Chapter 101: A Spark Sets Off

  In the corridor, the loyal servant panted and ran to the door of Dofenke's bedroom, knocking heavily on the door with an unmistakable excitement in his tone.

  "Master, that Tong Dun exploded the big workshop, killing many people."

  Bang! Dofenke yanked open the door with a look of utter incredulity on his face, "What? Say that again?"

  "That young man killed the Big Boss, leaving only three people alive. They promised to hand over 30,000 gold coins in order to survive." The servant bowed down, with a respectful expression.

  "That's great, I knew it! He didn't disappoint me." Dofenke clapped his hands excitedly and burst out laughing, "Haha, one nail has been hammered in, I don't believe a crack can't be opened up!"

  "Master, don't be so optimistic, the supervisor has brought people to cause trouble." The servant rushed back just for this reason.

  "How did he do it?" Dofenck was worried, fearing that Tanton had been lured over.

  "He beat up several foremen, and now both sides are at a stalemate." The servant thought that Tang Don was going to be promoted and didn't mind speaking a few good words for him, "That young man is very promising, worth cultivating."

  "Alright, you go and get Hamlet to take action, protect Tongdon." After saying this, Dofenke couldn't help but sigh, as a mine owner himself wanting to take care of someone, yet still having to rely on mercenaries, it was truly frustrating.

  "Mr. Halle has gone, is there anything else I can do for you?" The servant's mouth was sweet, "You didn't eat much for dinner, would you like me to ask the kitchen to make some snacks?"

  "Never mind, you go tell Ram, from now on, Tongton is a newly appointed supervisor." Dofenk took Tongton as a sharp blade to break the deadlock, of course, if he died, he wouldn't be heartbroken.

  "Hmm!" The servant was about to withdraw when he was stopped by Madame Defarge.

  "Just let him be a big worker." A middle-aged woman in pajamas stood behind her husband, "As long as Tang Dun is a big worker, he will have conflicts with the supervisor. Once promoted to supervisor, their status will be different, who can guarantee what he will do?"

  Duofenke fell silent, he was able to climb to his current position, he wasn't stupid, he didn't have any favors from Tangdon, and hadn't even seen him before. If he found out about the current situation in the mine, it's possible that he would switch sides.

  The servant stood quietly on one side, waiting for his master's decision.

  "Just do as your wife says!" Dofenk waved his hand listlessly, the mine's affairs were too much of a headache for him.

  "Observe Tang Dun for a few more days, then find an opportunity to invite him out for a meal. If he's of good character, support him in becoming a foreman." His wife helped Dofenk massage his shoulders and comforted him, "Don't worry about it, I believe everything will turn out okay."

  "Ah, would that it were so!" Dofenk sighed.

  There are three forces in the dagger mine, the first is led by the general supervisor and the guardian team leader, they are the direct descendants of Duosha Fu, holding everything in the mine, without them, the daily operation of the mine will immediately be paralyzed. They also control all miners through the big workers and mine bosses, which is also the reason why Dufen Ke has not been able to take them down.

  The second force was the mine owners, these people were once thugs, thieves and murderers, in short, they were criminals who had broken the law. With Praxido's stinginess and greed, he didn't even want to hang them directly, but instead sent them to the mines to dig for him.

  Due to their background and experience, these people are few in number but the most ruthless. The most troublesome thing is that they take orders from the general manager.

  The remaining third group is the ordinary people who do labor work and the ordinary miners who make a living by mining all year round. Although they are numerous, their status is the lowest, under the control of the big bosses, doing the heaviest work, earning a meager salary.

  Dofenk's situation is precarious, if he hadn't hired two hundred mercenaries when he came, perhaps he would have been assassinated and thrown into a mine shaft by now.

  "That Tang Dun won't let us down, he dares to fight with the foreman and the supervisor, as long as it's not a fool, it shows that he has a lot of heart and has already thought of a way out. In these few days, we'll think of a way to deepen the contradictions between them and make them irreconcilable." The middle-aged woman is also not a kind person, she speaks with poisonous plans, forcing Tang Dun to take risks for Duofenke.

  Tang Don, still unaware that he was being plotted against, gripped his battle axe tightly, ready to go on a killing spree. He would absolutely not be taken alive, judging from the attitude of the supervisor, he knew that once he was captured, he would definitely be dead meat.

  "Halt!"

  The fierce battle was halted by a loud shout.

  Hamlet, clad in a suit of white knight's armor, approached with a retinue of mercenaries, quickening his pace as he saw the blood-soaked ground and corpses, furrowing his brow. He then slightly bowed his head and whispered a prayer.

  Hale's demeanor was devout, chanting hymns, comforting the departed souls.

  "Is this guy crazy?" Jackson muttered as he handed the book to Danton.

  "Ah, I've run into this moralistic knight again. But he's really cool-looking, though!" Even the worldly-wise Madoran couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. Hamlet was handsome, so much so that he could rival a spirit in looks.

