Ulysses, Wright, and the others grumbled and cursed while leaving the bar and driving back to Lennon's mine.

”In my opinion, we should get some people, and go back and beat them up. Those d*mn foreigners. They cannot beat us,” the temperamental Hubert bellowed.

Kidd pinched his nose and glared at Hubert. In an unpleasant manner, he asked, ”Beat them up? Are you sure you can beat them in a fight?”

Hubert replied, ”I have six miners back at my mine. What about the miners you guys have? With Popovich and Hugo, we can gather 50 people.”

Ulysses bellowed, ”Don't f*cking talk about Popovich and Hugo. Those two cunning foxes. D*mn it, they won't show up. They are waiting to see how it will unfold. We have been fooled by them before.”

”Yeah, Hugo is definitely in Lightning Ridge. I saw that old rascal having a meal at a restaurant with his mistress yesterday.”

”The six of us is enough. No matter what, we will still have 40 people, right? They only have a few.”

”Don't talk nonsense. That German fella among them is already able to fight against 40 people. Violence will definitely not work.”

They began arguing about whether they should use violence against Li Du.

Lennon said, ”Using violence is not out of the question. However, it's out of the question for us. Truth be told, fellas, even though you guys have a lot of miners, will they fight for you?”

The mine owners became quiet and were no longer arguing.

Indeed, that was the problem. The miners under them were paid to mine for them, not to fight for them.

”In that case, what should we do?” Ulysses asked in a dejected manner. ”Surely you don't mean for us to stop mining, right? Ha, I am actually ok with it. York, are you fine with it?”

York Lennon, who was calmly pondering the situation, remained quiet.

Stop? He would never agree to that. He had found gemstones after digging into the number 122 mine. Having gained something, he would not stop even if God wanted him to!

Even after a round of discussion, the group was unable to come to a decision.

However, what they were certain of was that they did not wish to stop, and that they were not afraid of Li Du.

If they were not breaking the law, they would have already gathered people and brazenly fought Li Du. Now, as they were breaking the law, they did not dare to provoke Li Du, or else they could be put in prison.

With mining stopped for the night, the mine became quiet.

A figure walked once around them before quietly walking back with a map.

While the sky was still dark, a rumbling sound could be heard from the number 122 mine. The sound came from the rock hand drill machines digging holes into the rock layers.

On the second day, a sewage truck drove onto the bumpy roads in the mining district and into the number 122 mine.

As per usual, Lennon instructed his miners to mine gemstones.

A miner said worryingly, ”York, truth be told, we should stop digging deeper. It's illegal. Now that our neighbor isn't that softie from before, he will not keep quiet and do nothing.”

Another miner added, ”Yeah, we all heard about yesterday's incident. You guys got beaten up by that Chinese man, right?”

Lennon shaded his eyes and said, ”You guys don't interfere in this matter. I will handle it. Ha, just a foreigner. He wants to cause trouble in Lightning Ridge?”

A few of the miners looked at each other before one of them persisted and asked, ”He will not let this matter go. York, we don't want to take this risk.”

Lennon looked at them in a dissatisfied manner and said, ”Alright, I will set an example. Seriously, what a bunch of cowards.”
