"What is inside the mine?" Dixon asked while staring at Harlod. "There... there is a grave," Harlod replied with a trembling voice. He was too afraid to hide the truth. "What is inside the grave?" Dixon asked. "There... there are some boxing technique manuals inside. Tagaso has been searching for them for a long time," Harlod answered. It was true, they were in Mining Zone 1! Dixon never expected to find pages from the Extreme Boxing Technique Manual here in Cos. But why were the manuals inside a grave? Who found them first? And why hide them in such a faraway place? Even more, why put them inside a collapsed mine shaft? Clearly, someone did not want them to be discovered. "I have told you everything. Now let me go! Let me go!" Harlod begged in fear. But Dixon only ignored him. To him, Harlod was nothing more than an ant. Even someone like Tagaso did not deserve his attention, let alone Harlod. Harlod quickly got up and ran as fast as he could out of the mining zone. F

Meanwhile, at Mining Zone 1… In front of the unstable mine shaft, Henry and the other miners had prepared everything. They carried mining lamps, ropes, knives, shovels, and even dry food and water supplies. "Mr. Dixon Edric and Miss Diana have done so much for us. But we have done very little for them," Henry said in a deep voice. "We have all passed through this shaft before. You still remember what it is like, don’t you?" "Yes, I remember! Of course I remember!" one of the miners replied. "We are all experienced miners. This is the only skill we have. So I don’t think it is a problem." "If the thing inside that shaft is truly important to Mr. Dixon, then let’s take it out for him!" Henry nodded slowly. He could see the strong determination in his companions’ eyes. "But remember," he warned, "even for experienced miners, going into this shaft is dangerous. So think carefully before stepping in." But for them, the risk had already been considered. Their gratitude and r

When Henry and the others heard Dixon thank them, their hearts were filled with joy. They quickly waved their hands and said, “You’re welcome!” Dixon took the box and looked at it. The copper lock on top was already rusted. Henry took a pair of pliers and opened it with ease. “Mr. Dixon, this grave has been here for many years. We often come across things like this while mining. I believe this one is at least a hundred years old,” Henry explained. “The grave was empty. There was no coffin at all, only this box and a stone tablet with some carvings. I tried everything, but I could not lift the tablet.” Dixon nodded. “As long as you all came out safely, the rest can wait.” He opened the box, and inside was a single page of the Extreme Boxing Manual! The yellow parchment looked exactly like the one he already had. Even the folds and creases were the same. Dixon untied the string around it and slowly unrolled the scroll. His eyes instantly lit up. “There is something hidden with

If Gomuka had not mentioned the hidden wild mines in Cos, Hamid would not have been interested at all. A wild mine was a slang term for a rare mineral mine. Because the ore was extremely scarce, only a small portion of it could bring extraordinary profits. Moreover, these mines were not supposed to be privately owned, but the Vozak family secretly controlled two of them. “Mr. Hamid, you must think of me as a joke. It is truly shameful for me to end up in this position,” Gomuka sighed sadly. “But if you are not interested in continuing this conversation, then I will leave.” He prepared to stand. “Mr. Gomuka, you are still as stubborn as ever, and it seems you have not changed at all.” Hamid Vozak did not stand. He only gave a faint smile and pointed toward the entrance of his office. “If you want to leave, I cannot stop you. Please go ahead.” Gomuka suddenly felt awkward. He had already half stood, but if he really walked out it would seem impolite. On the other hand, if he sa

Meanwhile, Dixon was sitting calmly in his office. A glass of wine was on his left, while a banana lay on his right. He did not involve himself in the technical side of mine management. All of that was already handled by the professionals of Hamilton Group. His job now was only to wait for something he knew would come sooner or later. “Mr. Dixon,” reported one of his subordinates, “lately many people have been coming to Cos to apply for work. The number has already passed five hundred.” “How many can we recruit?” asked his subordinate calmly. “As many as possible,” Dixon replied. Dixon tossed the banana peel into the trash can with perfect aim, then wiped his hands. “Whatever must come, let it come quickly. I want to return home soon, to be with my wife.” Just as he finished speaking, Henry rushed in with a worried look. “Mr. Dixon!” he called. “What is it?” Dixon asked. “Some people from Dalenin have arrived. They are with the Vozak family, who control almost all mining trad
