Gold Rush Starts in the Bering Sea

Chapter 46: Unlucky Old Rido

The next day, everyone slept in late, as if by prior arrangement.

When Jason got up, it was almost ten o'clock. After drawing back the curtains and opening the window, and washing up, Jason went to the hotel restaurant.

I ordered bacon and fried eggs, along with a sandwich and a glass of milk. It was a simple yet satisfying breakfast.

Gradually, the restaurant became more and more crowded. Although the hotel was small and the ingredients were not top-notch, the food was quite good.

"Hello, thank you for yesterday."

Just as Jason was eating with his head down, a crisp sound rang out, making him look up.

Jason was somewhat bewildered as he looked at the blonde woman in front of him, who had a beautiful face, wore light makeup, and had a smile on her face.

"My name is Endy. Do you remember that little girl from yesterday? I'm her older sister," Endy explained with a smile, noticing Jason's confusion.

"Oh," Jason said, nodding. "It's nice to meet you. Are you here for tourism?"

Endy laughed and replied, "Yes, my sister played with the kids here yesterday, and I went with her because I was worried. I didn't expect her to be so greedy."

"They're just kids, it's normal," Jason said understandingly.

While Jason was chatting with Endy, Brent and the others, who had just arrived at the restaurant, spotted them immediately.

"No wonder Jason didn't go to the bar yesterday, so he had plans," Brent said quietly, his expression quite intriguing, as if afraid Jason would hear him.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is youth~" Andy chuckled.

"Quiet down, quiet down, let's go back first, otherwise Jason will feel embarrassed," Ada pulled the crowd, not wanting to ruin her younger brother's good time.

Gossip will always be something people love to eat, especially Jason's.

Hiding in a corner, out of Jason's sight, the group ate their melon with great interest. Breakfast was something they could eat whenever they wanted.

"What are you doing?" Albert asked curiously, looking at the group of people who looked like thieves.

"Shh, Dad, keep it down," Ada quickly gestured, indicating that her father should look for himself.

When Albert saw Jason having dinner with a beautiful girl, he couldn't suppress his smile and grinned, "Jason's quick! He's only been here a day and he's already met such a pretty girl. He's finally figured things out!"

"No, I have to let Lillian see it."

Before long, the corner was filled with onlookers.

Jason couldn't see it from his angle, but Entic saw it, covered her mouth and laughed, then asked Jason, "Jason, are those your family members?"

Jason was speechless as he looked at the excited crowd hiding there. He knew all too well that typical "spectator" expression.

"Come on over here, stop hiding," Jason waved, his tone helpless.

"Hello, I'm Brent, Jason's employee," Brent introduced himself first, elevating Jason's status.

"Hello, I'm Andy, and I'm also Jason's employee."

"I'm Swail, and I'm this kid's employee."

……

Endy's expression was priceless. He had assumed Jason was there for tourism, but it turned out that some of these people were actually his employees.

What surprised her even more was that Jason was actually a gold prospector.

"Alright, alright, let them eat in peace," Jason interrupted the introduction, since this was a restaurant and such a large group of people would inevitably disturb others.

"And another thing," Jason said with a sidelong glance, "we've only just met, so get your expressions to yourself."

Brent made a zipping gesture over his mouth, but the expression on his face was quite intriguing.

Before leaving, Ada patted Jason on the shoulder, clearly not believing his words.

Apart from that, everyone else either gave Jason a thumbs up or clenched their fists in encouragement.

Jason almost laughed in anger, and offered no explanation.

While chatting with Enti, Jason finished his breakfast and said goodbye to Enti.

Jason believes in love, but he doesn't believe it will happen to him, especially in his past life. As a working man, he went on many blind dates, but the results were not satisfactory.

So, what is love? Right now, all he wants is money!

Enti is very beautiful, but it's only our first meeting, and we don't know if we'll ever see each other again.

Endy's gaze shifted as she looked at Jason, who was holding his plate without a trace of lingering affection, and a wave of emotion washed over her.

