Theodore finished with a cold sneer, his face full of contempt.
He had investigated Flynn and found out that he was just an abandoned child from the Clark family who had spent ten years in prison for labor reform. He only bought this land to help the Kaur family after the Davies family’s bankruptcy.
Coincidentally, he hit it lucky with the development of Ponocord Bay.
This kind of powerless and lowly person, who wouldn’t bully him? Seeing Flynn’s dark expression, Theodore thought he was still resisting and his face turned sour as he spoke coldly, “Do you think I’m just trying to scare you? Good!”
With that, he took out his phone and dialed the director of Industrial and Commercial Bureau directly.
“Mr. Johnston, this is Theodore Brooks from the Land Resources Bureau. You’re shutting down Orco Real Estate in the city! Yes! Do it now!”
After hanging up the phone, Theodore turned back to Flynn with a cold sneer, “Do you think I’m joking with you? Actually I’m serious!”
“I don’t want you to live anymore; it’s just a matter of making one phone call.”
“Since I came here until now, your behavior has made me very unhappy; I hope you can change.”
Soon Scarlet’s phone rang.
An employee stationed at Orco Real Estate called, “Miss Wong, something bad happened! The Industrial and Commercial Bureau called us and told us to close down immediately because they are coming over soon to seal off Orco Real Estate!”
“Ah! They really shut down Orco Real Estate!” Scarlet was shocked and angry; her face turned pale as she thought Theodore was even more hateful than thugs!
“Do you see that? What did I say would happen?” Theodore spread his hands open enjoying the excitement brought by power.
Flynn didn’t even lift an eyebrow or look at him as he calmly said, “Let him seal it off; later on he’ll use his mouth to tear off those seals.”
“What is this guy talking about? Later let Mr. Brooks tear them off with his mouth? Does this guy think himself some bigwig’s illegitimate child or something daring enough to order around Mr. Brooks?”
“I’d like to see how long this guy can hold on! He won’t go petitioning, will he? Don’t worry; he won’t be able leave alive tonight!”
The personnel from the Land Resources Bureau viewed Flynn’s actions as a display of impotent rage, and at this moment, they mocked him for overestimating his abilities.
Officials of their rank bullying a commoner was no different from toying with ants-they had plenty of means to achieve their ends.
If he refused to cooperate, they had individuals like Frederick who could help handle such matters. They could stage a car accident, strangle someone and toss them into a cement mixer, pour the mixture onto a construction site, or directly bury them in a desolate area. There were countless methods.
After all, Ostrad had a large population, and that was why there were tens of thousands of missing persons each year. They vanished without a trace-where could they have gone?
Just thinking about these things sent shivers down one’s spine!
“You son of a bitch, you’d better agree right away, or I’ll skin you alive!”
Frederick, unable to contain his anger as Flynn continued to resist, exclaimed, “Once you’re dead, this land will belong to the Kaur family. As long as I demand it, those cowards will surely hand it over to me!”
Upon hearing this, the Orco Real Estate employees sighed collectively.
Throughout history, collusion between officials and criminals had been rampant, and ordinary people could only submit to it. Resistance would only bring more severe retaliation. Several billion indeed amounted to a considerable sum, but life was more important!
Flynn, however, failed to grasp this principle.
Scarlet gritted her teeth and said, “Mr. Brooks, your actions will have a severe impact on our company. We hope you can consider this carefully.”
“Impact?” Theodore dismissed it, sneering, “What does that have to do with me? I think you should be the ones considering carefully! If you don’t sell the land today, you won’t even get this 200 million!”
Seeing Scarlet fuming with her chest heaving up and down, Flynn raised an eyebrow and said casually, “Don’t bother with him; let him continue struggling. After all, he’ll kneel down and tear off the sealing tape with his mouth!”
“Let’s go back!” he added, grabbing Scarlet’s petite waist and turning to leave.
He couldn’t be bothered with wasting time on Theodore here. Going back, having a meal, and enjoying some tea-wouldn’t that be enjoyable for Governor Rocco to deal with?
“I don’t know if I’ll kneel or not, but if you don’t sell the land, you’re definitely going to kneel.”
Theodore smiled, looking at Flynn’s departing figure, and spoke unhurriedly, “Your short-lived mother, buried on Phoenix Hill, right? Be careful tonight. In case of an explosion or a bone-shattering incident, you’ll have no choice but to kneel and beg your mother for forgiveness for your unfilial actions.”
“Boom!”
A fierce murderous intent surged from Flynn’s body.
The air instantly filled with a chilling aura, and the temperature rapidly dropped to freezing point.
Flynn paused, his face quickly frosted over, and his eyes emitted icy glints. He turned around, his gaze filled with killing intent, and said, “You’d better take back what you just said!”
An overwhelming sense of killing intent swept over, causing everyone to shudder. The expressions of those who were about to burst into laughter froze, and fear flickered in their eyes.
How could this person exude such a terrifying and intense killing intent?
Theodore was also startled, and the abrupt surge of murderous intent from Flynn made his hair stand on end.
“Flynn, forget it. Let’s not confront him. We’ll wait for that influential figure to arrive!” Scarlet heard Theodore’s words, was also shocked, and quickly stood in front of him, nervously advising.
She knew that Adrianna was a sore spot for Flynn, and no one should insult her. After all, the incident of killing Caleb was still fresh in their memories.
Theodore provoking Flynn like this was simply courting death. This guy, when provoked, would definitely resort to violence!
As a bureau-level official, Theodore was on the same level as Travis. If Flynn killed such a high-ranking official, it was likely that the mayor couldn’t guarantee his safety!
Ignoring Scarlet, Flynn walked decisively towards Theodore.
The murderous intent was overwhelming, as if a divine thunderbolt was descending from the heavens.
Scarlet was frightened to the point of trembling.
This was the first time she had seen Flynn’s murderous intent so intense. The ice-cold gaze seemed to materialize, and in the eye contact, one could sense the profound aura of war and carnage, as if he had experienced a battlefield filled with corpses and blood.
