Chapter 823: Chapter 823: Borrow Sothing Chapter 823: Chapter 823: Borrow Sothing “Santiago Carmichael, seeing as we are neighbors, I’m giving you three days to consider,” said a young man in a gray suit as he walked over and stepped on the chair beside Santiago.
“But you, it seems, don’t cherish that!”
“Cedric Abernathy!
You were a kid from this very place.
Now that you’re with Huxley Reed, have you forgotten who you are?”
Santiago stood up, glaring at Cedric: “Every neighbor around here watched you grow up.
Now that you’ve co into your own, is this how you repay your hotown?”
Cedric grew up in the slums, orphaned after his parents died.
But the locals took good care of him, not only providing for his living but also pooling money to send him to school.
Yet Cedric, at a young age, got involved in bad company instead of his studies, hanging out with gangs all day, eventually getting expelled from high school.
But life is unpredictable.
After dropping out, Cedric started to manage under his forr boss and, with his shrewd and capable nature, he gained appreciation.
In a few years, he beca quite well-known.
Later, he t Ivan Reed’s sworn brother, Huxley Reed.
Even though Huxley flaunted Ivan’s na everywhere, deceiving others, there were always so risk-takers.
It was then that Cedric began making trouble with his team.
Three months ago.
Huxley set his sights on this slum quarter, planning to transform it into a comrcial office building.
However, when it ca to the compensation for demolition, they bullied as much as they could.
In the end, the offers were almost insulting.
Young people no longer lived in such places; it was only left to the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled.
All together, there were about thirty-sothing of these resistant households.
ɴονǥᴑ.сο
And these thirty-sothing nail households were giving Huxley a huge headache.
Santiago had been a firefighter in his youth and was naturally tenacious.
The neighbors all listened to his advice.
Seeing that negotiations were getting nowhere, Huxley secretly sent word to Santiago, offering him two million!
He asked him to persuade the neighbors to leave quickly.
But Santiago resisted the temptation and straightforwardly told Huxley that if he wanted the people to leave, he must arrange at least two apartnts for each— one to live in and another to rent out.
Otherwise, how would these incapable elderly people survive in the future?
And considering the land prices in the capital, this was already a very moderate demand.
But what kind of man was Huxley Reed?
A ruthless businessman!
He didn’t care about these people’s lives at all!
Seeing that he had already finalized a deal with another partner, who had paid in full.
With people still not leaving, Huxley beca anxious!
Fortunately, Cedric volunteered his services, promising to clear out the people within three days.
Huxley, needing soone to do this dirty and exhausting job, imdiately agreed.
Today was the third day.
If Cedric couldn’t get Santiago and the others to leave, he would have no way to explain himself to Huxley.
“Old man!
I’m giving you so respect by calling you Mr.
Santiago Carmichael!
Without respect, you’re nothing more than a damn nobody!” Cedric’s heart surged with anger!
If he ssed this up today, he would be in no position to explain himself to Huxley.
Whether he could be relied on in the future was another question.
Huxley Reed is Ivan Reed’s sworn brother, after all!
Such a big boss is not easy to find.
If he could climb on board with him, his future would be bright.
“Ungrateful scum!”
Santiago pointed at Cedric, trembling with anger: “Be careful of retribution!
You beast without a conscience!”
“Retribution?”
Cedric replied indifferently, “If I were really to suffer retribution, I wouldn’t be alive now.”
He took his foot off the chair and lightly weighed the stick in his hand: “Speak up, are you leaving or not?
If you’re not leaving, my brothers and I will have to force you out!”
No sooner had he finished speaking than the n behind him imdiately surrounded him.
Facing an old man, these robust n felt no sha, their faces even bore a mocking expression.
“Impossible!
You heartless bosses, your consciences are eaten by dogs!
Hundreds of thousands, where do you expect us to live?
We don’t want money; at least arrange an apartnt for us, that’s the minimum!”
Santiago shook with anger.
“Dream on!”
Cedric’s expression darkened, pointing to the old woman sleeping on the bed: “I heard your dear old lady nearly kicked the bucket a few days ago?”
When his gaze rested on Santiago’s spouse, he sneered.
“What are you going to do!”
Santiago stood up suddenly, picking up the chair and ready to fight.
“Old man, are you seeking death!”
A strong man imdiately grabbed the chair and harshly pushed Santiago back.
“Bro, lend the stick for a sec.”
Just then, Julius Reed approached the burly man.
“You are…?”
Cedric Abernathy had just walked in and seen Julius Reed, but he hadn’t figured out who he was and hadn’t asked.
Now that the other party had initiated the conversation, it was a good ti to chat.
If he really was soone influential and connected to Santiago Carmichael, Cedric could only seek Huxley Reed’s help.
If he was just an ordinary person, they would fight together.
“Lend the stick.”
Julius Reed reached out a hand.
“Here you go.”
Although the muscular man didn’t understand what was happening, he still handed over the stick.
With a dozen n of his own, even if the opponent wanted to start sothing, wouldn’t he think twice?
“Thanks.”
Julius Reed took the stick and stepped in front of Cedric Abernathy, “Lend sothing.”
“What?
I don’t lend money!”
Cedric Abernathy was completely confused.
What on earth was this young man up to?
“Lend your legs.”
Snap!
In a flash, Julius Reed swung the stick down!
He shattered both of Cedric Abernathy’s kneecaps!
“Ahh…”
Cedric Abernathy collapsed to the ground, his face ashen.
“Kill him for …”
The excruciating pain hit instantly, and Cedric Abernathy curled up on the floor, clenching his teeth.
“You dare touch our Aaron Martin!”
The muscular n snapped back to reality, just about to make a move.
Whoosh!
Julius Reed kicked the leader flying with one foot, and his stick ca crashing down in mid-air!
Snap!
The stick broke in two.
And that muscular man lay there with his eyes tightly shut, dead or alive unknown.
“Quick!
Go tell Dragon Boss!”
Julius Reed’s thunderous actions petrified the crowd, rendering them too afraid to move recklessly.
“Take Aaron Martin!
Withdraw!”
A wise man knows better than to face danger head-on; they bent over trying to help Cedric Abernathy up, but then a gust of wind whistled past!
Whoosh!
The guy trying to help was kicked away and instantly knocked out on the ground.
The others exchanged glances and fled disheartened.
They utterly ignored the injured Cedric Abernathy.
“Take with you!
You bunch of losers!”
Cedric Abernathy cried out in agony.
But no one paid him any heed.
Those people had already run off to who knows where.
“Young man, you’ve beaten Cedric Abernathy, they’ll surely call for reinforcents!
You better leave quickly!”
Santiago Carmichael said anxiously.
“It’s okay, let’s continue our talk.”
Julius Reed dragged over a chair, placing it right on Cedric Abernathy’s wrist.
“Old man, co sit here.”
“This…”
Santiago Carmichael was really worried.
Cedric Abernathy was not just any young man.
He was quite influential around the shanty area.
Now to be beaten like this…
“Old man, you dare!”
Cedric Abernathy shouted in anger, but with his legs broken, his face was distorted with rage.
“In my life, Santiago Carmichael, besides doing bad things, I dare to do anything!”
Snap!
Old Mr.
Carmichael walked over and heavily sat down on the chair.
Following that, Cedric Abernathy howled in pain.
