Orco Real Estate’s thousand-acre land was located on the west side of Ponocord Bay, just on the edge of the state planning area.
Its location was excellent as it did not affect the development of scenic areas and can take advantage of thousands of acres of wetlands for real estate development.
On the other hand, Frederick wanted to develop a cemetery on a hundred-acre plot on the western mountain slope, which was no longer within Ponocord Bay’s jurisdiction. The land was all rocks and mountains, making it very cheap. Frederick spent ten million to buy this plot.
If he successfully developed it into a cemetery, standing on Orco Real Estate’s thousand-acre land will give people an unobstructed view – wasn’t that disgusting? If Frederick succeeded in building the cemetery here, Orco Real Estate’s land will be worthless; no one would dare to buy villas here.
This plan was ruthless!
What was worse than developing a cemetery here were those large excavators passing through their thousand acres of soil leaving tire marks everywhere and destroying everything in their path.
Before Alan fled from this place, there were medicinal herbs growing here which was why some workers still remain stationed at this site.
“Boss, we were weeding out the medicinal plants when they passed by us with their machines and destroyed several acres.”
“We tried reasoning with them politely but they ignored us and even attacked us!”
“Mr. Simpson got hit in the head with an iron shovel while I got injured in my arm.”
A worker involved in herbal cultivation stepped forward, pointing at Frederick and tearfully recounting the incident. He then lifted his shirt to reveal severely bruised and swollen arms.
“This is outrageous! You’ve gone too far, why resort to violence?”
“Our herbs were trampled on, and there must be compensation!”
“If there’s no explanation today, we’ll report this to the authorities!”
Orco Real Estate’s employees were indignant, accusing Frederick vehemently.
“Compensation?” Frederick flicked his cigarette into the sky, sneering at the crowd. “Haven’t you heard? I’ve never compensated anyone for a beating!”
“A bunch of blind dogs barking randomly, truly amusing!”
His subordinates behind him were equally disdainful, showing complete indifference.
“Are you idiots? Don’t you know who the young master is? Frederick, the Deputy Chief of the Eight Extremities School, Mr. Powell!”
“I’ve been with Mr. Powell for so long, and this is the first time I’ve heard he has to compensate someone after a fight. Quite amusing!”
“Remember last year, that wealthy heir from Ipholn offended Mr. Powell in a bar, got slapped, knelt down, called him ‘dad,’ and even apologized. And now, compare that to a farmer dealing with medicinal herbs. His life is worth less than Mr. Powell’s dog!”
The employees of Orco Real Estate were shocked to hear this, looking dumbfoundedly at Flynn.
Evidently, they didn’t recognize the person sitting on the excavator, the Deputy Chief of the Eight Extremities School in Niarak, and they had no idea Flynn had a conflict with him.
The Eight Extremities School! With tens of thousands of disciples and a significant force in the top three of Niarak’s Eight Extremities School factions, the Powell family held a prominent position in Niarak.
Even Orion, because the Powell family was backed by the Eight Extremities School, dared not easily offend them.
Hearing that Flynn was merely the son-in-law of the Kaur family and acquired this land through luck, they wondered how he could afford to offend the Powell family.
“Flynn, I’m planning to build a cemetery here, and we’re considered neighbors now. Don’t you want to congratulate me?” Frederick jumped down from the excavator, one hand in his pocket, the other pointing to a nearby pit, smiling.
“No congratulations? How stingy! Look at that pit; I specially reserved it for you. You can be buried there for free after you die.”
“I might even free up a few spots for your entire family. Of course, others will have to pay half price; after all, this is a geomancy treasure!”
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
“Mr. Powell, this is a place for burying the dead, not for burying dogs. If you reserve a spot for him, the value of this place will drop!”
“Exactly! I think we can set aside a few acres for a pet cemetery. When Flynn dies one day, Mr. Powell can leave him a spot!”
“I find it inappropriate. This trash has offended so many people; he’s bound to die a miserable death. We can’t bury him here! He’s only fit for a quick burial wrapped in a straw mat.”
The subordinates of the Eight Extremities School were filled with filthy language, mocking relentlessly without any restraint.
Flynn’s expression darkened to the extreme, and he said coldly, “Frederick, do you plan to spend the rest of your life in bed?”
Scarlet was also furious, “Mr. Powell, haven’t you had enough trouble last time? I suggest you leave now!”
After hearing this, Frederick paused for a moment and then burst into laughter. “Did you all hear that? He’s threatening me! This dog is actually threatening me?”
“Have you ever thought, damn it, that I came prepared when I decided to deal with you today? Dare to touch me and try!”
After saying that, he clapped his hands, and immediately, ten subordinates with compound bows emerged from behind the excavator, aiming at Flynn with drawn arrows.
Scarlet looked horrified, and the employees took a few steps back, gasping for air. Inwardly, they cursed themselves for following such a boss. They hadn’t even started making money yet, and now they were collectively offending Frederick.
“Haha, just stay out of the way; today, I’m only targeting Flynn. I don’t want to bother with anyone else!” Frederick sneered triumphantly.
“Do you know why we’re using these things against you?”
“It’s because last time, shooting you with a compound bow didn’t kill you. This time, I must turn you into a hedgehog!”
Flynn sneered, “Spit it out. What’s the ultimate goal of causing trouble today?”
Knowing Frederick’s temperament, there was no need for him to gather such a force for revenge. He could do it anytime. Coming to make trouble here and now meant there was another conspiracy.
Frederick was also taken aback but grinned, “You piece of shit still has a brain. Fine, since you asked, I won’t give you any empty threats.”
“I fancy this piece of land. Transfer it to me, and I’ll spare your life. We can even be friends.”
“Of course, I’m not the kind of person who forcefully takes things. You spent 200 million to acquire it, right? I’ll sell it to you at the original price!”
The subordinates of the Eight Extremities School looked at Flynn mockingly, all leisurely crossing their arms against the excavator.
“Mr. Powell is giving you a chance. Don’t be ungrateful. If he doesn’t want to spend a penny, there’s nothing you can do! If you don’t agree, those eighteen compound bows will immediately shoot your legs!”
“A cheap person like you can’t resist wealth. If you agree, you can settle the grudge with Mr. Powell, save your pathetic life, and even become friends with Mr. Powell. Otherwise, Mr. Powell has a hundred ways to kill you!”
Scarlet couldn’t help but feel angry at hearing this.
This piece of land was currently worth at least 3 billion. Frederick actually wanted to buy it at the original price. How was this any different from robbery? And he shamelessly advised Flynn to recognize his good fortune. It was simply disgraceful.
The employees of Orco Real Estate shook their heads when they heard this. They were delighted after the news of Ponocord Bay’s development was announced yesterday, thinking they could achieve something significant at Orco Real Estate. Unexpectedly, Frederick came to make an acquisition today.
Facing such a sinister force, Flynn might have to give up the land to save his life, resulting in losing his job.
However, Flynn just smiled.
So, Frederick made such a big fuss for this piece of land!
Thinking about it, this land was so valuable now, turning from worthless to golden. It made sense that he was willing to reconcile with Flynn for the sake of this land.
After all, who would have trouble with several billion?
But he picked the wrong person.
