Triumph Above All Novel

Chapter 435

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.This 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!

However, he never expected the man to attack him.The other protestors were shocked and terrified after witnessing Nathaniel getting attacked.The 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.
