    Gilmore found out that the Davis family from Oakhaven had sent masters to ce to protect the


    gold miningpany.


    It seemed that the Davis Group was very thoughtful about the gold minepany in ce.


    With the masters sent by the Davis Group, the gold mine would be fine.


    Gilmore and Mr. Zellweger had a pleasant chat in the office.


    Afterward, Mr. Zellweger took Gilmore and hispanions for a tour around the mine.


    Inside the mine, many workers were busy at their tasks. Gilmore noticed that most of them were


    from Eldoria.


    Upon inquiry, Mr. Zellweger exined that Eldorians were preferred as they were not only


    trustworthy but also hardworking


    Conversely, the people from ce tended to bezy and dishonest, often hiding away little nuggets


    of gold for themselves.


    Hence, Eldorian entrepreneurs abroad often preferred hiring workers from back home.


    The tour didn’t reveal much more than a busy mine, which wasn’t all that interesting to look at.


    Thanking Mr. Zellweger for his hospitality, Gilmore was ready to leave the mine.


    However, just as he, Lilian, and ire were about to head down the mountain, Jaey’s phone rang,


    He answered the call immediately.


    After a brief conversation, Jaey’s expression darkened as if he’d just received some bad news.


    Finally, he hurriedly said into the phone, “Hold them off, don’t let these rascals into the mine. I’m


    calling for backup.” After hanging up, Jaey looked exceptionally troubled,


    “What’s wrong, Jaey?” Mr. Zellweger asked, concerncing his voice.


    “Mr. Zellweger, it’s trouble. Conor at the mountain base said a group from ce is here. the gold


    mine,” Jaey reported with a serious look.


    They want to


    to meet you, and discuss


    Mr. Zellweger responded with a cold smile, “These cians are like bad pennies, always turning


    up.


    “More troublemakers?” Gilmore inquired.


    Mr. Zellweger replied Gilmore with a smile, “Mr. Reed, we’ve grown used to this,


    “There will always be local thugs, under various pretexts, trying to give us a hard time, likely at the


    behest of some


    consortiums behind ce.


    “They just want to drive us away and take over the gold mine.


    “Mr. Reed, you and your friends should wait in my office. I’ll handle this. “Mr. Zellweger said to


    Gilmore, a hint of apology in


    However, Gilmore responded to Mr. Zellweger, “No, Mr. Zellweger, I want toe with you to see


    for myself how these people from ce act shamelessly


    But Mr. Zellweger was worried. “Mr. Reed, it might be better if you stay behind. There’s bound to be


    a sculle between our


    men and these local ce thugs. What if you get hurt?”


    Gilmore said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Zellweger. I’ve also learned martial arts for several years. It’s not a


    big deal.”


    Mr. Zellweger looked surprised, clearly not expecting Gilmore to be versed in martial arts.


    He then nced at Lilian. ire, and the otherdies by Gilmores side and said, “What about your


    friends?”


    Gilmoreughed and said, “Like me, she’s also trained in martial arts. She’ll be fine.”


    Hearing this, Mr. Zellweger couldn’t find a reason to refuse, so he said, “Alright then! Mr. Reed, if


    you wish toe with us. that’s fine. Just be extra careful”


    “Thank you for the warning. Mr. Zellweger. We’ll be cautious, Gilmore replied with a nod


    Mr. Zellweger then turned to Jaey, his expression turning serious “Gather our people and head


    down to the base of the


    mountain


    Jacy nodded.


    Then he pulled out his phone and made a few calls.


    Afterward, Jaey informed Mr. Zellweger, I’ve notified several team leaders. They’re rounding up our


    masters and will meet in front of thepany building.


    “Good Ler’s head there now,” Mr. Zellweger responded


    “Yes, Mr. Zellweger, Jaey answered.


    Then, Mr. Zellweger Gilmore. Jaey, and the others returned to the gate of thepany’s building


    from the mining area.


    There. nearly a hundred people had assembled in orderly rows. They were young, robust, and full


    of life, like tigers ready to pounce, their eyes gleaming and bodies radiating a powerful aura


    Gilmore noticed that these masters, over a hundred in number, ranged from first–rate martialists to


    master martialists in martial arts.


    A decent mid–range level among the warriors..


    They were by no means weak, and more than capable of handling the riff–raff from ce.


    Gilmore couldn’t help but ask Jaey in a low voice, “Mr. Jetpuria, these are yourpany’s


    masters?”


    Jary nodded to Gilmore and whispered, ‘Ourpany has over a hundred masters forming the


    mining guard squad.”


    “And which sect in Eldoria do these masters from? Cilmore inquired further.


    Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    “Mr. Reed, theye from various small to medium martial arts schools in Eldoria. Too many to


    name all at once.” Jacy exined.


    Gilmore nodded, believing Jary wasn’t misleading him.


    It seemed that the masters who were hired by the Davis Group to protect ce’s gold mine were


    all from some small and


    medium–sized serta.


    It was also because of the small and medium–sized sects that many masters could not see hope


    and had to find another way.


    As for the masters who had left their sects with uncertain prospects, they were recruited by the


    Davis Group with a lot of money and were sent to protect the gold mine in ce.

    Mr. Zellweger said impassionedly to the 100 martialists gathered in front of thepany’s building.


    There were too many ruffians and bullies in ce.


    How can the men of Eldoria be afraid of these gangsters?


    After Mr. Zellweger gave a speech, all the martialist guards were excited and shouted that they


    wanted to beat the gangsters of ce so hard that they couldn’t take care of themselves.


    All the martialist guards, led by Mr. Zellweger, quickly went down the mountain.


    Gilmore. Lilian, ire, and theirpanions followed closely behind.


    At the foot of the mountain.


    Screams of pain echoed.


    A group of warriors guarding the mountain path were struck down by several towering, burly men


    from ce. None of the guards could get back on their feet.


    There were about twenty or thirty men from ce, led by a middle–aged man in a decent suit and


    tie: resembling a businessman


    The middle–aged man dressed as a businessman had a cold look in his eyes. Looking at the dozen


    martialists guards of the gold minepany lying on the ground, he could only disdain them.


    They looked at these injured martialists as if they were looking at ants.


    “Is the mine’s manager not here yet? If I don’t see him in ten minutes. I’ll have no choice but to send


    you on your way, the man said, a terrifying gleam in his eyes, scarier than a devil’s.


    Then, ten minutester.


    Ten minutester, the businessman, Apollo, smirked coldly. “It seems your manager doesn’t take


    me seriously.”


    “Time’s up. You can meet your end now”


    After that, Apollo looked at the masters around him and ordered, “Kill them all.”


    “Yes, Mr. Baxter.”


    All the men of ce immediately walked to the injured masters on the ground.


    These ce men took out a shining dagger from their coat.


    But


    just as they were about to strike the injured masters, a stern voice rang out, “Stop!”


    Apollo and his men looked up.


    Then they saw Mr. Zellweger, Jaey, Gilmore, and the others.


    Seeing Mr. Zellweger, Apollo’s smile oozed smugness.


    Mr. Zellweger of the miningpany, you’ve finally arrived, Apollo said with a mocking smile


    Mr Zellweger faced Apollo and asked, “Sir, I don’t believe we’ve met. What business do you have


    with me?”
