He stood there dumbfounded, unable to hear what was being said on the other end of the phone, with only the words 'priceless' echoing in his mind...
Thinking about the valuable mineral resources he missed, Baruk felt like his heart was bleeding!
"No way!"
His eyes suddenly flashed, turning gritted and fierce, "Those Easterners definitely knew all along that there were precious mineral resources in the Demon Mine!"
Baruk was furious, "I've been played!"
He always felt something was off, and now, thinking back, it must have been as he suspected; those Easterners surely knew there were valuable assets in the Demon Mine and deliberately set a trap to deceive him!
Not only did he lose such a chance to amass wealth, he even specially sent people to help guard the mines for them?
Reflection on this, Baruk felt as if he'd been slapped fiercely, harder than any ghost's blow!
"That slap, surely it was their doing as well!"
