"Mr. Lopez, if it were a typical ore vein, digging diagonally would usually be fine. But for this kind of ore, which forms in cold, shadowy environments, where do you think such a place might be?"
Angus' eyes lit up in response. "Underground!"
"Exactly," Matthew confirmed with a nod. "Dig straight down about 60 feet, and you'll definitely hit ore."
Angus' face lit up with excitement, and he looked like he wanted to hug Matthew. "Matteo, if we really manage to extract ore, I'll give you half of it for free!"
"Thank you," Matthew replied. He accepted the gesture without hesitation. It wasn't an offer that made a big difference to him, but it was significant enough for Angus.
Without wasting another moment, Angus hurried outside to organize a team to dig at the abandoned site. He had always regretted leaving that mine unexploited. Despite deeming it a dead site, he hadn't sold it off, and now it seemed like that decision had paid off.
…
Near sunset, Angus returned, his clothes covered in dust but his face beaming with joy. He spotted Matthew and shouted excitedly, "Matteo! We found it—it's there!"
Matthew nodded as if he'd expected nothing less.
"Don't worry, Matteo," Angus continued, his tone brimming with gratitude. "Half of all the ore we excavate will be sent directly to Larch Island. I'll make sure there's no trouble."
Bram's original letter had mentioned that Matthew would need to arrange transport, but Angus no longer cared about such details. He saw Matthew as someone far above an ordinary buyer.
"Thank you, Mr. Lopez," Matthew replied.