She knew her situation, and every man she met would try to get close to her. This was the first time she had met a man who simply chatted with her.

"Looks like it's not true after all~" Lillian looked at her son, sighing and feeling disappointed in him.

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, what's going on?! What's happening?!" Brent stared wide-eyed as Endy caught up with Jason.

Endy borrowed a pen from the counter, wrote down her contact information, handed it to Jason, and didn't say much, just made a phone call gesture.

"As expected of my son, he has the same flair I had back then!" Albert slapped his thigh excitedly.

He was met with Lillian's sharp gaze and dangerous tone: "Honey, can you tell me about yourself when you were young?"

"Haha, I was just bragging, yes, just bragging," Albert forced a stiff smile.

He casually stuffed the phone number into his pocket. This was the first time he had encountered such a proactive girl. As for whether or not to contact her, he would think about it later.

We won't continue today; we'll rest for a day.

Jason then led Cass and the others off, but they weren't going to the place Swell had mentioned.

On the way to the town, Jason saw many gold prospectors digging for gold. They were doing it openly and honestly, so it was clear that they were all legitimate.

Everything cannot be done entirely by Swail and Ronaldo; he also needs to forge his own path. Jason's purpose in coming here is to communicate with them and understand the situation.

Bringing Cass and the others along was also for protection.

Jason parked his pickup truck on the side of the road and waved to the gold-digging team from a distance, indicating that he was safe.

"Who are you?"

Team leader Onros glanced at the camera, then at Jason, and frowned, saying, "I don't like being filmed here."

Onlos mistook Jason and his group for people filming a TV show.

After communicating with Cass and the others, the camera was placed in the car, and it was obvious that Onlos relaxed a lot.

Jason smiled and introduced himself, "Hello, I'm Jason, a gold prospector from the Bering Sea. I've come to Australia to investigate the gold panning opportunities here."

"As for them, they were the film crew for 'The Bering Sea Gold Rush'."

Onros looked Jason up and down, then asked in surprise, "You're so young, and you're already panning for gold?"

Jason explained with a laugh, "It's a family business, the whole family started out in the gold rush."

Onlos understood; that made sense. However, since it was their first meeting, Onlos remained cautious and refused Jason's request to visit the mine.

Jason had anticipated this outcome before he arrived, so he wasn't particularly disappointed; he simply said goodbye politely.

Head straight to the next mine; as long as there are enough, there will always be someone willing to accept them.

Jason was turned away from three or four mines in a row, and everything was recorded by Cass and his team with cameras.

As noon approached, Jason had a quick lunch in the car and then arrived at another mine.

This mine is different from other mines. While other mines are bustling with gold mining, this one is quiet and the equipment is not running. There is only one excavator digging, and the ore washing machine is not working.

Old Rido, who was working, saw Jason and the others suddenly appear beside his mine. He stopped his excavator, picked up "Truth," and angrily walked towards Jason, cigar in mouth.

He had never seen such an arrogant thief before, especially in broad daylight while he was still right here!

They couldn't find gold to begin with, and now there were clueless thieves. All the anger they had been suppressing suddenly erupted.

"Calm down, calm down, I meant no harm," Jason quickly spread his arms to indicate that he meant no harm.

Jason was already starting to regret coming to this mine, seeing the angry old man with such a fiery temper.

Looking at Jason, who was carrying a camera on his shoulder and had his arms outstretched, Old Lido held the "Truth" gun in both hands, pointing it diagonally at the ground, and asked coldly, "What are you doing?"

Jason explained his purpose for coming and introduced himself and Cass and the others.

"Come in," Old Lido said, closing the lock and turning to leave, leaving Jason feeling somewhat uneasy.

Other mines refused with smiles, but this mine agreed with guns drawn.

The contrast before and after is quite significant.

After confirming with Old Li again, fearing he might be being used as bait, Old Li impatiently said, "Kid, come in if you want, get lost if you don't."
