It's okay for me to bully my wife for the sake of the young master's dignity, right?

Chapter 114 [043] In the case of extreme anger, it is reasonable to upgrade
Qin Jiandan has no night vision ability, and Master Tie Xin's luminous crystal energy sword is now blocking behind a huge rock. If they are left too far away by the main force, it will be difficult to find them.

"Ta Ta Ta Ta..."

Qin Jiandan ran for a while and finally saw the light of a flashlight in front of him.

The flashlight was pointing at a large cave on the cave wall. The entire group stopped and observed the situation inside the cave with frowns.

"Why don't you keep going?" Qin Jiandan stopped in front of Walei, "I buried Master Tie Xin behind the landslide boulder, but it can only delay her for a while!"

Valei glanced at Qin Jiandan and confirmed that there were no new wounds on his body.

Qin Jiandan then noticed the things in the cave. There were at least 20 skeletons lying in a mess!
They were all dressed in miners' clothes, but their mining equipment had been stripped away, leaving only tattered cloth stained with mud and blood.

Judging from the degree of decay of the bloodstained clothes, these people had not been dead for too long. They turned into skeletons because they were eaten by mutant rats in the tunnel. When Vale and others used flashlights to illuminate them, the rats fled in all directions.

"This is roughly the fate of mining slaves." Qin Jiandan sighed, but was not prepared to stay any longer.

The miners in the spider web tunnels either died of exhaustion or phlogiston disease, and resisting the slave owners would only cause their collars to explode...

Huh? Collar explosion?

Qin Jiandan observed the skeletons again and found that their skulls were all intactly connected to the cervical vertebrae, and there was no slave collar to be seen in the cave.

Tom Chen said, "Master, these skeletons seem to have been executed en masse, but it's strange that they didn't die from the explosion of the collars."

Chen Tom, who turned into the Fury cat man, had a strong defense. He was hit by the sword wind of Master Tie Xin and only had a wound on his chest. The bleeding was stopped after being treated by the bodyguard.

"I'm going to die! Wuuuuu..." Ding Ling turned his back and didn't dare to look at the skeletons.

For the first time, a look of sadness appeared between Vale's brows:

"Jiandan, there might be Lao Wang's son in here. We just had the fried chicken Lao Wang made at noon today..."

"What?" Qin Jiandan was shocked. "What evidence do you have?"

Vale's fingers gently stroked the submachine gun, and the repeated flicks of his fingertips showed the owner's hesitation:
"When I called the sheriff, she said that the case you asked her to investigate regarding the disappearance of Lao Wang's son has made some progress. He might have been deceived into joining the Ni'an Society and then forced to go down to the mines to dig."

"Mining slaves have no human rights, but the company will have their death records. The sheriff found out that there was a failed miners' uprising recently, and this is probably the case..."

Qin Jiandan clenched his fists and stared at the skeletons in the cave, but the equally miserable deaths could not reveal who was Lao Wang's son.

"Ware, you...why are you telling me now that the old king's son has become a slave laborer?"

The dog-eared girl's eyes sank:
"When the sheriff investigated, the uprising had already happened for several days. Because I can't be 100% sure of this bad news, I want to find out more details before telling you, just in case there is still hope..."

Valei handed Qin Jiandan a rough palm-sized notebook, the cover of which was soaked in blood:
"After the slave owner executed the rebels, he took away all their equipment, but he didn't take this diary. Maybe you would like to take a look at it."

"It's too late!" Qin Jiandan took the diary and immediately forced it to Ding Ling, who was facing the wall and thinking about his mistakes. "Read it out! Everyone keep running!"

"But, but..." Ding Ling held the diary in her hands with tears in her eyes, "My eyes will be damaged if I run and read at the same time, and I need to go to the bathroom!"

"If you want to go to the toilet, stay here!" Qin Jiandan glared at Ding Ling fiercely, "Anyway, there's a crazy nun behind you. If she chops you down with her sword, you'll be done for!"

Ding Ling had no choice but to run after him breathlessly, struggling to decipher the handwriting in the diary.

Qin Jiandan slowed down. If he ran at full speed, not only Ding Ling beside him, but even Vale and Chen Tom who transformed into a Fury cat-man would fall behind.

Amid the footsteps of 10 people, Rabbit Reporter began to read from his diary in a trembling sobbing voice:
"...I was deceived. The Ni'an Society had no intention of supporting me to study in the inner city. My money and belongings were taken away, and I was severely beaten."

"There were several other people who were also deceived. We signed the indenture under the threat of death and became the lowest kind of mining slaves."

“It was only when I entered the marginal mining area controlled by the cowboy group that I regretted for the first time that I did not learn how to cook fried chicken from my father.”

Qin Jiandan couldn't help but step on the stone road under his feet, causing cracks to appear. He confirmed that this diary was written by Old Wang's son.

