A Clash of Equals

Going out drinking and getting completely drunk like this doesn't seem like he has anything in his hands at all.

However, he did not completely dismiss his suspicions and instead sent people to search the clinic.

As a result, they found nothing before Rite returned and had to return empty-handed.

When Rite arrived at the clinic and saw the messy room, a cold glint appeared in his eyes. He looked towards the restaurant and touched his chest.

He had taken the notebook with him before leaving the clinic, and while drinking, he secretly slipped it into the messenger's bag.

The messenger saw all of this clearly, and as "retaliation," he made himself participate in a round of drinking.

Sure enough, the clinic had been searched, but the items weren't with me. Even if that bastard Mondo racked his brains, he would never have guessed that the items were in that little messenger's hands.

After arriving at her lodgings, Suika asked Shanghai to tidy up the house, and then she took out the diary and began to read it.

After looking at it for a while, she took out her phone and found the legal documents of Rim Billiton that she had saved on her phone when she was in Rhodes Island.

He flipped through the pages while taking out a small notebook to do calculations.

After finishing the last chapter, he sighed.

"Seven murders, including a Miners' Association envoy who came to inspect safety, twenty-three large bribes, plus minor matters like diluting medicine with water."

According to the most basic law, the sentence would be three hundred years of imprisonment plus six death sentences.

Judging from his appearance, he wouldn't live that long, nor would he have that many heads to cut off.

So... even decent people don't keep diaries, yet you, a criminal, like to write them.

The key point is that he remembers each and every blood debt so clearly...

If you throw this diary at the debt collectors in Siracusa, they can send your entire family, up to five generations, to meet the King of Hell.

After her reflection, Suika happily took out a small notebook and wrote down, "I did a good deed today, handing over evidence of a mine owner's crimes..."

After doing all this, Suika checked the time and it was already past midnight. She yawned and then turned and crawled into bed.

The next day, after getting up in the morning, she planned to have breakfast and then go to the clinic to hand over the items to the doctor. Then, when the special envoy arrived, she would leave without a trace, concealing her merit and fame.

Before I even stepped outside, I heard a chaotic commotion outside.

"What's going on?" Suika yawned, then leaned back on the dining table, lazily watching the chaos outside.

The waiter brought her a bowl of carrot soup and a piece of toast and said...

"It seems the owner of the Mondo mine was burglarized last night, and they're searching all the trucks coming in and out."

"Huh? He's just a mine owner, yet he has so much power?"

Suika was somewhat surprised to hear this.

After all, this area is about the size of a small town, although it's not big, it still has four or five blocks.

Although this block mainly operates mining businesses, it's not enough for a single mine owner to have absolute control.

What about the official channels here?

Are they really in cahoots like this?

Thinking of this, Suika suddenly remembered something: there were so many records of bribery and corruption in that notebook, but she didn't seem to have seen any record of someone bribing the administrator of this area.

"The guest is not from Rim Billiton, so he probably doesn't know."

In many of Rim Billiton's mining operations, the mine owner is the actual manager of the block on the Mobile Block.

In our area, Mondo is both a mine owner and the town mayor.

However, he preferred the title of mine owner to town mayor, so we all called him the mine owner."

The waiter glanced at Suika's striking large horns and explained to him.

"Wow, so he's an official after all."

Suika couldn't help but smile at the thought.

She had a premonition about this, and after the waiter recounted it, her premonition came true.

That's quite normal, though.

After all, the mining of minerals is basically decided by the mine owner. However, once a mineral vein is nearly depleted, the block will move to the next mining area. If the mine owner and the mayor are two different people, and the mine owner's mining area is at point A, but the mayor moves the block to point B, then wouldn't the mine owner still be the mine owner even if they don't have mining rights in their mining area?

Therefore, for the benefit of those at the top, the power of the two must be merged.

Will ordinary people lose their right to promotion as a result?

Please, how much revenue can an ordinary person bring to the upper echelons and the country? And how much can a mine owner bring in?

The difference between the two is simply incomparable, so unless you're incredibly wealthy, the average person will basically never have the chance to become a town mayor in this kind of Mobile Block.

Even if Rite takes Mondo down this time, the mayor will be someone from the mining area who is reassigned by the higher-ups, rather than being recommended by the locals.

This is a characteristic of Rim Billiton, and Suika respects and understands it.

After all, this country is a major mining nation, and everything revolves around mining, so it's only natural that mining is the guiding principle.

Seeing the guards at the distant entrance and exit looking like they were checking every dog that was about to leave for something to hide, Suika gave up on leaving.

Of course, it wasn't that she couldn't leave, nor that she couldn't take the notebook with her; rather, she was prepared to watch the whole show.

After all, the other side is already desperate, so wouldn't it be a waste of time if we didn't watch this show?

After enjoying a delicious breakfast, Suika slung her beloved little backpack over her shoulder and strolled out under the Shanghai.

Because she had no intention of leaving, even though someone noticed this unusual little girl, no one questioned her.

After all, there weren't many armed forces in the area to begin with. They needed to keep people at the mining area, and they needed to keep guards at the mine owners' place. The rest of them were basically dealing with the drivers and miners who were unhappy about the search at the gate. They simply didn't have the spare capacity to pay attention to a little girl wandering around the city.

After walking around, Suika arrived at Rite's clinic, where the noise was even louder.

