Chapter 1178: Chapter 605: Those Who Are Not of Our Kind Must Have Different Hearts!_3

"Damn it, that was terrifying! Becoming a professional manager here could drive a person insane, and I nearly died!"

Although I made a lot of money, my life is more important!

"Okay, then handle your handover. After that, you can leave anytime."

Sean Knight was aware that Elijah Hastings really wasn’t cut out for work here, at least not for a short time.

However, Sean Knight didn’t give him any special treatment. While packing his luggage, Sean Knight could see through his Sky Eye that this guy was taking at least one kilogram of gold. That’s his bonus.

Sean Knight didn’t expose him, but he also didn’t mention anything about renewing the contract.

It seemed this guy wouldn’t come back anyway.

Next was Antony Carter.

Sean Knight actually felt sorry for him.

Antony Carter clearly had the potential to become a big shot, but it was unexpected that he ended up like a bear with a sore head.

When Antony Carter was brought over, his face was swollen and bruised; he had clearly been dealt with.

"Why did you betray me?" Sean Knight asked flatly.

"Why?" Antony Carter looked at Sean Knight, his gaze filled with mockery and a hint of reluctance. "What else? They offered more money! So what if I became the security guard captain? With that little money, what could I do?

They’ve only been here for several months, and I’ve built a villa, had my fun with women, and got a house in Ulan Bator. Why wouldn’t I betray?"

Well, that was an unsolvable problem.

When a person makes money their ultimate goal, concepts like loyalty and morality really hold no sway over them.

"Break his legs, then throw him out in the wilderness of the small town to fend for himself," Sean Knight said with a wave of his hand.

"You can’t do this!" Antony Carter turned pale when he heard Sean Knight’s orders. If his legs were broken and he was thrown into the wasteland, he wouldn’t even survive the night before becoming food for hungry wolves!

He thought Sean Knight would sue him, which would give him a chance to bail himself out.

After all, this is Mongolia, where many locals aren’t so friendly towards Chinese people.

He had even thought that once in jail, and upon release, he would have a hundred ways to get back at Sean Knight!

But if he were really to have his legs broken and be thrown into the wasteland, then today would be his last day in this world!

"You sealed your fate the moment you helped those Japanese soldiers," Sean Knight said emotionlessly. "Even if you had taken some gold home for yourself, I wouldn’t treat you like this. But you crossed a line with me."

Without waiting for Antony Carter to argue, he gestured for it to be done.

Screams from Antony Carter came from outside, then faded into the distance.

The site where Antony Carter’s legs were broken didn’t avoid the miners.

Not just Antony Carter, but those team members who betrayed with him also had their legs broken and were thrown into the wilds.

Watching the cars drive away, some family members were crying and cursing, while others quietly followed, hoping to save their loved ones.

Sean Knight didn’t order the team members to stop them. This act was merely a warning—to those who didn’t recognize the pecking order and those greedy fools, making it clear who was in charge here.

Of course, there was no chance of saving Antony Carter. While others might have their legs broken and be thrown into the wild, Carter would be taken much further away. Even if his family found him, he would likely be dead by then.

Then Sean Knight waited for the result.

The result of interrogating those few Japanese.

Meeting Elijah Hastings was to understand the sequence of events; meeting Antony Carter was to hear why he betrayed—and it was perhaps an opportunity for Carter, but one he didn’t take.

As for those Japanese, there was really no need to meet them. He thought Douglas Cooper and his people would have ways to make them talk.

As for the technicians, he left them to Elijah Hastings to appease. These matters were irrelevant to them; they just needed to do their jobs well.

The gold mine continued to operate. Although there might be a hiccup somewhere, it didn’t affect the overall process.

After Elijah Hastings left, Sean Knight began reviewing the documents.

This was a fairly rich mine, with ore containing approximately twenty-four grams of gold per ton—by international standards, mining is profitable if the grade is above three grams per ton. And with the current processing capacity of the mine, several kilograms of gold could be mined each day.

That was an impressively high number.

While converting it to money didn’t amount to much in Sean Knight’s assets, it was certainly a huge fat chunk for a gold mine.

That’s why it caught the attention of the Japanese.

Sean Knight felt that this was a lesson for himself.

He decided to bring over a team of security personnel to stay here long term.

He had always thought that the locals weren’t too fond of Chinese people, so it seemed like a very good idea to work with the locals as a way to maintain long-term mining operations.

But Antony Carter’s actions had shown him that blood is thicker than water. He had recruited Carter’s team as security personnel out of good intent by giving them work. But in their eyes, they deserved more.

They wouldn’t think about how they once didn’t have a penny to their name; they just felt that since the mine was Sean’s, why not betray it, as long as they could get their hands on tangible benefits.

Insatiable greed!

While Sean Knight was reflecting, Antony Carter was howling and begging for mercy.

He was full of regret, never expecting Sean Knight to be so ruthless as to leave him to die!

He had decades of riches and comfort ahead that he hadn’t been able to enjoy yet. Dragging his broken legs, as he saw the other team members being dumped in the wilderness just tens of kilometers from the mine while he remained in the car, he knew the intention of those team members.

Or rather, Sean Knight’s intention.

If all those team members had been dealt with, Antony Carter might have felt some satisfaction, thinking that Sean Knight’s mine would eventually be taken down by the locals in retaliation.

But now that he was the only one being punished, the locals would not only refrain from hating Sean Knight but would be grateful to him for sparing those people!

The unfortunate one was only himself!

Although those were the ones he had seduced into betrayal, he shouldn’t have suffered this punishment alone!

Unfortunately for him, the team members showed no reaction to his wailing.

He had it coming.

Sean Knight was waiting, and just as nightfall approached, Elijah Hastings and his two associates arrived at the office together.

The results were in.
