![]() And our heroin does exactly the opposite, taking the documents exactly to his enemies. Her father asks her only one thing, to destroy his research about Himiko since it would be dangerous to mankind if in wrong hands. She finds a lead where he might be and instead of receiving her inheritance and organizing an adequate expedition to look for him, she prefers to go to the pawnshop to raise money and travel alone. She does not go to the university and does not have money for anything while his fortune is administrated by executives. This wannabe Indiana Jones introduces Lara Croft, living in financial difficulties in London only because she does not acknowledge that her father, who is missing for seven years, is dead.
