"I completely agree with you, dead people can't speak!"

  Danton walked into the assembly hall with a lantern in one hand and a few pebbles in the other, strolling as if he were taking a leisurely walk in his own backyard.

  "How dare you show up again?" Recalling the last time he was beaten, Cook instinctively felt a hint of fear and looked at the man beside him.

  "Are you that arrogant Tang Don?" The man was nearly two meters tall, with a muscular physique that exuded power.

  He was called Kash, the first red club fighter under the command of Duoban Daguantou, and he didn't even put Ous in his eyes, let alone Tangton.

  The ore tax is an important source of income for the big bosses, and naturally cannot be cut off. More shifts will have to be sent out to intimidate those disobedient miners.

  "Stop hitting him! The master is here!" Tong Dun threw away the stone in his hand and hit one of the thugs who was beating a loyal servant, causing his head to crack and bleed.

  The miners breathed a sigh of relief when Tongdon appeared, and several 'confidants' even came over to him. No matter what, someone finally took the lead. When Tongdon was not around, they realized that directly facing the power of the big boss was terrifying.

  "Kid, you're quite bold!" The thugs dropped the young miner who had been beaten half to death and stood behind Kash. They weren't stupid; Tangdon was a mage, so it was enough for him to utter a few harsh words. As for fighting, that would be left to the boss to handle.

  "From today on, your mining tax will continue to be collected." Danton's one sentence caused a stir among the miners.

  "Foreman, didn't you say we wouldn't have to pay?" a middle-aged miner asked boldly, eliciting quite a few murmurs of agreement.

  "Ah, come on, take it!" Tandon handed over the oil lamp.

  The middle-aged miner hurried over, stretching out his hand to take the oil lamp, but Tong Dun raised his leg and kicked him hard in the stomach with his long military boots.

  Bang! The miner tumbled out, the oil lamp was knocked over, and a blaze erupted.

  The miners who were whispering to each other immediately shut their mouths and stared at this scene in shock and confusion.

  "It seems I was too kind to you all." Tang Don regretted, not to mention the big foreman, just a few thugs appeared and the miners didn't even dare to breathe, but they actually dared to question his decision, truly ungrateful.

  The miners didn't say a word, but the atmosphere changed. Occasionally, they would glance at Tongdon with hatred in their eyes, feeling that he had revealed his true nature and wanted to oppress them.

  "Scum!" A young miner couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath.

  "Haha, interesting!" Kash burst out laughing and teased Tongdon, "You're really a failed foreman."

  "You're right, you're just human trash." Tang Don ignored Kash and stared at the young miner, instructing his trusted aide, "Go, tear out his mouth."

  The attendants saw Tang Don was angry and didn't dare disobey orders, so they immediately rushed over.

  The young miner wanted to resist, but was knocked down and pressed to the ground in just a few moves. One of his trusted men didn't have any handy tools, so he picked up a sharp stone and smashed it into his mouth.

  A shrill cry of despair echoed out, and the miner spat out a mouthful of blood, mixed with several yellow teeth.

  Looking at their colleague's bloodied face, the miners were as silent as cicadas in winter, even their breathing slowed down, shrinking their necks, deeply afraid of being noticed by Tang Dun and getting into trouble.

  "Look at you, a bunch of trash!" Tang Zheng roared. "Why did my men get beaten? Wasn't it for your sake? For not paying the mining tax? What have you done? You just stood by and watched as they beat up the comrades who spoke out for you."

  Dangton walked towards a few miners nearby, his piercing eyes scanned over them, and the miners all lowered their heads, not daring to look him straight in the eye.

  "Wanting to guard one's purse but not wanting to pay with sweat and blood, where on earth is such a cheap deal? You tell me, I also want to do it."

  Tang Dun was furious and kicked his leg, but these big men didn't dare to dodge, gentle as sheep.

  "Rubbish! Rubbish! Rubbish! If you're not satisfied, come and fight me!" Tang Don roared, grabbing a miner by the collar and pulling him over. "I'm collecting mining taxes from you, not for those big bosses, but for the miners whose legs were broken."

  The miners were speechless, their mentality was actually easy to guess, wanting to protect their own interests, but being timid and afraid of trouble, even if a few people took the lead, unfortunately, they were too weak in martial arts and had not achieved anything before being taken down by the big bosses.

  With these examples of killing chickens to scare monkeys, miners were squeezed like worker ants.

  "Hey, I'm not here to watch you scold people." Kash frowned, "What's wrong with your brain? Why bother with whether these soft eggs can bear hardship or not?"

  Dangton still didn't look at Kash straight, turned away from the miner and looked at several thugs behind him. "Whoever made a move just now, break one of their own legs to apologize. Otherwise, if I make a move, you'll all be left with stumps."

  "Brother, don't waste words with him, hurry up and get rid of him. With this reputation, who knows, you might even become the big boss someday." Cook glared venomously at Tongdon, inciting Kash to take action.

  Tang Dun didn't die, and since Cook couldn't get back the position of foreman, he would have to go work as a regular miner, which was even more unbearable than death.

  "I'm telling you again, from today on, the ore tax is going up fivefold, not a single copper coin can be less."

