Chapter 403 Protest “I understand that. I really do. It’s just… I don’t want to die. I’m so young. Pleasespare my life, Lord Campbell! I promise I will never make the same mistake again,” begged Masonwhile shaking fearfully. At that point, urine had already drenched his pants. The man was so terrifiedthat he had peed himself. Donald’s gaze glowed with cruelty. He was emotionless when he glared atMason and stood up slowly. Mason’s eyes bulged instantly. One recurring thought ran through hismind. He’s going to kill me. He’s going to kill me! At that thought, his heart began thumpingextraordinarily fast.
Thump! Donald saw Mason’s eyes turning bloodshot at an incredible speed. Then, Mason fellbackward and landed on the floor. His entire body twitched for a bit before it fell motionless. “Did he justdie of fear?” asked Donald, who was momentarily stunned. Kingsley stepped forward and checkedMason’s breathing. “Yeah, he did.” Donald scoffed. “What a coward.” He ignored the dead body andasked, “How long before the men from the Winston family arrive at the construction site?” Kingsleyspoke to Bradley before answering, “They’ve already arrived.”novelbin
“Okay, got it. For now, send a small team and lure the entire Winston family there. After that, we willdestroy all of them in one go,” instructed Donald. The project at Lord Campbell Avenue was alreadyover sixty percent complete. Jennifer had invested heavily into the project to make sure everything wasdone as quickly as possible. She also offered a great salary, so everyone worked hard to complete theproject. Once the three-lane highway was completed, Jennifer was certain she could finish LordCampbell Avenue within three days.
Earlier, Kingsley had spoken to Jennifer about it as well. If she got everything done in advance, hewould pay all the outstanding fees to her right away. He would also pay her for the land reclamationproject in one go. All that inspired Jennifer to work harder, but trouble followed soon after. The secondmost powerful clan, the Winston family, had heard about how she would be building a three-lanehighway. Hence, they were now protesting at the construction site and demanding a hefty
compensation of ten million. Meanwhile, Albert was talking to Jennifer. “You are free to construct thethree-lane highway, Ms. Wilson. You just need to compensate us ten million for it.” Jennifer’s eyeswidened.
“That’s ridiculous! You’re obviously extorting me.” Kevin, Linda, and the others showed up at thatmoment. Linda planted her hands on her hips and roared, “Don’t cross the line, you punk! Mr. Lane hashis eyes on Jennifer, and if you mess with her, you mess with him. I’d watch my back if I were youbecause he will surely kill you for it!” Kevin and Skylar, on the other hand, drove up in their Ferrari.They pointed at the car and bragged, “See that? That’s the newest model. Are you sure you can affordto mess with someone who owns that?” Albert shifted his gaze to the car, but he wasn’t worried at all.Neil had always been reluctant to mess with the clans because it would affect the stability of the localeconomy. Hence, Albert didn’t need to care about pissing Joshua or Neil off. “So, you guys are thatrich, huh?
In that case, I will change my terms and demand for ten million and that car,” replied Albert calmly.Over a hundred men from the Winston family were stationed behind him, and every single one of themwas in a black suit. It was as though they were from the mafia. Some of those men even stood besidethe machinery and made it impossible for the construction workers to work. The worst was those wholay on the ground and acted as though they would not leave until they received the money. Jenniferwas so angry that her entire body trembled. “Why should I?” Albert replied, “I guess you don’t knowthis, Ms. Wilson, but this property used to belong to the Winston family. We used this piece of land togrow crops and sell them. Now that you have taken it away, we have no way of making ends meet.
That is why we demand compensation. How else will we feed all the mouths of our members? Youdon’t need to know the details, though. Just know this—you have to pay us today.” Albert grinnedfearlessly because he held all the power. “As for Mr. Lane… Well, I don’t think he’s actually interestedin you.” Jennifer growled, “Your family hasn’t grown any crops here in over a decade. Plus, Horizon
Group had already compensated you with three times the profit you would’ve made from this landbefore we even began construction.”
