The setting sun shone through the window into the dormitory, a golden glow reflecting Downton's twisted cheeks.
"Who touched my backpack?"
Bang, Downton punched the table, smashing it into pieces.
The roaring sound spread throughout the building, and the doors opened one after another, looking towards 308.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
"Has anything been stolen?"
The cronies rushed in, all with angry faces.
"Drive those miners out, search them from room to room, find them, and beat them to death."
As Downton defeated more miners, his cronies became more and more determined to follow him, and they became more courageous and confident.
"I was careless." Downton scolded himself, pulled out the sharpened iron pipe from under the quilt, and walked into the corridor.
"Brother, what should I do?" The cronies couldn't come up with a solution. After all, there were too many people with the opportunity and motive to commit crimes. Frequently losing things in the miners' dormitories was a common thing. But I didn't expect that they would even dare to steal the foreman. It was really
Don't die.
"Don't worry!" After appeasing his men, Downton glanced at the corridor, looked at the miners who stretched their necks to look here, and shouted loudly, "It was that bastard who entered my dormitory and took me away.
If anyone knows about it and tells me, he can get a reward of one thousand gold coins."
Noises spread, and the miners were in an uproar. They looked at Downton in surprise. If they saved flowers, one thousand gold coins would be enough for them to spend five or six years.
The Grimoire can be said to be everything to Downton, and it is related to his future. When he saw it lost, he almost felt that the sky was falling. However, he knew that anger and regret were useless, so he forced himself to calm down.
, quickly find a way to get it back.
"Do you really have a thousand gold coins?" a miner shouted.
"Nonsense!" Downton stared at him, "Go and find him."
The young cronies pounced on him like wolves and tigers. When the miners saw something was wrong, they were so frightened that they quickly closed the door, but it was of no use.
The cronies broke open the door and gave the miner a good beating. After making the miner calm down, they dragged him out and pulled him in front of Downton.
"What do you know? Don't worry, just tell me and I'll pay you a thousand gold coins." Downton tried to keep his tone calm. From the outside, the magic book looked like a useless book. If he showed too much concern, he would say
Maybe the person taking it will notice it.
"I...I don't know anything. I just asked casually." The miner quickly explained. He regretted it now. He really shouldn't have said anything just now.
Judging from the miner's troubled expression, it shouldn't look like he was telling lies, but Downton was worried that he had misunderstood, so he raised his chin slightly and said, "Hit him."
The cronies took action immediately.
Bang, bang, bang!
The tragic situation of the unlucky miner scared the others and closed their doors, fearing that Downton would be watching them.
"Where to start? Judging from how messy the room is, and the signs of doors and cabinets being pried open, it should be a brute force attack, which will definitely make a loud noise." Downton looked inside the dormitory again, and passed
There are clues to speculate, "This shows that 'that guy' almost robbed openly and had no intention of covering up, so someone must have seen it."
"Say it quickly!" The cronies beat the miners, and some even suggested catching a few more.
Downton knew that he was too impatient. If he waited for a while before taking action, someone would definitely ask if he would pay the reward. Then among these people, there should be the bastard who had seen the thing stolen. Of course, maybe he would wait until most of the miners were asleep.
, someone will look for you.
"Perhaps it was done by the subordinates of a certain big foreman. These miners are worried about retaliation. Even if they are rewarded with huge gold coins, they dare not say anything now."
Downton stepped forward and walked in the corridor, his long military boots making a crisp sound on the ground.
When he reached room 318, Downton glanced at the stained door, raised his leg and kicked it open.
"Haha, I would rather not have a thousand gold coins than see him in bad luck. And you, no one is allowed to tell him." Nelson laughed full of revenge while threatening the miners in his dormitory.
The miners were laughing together, but there was a loud bang and they were all stunned when they saw the door slamming against the wall and Downton breaking in with a frosty look on his face.
"Uh!" Nelson was stunned, still wondering if Downton had heard what he just said, but in the end, he strode over quickly.
"I don't know anything." Nelson yelled subconsciously.
Bang, Downton whipped out the iron pipe and slapped him hard on the chest. With the sound of bones cracking, he spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground wailing.
"You are recuperating in the dormitory, so you must have seen who broke open my door." Downton raised his leg and kicked Nelson hard, "So don't even think about lying to me."
"Stop fighting, please!" Nelson begged for mercy, and the blood he coughed up kept splattering on the floor.
The other miners remained silent.
"Still not telling you? Then you can just go and die." Downton stepped on Nelson's face, crushing his nose, and then moved on to the next target.
"No, I said, it was the men of Foreman Aos who broke into your dormitory. They should have taken your things."
The miners looked at the murderous Downton and knelt on the ground in fear.
