Christopher knew the Larsons were the weakest in power among the three families. He figured that given how things were still in a vague mess, it would be futile for the three parties to engage in a fight. After all, there was a possibility that there might be nothing in the vein min.
“Sure, I agree to it!” Jayden nodded since he felt the same way.
Upon seeing their reaction, Isaiah could only follow suit. “All right. Let's break open the opening together!”
After finishing his words, he turned to his men and ordered, “Get ready the explosives to blow the entrance.”
Meanwhile, Jared had been monitoring the condition of the top of the mountain, and upon hearing Isaiah's commands, he immediately rushed forward and urged, “You can't do that! The mountain top might crumble if you blow up the entrance!”
Being able to tell that it was hollow beneath the mountain top, Jared knew the destructive impact from the explosion would build up within the mountain and result in a collapse.
Throwing a glance at the man, Isaiah coldly uttered, “What do you know?
We've mined for years, and that’s what we always do. Get out of my sight now! I'll settle scores with you when I get down the mountains!”
No one paid heed to Jared's words, and in the blink of an eye, explosives were set up at the venue.
In the next second, an ear-splitting sound echoed through the air. The hole, which only had a one-meter diameter, had instantly turned into a giant one!
Darkness remained inside the hole, yet the reverberation of the collision of stones was rather apparent.
“That must be from the gravels after the explosion. Let's head in and take a better look,” Isaiah suggested.
A sudden sequence of tremors that resembled an earthquake became apparent just as the trio prepared to step inside. It left everyone present awfully shocked that they hastily staggered a few steps backward.
Not long after, the crowd realized that cracks were starting to form on the ground below their feet. Not only were they spreading, but they were growing wider too.
“Aaaahh!”
The majority chorused their screams as they scuttled away.
