"No, this is not what it looks like! We simply closed this tunnel to make a space for the ore to regenerate!" Kyle said nervously.
The person beside him snorted. "Close this tunnel? You mean you closed 20% of the entire mine?"
"Yes, this tunnel and everything behind it," Kyle said. "It's for long-term profits."
"Then, you are most likely happy with the development, Mr. Freeman," the man said.
"Eh, yes!" Kyle said. "It will pay off within three to five years! No worries! I plan on renewing the lease when the time is up!"
"Mr. Freeman," the man said, "I need to inspect the entire mine. Right now, I can't inspect 20% of the mine because the way is blocked with rocks. Is there a way you can give me access to these 20% today?"
"Today?" Kyle asked. "That's a bit difficult. That would ruin all the work I put in burying this part of the mine."
"So, you can't give me access to the remaining 20% today?" the man asked calmly.
