650-About Money
"Of course! Please follow me!" Henry replied quickly. He was truly grateful from the bottom of his heart.Henry walked with Dixon and Diana while the other workers dispersed.Lomez finally gathered the courage to approach Oba and helped him stand."Mr. Oba! Are you alright?""Do not touch me!" Oba shouted.Lomez froze. He gently touched Oba’s arm, but Oba screamed as if he were being slaughtered."Ahhh! Do not touch me!"It felt as if some invisible force was crushing him, making his bones shrink. Even the slightest touch caused unbearable pain. Oba could only curl up like a dog, afraid to move even a little."Mr. Oba, what is happening to you?" Lomez pulled his hand back, too scared to touch him again. He was utterly confused... what had Dixon done to Oba?"Quick... call an ambulance!" Oba was almost crying. Blood was rushing into his limbs, making them swell as if they were about to burst. Even his fingers and toes were swollen from the blocked circulation."Okay! Okay!" Lomez panic
649-Do Not Worry
Oba was on the verge of tears. He wanted to fight back, but Dixon’s gaze stripped away every ounce of his anger. His voice turned soft.“I… I am sorry!” This time, Oba shouted loudly.The workers who heard it felt moved. They knew the apology was not sincere and only came out of fear, but still, the fact that Oba had to kneel and apologize before them was already satisfying enough.“Let’s start the payments. Henry, you first,” Dixon said.Henry hesitated. He glanced at the bag of money, then at Dixon.“It is alright,” Diana said firmly. “That money has been yours from the beginning. Take it. No one has the right to steal it from you.”Henry took a deep breath, shaking off his doubts. “My unpaid salary for the past eight months is twenty-one thousand dollars.” He stepped forward and stood before Oba. For the first time, the mine boss who had always been fierce no longer looked intimidating, because now he was kneeling in front of him.“Pay him,” Dixon ordered. When Oba moved too slowly
648-Dixon Slapped Oba
“What… what’s going on?” Oba trembled.“Can we talk?” Dixon stepped into the office, glancing around before nodding slightly.“This place looks pretty nice. You managed to renovate the office well, yet you can’t afford to pay your workers?” Dixon turned to face Oba. “Don’t you know it’s wrong to delay their salaries?”“Who are you?” Oba glared at him cautiously, then barked, “I’m warning you! This is Cos. If you dare cause trouble here, you won’t be able to handle the consequences!”Dixon narrowed his eyes without replying.“What? Are you scared?” Oba sneered. “I don’t care who you are or how powerful you are outside. Cos is not a place for you to stir up trouble!”“Don’t think you can walk away after attacking one of my men—”Smack!Before he could finish, Dixon slapped him so hard that Oba staggered, rolled across the floor, and cried out in pain.“I’m not leaving today,” Dixon said coldly. “I’ll stay here until this is settled.”“You…”“I’m from Hamilton Group. Hom Mining belongs t

Dixon slapped Lomez hard. Three of Lomez’s teeth flew out, and blood streamed from his mouth. “Who… are you…?” Lomez staggered, but the pain kept him awake. “You are not worthy to know,” Dixon replied coldly, then slapped him again until Lomez’s face swelled. The workers behind Dixon immediately realized that they had help. “Men!” someone shouted from inside. Dozens of people rushed out, armed with iron rods, their faces ready to kill. The workers turned pale. “Do not be afraid.” Diana was not nervous at all. All she felt was anger. If she had not seen this with her own eyes, she would rather not believe that there could be people this cruel. How could a human being do such violence to poor, innocent laborers? For the first time, Diana felt there were moments when being reasonable was completely useless. Dixon must not let these hopeless people get away with it. Diana bit her lip and shouted loudly, “Dixon… They are scaring me!” The moment her voice faded, a loud
646-Dixon Didn't Answer
No one dared to move, although the anger in their eyes still burned. Lomez spat toward them, then shut the office’s metal door from the inside. Inside the room, the air was filled with the fragrance of expensive tea. Anyone who knew tea would recognize that it cost thousands of dollars per bar of leaves. Oba, the man in charge of the eighth mining zone, lived in luxury. In just a few years, he had bought more than a dozen houses and an entire row of commercial properties. His skin was dark, a thick gold chain hung from his neck, and on his thumb was a large ring said to have been taken from a dead man’s hand. For years, not a single thing he had done could be called ethical. "Are they asking for money?" Oba took a small sip of tea before sneering. "I already paid them six months ago, and that was only out of pity." "If they do not want to work, then let them leave. Tell them to stop bothering me. Do they want to die?" Lomez gave a faint smile. "Mr. Oba, just ignore the
645-At Mining Zone 3
"Dixon, did I make things difficult for you today?" Diana finally turned to face Dixon. "I was so angry that I made a promise to them. Now that I think about it, I should have tried to handle it myself instead of getting upset and adding to your burden." Dixon lowered his gaze slightly when he saw how red Diana’s eyes were. "My love, now you are making me upset," he said with a serious expression. "It is my duty to share your burdens and make sure you are happy." Diana pouted. It felt incredible to have a man so strong protecting her. She had nothing to fear. Dixon was her safe harbor, and she knew he would shield her from any storm. Seeing Diana start to calm down, Dixon smiled. He reached out and held her hand. There was nothing more that needed to be said. When they arrived home, Diana went straight to the bedroom to rest. The day had been exhausting, and her spirits had dipped because of what had happened earlier. As Dixon tucked her in, he gazed at her gently. "You
