NovelEnglishSince Kareem Fashion was the Sues’ family business, Skylar had no intention of getting too involved.
Nevertheless, Skylar was not going to sit back and watch as people resorted to malicious tactics to ruin
Yulia’s mood.
Naomi shook her head. “It’s a bunch of hooligans who often mingle the streets. No clue about the real
person behind it.
“The person in charge of the factory said that these people were here for the long run. They seemed
determined to stop the construction. It’s not an option to carry out the work at night either.”
“Oh?”
Intrigued, Skylar said, “I’m curious as to who is up to the funny business.”
Kareem Fashion’s factory was set up by the highway near the northern outskirts of Cloudtopia.
The land there was cheap and accessible, making it rather cost-effective in comparison with the land in
the city.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMeanwhile, crowds gathered under a tree near the highway. Some were there to gamble and brag
while others were munching on watermelons.
It was a lively scene.
“Is that all Kareem Fashion can do? They don’t even have connections with the police. They couldn’t
get a few police officers to stick around. What a joke!”
One of them smugly exclaimed.
“It’s just a clothing factory. They only make enough to cover their cost. What can you expect of them?”
“That’s right. Only the useless would count on the police to settle their problems!”
“We can play the long game with the police. I bet these police officers wouldn’t give these idiots the
time of day for crying wolf another few times.”
“Well, they should blame their boss for crossing the person who hired us. The way I see it, they won’t
just lose the new factory. Even the factory they have now has to be sold to cover the losses.”
The crowd broke out in laughter and put on looks of disdain.
Just then, a black Land Rover turned the corner from the eastbound highway.
“My. Someone’s here. It’s a Land Rover. I guess someone from Kareem Fashion’s headquarters is
here.”
Someone excitedly screamed.
Another combed his mohawk and remarked, “Duncan, make the car stop. Tell the person inside to
squeal to their boss that anyone – men or women – who comes here won’t be going home in one
piece.
“And another thing. They can forget about building a factory for the anti-blemish cream. So long as
we’re around, we’ll tear down anything they build. I don’t care if they secretly lay out the foundation in
the middle of the night.”
The guy with the mohawk was the leader of the gang.
“Got it,” Duncan answered before calling for three other men to advance with him to the middle of the
road. Standing in the way of the incoming Land Rover, he cockily shouted, “Stop! Stop the car!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe four of them spread their arms and formed a line, blocking the road completely.
They were certain the person in the Land Rover would step on the brakes.
The group under the tree near the highway watched the approaching car with anticipation.
They were bored of gambling and eating watermelons. Now that someone finally came, they could
wave their dominance around with their power in numbers.
While the group was brushing their palms together in eagerness, the four people in the middle of the
road freaked out.
The incoming Land Rover showed no signs of stopping. Its engine roared the moment they formed a
human barrier.
The vehicle came at them like a lion, ready to pounce.
“Stop! I told you to…”
Right smack in the middle, the thug named Duncan screamed and jumped onto the side of the road.
Before he could finish his sentence, he was knocked over with a bang.
Wham!
The tree by the road shook violently.
Duncan first slammed onto the sturdy tree trunk before crashing and tumbling onto the scalding
tarmac…
