Chapter 318 Open-pit Diamond Mine

Andrew had his own shrewd calculations; he saw that Ye Bufan was no ordinary person, and immediately wanted his son to build a good relationship with him, believing it would bring countless benefits in the future.

Ye Bufan said, “Alright then, my friend has already booked my accommodation, so I can just come back tomorrow morning.”

“How can that be? You are now a distinguished guest of our Andrew family; I cannot let you stay in an outside guest room. The conditions there can in no way compare to here.”

Andrew said very enthusiastically, “Moreover, Henry’s illness has just recovered, and only with Master Ye staying at home can my heart be at ease.”

“Alright then, I’ll stay here for one night.”

Ye Bufan took out his phone and called Big Gold Tooth, telling him that he had already cured Henry and would be staying overnight at Andrew’s house.

On the other end of the phone, Big Gold Tooth was so surprised he couldn’t close his mouth. As a member of Xuanyuan Pavilion, he lacked no information and naturally knew how difficult Henry’s illness was to cure, never expecting Ye Bufan to completely heal him so quickly.

After Ye Bufan and his companion settled in, Andrew generously arranged a lavish dinner.

As the top magnate in South F Country, his manor had chefs from various countries, and the dinner was extremely sumptuous.

During the meal, Ye Bufan asked Henry, “Where did you pick up that dirty thing on you?”

At this time, Henry had showered and changed clothes; he was a very handsome Caucasian Young man, and comparatively, his personality was much more straightforward than the smooth Andrew’s.

“It’s like this, Master Ye, I’ve loved adventure since I was a child. A few days ago, a friend accidentally got a Treasure Trove map, and we wanted to try and take a look.”

“We searched for a full week and finally found the cave indicated by the Treasure Trove map, but as soon as we reached the cave entrance, I lost my memory, and I don’t know what happened afterward.”

Andrew said, “Henry was discovered by a friend from a tribe and sent back. He knew this was my son. It is said that all seven or eight of their friends died, and they all died very tragically.”

“Henry was the only survivor, in a comatose state at the time. When he came back, he suddenly went mad, attacking anyone he saw, and he was incredibly strong, completely uncontrollable.”

Henry asked, “Master Ye, do you know what’s going on?”

Ye Bufan said, “I’m not clear about the specific situation, but I know you’ve been affected by a curse, which should be the power left by predecessors to guard the Treasure Trove.”

“Oh!” Andrew nodded his head and said to his son, “Don’t run around anymore. How dangerous are such things? If Master Ye hadn’t stepped in to help, you would have been completely finished this time.”

Henry said with a regretful expression, “It’s just a pity I didn’t see what was inside that Treasure Trove.”

Andrew angrily said, “Our family has so much money, what Treasure Trove are you still looking for? Isn’t that enough for you to spend?”

Henry shook his head: “Dad, this isn’t about money, I’m just curious.”

Seeing that Andrew was about to lose his temper, he quickly said, “But don’t worry, I know my abilities are insufficient, and I won’t go casually again in the future.”

He then looked at Ye Bufan and said, “Master Ye, you are so powerful, how about we go to the Treasure Trove together and take a look?”

“Absolutely not! Haven’t you learned enough from this lesson?”

Andrew immediately interjected to stop him. Although he had witnessed Ye Bufan’s methods, who knew what monsters and ghosts were inside that mysterious cave.

He only had this one son, and he couldn’t bear any more risks.

Ye Bufan also said, “Let’s forget it. I have many things to attend to recently.”

He truly had no great interest in such Western Treasure Troves. If it were an ancient relic of an Eastern Cultivator, he would definitely go and see it no matter what.

The next morning, after breakfast, Henry took Ye Bufan and He Shuangshuang into an Audi and drove towards the outskirts of the city.

Behind them, bodyguards sent by Andrew followed in two off-road vehicles.

After getting in the car, Ye Bufan realized that this car had extremely strong defense; it was actually bulletproof.

But it was understandable; in such an extremely chaotic place, wealthy individuals like them had to absolutely ensure their safety.

Henry drove and said, “Master Ye, when you see Gangbos later, you must be careful. That guy looks smiling, but he’s actually very bad.”

Ye Bufan said, “You don’t like him either?”

“Of course not, he’s just a cunning old fox, the really bad kind.”

Although he was a merchant’s son, Henry was very straightforward and couldn’t stand the merchant’s profit-driven ways.

He couldn’t say much about his own father, Andrew, but he was impolite to others.

As they walked, he introduced Gangbos’s situation.

“This guy, I don’t know what kind of luck he had, but 10 years ago, he spent 200,000 to buy a piece of land. At that time, experts believed that diamonds could absolutely not be produced here.”

“But once it was in Gangbos’s hands, he successively unearthed two huge diamonds weighing over 100 carats, which caused a sensation across the entire Africa continent and even the whole world at that time.”

“Since then, his diamond business has grown bigger and bigger, and he has successively bought 11 more diamond mines, becoming the foremost diamond mine owner in Africa.”

Ye Bufan said, “Then what kind of mine are we going to today?”

He was indeed very curious, having never seen what a diamond mine looked like.

Henry said, “This is an open-pit diamond mine he recently bought. Its scale is very large; it can be said to be one of the largest open-pit diamond mines in South F Country.”

He Shuangshuang said in surprise, “There are open-pit diamond mines too?”

Henry said, “Of course there are. That’s why I said that guy got lucky; you can easily pick up diamonds in this mine.”

As they walked and chatted, although Henry was not a businessman, he was very knowledgeable about diamonds and taught them a lot of related information.

After driving for about an hour, covering over 100 kilometers, he parked the car by the roadside and said, “Master Ye, we’ve arrived.”

Ye Bufan and He Shuangshuang got out of the car, looked around, and were bewildered. He asked, “Is this a diamond mine?”

Before their eyes was a vast open field, completely different from the imagined diamond mine.

In his impression, there should be countless workers toiling here, and the roar of machinery should be everywhere, not the current quiet scene.

Here was just a large expanse of open fields. What distinguished it from ordinary farmlands was that it was enclosed by simple barbed wire, and every few hundred meters, an armed security guard could be seen standing there on guard.

But it was boundless here, and the surroundings were desolate, so people generally wouldn’t come here to cause trouble. A security guard not far from them was leisurely sitting on a stone, smoking.

About thirty to forty meters from the car, a three-story small building had been constructed. This should be where diamonds were stored and where miners and security guards lived.

As a Huaxia person, it was truly hard to imagine that the largest open-pit diamond mine in all of South F Country was so rudimentary.

“Henry, my dearest nephew, welcome to my place.”

At this moment, a tall white man walked out of the small building, followed by seven or eight armed bodyguards.

Henry whispered in Ye Bufan’s ear, “That’s Gangbos.”
