Chapter 251 An Explosion
Suddenly, exciting shouts sounded outside the car!
“Ms. Vargas! I found a good stone in the mine!”
“Nasir took a look and said it might meet your standard!”
“He wanted you to go down and take a look!”
Zayla looked out of the car window and saw a miner, in a vest, walking towards the luxury car.
She immediately opened the car door, got out, and looked at the miner, who was sweaty and laughing happily.
“Ms. Vargas, please go into the mine and have a look! You’ll be satisfied with this stone!”
When the miner saw Zayla, he spoke enthusiastically and handed her a new helmet.
Zayla nodded, took the helmet, thanked him, and followed him toward the mine.
Just when Zayla was about to step on the rocks and go down the mine…
She lowered her head and saw a pair of hands about a foot away from her waist…
Zayla saw the lava rock bracelet on his left wrist.
She bought that bracelet at the charity event and gave it to him. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Zayla blushed. Fortunately, the mine was dimly lit. Otherwise, her sudden change of complexion might attract attention again.
“Your ears are red, and your face must be even redder.”
Suddenly, his deep voice rang in her ears. His hot breath made her neck itch.
She shrank her neck, and her legs were a little weak.
He smiled softly, putting his hands on her waist.
“Why are you so careless?”
His breath was hot. He knew why but still asked with seemingly casual teasing.
He was so bad.
Under his behavior of a gentleman, there was evilness hidden!
After entering the mine, the two followed the miner and walked toward where the stone was found.
Only then did the miner realize that Lincoln had come together.
“Mr. Nash, you come too?” The miner smiled.
Lincoln nodded, not saying much.
The mine was very large and deep, seeming to be formed naturally.
The miner explained that this mine was left long ago and could be traced back more than a hundred years ago.
The old pits here had also been excavated before, but people didn’t have the tools and technology to excavate a large area back then. Therefore, the pits excavated were only the tip of the iceberg, which was negligible.
Soon, they arrived at the place where the stone was found.
Nasir said with a smile, “Ms. Vargas, look at this stone. How about it? Isn’t it beautiful?”
Zayla took the lamp from Nasir’s hand and carefully shone lights on the stone.
Lincoln touched the stone. The outer shell was hard, and wherever the light shone shocked him.
He smiled. It was an Imperial Green stone, and Lincoln knew Zayla would be glad.
Zayla didn’t notice Lincoln’s changed expression. She put away the lamp. When she touched the stone, she burst into a beautiful smile.
She found the stone she had always wanted.
“Transport the intact stone out of the mine.”
Nasir nodded. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking it wasn’t an easy task.
Zayla looked at the miners.
“Today, the wages are tripled and paid from my personal account. Thanks, everybody.”
Everyone became passionate because they could make money.
Just when they were about to continue working, a gust of wind came from nowhere…
A slightly pungent smell came with dust!
“What’s that smell?”
“Yeah. Why is it so smelly?”
Zayla frowned.
Was it from a dynamite?
“Put down the tools and leave the mine,” Lincoln said.
Zayla also urged, “Go! Go!”
Nasir and the workers dropped their tools and ran as quickly as possible! Boom!
The first bang!
Nasir and a few workers who escaped from the mine were at the mine entrance, trying to drag everyone out!
But immediately afterward….
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
With three loud bangs, they felt shaken!
It was too late!
The impact overturned Nasir and several workers outside the mine entrance!
Inside the mine, gravel smashed down like crazy!
“Don’t run any further!”
Zayla exclaimed!
But… it was too late.
Several workers died on the spot!
The gravel kept falling!
A man held Zayla tightly in his arms!
Hiding behind a protruding boulder, they survived!
The explosion stopped, and so did the violent shaking.
Everything in the cave restored calm…
Temporary deafness made Zayla unable to hear anything…
She coughed a few times because of the huge dust after the explosion…
When Zaylá came back to her senses, she felt a pair of arms hugging her tightly. Apart from the smell of gunpowder, there was a strong smell of blood in the air…
“Lincoln!”
“Lincoln, wake up!”
Zayla gently pushed his shoulder, but it felt sticky…