Chapter 495 A Clash of Titans

When Suika arrived, she found that Mondo and his men had already surrounded the clinic.

Seeing this, Suika didn't go over either. Instead, she went to a group of old men not far away and squatted down, imitating their actions, to watch the clinic.

"Old John, what's going on over there?"

The old men were taken aback when they heard Suika suddenly speak, but they breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that it was Suika.

"It's Lady Suika."

We don't know what happened, but Mondo started acting crazy early in the morning, bringing people to the clinic and searching everywhere for something.

If Rite hadn't been wielding a scalpel and ready to fight those guys, they would have opened all the medicines meant for treating patients.

And so, the two sides are still at a stalemate.

However, I think Mondo has lost his mind. There are quite a few Infected in this mining area. The medicine Rite has is life-saving for everyone. Mondo's actions have put him in opposition to those patients.

Look, the people from the Infected side are here.

Old John pointed to the end of the street.

At this moment, hundreds of miners, armed with various mining shovels and other "weapons," were rushing menacingly toward the clinic.

On Mondo's side, although they had a few guns and crossbows, no one thought they would dare to make a move.

After all, most people here are related by blood or marriage, and among those Infected, there may be their own relatives and friends.

Even if you have no ties to anyone, if you hurt someone, a whole host of people might be implicated behind that person.

In such a large Mobile Block, anyone who causes harm has no chance of escaping.

Suika's view on this is that this is the advantage brought about by the large number of rabbits born in a burrow.

No matter where or what country, the cohesion of a family is extremely strong.

The Infected miners who arrived quickly collided with those who were trying to stop them.

The miners on Rim Billiton's side are far superior to the laborers on Ursus' side.

Those who go down into the mines are all Infected who have been captured. To prevent Infected from causing trouble, they are generally not allowed to eat too much.

Meanwhile, the Infected miners here still enjoy many of the rights of normal people; at least they have no problem getting enough to eat.

Therefore, they were all tall and strong, much stronger than those who did not go down into the mines.

Even though they are at a significant disadvantage in terms of weaponry, their personnel are absolutely top-notch.

They are top-tier recruits who would be considered excellent even in other countries.

So even without protective suits or professional weapons, these people who were trying to stop them would collapse at the slightest touch from either side.

Soon, the Infected miners came up behind Dr. Rite.

Looking at the clinic that had been ransacked so badly it was almost unrecognizable, the patients' eyes turned red.

Fortunately, they saw the box containing the blocking agent that Rite was protecting on his chest. Rite immediately said that the agent was in the box and there was no problem.

They calmed down a bit, but their eyes still glared fiercely at Mondo.

Mondo now in a difficult position.

He hadn't expected to find nothing here, even though his mole at Rite's place said he saw Rite make a phone call yesterday, and that he seemed to have looked at a diary before making the call.

But why, why couldn't he find that diary even after searching the entire clinic?

He was now staring at the box beneath Rite.

We've searched everywhere, and this is the only box we have.

The thought that the other person valued the box so highly convinced him that the diary must be inside.

He didn't believe the other party would risk their life for just a few bottles of insignificant medicine.

He pulled out a pistol and pointed it at Rite.

"Hand over the box now, and I'll let bygones be bygones."

Rite stared coldly at Mondo, at his bloodshot, almost crazed eyes, and a smile crept onto his lips.

"This box is full of medicine for treating Oripathy. You destroyed my clinic completely just for this?"

Mondo, you're absolutely insane!

"The majority of the mineral resources in an entire block aren't enough to satisfy your appetite, and you still want to make money off this little bit? Do you have to squeeze every last drop of blood from everyone?"

"You bastard, you know what I'm talking about, hand over the box!" Mondo took a step forward, the muzzle of his gun almost touching Rite's forehead, and the madness in his tone sent a chill down everyone's spine.

Everyone was wondering what was in the box Rite was carrying that made Mondo so irrational, acting as if he would kill someone in the street just to get it back.

Just as Rite was about to retort without hesitation, he heard Suika's voice in his ear.

"Make him turn his head to look to his right rear."

Rite was startled by Suika's voice, and his gaze involuntarily drifted over, where he saw Suika standing in the middle of the road waving in their direction.

She was holding that notebook in her hand.

Rite's absent-minded look made Mondo subconsciously follow his gaze.

The next second, he charged at Suika like a mad dog that had broken free of its reins.

Facing the Boar Rush Mondo, Suika calmly turned around, playfully twisted her body, and then ran to the other side of the street with her notebook in hand and cheerful laughter.

"Damn it, all of you, get her! We have to catch her!" After Mondo's voice rang out, his men stopped surrounding the clinic and rushed towards the street where Suika was.

Rite tried to stop her, but then he heard Suika's voice again.

"I'll hold them off. After you've settled the clinic, wait for the city's messenger at the entrance."

Old John has my satchel; he'll come and give it to you. Remember to keep it safe.

The notebook is in my satchel. Remember, do not open it until the messenger arrives, lest someone inside tip off us and ruin everything."

Although he didn't know how Suika could hear his voice while being far away from him, he chose to trust her.

"Everyone, please help me tidy up this place," Rite said after taking a couple of deep breaths.

"Doctor, what should we do about the girl?"

Need a helping hand?

Although the Infected next to him didn't know what had happened, judging from Mondo's expression as if he wanted to devour her alive, he guessed that what the girl was holding must be very important.

Rite thought for a moment and said to him