  Kash's eyes widened in anger, thinking that if he didn't defeat the enemy army, his reputation would be even greater and his salary could increase significantly. As for becoming a great leader, he didn't dare to think about it, just look at Tangton's situation, on the second day, the big leaders had already united and gathered more than 20 magic users to kill him.

  Even if the big bosses are settled, there are still mine owners and supervisors waiting in the back. The power of the dagger mine is layered, one layer pressing on another. It's not just about being able to fight, but also about who will emerge victorious.

  "What are you? Wanting taxes, let more of them roll over, and personally tell me." Downton sneered, "Just a dog leg, what's the fuss about?"

  "You're looking for death!" Kash shouted, rushing towards Tandon.

  Tang Dun's double knees launched, like a cannonball, shooting towards Kash. No wonder this guy was fearless, two soul shields popped out of his body, proving that he possessed the combat power of Soul Stage Two.

  "Arrogant!" Kash saw that Danton didn't dodge or evade, but instead charged forward, feeling disrespected, his anger uncontrollable. In the instant they drew close, he threw a heavy punch at Danton's head.

  Downton clenched his fist and clashed with Kash.

  Giant Iron Fist.

  Crack!

  A loud cracking sound echoed through the mine shaft, but was quickly drowned out by screams.

  Kash's combo couldn't be executed, all he felt was Tandon's fist as hard as iron, like a battering ram, unstoppable, making him stumble backward with a thud. The next second, a piercing pain came from his fingertips.

  "How is this possible?" Kash was shocked, staring at his twisted three fingers, and couldn't understand why he couldn't even withstand a single punch from Tongdon.

  Tang Dun's feet stomped the ground fiercely, his body charged forward, and another giant iron fist was thrown.

  This time Kash learned his lesson, and a soul shield flew over, blocking in front of him just in time.

  Bang, the spherical shield was opened.

  Downton showed no mercy and continued to attack fiercely.

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  Despite Kash having two guard shields, he still can't keep up with Tongdon's punching frequency and after being opened, he can only stretch out his hand to block.

  Giant Bullet!!

  Tang Dun's fingers were as sharp as knives, and his magic covered his palm. With a sudden thrust, he shot it out, hitting Kash's small arm directly.

  Ah, Kash cried out in pain, his arm broken and bent at a 90-degree angle.

  Several henchmen couldn't believe their eyes, Kash was the first red club under Duoban's hand, had killed nearly a hundred opponents, but in front of Tang Dun, he actually retreated step by step, beaten like a dead dog.

  Kash was no match for hand-to-hand combat, relying on the robust body of a magical power user and his rich experience in dry docking, but this time's opponent was different.

  Tang Dunshan is already superior to Kash in terms of physical strength, let alone with the addition of his powerful martial arts skills, completely overwhelming Kash's bare-handed combat, truly without any pressure.

  After taking another heavy punch, Kash's three ribs were broken, spitting blood, and he retreated with the trend, wanting to release his Soul Talent and summon a puppet to assist in battle.

  Tang Dun charged forward, launched a surprise attack, and suddenly took a deep breath, letting out a loud roar like a giant.

  A huge roar echoed through the mine, causing some small rocks to fall from the top of their heads. The miners covered their heads, some with ringing ears and dizziness.

  Kash was hit by a restricted technique and almost fainted, his brief loss of consciousness also interrupted the puppet summoning.

  Dundon's double fists struck in succession, and after opening two shields, a giant iron fist was hooked up and pounded on Kash's chin, making his jawbone shattered into fragments, with a mouthful of blood gushing out.

  "Die!" Tanton stretched out his hand, grabbed Kash's floating body that had been beaten up, pulled him down, and kneed him in the waist.

  Wow!

  Kash, who had been thrown out, let out a shocking scream, his lower body completely paralyzed, convulsing unconsciously, and his pants were soaked with feces and urine, flowing all over the floor.

  The air seemed to have solidified, without a single sound.

  Cook rubbed his eyes, his face full of incredulity, and his legs began to tremble. He really didn't expect that Downton not only defeated Cash but also crushed him in a landslide victory.

  Several fists stuck to the wall of the hole, wanting to take a walk.

  "Stop them!"

  Upon hearing Downton's words, several thugs were so frightened that they immediately ran away with their tails between their legs.

  Dunton pulled out a dagger from his boot and threw it away.

  Puff! One of the thugs was kicked in the leg and fell to the ground with a pained cry.

  Danton took a few swift strides to Kash's front, grabbed him and used him as a human projectile, throwing him out, knocking down two more, the others didn't escape either, being blocked by the miners.

  "Master Foreman, spare our lives!" The thugs begged with tears and snot on their faces.

  "Break both legs of all of them." Tandon was too lazy to bother with idle talk, and after the rain shower, he instructed his trusted followers, "After cleaning up, hang them at the tunnel entrance. Whoever dares to come collect taxes again will end up like this."

  "Long live the boss!" The loyal followers cheered.

  Let the miners take care of their injured comrade, Downton left the tunnel to go to the cafeteria for a meal. The more so at such times, the more he should appear in public view, and cannot let others think that he is shrinking away.

  "Hmph, tonight we'll send you to hell! Anyone who offends us must die!" The big foremen ate their sumptuous dinner, gazing at Tang Don with a cruel smile.
