can turn out to be weak. The most embarrassing thing is when you build the strongest safe in the world, but then install it on a flimsy wall.

This was the case here, the safe was incredibly sturdy and challenging to open, but it was only anchored to the concrete wall by a few bolts.

Toretto and Brian's cars successfully pulled the safe out of the wall. At the same time, Jack's men drove the armored vehicles to cover their escape.

Reyes arrived at the archives room to find his money, a huge safe containing $100 million in cash, had been taken away. Reyes was shocked as he watched his money, his lifeblood, disappear into the distance.

"Chase! Catch them!" Reyes shouted frantically.

"Hurry, chase them!" The chief of the police station quickly issued the order.

But, few police officers followed his command. They were overwhelmed by fear and would rather quit their job than be killed.

Except for some of Reyes's men, the rest of the policemen were only half-heartedly chasing Toretto and Brian. They were pretending to be doing their best. But in fact, the distance between them and Toretto remained constant. Jack was pleasantly surprised by the acting skills of those policemen.

He then manipulated the traffic lights in the city according to the plan, which made it easier for Toretto and Brian to escape and hard for the police and Reyes's men to catch up.

With the Vulcan Cannon-equipped armored vehicle, they had nothing to worry about, especially when facing a group of policemen armed with only pistols and shotguns.

"It seems my job is effortless," Jack tapped on the keyboard. Suddenly, the traffic lights of the entire city were all changed to the color he had set.

"Everyone, according to the plan, follows the original route. If there are unexpected circumstances, pay attention to communication."

"The whole city is cooperating with you two," Jack laughed, "Is there a better racing venue? So let it rip..."

"Alright," Toretto and Brian grinned as they shifted the car to high gear and engaged the nitrous.

By controlling traffic lights, Jack can not only stop Reyes's men and the police but also the citizens, which means he can control the flow of people and perform operations such as releasing, emptying, blocking, and so on.

For example, after Toretto and Brian drove the giant safe to pass by an intersection, Jack changed the traffic lights, so when the police and Reyes chased them, they were directly cut off by the surging traffic!

They didn't care about ramming the citizens' cars, but their vehicles had not undergone any modification. At this speed and traffic density, they can only stop the vehicle obediently or choose a detour!

However, for Jack, who controls the transportation network of the entire city, changing the traffic lights in other places and controlling their travel routes is a piece of cake.

With Jack's help, Toretto and Brian could escape easily and didn't encounter much resistance. Brian even thought it was a bit outrageous because it was not a death race like he assumed, but more like a peaceful evening cruise at the beach!

"This is really crazy!" Roman exclaimed in disbelief, "Is this really a robbery? I suspect we are on a joyride!"

"Thank you for the compliment Roman," Jack said with a smirk.

"Same old Jack," Toretto shook his head.

So, something strange happened. The city has become empty, at least on the path of Toretto and the others.

They had dealt with the small fry chasing them, went directly to the dark bridge hole of an overpass in the plan, and then played a game of stealing beams and changing pillars.

Toretto and Brian drove the vehicle apart, passing by both sides of the truck. The safe in the middle was directly into the truck on the road provided by the thick sloping iron plate.

On both sides of the truck, the Spanish duo quickly untied the steel cable from the safe and then connected it to a fake safe on the front of the truck before being pulled by Toretto and Brian's cars. They then closed the truck's back door and returned to the compartment.

Gisele, who was in charge of driving the truck, moved it toward another location they had previously decided. At the same time, Jack also released control of the traffic lights and deleted all traces of his involvement.

As they approached the bridge, Toretto and Brian, following their pre-planned strategy, flicked their tails in tandem and quickly activated the mechanism that would cut the steel cable, causing the safe to fly off the bridge, smash the guard rail, and fall into the river.

Toretto and Brian quickly drove away from the scene. Reyes, who had been chasing them, arrived at the river and saw his safe fly into the river.

"Hurry up and find someone to fish it up!" Reyes shouted frantically

"Quick!!"

It is unknown whether Reyes succeeded in salvaging the safe and whether he was content with its contents. Still, it is a better outcome than being killed by Hobbes, like in the original movie.

[ At The Warehouse ]

Roman anxiously waited for Taj to open the heavy safe, remembering something he had said.

"So, we won't be killing Reyes?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Roman saw the eyes of everyone around him. That look...

"Hey!" Roman exclaimed,

"What do you guys look at me doing like this? Did I say something wrong?"

"Yup," Brian sighed, saying that Roman is also his life-and-death friend, and he can't watch him continue to be so naive.

"Actually, Reyes's condition right now is worse. If we kill him, it will only be an escape route for him."

"Why?" Roman asked, puzzled.

"Because of the 100 million dollars," Brian replied,

"How much of the 100 million dollars is Reyes's?"

"Um... isn't this all his money?" Roman was taken aback.

"Even if it's is true. It's impossible to just take out 100 million dollars in cash," Jack, who was getting fed an orange by Gisele, interjected.

"Yes, and even if Reyes didn't save money, most of the 100 million dollars are not his, but the funds he needs to do business," Brian nodded and added,

"This one hundred million dollar was taken away by us. If he wants to do business in the short term, it can be even more difficult."

Toretto said with his hands in his arms, "Without money, there will be no subordinates to follow him, and no government will protect him.

When he is rich and powerful, he holds the handles of those officials in his hand. But now he no longer can protect himself."

"What's more, a large part of the money must belong to other people," Jack concluded.

"A combination of these factors shows that even if we don't deal with him, someone will deal with him sooner or later, and his end will definitely be more miserable than death in our hands."

"Rather than worry about his fate, let's look forward to whether I can get this Beauty to open for me?" Taj, who had been busy for a long time, finally found a space to interrupt.
