The Son-In-Law Shot to Fame novel Chapter 861

The more peaceful the time is, the more valuable human lives were. Moreover, Raphael's guards were well-trained.

Raphael highly valued his subordinates, and as a testament to that, he offered them compensation money three times the market price. This generous gesture fostered unwavering loyalty among his subordinates, and they never had any complaints.

However, no matter how wealthy he was, he couldn't let his subordinates die. This was why he had traveled all the way to Pollerton to meet Donald. He was confident that Donald could solve any problem in the world.

“Very well, then. I understand what happened, and I have only one night off. You'll send me home yourself tomorrow at nine in the morning?”

“Sure, of course!” Raphael was elated as Donald had agreed to his request.

He brought Donald to the top floor of the restaurant to the helicopter that had been waiting there for a long time. They boarded the helicopter and flew to the spirit stone mine where the explosion happened.

Ferwick Island was situated in the Patos Ocean, yet it remained absent from any map. When the helicopter landed on the base of the island, Donald noticed two teams of people directing their gazes at him.

“Who are they?” Donald asked, realizing that they wore different uniforms.

“The guards from the Suarez family and the Cox family. They caught wind of the trouble here and arrived to seize my business from me.”

“What do you mean?”

Raphael let out a deep sigh and explained, “Spirit stone mines are scarce resources, so obtaining the rights to mine took a considerable amount of time for me. Tragically, before I made any progress, fifty men lost their lives here. This incident displeased the committee responsible for approving my mining permit. They sent both the Suarez family and the Cox family here to compete fairly. The one who can resolve the issue will rightfully claim ownership of this island.”

No wonder Raphael insisted on my help. If he couldn't solve the problem today, he would lose the rights to the spirit stone mine.
