Even as the helicopter's rotor whirled overhead, Kat Yego was shouting from the other end of Frank's headset, "When are you arriving, Master Lawrence?!" "Giveanother half an hour," Frank replied calmly.

Kat then yelled, "Urgh, whatever! I can't wait-I have to do this right now, or my house will be gone!" With that, she hung up.
Frank was left doing a double take and scowled as he pocketed his phone.
He had received a call from Kat earlier, who traveled to Morhen with Noel York for filming on location.
Kat spared stto return to the cottage while she did, yearning for nostalgia of her delinquent days.
However, she barely had any tto enjoy herself when she heard the rumble of an excavator and hurried out to see a huge gang of thugs tearing down the houses with their heavy machinery.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThey were led by a middle-aged man wearing a suit, who was sternly snapping at Kat's neighbors for them to leave, saying that they would be building new houses here.
Naturally, many of Kat's neighbors were incensed-they had lived there for years, and they had nowhere else to go! However, there was no reasoning with the thugs, who had clearly embezzled the residents' าวเ resettlement payments too. Even the senior citizens were given just around four grand to have their houses demolished. Content belongs to en.swWhat was that if not daylight robbery?! "Calm down already," the middle-aged man in question said.
He had a split mustache and wore shades, while his hair was slick with hair gel.
Even as he looked at the residents glaring at him, he chuckled coolly. "Demolishing this neighborhood is the will of the Lionhearts. If any of you have any protests, you can take it up with them right now, though I certainly don't-I'm just a contractor paid to do a job." Content belongs to en.sw"The Lionhearts?!" "What?!

Even as they traded glances, they were suddenly a lot less vocal.
"B-But this is out of line!" "Exactly, telling us to leave our houses for just a couple grand?! What do we even do with that money?" "We'd be just giving away our homes for free!" The greasy-haired middle-aged man pretended as if he was really listening patiently, even nodding thoughtfully when the residents were finished.
"It seems like everyone's complaining that you're not paid enough to leave... So how about this?" He paused and smirked viciously. "I've made up my mind. You mooks won't be paid at all! Since you're protesting so much, we just have to make you leave by force!" Content belongs to en.swThe residents were left dumbstruck.
This was Morhen, but this middle-aged man they had never even heard of was doing this right under the mayor's nose?! mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliI0fifl0&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1
