The sunset shone through the window and spilled into the dormitory, a golden hue that illuminated Tang Don's twisted face.

  "Who moved my backpack?"

  Bang! Tong Dun's fist slammed onto the table, shattering it instantly.

  The roar spread throughout the entire building, and door after door opened, peeking in the direction of 308.

  "Big brother, what's wrong?"

  "Was something stolen?"

  The trusted followers rushed in, all with a face of anger.

  "Drive out those miners, search them one by one, find them and then kill them."

  As Downton fought and defeated more miners, his followers became more and more devoted to him, and they also gained more courage and confidence.

  "It's all right." Tong Dun blamed himself and took out a sharpened iron pipe from under the quilt, walking into the corridor.

  "What to do, big brother?" The trusted followers couldn't come up with a solution, after all, there were too many people who had the opportunity and motive to commit the crime. The frequent loss of items in the miner's dormitory was already a common occurrence, it was just unexpected that they even dared to steal the team leader, truly reckless.

  "Hold on!" After comforting his subordinates, Tang Dong scanned the corridor, looking at the miners who were stretching their necks to take a peek, and shouted loudly, "It was that bastard who entered my dormitory, took away my things. Whoever knows, tell me, can get a reward of 1,000 gold coins."

  A commotion arose, the miners were in an uproar, staring at Danton in astonishment. If he had saved and spent carefully, one thousand gold coins would have been enough for them to squander for five or six years.

  The Mo Dian can be said to be everything to Tang Don, related to his future. Seeing it lost, in that instant, he almost felt the sky had collapsed. However, he knew that anger and regret were useless, so he forced himself to calm down and quickly think of a way to get it back.

  "Have you really got a thousand gold coins?" shouted one of the miners.

  "Nonsense!" Tong Dun glared over and said, "Go, pull him out."

  The young followers were like wolves and tigers, rushing forward fiercely. The miners saw that things were not good and hastily closed the door, but it was no use.

  The trusted followers broke open the door, gave him a good beating, and after the miner had been brought to his senses, they dragged him out and pulled him before Tongdon.

  "What do you know? Don't worry, just say it out loud, and I'll pay a thousand gold coins." Tang Dun tried to keep his tone calm. The magic book looked like an ordinary useless old book from the outside, if he showed too much concern, it might attract the attention of the person who took it away.

  "I... I don't know anything, I was just casually asking." The miner hastily explained, now regretting it to death, and shouldn't have spoken out of turn earlier.

  Looking at the miner's tangled expression, it shouldn't be like telling a lie, but Downton was worried that he had misjudged, so he slightly raised his chin and said, "Beat him."

  The trusted followers immediately took action.

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  The miserable state of the unlucky miner scared everyone else into closing their doors, deeply afraid of being targeted by Tong Dun.

  "Where to start? Looking at the messy state of the room, and the signs of forced entry on the door and cabinet, it's clear that this was a violent break-in. That would have made a lot of noise." Downton looked around the dormitory again, making deductions from the clues, "This suggests that 'the guy' was almost openly robbing, without any intention of hiding. So someone must have seen something."

  "Speak quickly!" The confidants beat up the miners, and some even suggested that a few more be dragged out.

  Danton knew he was too hasty, if he waited a bit longer to make his move, there would definitely be people asking whether the reward would be paid, and among these people, there should be someone who had seen the thief, of course, maybe after most miners fell asleep, someone would come looking for him.

  "It may have been done by some big shot's underling, these miners are worried about being retaliated against, even with a huge gold coin reward, they don't dare to say anything now."

  Downton walked down the corridor, his long military boots making crisp sounds on the floor.

  He walked up to room 318 and gave the door a once-over, taking in the smudges of dirt on it. Then he lifted his leg and kicked it open.

  "Haha, a thousand gold coins, I'd rather not have them than see him get away with it. And as for you guys, no one is allowed to tell him." Nelson laughed with a sense of revenge and threatened his fellow dormitory miners.

  The miners were originally accompanied by smiles, but with a loud bang, they saw the door slammed against the wall, and Tong Dun broke in with a frosty face, and they all froze.

  "Ah!" Nelson froze, still wondering if his previous words had been overheard by Downton, who strode purposefully towards him.

  "I don't know anything!" Nelson exclaimed subconsciously.

  Bang! Tong Dun swung out the iron pipe and heavily struck it on his chest, with a cracking sound of bones, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground wailing.

  "You were in the dorm nursing your wounds, so you must have seen who kicked open my door." Tongdon lifted his leg and kicked Nelson violently. "So don't even think about lying to me."

  "Stop it, please!" Nelson begged, coughing up blood that splattered onto the floor.

  The other miners were as silent as cicadas in winter.

  "Still won't talk? Then you can just die." Tangdon kicked Nelson in the face, crushing his nose, then turned to the next target.

  "No, I'm saying it was Otsu's gang that broke into your dormitory. They must have taken your things."

  The miners looked at Tong Dun, who was emitting a fierce aura, and were so frightened that they directly knelt down on the ground.

