While they were drinking, they suddenly heard the sound of a car’s engine coming from outside the house, followed by the sound of its doors opening and closing. After that, two middle–aged men in suits walked in with around a dozen construction NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

workers.

“Since when was this place occupied? I thought nobody has lived here for a long time,” said the middle–aged man who was leading the crew.

“Where did you three come from? Why are you all here?” the other middle–aged man asked in an icy tone.

Chuck and his trends turned over to look at them. Chuck got up and replied, “This is my house so what’s wrong; with me staying here? Who are you people? I should be the one asking what you’re doing here.”

The two middle–aged men exchanged looks while one of them took off his safety helmet and said, “Bullsh*1. This place is going to be demolished tomorrow so who are you to stay here? The bulldozer will be here tomorrow moming so I want you three gone by then.”

“They’re going to demolish this place?‘

Chuck was lost for words when he heard this, while Adrian stood up and said, “The owner of this place was in prison over the past two years. Even so, his house still remains, regardless of whether he was occupying it or not. So, who are you to tear it down without compensating him?

“Complete the procedure if you insist on tearing it down. Otherwise, nobily’s touching a single brick in this house. Not even Internal Affairs.”

“Ho.. “That’s rather bold statement, you little fl… Were you under the impression 1 was asking you nicely?”

The middle–aged man who said this was Dale Splaney from Swallowston’s Garms Construction. He was in charge of developing the area into school accumulations.

In truth, all of the nearby residents had already been compensated while Chuck’s house was sold to their company by Internal Affairs since it was considered uninhabited. So, why would Dale agree to compensate Chuck out of nowhere?

Adrian said, “Watch your tone. Also, you might want to rephrase your sentence before I make you!”
