The eastern mine is more than 40 kilometers away from Chen Family Manor, nestled between two mountain ridges.

When Lin Feng and Tie Ying arrived at the gate of the mine, they could hear the sound of whips striking flesh from afar.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

The main gate of the mine was wide open, and a dozen thugs dressed in black short shirts stood in two rows, carrying iron bars and leather whips.

Standing in the middle was a portly middle-aged man, around forty years old, with an oily face, holding a cowhide whip in his hand.

Hu Tianzhu, the chief manager of the Chenjia mining area.

King Wu, fourth level.

Three emaciated miners knelt before him, their backs covered in crisscrossing whip marks, their flesh mangled and bloody.

Stealing ore? How dare you?

Hu Tianzhu lashed out with his whip again, and the miner at the front groaned and fell to the ground.

"You dare steal from the Chen family? Believe me or not, I'll throw the three of you into the mine to feed the insects!"

A thug next to him kicked the miner.

"Uncle Hu, these three say their mothers are sick and they want to exchange two pieces of broken ore for medicine."

Hu Tianzhu snorted coldly.

"Sick? If you're sick, you should just die at home! I don't care if you live or die! If you come to work at my Chen family's mine, you have to follow the Chen family's rules!"

He raised his whip, ready to strike again.

The whip tip hadn't even hit the ground yet.

A hand reached out from behind and grabbed the whip.

Hu Tianzhu turned around.

Two unfamiliar faces.

A young man, dressed in a black combat suit, with a long sword across his back.

A gaunt middle-aged man, wearing dark silver wrist guards and a gray robe.

Gray robe.

Hu Tianzhu's pupils contracted slightly, then relaxed.

He recognized the outfit.

People from the Beast Taming Alliance.

"Hey." Hu Tianzhu yanked the whip out of Lin Feng's hand, took two steps back, and a greasy smile appeared on his face.

"Who do we have here? Someone from the Alliance? What, the turtle that's been hiding for thirty years has finally decided to crawl out?"

He waved to the thugs behind him.

"Brothers, take a look! This is the Beast Taming Alliance! They played the fool when they signed the agreement, and now they're back at our mine. What are they doing here? Begging?"

The thugs burst into laughter.

Iron Eagle's temples throbbed twice, and spikes popped out from the dark silver bracers on his wrist.

"Don't rush." ​​Lin Feng pressed his hand down.

Seeing that the two men didn't move, Hu Tianzhu became even bolder and lashed the ground with his whip.

"Get out of here if you know what's good for you! This mining area belongs to the Chen family. If any of your alliance members dare to take another step, don't blame me for being impolite!"

He turned and yelled at the thugs.

"What are you standing there for? Get these two blind fools out of here! Beat them with sticks! Beat them to death!"

A dozen thugs surrounded them, wielding iron bars.

Lin Feng released Tie Ying's wrist.

He didn't draw his sword.

Bring your right index and middle fingers together, and let the blood and energy flow into your fingertips.

It swung forward slightly.

A wisp of qi, almost invisible to the naked eye, shot out from the fingertip, moving so fast that it was silent.

Hu Tianzhu's smile was still on his face.

The energy slashed across.

The dozen or so thugs stopped moving at the same time.

The iron rod was still held aloft, the mouth was still open, and the feet were still moving.

then.

Puff puff puff puff!!

More than a dozen bodies split open on the same plane, with the upper half falling forward and the lower half leaning backward.

Internal organs and blood gushed out from the cut surface, spilling all over the ground.

Hu Tianzhu's smile was still on his face.

He lowered his head.

A new line appeared on my stomach.

The line is located exactly three inches above the navel.

He wanted to reach out and touch it.

Before he could even raise his hand halfway, his upper body had already slid down.

boom.

The head steward's upper body was slumped on the ground, his greasy face buried in the mud.

The surroundings became quiet.

The three miners kneeling on the ground lay beside the pool of blood, trembling like leaves.

They weren't hurt by the beating, they were scared.

Further away at the edge of the mine pit, dozens of miners who were carrying ore all stopped.

Some people threw away their pickaxes, some squatted on the ground, and some even knelt down.

"No...don't kill us..."

A miner's voice came from behind the crowd, trembling with sobs.

Lin Feng lowered his hand and glanced around at the miners.

They were all emaciated and pale, with calluses and scars all over their hands.

Many people didn't even have shoes and were standing barefoot on the gravel.

"Get up, all of you."

No one dared to make a move.

Lin Feng raised his voice.

"I said get up! What are you kneeling for?"

The miners stood up one after another, their legs still trembling, but they managed to stand.

Lin Feng took out the mineral vein deed he had just received from Chen Baichuan from his storage ring and held it up.

"Listen carefully, the Chen family is gone. The patriarch is dead, the ancestor is dead, and all the guards have been wiped out."

Dozens of miners stared at each other, mouths agape.

The Chen family was wiped out?

The Chen family, who have been running rampant in the provincial capital for over a decade?

"From today onwards, this mineral vein belongs to the Beast Taming Alliance."

Lin Feng carefully put away the land deed.

"All of you, those who want to stay, continue working. Those who don't, take your travel expenses and leave. We won't make things difficult for anyone."

The miners looked at each other, but no one moved.

It's not that I don't want to leave.

They were afraid to leave, and they didn't know whether they should leave or not.

Raymond Lam added another sentence.

"Those who stay will have their wages doubled this month. From now on, they will be paid monthly without delay or arrears. If anyone dares to withhold your wages or whip you again, tell me, and I will take care of it for you."

There was a three-second silence.

At the very back of the crowd, an elderly miner with gray hair suddenly knelt down.

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"

Then the second, the third, the fourth...

A whole bunch of them knelt down in a flash.

Someone cried.

It wasn't a cry of fear, but a cry born from holding it in for too long.

They worked at Chenjia Mine for many years, had their wages withheld, and were whipped countless times, but no one cared.

Someone's taking care of things now.

Although this person's methods are ten times more ruthless than those of the Chen family.

But at least, the whip didn't lash them.

Iron Eagle stood to the side, swallowing hard.

He had been in the league for decades, served under the previous leader, and witnessed many grand occasions.

But even the old leader had never been so adept at using both kindness and severity.

Kill those who deserve to be killed, spare those who deserve to be spared; these three sentences reassured dozens of people.

He was only eighteen years old.

Tie Ying mentally processed those words before swallowing them.

"Iron Eagle".

"exist."

"Stay here and oversee the handover of the mining area. Bring in the Alliance personnel to take over. Prioritize supplying the forge with the necessary ore."

"Yes, and what about you, Alliance Leader?"

Lin Feng had already walked deeper into the mining area.

"I'll go in and take a look."

Iron Eagle was stunned for a moment.

"What are you looking at?"

Lin Feng did not turn around.

"Take a look at our mining area."
