Chapter 1557 Hard Work Pays Off (1/2)

”What do you want to know?” Du Enhai asked.

Li Du said, ”Ten thousand dollars in exchange for your place, for you to leave this mine. Would you take it?”

Du Enhai gulped. ”Isn't that too little? I've been here for five years and I spent a pretty penny on tidying up this mine. There were a lot of poisonous pests here at the start and I was the one who had to have them exterminated.”

Li Du responded, ”You think ten thousand is too little? I'd suggest you be careful not to get too greedy. You've worked at Hpakant before, so you should know the consequences of greed.”

Du Enhai stared him down before he finally sighed at relented. ”Fine, ten thousand. I'll bring all my men out of here.”

Li Du smiled. ”Thank you, Boss Old Du, for your understanding. Now then, when will you guys be leaving?”

”When will you give us the money?” Du Enhai inquired.

Li Du pointed at the scattering of bills that lay before them. ”Haven't I already given you the money?”

Du Enhai's temper rose in a split second and he said, ”Boss Zhong, you're playing dirty right now. I earned every last bit of this cash. How can you use this as part of the deal?”

Li Du laughed as he shook the dice cup. ”You really think you earned that? You run a casino. It wouldn't be nice if I had to spill the beans on you, would it?”

Du Enhai swallowed and fell into deep thought. He then stood up and said, ”Alright, give me two days. I will have everything here packed up and ready to be transported out.”

Li Du smiled. ”I can't thank you enough for your cooperation.”

Du Enhai smiled back at him. He then asked Li Du, ”You're here to look for jade ore, right? Just like the previous owner of this mineshaft did?”

Li Du replied, ”No, actually. I'm just looking to spend a few days here.”

Du Enhai seemed skeptical of his response and continued, ”If you're planning on doing what I think you are, I'd advise you to drop it. So many people have been to Dena Mountain in search of jade but not even one of them succeeded. A whole bunch of them ended up dead, though.”
