Chapter 492Chapter 492
Christopher knew the Larsons were the weakest in power among the three families. He figured that
given how things were still in a vague mess, it would be futile for the three parties to engage in a fight.
After all, there was a possibility that there might be nothing in the vein min.
“Sure, I agree to it!” Jayden nodded since he felt the same way.
Upon seeing their reaction, Isaiah could only follow suit. “All right. Let’s break open the opening
together!”
After finishing his words, he turned to his men and ordered, “Get ready the explosives to blow the
entrance.”
Meanwhile, Jared had been monitoring the condition of the top of the mountain, and upon hearing
Isaiah’s commands, he immediately rushed forward and urged, “You can’t do that! The mountain top
might crumble if you blow up the entrance!”
Being able to tell that it was hollow beneath the mountain top, Jared knew the destructive impact from
the explosion would build up within the mountain and result in a collapse.
Throwing a glance at the man, Isaiah coldly uttered, “What do you know? We’ve mined for years, and
that’s what we always do. Get out of my sight now! I’ll settle scores with you when I get down the
mountains!”
novelbinNo one paid heed to Jared’s words, and in the blink of an eye, explosives were set up at the venue.
In the next second, an ear-splitting sound echoed through the air. The hole, which only had a one-
meter diameter, had instantly turned into a giant one!Darkness remained inside the hole, yet the reverberation of the collision of stones was rather apparent.
“That must be from the gravels after the explosion. Let’s head in and take a better look,” Isaiah
suggested.
A sudden sequence of tremors that resembled an earthquake became apparent just as the trio
prepared to step inside. It left everyone present awfully shocked that they hastily staggered a few steps
backward.
Not long after, the crowd realized that cracks were starting to form on the ground below their feet. Not
only were they spreading, but they were growing wider too.
“Aaaahh!”
The majority chorused their screams as they scuttled away.
Reacting swiftly, Tessa grabbed ahold of Jared. He was the only person she trusted at that point.
Like many others, Dominic was scurrying for his life. Yet Jared pulled him back and exclaimed, “Stop
running. You won’t be able to get away!”
Holding onto Tessa and Dominic, Jared leaped off the ground without warning. Subsequently, the entire
mountain top, which was the size of several football fields, caved in after a loud rumble resonated!
Of course, everyone plunged inward at once since they could not react in time to the sudden collapse.
Fortunately, it was only a few meters deep, and thus there were no fatalities. Only several members
had sustained injuries after getting hit by the giant boulders.
“Look! There’s imperial jade…”“Oriental jasper… That’s an oriental jasper!”
Getting stuck in that massive pit, the crowd noticed the plethora of stones sticking out from the ground.
The colors were so bright and luscious that anyone could spot them without the need for any tools and
equipment.
“Hahaha! We’re going to be rich! This place is indeed a vein mine full of gemstones! How amazing!” At
the sight of the gemstones around him, Isaiah began laughing maniacally.
Jayden and Christopher also fell into jubilance. This place is way more valuable than a gold mountain!
While everyone else was mesmerized by the stunning appearances of those gemstones, Jared’s
attention deviated to an unremarkable stone that was about the size of a fist, sharing a resemblance to
a cobblestone.
Immense spiritual energy radiating from the stones covered the entire venue. Having not experienced
such a phenomenon, Jared opened his arms and immersed
himself in the atmosphere in an attempt to draw all the energy to him.
A few moments into their excitement, Jayden, Christopher, and Isaiah swiftly turned on their alert mode
and looked at each other cautiously.
“Jayden, Christopher, I’m the one who found the entrance. Logically speaking, I should start mining
first. But since you guys are here too, I’ll let you two equally split between the mines I have out of
Mount Hickoria,” Isaiah generously said to Jayden and Christopher