  "Stop fighting, go and bring all the iron pipes you can find." Tong Dun returned to the corridor, instructing his subordinates. The iron pipe in his hand was as thick as a thumb, nearly one meter long, with a sharpened tip that could be used as a bayonet.

  The attendants immediately took action. In order to defend themselves and fight, they had prepared such things in advance. Just a moment later, there were already twenty or thirty piled up in front of Tang Dun.

  "Is it enough? Why don't we use knives?" The trusted followers also armed themselves, ready to follow Tang Dun to fight.

  "Are you afraid?" Tang Don made a simple backpack with a bed sheet, put it on his back, and then inserted the iron pipe into it, just exposing a section, convenient for taking out.

  "We're not afraid!" his loyal followers shouted.

  "Alright, take me to see Osborn the head miner." Danton glanced at these three young trusted miners and walked out of the dormitory building. There were six more trusted ones who hadn't arrived, obviously hiding and not coming.

  Downton was bound to clash with the notorious and formidable foreman, and some of the miners didn't think he would win.

  The roar just now had already alarmed the entire floor, and the miners were all watching the commotion over here. Seeing Tang Don go to the foreman's building, they immediately got excited and also rushed out to watch the excitement.

  The Gongtou Building is located in the northeast corner of the dormitory area, and its environment is quite good due to its proximity to the main building's villa. Not only do the big bosses and their trusted subordinates live here, but also a large number of foremen, as well as mercenaries and bodyguards who were hired by the new boss at a high price.

  Tang Dun walked to the bottom of the workshop building in less than three minutes.

  It was just after dinner time and the miners were idle, seeing this large crowd of people, they naturally followed along, so the crowd grew larger and larger.

  "Auster, get out!" Tong Dun roared.

  "Has this kid gone mad? He's actually causing trouble under the boss's building?"

  "You ignorant fool, thinking you can just fight your way to being a great leader? You're completely brainless."

  "Haha, why are you guys worrying about this? It's quite entertaining to watch him get beaten half to death, just think of it as a way to pass the time."

  The miners were talking loudly among themselves and didn't think much of Tang Don, even the three confidants' faces began to show a hint of panic.

  "Who's yelling? Scram! Don't disturb old man's sleep."

  Crash! An iron kettle smashed the glass and fell from the fifth floor, hitting the ground with a loud bang. The big boss was not satisfied.

  "Os, you're looking for trouble, hurry up and solve it."

  "Even a young miner like him dares to cause trouble for you, Oss. Where did you put your face?"

  Some windows on the top floor of the workshop building opened and some people teased Os, looking down at the same time.

  Downton noticed that when the big bosses appeared, the crowd below immediately closed their mouths, the noise disappeared, and they fell silent.

  "Is that you? Hmph, if you've got the guts, come on up and find me!" Os shouted from the fifth floor, sticking his head out to take a look, still holding a deck of cards in his hand.

  "What's going on? It's all over."

  The supervisor in deep black uniform appeared. Normally, they wouldn't bother with such things, but this was under the villa of the person in charge, and it had blown up big, so they couldn't just ignore it and walk away.

  Some timid miners left, but more gathered here, waiting to see a good show, because that young man completely ignored the foreman.

  "Austin, you want to die? I'll fulfill your wish!" Tong Dun walked towards the foreman's building. "The three of you stay here."

  Three close followers hesitated for a moment and then followed him up.

  "Halt! This is no place for you to come!" One of the foremen stretched out his hand to block Tang Don, while another directly swung the black club in his hand and smashed it towards Tang Don's head.

  Dangton quickly pulled out an iron pipe and swung it with great force, blocking the foreman's club before swinging it into his face.

  Pffft, the foreman's teeth were all knocked out and he spat them out mixed with blood.

  The miners were shocked and exclaimed, "Tang Dun is so fierce! He even dares to hit the foreman. Is he tired of living?"

  Offending the big boss is okay, just find a new backer and you won't necessarily die, but offending the foreman means certain death, because they are the most powerful force in the mine.

  "Have you gone mad?" Another overseer was startled and wanted to pull Tong Dun away.

  Dangton kicked his leg and it landed on his belly, causing the foreman to spit out sour water and kneel down to the ground.

  A shrill whistle pierced the air, and more foremen hastily put on their clothes and rushed out of the dormitory building. Their short clubs could be twisted open to reveal a short sword inside, which glinted with a sharp, cold light in the fading sunlight.

  "Even if you kowtowed and begged for mercy today, you're dead meat." The foreman was almost out of breath. He was certain that the new boss was watching from the villa, and if he didn't handle this conflict properly, he'd probably be demoted.

  Tang Dun hesitated whether to make a big move, rushing into the foreman's building, taking back the magic book, and making him yield to the supervisor, even if it was just a temporary compromise, he didn't want to do it.

  "If I go in there with my tail between my legs, I'm afraid even the Magister will look down on me." Danton muttered to himself, gripping his iron pipe tightly as he prepared to charge in.

  "Get out of the way and let him in." A loud and rude voice suddenly rang out, causing the supervisors' faces to change greatly.
