Theodore anxiously inquired, “Master Wade, what was the solution you mentioned?”
Charlie replied with amanding voice, “Theodore, my n is to send you both far away to a remote location where you will never return.”
Upon hearing this, Theodore and Rueben immediately conjured images of the Weaver family, the father and son, who were still at the foot of Golim Mountain due to their offenses against Charlie.
This winter has been brutal, with temperatures at Golim Mountain plunging as low as -20 to -30 degrees Celsius, or even colder. It’s hard to imagine how the Weaver father and son have managed to survive in such harsh conditions.
Reflecting on the unforgiving environment at Golim Mountain, Rueben broke down in tears, pleading, “Master Wade, I beg you to show mercy and let us go to prison instead. We truly don’t want to end up in the freezing cold of Golim Mountain…”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Charlie scoffed, “Don’t worry, I won’t be sending you to Golim Mountain. I have other ns for you.”
He then called out, “Isaac,e in.”
Isaac Cameron promptly entered and asked respectfully, “Master Wade, how can I assist you?”
Charlie stated, “Isaac, I understand you’ve invested in a diamond mine in Africa, correct?”
“Yes,” Isaac confirmed with a nod. “I invested in a diamond mine located at Lion Rock in Africa.”
Curious, Charlie asked, “What’s the situation like there?”
Isaac chuckled and replied, “That ce is in West Africa, one of the least developed countries globally. It has consistently ranked as one of the poorest regions, beyond your imagination…”
“Additionally, the climate is quite harsh. It’s a tropical monsoon climate, with temperatures soaring above 40 degrees at times, and dropping to around 15 degrees. It’s both humid and hot, and it’s said that eight out of ten men suffer from eczema due to the conditions. The area is overrun with mosquitoes and various infectious diseases. If it weren’t for the diamond mines, I doubt anyone would want to be there!”
Theodore and Rueben trembled in fear as they listened.
With a smile, Charlie remarked, “It sounds like Lion Mountain is an excellent choice for your exile!”
He gestured towards Theodore and Rueben and continued, “Isaac, arrange for the father and son to be sent to Lion Mountain overnight, and have them work at your diamond mine. They’ll join the local workers in the river, sifting for diamonds, and they won’t receive a single penny for their efforts. Their living conditions will mirror those of the localborers, and they will be closely monitored. For the next twenty years, they’ll never be allowed to return. Whether they cane back after twenty years will depend on their performance during that time.”
At this, Theodore and Rueben nearly lost consciousness.
Theodore cried out, “Master Wade, please spare us! The dreadful conditions at Lion Mountain will surely lead to our demise from dysentery or some other infectious disease within months. It would be kinder to shoot us than to send us there!”
Isaac smiled and reassured him, “Lord Moore, there’s no need to worry. While the natural and social conditions in Africa might be dire, we Chinese entrepreneurs who invest there are quitepassionate. Every construction site has professional doctors, and we maintain a good supply of medicine to ensure your health.”
Rueben wailed, “I don’t want to go to Africa! I don’t want to go to Lion Rock! I refuse to go to that dreadful ce to dig for diamonds! Please, just send me to prison! I deserve to face thew…”
At this point, Theodore joined in begging, “Master Wade, please reconsider and let us surrender!”<fn8685> For original chapters go to f?ndnovel</fn8685>
Charlie sneered, “Do you really believe you have any say in this? That’s just a fantasy!”
He then turned to Isaac and ordered, “Isaac, have your men take them away immediately and arrange for a ne to leave for Lion Mountain as soon as possible. It would be best if they departed this afternoon!”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
