The next day.
Xu Guang was in his room checking the accounts; the mine's ledgers were perfectly done, with all expenses and income marked in great detail. At first glance, there seemed to be no problems.
Lei Dong came to visit.
"Young Master Xu, last night I spent the night in the mine with a few elders and finally found some clues about the reduced production."
"Oh?"
Lei Dong had a fawning look, "The Phoenix Stone in Mine Number Nine is somewhat depleted, and a mysterious pit has appeared near Mine Number Seven which we hadn't noticed. I suspect the disappearances and deaths of the barbarian mine slaves are related to this pit."
Xu Guang looked at Lei Dong with a faintly amused expression.
"Didn't you, the mayor, notice the depletion of the mine?"
