Chapter 267: Chapter 254: We Are in Hell Right Now! (Part 2)
Ryder’s words made the throng of mine slaves hesitate, and the man who had previously begged Rupert immediately clung to Ryder as if he were his last lifeline, excitedly exclaiming, “Thank you, thank you, Ryder, I’ll go with you!”
With someone leading the way, more and more mine slaves picked up their mining picks, having made their decision…
“Rebellion, it’s a complete rebellion!” Rupert roared with rage. “I want to see who dares to move a muscle!”
The aura of authority Rupert had accumulated over the years undoubtedly was terrifying, and with the thirty armed guards surrounding them, they instantly subdued the hundreds of mine slaves.
Then, Rupert turned his gaze to Ryder, who had repeatedly challenged his authority, and now even dared to incite the mine slaves to disobey his orders, which had touched his bottom line!
Without any warning, Rupert’s whip lashed across Ryder’s body, creating an explosive gash on his chest and a surge of intense pain flooded his senses.
...
This time Ryder neither dodged nor fell, but stood his ground, staring intently at Rupert.
Rupert felt a chill in his heart from Ryder’s glare, and his gaze grew even more fierce. How dare a mine slave look at him with such eyes; it was tantamount to seeking death.
With that thought, Rupert lashed out with his whip again, this time aiming straight for Ryder’s head!
The onlooking mine slaves’ eyes blazed with bright fury. Ryder, who had the courage to stand up and resist Rupert to save his fellow mine slaves, had won the approval of the vast majority. A strong sense of anger burned in everyone’s hearts.
Ryder sensed this shift; this time he didn’t take the blow head-on but with uncanny precision, he grabbed the oncoming whip with his right hand and then rushed forward, driving the pointed end of his mining pick deep into Rupert’s eye.
Bright red blood sprayed out instantly, and a wretched scream echoed through the area. Rupert had completely failed to anticipate that the lean Ryder would lash out so suddenly and with such ruthless ferocity.
Indeed, had it been Ryder from half a month ago, he would neither have had the courage nor the skill to fight like this.
But the trials in the Dream World had transformed him. He didn’t give Rupert the chance to counterattack, but stirred the pick in his hand and drove it further into Rupert’s brain.
Rupert’s body soon fell to the ground, a large gaping hole where his right eye had been, his face frozen in an expression of disbelief and horror…
All this happened within a few seconds, catching everyone off guard. Ham and the others stood frozen, the guards included, until Rupert’s eye was pierced, only then did they snap to their senses and together, drew their swords and charged at Ryder!
“We’ve had enough! Fight back, kill them all!”
Ryder’s roar thundered through heaven and earth, and as the mine slaves’ anger was ignited, they moved instinctively. The man who had been pleading with Rupert leaped up from the ground, swinging his mining pick, and smashed it onto a guard’s head. The stingy Baron certainly wouldn’t have bothered to provide the mine overseers with luxuries like helmets, and the guard’s head burst open on impact!
More and more miners rushed in after that. The mere few dozen guards stood no chance; within minutes, they were smashed by mining picks coming from all directions.
Even so, the miners, fueled by their daily accumulation of rage, still did not spare the bodies of these people. They vented for over half an hour before everyone came to their senses and realized what they had done.
“We actually… we actually killed Rupert?!” “The Baron will surely execute all of us!” Ham, stunned and bewildered as if just realizing, screamed in horror.
Seeing the bodies of Rupert and the others on the minefield already reduced to an indistinguishable mess of flesh and mud, many of the mine slaves knelt on the ground, shivering and clearly at a loss.
“Ham! Do you really think that by staying in this minefield, we could survive?” Ryder shouted sharply. “Rupert would never care about our life or death. This time it was Carlo trapped in the disaster, next time it will be you, it will be me! Rupert wants all of us dead!”

Ryder looked at the people around him and called out loudly.
“I’ve had enough… Had enough of spending every day in the dark, sunlight-less mines, begging for scraps like a pathetic hyena, hoping that Rupert would spare us a few hard pieces of black bread, all the while worrying about when the rocks above our heads might crash down and bury us beneath the earth forever…”
“I believe you have not forgotten Timi, Fins, Tirne…”
Ryder named one after another the mine slaves who had died in the mines, some buried in disasters and others whipped to death by Rupert himself.
He spoke for several minutes, mentioning sixty to seventy names, and this was just a portion of those who had died in the past three months. To please the Baron and mine more ore, Rupert completely disregarded their lives, leading to the recent spate of frequent mining accidents.
“We can’t fight against the Baron. This is all God’s will, otherwise all of our souls will fall into hell…” Ham said with a trembling voice.
“That’s all lies!” Ryder bellowed in anger. “Wake up, Ham! There’s nothing worse than our current situation!”
“Aren’t we already in hell right now?”
Ryder’s piercing words rendered Ham speechless, and then he led the miners to open up the mine’s storeroom, allowing everyone to have a full meal. Afterward, he divided the nearly a thousand mine slaves into two groups.
One group remained at the minefield to dig and rescue those trapped like Carlo.
The other group joined him in a night raid on the guard camp at the foot of the mine, changing into the guards’ clothes and infiltrating the Baron’s domain!
Ryder acted swiftly and his plan was meticulous; he hardly expended any effort to seize the entire estate and captured the still sleeping Baron York.
The luxurious extravagance of the noble estate shocked and infuriated every miner who entered. Ryder immediately held a denunciation meeting on the spot, listing the opponent’s crimes and, one by one, stabbing the terrified Baron York into a sieve.
The last was the church. Armed with dozens of crossbow arrows scavenged from the estate, it only cost the lives of about a dozen people to execute the Priest within the church.
Although everything progressed very smoothly, Ryder was acutely aware that he had only completed the simplest step. He had to quickly rescue more mine slaves and strengthen his own team…