"Stop fighting, go and get all the iron pipes you can find." Downton returned to the corridor and ordered his men. The iron pipe in his hand was as thick as a thumb and nearly one meter long. One section was polished to a sharp point and could be used as a
Used for stabbing.
The cronies took action immediately. In order to defend themselves and fight, they were prepared for such things. In just a moment, there were more than twenty sticks piled in front of Downton.
"Is that enough? How about using a machete?" The cronies also brought weapons and prepared to follow Downton to fight.
"Are you afraid?" Downton made a simple backpack out of sheets and put it on his back. Then he inserted the iron pipe into it, leaving just a section exposed for easy access.
"Don't be afraid!" the cronies shouted.
"Very good, take me to Foreman Aos." Downton glanced at the three young miners and walked out of the dormitory. There were still six miners who hadn't arrived. They were obviously hiding and wouldn't come.
.
After all, Downton was going to clash with the notorious foreman, and some miners didn't think he would win.
The roar just now had alarmed the entire building. The miners were all watching what was going on here. When they saw Downton going to the foreman's building, they immediately became excited and chased him out to watch the excitement.
The foreman's building is in the northeast corner of the dormitory area. Because it is next to the boss's independent villa, the environment is quite good. Not only the big foremans and their cronies live here, but also a large number of supervisors, as well as the servants hired by the new boss at a high price.
Soldiers and bodyguards.
It took Downton less than three minutes to walk downstairs to the foreman.
It was now time after dinner, and the miners were all idle. When they saw this huge group of people, they naturally followed them, and the crowd grew bigger and bigger.
"Os, get out of here!" Downton yelled.
"Is this kid crazy? He actually came to cause trouble downstairs for the foreman?"
"Idiots who don't know the heights of the world, do they think that just because they can fight, they can become a foreman? They have no brains."
"Haha, why are you worrying about all this? It's not bad to watch him get beaten to death, just to relieve your boredom."
The miners were talking a lot and didn't think much of Downton at all. Even the three cronies began to look a little panicked.
"Who is shouting? Get out of here and don't disturb my sleep."
Bang, an iron pot broke the glass, fell from the fifth floor, and hit the floor with a thud. A big foreman was dissatisfied.
"Os, I'm causing trouble for you. Let's deal with it quickly."
"Even such a young miner dares to cause trouble for you, Os, where are you putting your face?"
Some windows above the foreman were opened, and some people were teasing Os and looking down.
Downton noticed that the moment the big foremen appeared, the crowd below all closed their mouths, the noise disappeared, and they immediately became quiet.
"Is it you? Huh, come and find me if you have the ability!" Ost stretched his head out from the fifth floor and took a look. He was holding a handful of pokers in his hand, and he didn't forget to play the cards.
"What are you doing? They're all gone."
A supervisor wearing a dark black uniform appeared. Normally, they wouldn't bother to take care of this kind of thing, but this was under the boss's villa. If it got too big, they wouldn't be able to walk around.
Some timid miners left, but more gathered here, waiting to watch the show, because the young man completely ignored the supervisor.
"Os, if you want to die, I will let you die!" Downton walked towards the foreman's building, "You three stay here."
The three cronies hesitated for a moment and then followed.
"Stop, this is not the place you can come!" One supervisor reached out to stop Downton, and the other directly took out the short black stick in his hand and hit Downton on the head.
Downton quickly pulled out an iron pipe, swung it vigorously, deflected the overseer's short stick, and then swung it at his face.
Poof, half of the teeth in the supervisor's mouth were knocked out, and he vomited it out mixed with donated blood.
There was an uproar. The miners didn't expect that Downton was so tough and would even dare to beat the supervisor. Is this guy desperate for his life?
If you offend the big foreman, you may not die as long as you find a new backer, but if you offend the supervisor, you will definitely die, because they are the largest force in the mine.
"Are you crazy?" Another supervisor was startled and wanted to slap Downton.
Downton raised his leg and kicked him on the stomach, causing the overseer to vomit acid water and kneel to the ground.
A shrill whistle sounded, and more supervisors hurriedly put on their clothes and rushed out of the foreman's building. Their short sticks could be unscrewed and pulled out, revealing a short sword, shining with a sharp cold light in the setting sun.
"Even if you kowtow and beg for mercy today, you are still dead." The supervisor leader was almost furious. He was sure that the new boss was watching from the villa. If he could not handle this conflict well, he would probably be demoted.
Downton hesitated whether to go on a killing spree, broke into the foreman's building, took back the grimoire, and asked him to surrender to the overseer. Even if it was just a temporary compromise, he didn't want to do it.
"If I humble myself, even Grimm Homer will look down on me." Downton muttered, gripping the iron pipe tightly, preparing to rush in.
"Get out of the way and let him in." A rough voice suddenly rang out, causing the supervisors' expressions to change greatly.
