NovelStartThe group of delinquents behind him were all armed with metal rods and seemed to be ready for a
fight.
Although the protesters were all a little afraid of them, they were unwilling to back down.
“We aren’t the ones causing delays for the project. It just so happens to be you who has gone too far!”
“That’s right! How could you only offer ten thousand dollars as compensation when it should’ve been
thirty thousand dollars per square foot. We won’t even be able to afford another house if you demolish
our house! Where do you expect us to live then?”
“We never asked for a huge payout, but you should at least compensate us fairly, right? I don’t think
our terms are unreasonable! Well, if you refuse to agree to our terms, you can forget about starting any
work here at all!”
A few people were bold enough to get the crowd riled up.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis annoyed the man as he grabbed the megaphone from the protestors and said, “You bunch of
b*stards. Why don’t you take a good look at how horrible of a state your houses are! Giving you ten
thousand dollars per square feet is generous enough. If any of you are still stubborn enough to bargain,
I will make sure that the compensation is for their medical bills instead!”
The man waved the metal pipe around which terrified most of the protestors.
Suddenly, Nathaniel furiously stormed out from the crowd as he said, “Your boss is not a man of his
word! So, why should he set the price to however much he likes! The compensation was clearly written
in the contract and the amount you offer clearly goes against what was written in the contract. As
owners of our houses, we have every right to be compensated. What right do you have to lash out on
us? Is there no longer a rule of law here?”
Some people came forward to back Nathaniel up after hearing what he said.
“That’s right! We have every right to demand compensation! You should honor the contract, or else we
will refuse to move! We will stay here until the day we die!”
“Exactly! If the payout isn’t what was promised in the contract, you can forget about touching even a
single brick in my house!”
This infuriated the man as he glared at Nathaniel and said, “Hey old coot, do you know there are
consequences to your own actions?”
He threw the megaphone away and kicked Nathaniel in his stomach with a loud thud. This caused
Nathaniel to reel on the ground in pain.
“You… I was trying to reason with you earlier. What right do you have to attack me?” Nathaniel
questioned furiously.
Nathaniel had always been a man of principle and assumed that the man was only there to scare them.
However, he never expected the man to attack him.
The other protestors were shocked and terrified after witnessing Nathaniel getting attacked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe man laughed after hearing what Nathaniel said before kicking him again as he said, “What right do
I have? Well, I just really don’t like you! Tell me, are you still going to be so stubborn now? Do you dare
demand thirty thousand dollars again?” The man was questioning Nathaniel while stepping on his
waist.
“You are horrible businessmen. How could you scam poor people’s money? Do you expect us to just
roll over and accept everything you say? This makes no sense at all!”
It seemed that Nathaniel had always been a very stubborn man. It would be extremely difficult to
change his mind after he made his mind about something. However, he was a great person.
Since he was living in the mansion Skylar had bought, he initially did not want to intervene. However,
after realizing that most of the protestors were elderly people and their houses were the only things
they had left, those people would have a very difficult life if their houses were demolished and were not
daily compensated. This was exactly why he wanted to protest.
However, as soon as he said that, the man struck his head with the metal pipe with a loud thud.