"…People die every day. The Cowboys seem to enjoy abusing slave laborers. Rumor has it that the more painful the miners are, the brighter the color of the phlogiston crystal will be." Ding Ling tripped over the cave wall and almost fell. She didn't dare stop to rest, so she gritted her teeth and followed Qin Jiandan's footsteps.

"I made many new friends while digging for crystals day after day. One of them was very special. Her name was "Aku". She and her entire tribe of dwarf ratmen were captured by the cowboys and forced to do hard labor."

"Dwarf rat-men?" Chen Tom, who was quite hostile to rats, interrupted, "That inferior creature is not extinct yet? I thought it only existed in legends, meow!"

Qin Jiandan scolded, "Shut up! I'm concentrating on listening to Lao Wang's son's diary!"

Chen Tom quickly shut up. He realized that the young master was really angry. Lao Wang seemed to be just a fried chicken maker. Why did the young master care about him so much?

Ding Ling flipped through her diary and continued to read. As a reporter, she was gradually moved by the real record in her hands:

"The dwarf rat man is more like a giant rat wearing clothes than a human being. Aku can even stand on my palm with his feet together."

"Aku and her tribesmen were all wrapped in rags and wore tiny work gloves and shoes. It was a bit funny to be honest."

"It is said that they are the last dwarf ratmen. The cowboys captured them just to take advantage of their small size and force them to dig in narrow tunnels."

Ding Ling felt her bladder making a whine, but she was drawn to the diary and could only continue:

"Aku always has a rat-like face, which makes people feel that she is depressed. If my entire tribe was captured to mine, I would definitely not be happy."

"She called me 'Mr. Wang'. Only when she called me that would I remember that my father on the ground was still waiting for me to come back."

Vale looked away. She was an orphan raised by the company, with no living relatives, but she was not good at dealing with the death of her relatives.

"Aku told me about the underground lair where she and her tribe used to hide, and I told her about my father's fried chicken shop."

"Aku was very surprised. She kept asking me what fried chicken was and what it tasted like. The dwarf rats are called "miner rats" here. Like other miners, they can only eat moldy and hardened plant mud."

“I told Ah Ku that although District 3, where my father opened his shop, is not paradise, if you are willing to work hard, you can even eat all-you-can-eat fried chicken.”

Qin Jiandan often eats all-you-can-eat fried chicken, and he thinks Lao Wang’s fried chicken is the most delicious thing in the world.

"After listening to me, Aku longed for Area 3. She worked 22 hours a day, and always prayed before she could finally fall asleep, hoping to be reborn in a world where she could have enough food to eat."

"I thought Aku should live to eat fried chicken, so I told her about the uprising I had secretly planned. Aku took the risk to persuade the tribesmen to use their thin and hard rat teeth to destroy the explosive collar from an angle that ordinary people could not reach."

"However, we were short of weapons. Although we succeeded in killing several overseers, we were ultimately defeated by the cowboys' counterattack. Our lives will end today."

"I don't regret it. At least we didn't die as slaves. I just feel sorry for Aku. I'm afraid she and her people will be executed soon."

"Perhaps no one will be able to read this diary, and no one will expose the evil deeds of the Nyan Society. Aku, I and countless other fellow miners will eventually become innocent souls in the spider web tunnels without anyone paying attention to us. But I am hoping for a miracle..."

The diary broke off here, and the pages at the back were stuck together by thick blood and could not be torn apart at all.

Rabbit reporter broke down and cried:
"This is too much! This is too much! How can you mistreat the miners like this! Don't those guys from the Nyan Society have mothers?"

Qin Jiandan stopped, and the others followed suit. Qin Jiandan took the diary from Ding Ling and gave it to Valei to put in the travel bag behind her.

Vale heard Qin Jiandan's teeth grinding. The man, the young master of the Night Dragon Society, was furious because of a fried chicken apprentice who gave up halfway.

"I won't let the cowboys off! Once I find their mining base, I'll kill them all! Skin them and pull out their tendons!"

Qin Jiandan's burst of boundless anger frightened Ding Ling so much that she fell to the ground and almost lost control of her bladder.

A strange light was reflected on the wall of the cave, and everyone looked surprised. Only then did Qin Jiandan notice the changes in his arms.

Because of extreme anger, he inadvertently used the "Steel Armor Breathing Technique" with his arms, and several streams of light were stimulated along the meridians under his skin. Pure flames ignited on the tip of his left fist, and extremely cold frost formed on the tip of his right fist.

The flames converged straight, the frost condensed into sharp edges, and two blades appeared out of thin air, cutting through the floating dust in the air with a cold and lonely anger.

This... Master demonstrated these two things in the martial arts training ground, but he only let me take a look and never taught me! Why do I use them when I get angry?
