Fate seemed to enjoy playing tricks on people. Just when he was focused on peaceful development, he unexpectedly discovered that his territory concealed an iron mine! This revelation filled him with both excitement and concern.
In the heyday of the family, a mere iron mine would have been nothing significant. Not to mention an iron mine, even a more precious and rare gold mine would not have garnered much attention from the White Family. After all, at that time, the White Family was powerful and filled with experts, easily capable of safeguarding a gold mine.
However, this iron mine, while valuable, posed a challenge for the current White Family. It would not be easy to seize and control it, as the experts within the family were all trapped in their territory and unable to venture out. Thus, the burden of solving this dilemma fell squarely on Redman and his good brother-in-law, John.
At this moment, Redman gazed expectantly towards Salty Fish Village, pondering to himself: I never thought I would one day need to rely on my little brother to get through a crisis. Life is full of surprises.
As they slowly left Salty Fish Village, John appeared unusually relaxed and calm, as if he had completely forgotten the troubles and worries brought by children. At that moment, he strolled leisurely along the familiar path, feeling particularly cheerful.
Along the way, various colorful flowers competed for attention, blooming vibrantly; the lush green grass swayed gently in the wind like waves in a green ocean; the fresh air was filled with a faint floral fragrance that uplifted the spirit; butterflies danced gracefully like beautiful fairies, flitting playfully among the flowers, their brilliantly colored wings shimmering under the sunlight.
Initially, John intended to take his time on the road and fully enjoy this rare tranquility and beauty. To his surprise, what usually felt like an endlessly long journey seemed to pass in an instant today. Before he knew it, the magnificent castle was already in sight. Although he felt a bit reluctant to leave behind such beauty, John had no choice but to lead his men toward the castle.
When they finally arrived at the castle entrance, a booming voice suddenly rang out: "John, I'm here!"
Looking up, John saw Redman approaching with a broad smile. Perhaps due to their differing strengths or because Redman had come seeking assistance this time, John's impression was that Redman displayed an obvious humility that suggested he had come with a request.
As John gazed at this man whom he once regarded as an elder brother, he couldn't help but feel a wave of nostalgia. The once spirited and ambitious older brother now seemed gradually obscured by mundane matters of territory and the complex situations outside, appearing somewhat submissive and deferential.
The passage of time and pressures of life seemed to have dulled the vitality and passion deep within him, evoking a sense of melancholy.
John shook his head to dispel such thoughts and cupped his hands in front of Redman. "Brother, please tell me what’s going on."
"Not so fast; let’s eat first," Redman said as he pulled John toward the dining table.
As they exchanged drinks and pleasantries, Redman waited for the atmosphere to settle before speaking. "Little brother, I assume you've seen the contents of my letter. I’ve discovered an iron mine here; unfortunately, my strength is too limited at this point. I’d like to ask you to help with its extraction. We can split the profits fifty-fifty; what do you think?"
John was taken aback by his brother's request and found himself at a loss for words.
