Chapter 475Chapter 475 Big Trouble
Currently, the foreign population in Salinsburgh had exceeded its native people. There were countless
mines throughout the mountain.
Entertainment places like hotels, pubs, and karaoke grew gradually. Most people interested in the
stones were wealthy people, and they had high spending ability.
Dominic stopped by the entrance of a restaurant. “Mr. Chance, you must be hungry. Let’s eat
something and then go back to the hotel to rest!”
Jared nodded and got out of the car with Dominic.
The restaurant was not very big, but its ancient-style design was pretty.
“Mr. Chance, don’t judge the place by its size. This is the most famous restaurant in this town. Many
people come here to eat. Tessa, the superstar, will always come here whenever she visits
Salinsburgh,” Dominic introduced the place as they were walking.
Dominic wanted to book a private lounge, but Jared stopped him. Since there were only two of them,
the latter figured there was no need for a lounge.
With that, they found a quiet spot and sat down. Dominic purposely ordered a few local cuisines.
While they were waiting for their food, Jared scanned the surroundings. He noticed a few
Grandmasters eating in the restaurant.
How could there be so many elites in this town? I nearly thought it was Martial Arts Gathering in
Tayhaven Town.“It seems strange. Usually, there won’t be so crowded even if it’s the peak hour. When I was here these
few days, I noticed many strangers coming to the mountain. It looks like more and more people come
here for stone gambling!”
novelbinDominic immediately explained as he noticed Jared staring at the other customers.
However, Jared felt those people did not look like gamblers. They ate in groups and barely even talked
to each other.
“Are the stones in Mount Hickoria open for everyone to collect?” Jared asked.
“No. It will be a mess if it were. It used to be. However, the biggest mine is occupied by the Fergusons,
the Synders, and the Larsons. The other smaller mines that the three families are not interested in are
occupied by the rest. Mr. Ferguson is one of them. His mine is in the southeast, nearest to the
mountain top.”
Dominic pointed out the window toward Mount Hickoria, which looked remarkably close to them.
“I see!” Jared nodded.
When their orders arrived, Jared stopped the waiter. “Pardon. May I ask if anything happened in
Salinsburgh? Why do I feel as if everyone is in a haste?”
Seeing so many Grandmasters around made Jared feel uncomfortable. Something must have
happened or is going to happen!
“There’s nothing. I am just a waiter, though. I have no idea!”
The waiter shook his head, but his eyes seemed evasive. Obviously, he knows something.“We are not from around here. We are just asking. No offense!”
As Jared spoke, he took out a pile of cash and put it into the waiter’s pocket. There were at least a few
thousand.
The waiter scanned around and hesitated for a while. Then, he whispered, “Let me tell me. There is a
new discovery of a vein mine in Mount Hickoria. I heard it is full of gemstones. The Fergusons, the
Snyders, and the Larsons are gathering their troops. I fear war is about to start in Salinsburgh. I
overheard it from a lounge. Remember, you guys didn’t hear it from me!”
Upon saying that, the waiter left abruptly.
“A new vein mine?” Dominic was stunned. “I have been here for days, so why didn’t I hear of it?”