  To know that the elves are a race renowned for their beauty throughout the continent, regardless of gender, even the ugliest ones would be considered great beauties among humans, so the price of elven slaves has always been high, causing buyers to scramble.

  "Thanks for saving my life last time." Hamlet thanked Danton and turned to Jackson, drawing his knight sword, "Ghoul, this is not a place you should be in, get back to the land of the dead or accept purification!"

  "Undead?" The director and his entourage were startled, even the guard beside him couldn't help but retreat, this time looking at the sixteen 'iron cans' with a deep-seated fear and dread in their eyes.

  Undead creatures are evil beings that should be burned at the stake according to the propaganda of the Holy Flame Dominion.

  "Hah! The brains of a knight, I'm sure they're delicious." Jackson's taunt was cut short as he took a punch to the head from Downton.

  "Do you want to eat me too?"

  "I was just joking." Jackson's eyes widened and he suddenly remembered that his master was also a Holy Knight, so he hastily apologized.

  "Is it your familiar?" Hamlet sheathed his longsword, eyeing Jackson warily as he cautioned Downton in a sincere tone, "You'd best be careful; these creatures have no honor and will surely kill you the moment they get the chance."

  "Well, I'll be careful." Seeing that Harley wasn't a stiff and unyielding knight who didn't know how to adapt, Danton breathed a sigh of relief.

  "Hey, don't tarnish my image. However, Sir Knight, I apologize for my rudeness earlier." Jackson knelt to the ground.

  "If you dare to launch a sneak attack, I'll twist your head off and use it as a potted plant." Tang Don knew what kind of person Jackson was, who had signed a death contract with him.

  "How could I? I'm genuinely sorry." Jackson smiled and relaxed his crossbow.

  "Go wait somewhere." Tang Dun didn't believe it either.

  "Jackson-san dislikes pretty boys, okay, but the master doesn't look bad either." The ghoul stroked its chin, looking gloomy, it really wanted to punch Hare's face.

  "Hey, are you guys treating me as if I don't exist?" The supervisor's lungs were about to burst from anger after seeing himself being ignored.

  "Are you responsible for these deaths?" Hamlet asked. "Then kneel down and repent, may the goddess forgive your sins."

  "Who do you think you are? How dare you interfere with my business?"

  The general spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, and he couldn't help but want to slap Halle to death. This knight was a devout follower of the Radiant Goddess, and his good deeds knew no bounds - he even helped dirty dog-head people. To avoid paying the mining tax, he had already gotten into several fights with their own thugs.

  "Slay the rioters, punish evil, it is the duty that every Holy Knight should uphold!" Halle's right hand swung out, a golden light ring burst open, covering the mercenaries, imbuing them with divine magic.

  "Kid, you'd better hide for the rest of your life, we're outta here!" The director glared at Tang Don for a moment before finishing his threat and leaving with his men.

  Hamlet's strength is really making Lam worried, he has many sinister and treacherous means, it's not worth directly rushing to kill.

  "Let them off just like that?" The beaten foreman covered his chin, with a venomous gaze.

  "Nonsense, are your brains all grass? Bring out all the cruel means you usually use to bully miners. Whoever dares to get close to Tang Don will be killed." Ram was furious, "I want that damned kid to understand that without my permission, he can't even become a miner, let alone a big worker."

  The overseers were excited, rubbing their palms in preparation for a big haul. The headman's words meant they could take advantage of the situation to ruthlessly exploit the miners and make a fortune.

  "Thank you." Although they had only met twice, Hamlet's character was truly impressive to Downton, especially in this crisis when not even one of his confidants showed up.

  "What's the thanks for? Striking down evil is what a Holy Knight should do!" Hamlet tried to flash a smile, but his facial expression was too stiff. "To thank you for saving my life last time, I'll treat you to a midnight snack."

  The commotion died down, and the miners were discussing it among themselves, just about to leave, when they saw Dofenk's loyal servant hurrying over.

  "Dangton, hurry up and get rid of the trouble here, Master has allowed you to enter the Gongtou Building."

  The person had actually arrived a long time ago, but a group of supervisors were present, so he didn't dare show up.

  A murmur of envy rose among the miners as they gazed at Downton, mixed with a dash of schadenfreude.

  "Dangton is too lucky, he is the first big foreman acknowledged by Du Fengkun himself, and he will definitely make a great career in the future."

  "Fart, the overseers will definitely kill him. Before Tongton has a chance to eat his fill, he'll probably become a discarded corpse in the mine pit."

  "Alright, you didn't see how they crushed the big foremen with their impressive manner. With Du Feng's support, who knows, maybe they can really deal with those supervisors. At that time, it would be a good thing for us too, at least we won't be extorted or blackmailed anymore."

  "Who are you?" Tongdon's hearing was quite good, but he didn't put those idle chatter to heart, and stretched out his arm towards the servant.

  "I am the servant of Lord Dofenk!" Zhong Pu said with a hypocritical smile, looking at the fifteen 'iron cans' standing behind Tang Dun, thinking of an excuse to ask for a set of armor.
