Destiny Mission of game ‘Star Ring’
Chapter 372 - 372 372 In a Dilemma

372: Chapter 372: In a Dilemma 372: Chapter 372: In a Dilemma Mr.

Su Mo was looking at a buying post, thinking it absurd how high the prices had soared.

If the forum kept this up, the prices on the trading platform would inevitably skyrocket eventually.

However, after careful consideration, he still sensed something was off.

Indeed, with Star Ring now entering the Earth Cup and engaging in a life-and-death chase, a large number of players were dying or sailing away, causing the production of gold points and silver points to hit an all-time low.

But it was important to know that the uses for gold and silver points hadn’t been unveiled yet; there was no need for them, so the major guilds certainly had some inventory left.

There was no reason for the prices to fluctuate so terrifyingly.

This was no longer mere speculation; it was a reckless acquisition at all costs.

With so much money flowing into the purchase of gold and silver points, something definitely felt wrong.

Thinking about it, Mr.

Su Mo felt even more certain that his earlier decision to harvest and operate was correct.

….

————————————-

In the old city center of Demon City,

the neighbors, armed with sticks, crowded together, confronting a group of white-collar workers in blue uniforms and safety helmets.

“If you dare come any closer, we’ll fight you!”

At this, the leading manager in a suit and blue tie stepped forward and roared furiously.

“You stubborn old fools, you are blatantly obstructing construction!”

“Talk about construction, this is our home.

Why don’t you go do your construction at your own homes?

If you dare to take one more step today, we’ll fight you.”

Uncle Zhao cursed angrily.

“Right, let’s fight them!”

The surrounding neighbors shouted excitedly.

…..

“There’s a revolt, a revolt!”

The leading manager was also infuriated.

“Manager Zhou, what do we do now?

They have too many people.

If this turns into a conflict, we might not stand a chance.”

The head of security was also trembling with fear due to the large number of residents.

“We must proceed, regardless, this area is determined for demolition!”

Manager Zhou gritted his teeth and spoke.

“Since you say so, then we brothers are prepared to risk everything.”

The head of security’s expression shifted, ready to go all in.

Just as both sides were ready for a massive conflict, a loud shout came.

“Stop!”

The scene, which had reached a critical point of tension, suddenly quieted down.

Uncle Zhao and the others turned their heads to see Mr.

Su Mo walking over with a very upset expression on his face.

Seeing Mr.

Su Mo, all the neighbors shouted excitedly, “The landlord is back…”

“Mr.

Su Mo!”

…..

Suddenly, everyone gathered around him.

Seeing this, Manager Zhou was also taken aback.

Damn, the owner of the urban village has returned, making this even better.

“Uncle Zhao, what’s the matter?”

Mr.

Su Mo asked, suppressing the anger in his heart.

“Mr.

Su Mo, you’re finally back.

These people just showed up out of nowhere, wanting to demolish our entire old city to build some interstellar airport, with a very aggressive attitude, hell-bent on forced demolitions.

Look, they’ve even damaged the walls of those buildings to the west and injured several of our people who were arguing.”

Uncle Zhao accused angrily.

“Is everyone who got hurt okay?”

“They’re alright, we’ve had them taken to the hospital.”

Uncle Zhao nodded in response.

At that moment, Manager Zhou, with a smile plastered on his face, squeezed his way through and respectfully handed a business card to Mr.

Su Mo.

“Hello, I am Zhou Huai of Rekeshield Company, and you must be the owner of this urban village.”

“I am, what about it?”

Mr.

Su Mo did not accept the other party’s business card, responding with a very cold voice.

“That’s great, please have this mob cleared away quickly.

This area is being expropriated for demolition to build an interstellar airport, and you’re about to get rich!”

Zhou Huai said with a beaming smile.

“Who allowed you to demolish it, did I agree?”

“Sir, you must be joking, the compensation is quite substantial.

Who would have a problem with money?

Moreover, this is a legitimate big official project, we cannot delay.”

“I’m seriously warning you!

I have never signed any demolition agreement, you are forcibly demolishing illegally and also injured my tenant.

Withdraw your people immediately, apologize, or brace yourselves for a lawsuit that you will lose all the way to Imperial City, I can put each of you behind bars!”

Mr.

Su Mo said with utmost firmness.

Upon hearing Mr.

Su Mo’s words, Zhou Huai’s face instantly turned dark, yet this time he really couldn’t lash out or stand his ground as before.

Because Mr.

Su Mo was right, since they couldn’t contact him, they hadn’t signed any agreement at all.

Forced demolition was indeed illegal, and moreover, this guy was not the poor average Joe they were used to dealing with.

Owning such a large area meant he was likely an invisible wealthy man, who could likely make each lawsuit stick, possibly landing them in prison.

Zhou Huai wiped the sweat from his forehead and squeezed out an awkward smile, saying,

“Just wait a moment, please.”

Zhou Huai then picked up the phone, quickly dialed a number, and walked to the side to murmuring a few words to the person on the other end.

Before long, a fleet of official buses arrived.

The buses stopped nearby, and one by one, men in professional uniforms got off, led by a shrewd-looking fat man.

Mr.

Su Mo, noticing the logos on their uniforms, furrowed his brow slightly, “Isn’t that the Construction Bureau?”

The fat man walked up, all smiles, and said to Mr.

Su Mo,

“You must be the owner here, Mr.

Su Mo.

Hello!

I’m Lei Jiang, the Director of the Construction Bureau.

Regarding this matter, I ask for your understanding, after all, it is for public benefit.”

“How much are they offering you?”

Mr.

Su Mo suddenly blurted out.

“Ah?”

Lei Jiang was also taken aback.

“I’ll give you twice that!”

Mr.

Su Mo said directly.

“No, Mr.

Su Mo, you have misunderstood,”

Lei Jiang was somewhat flustered.

“Three times!”

“Not that…”

“Five times!”

After hearing that, Lei Jiang’s expression became extremely animated, his forehead sweating profusely.

“Mr.

Su Mo, please let me explain.”

“Ten times!”

Mr.

Su Mo directly made a sky-high promise.

Lei Jiang almost wanted to cry, hastily explaining, “Mr.

Su Mo, you really have misunderstood, how could I dare to take any benefit?

I’m truly handling this as public duty.

This place really needs to become an interstellar airport, and previously when we couldn’t find you, the project deadline came up too soon.

We had to act out of urgency, it really was for our own good.

You know as well that in Demon City, where space is incredibly valuable, there’s nowhere else suitable to build an interstellar airport.”

Hearing Lei Jiang’s words, Mr.

Su Mo’s expression grew even more serious, realizing the trouble was bigger now.

Seeing his determination, it didn’t seem like a private corporation looking to profit, it truly might be about building an interstellar airport.

“Fine!

Since it’s a top-level plan, I’m not uncooperative.

There are over a million tenants living here under my lease, how do you plan to resettle them?”

“This, this, how to resettle, Demon City has no space.”

Lei Jiang also appeared extremely troubled.

Manager Zhou Huai, seeing this, hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and said,

“These aren’t their houses, as long as your compensation is sufficient, it should be fine.

And if resettlement is needed, it’s simple, just move everyone to another city.”

“Why don’t you move to another city, would you like to live outside the city?”

Mr.

Su Mo immediately retorted, silencing him; who’d want to leave here?

Although life here was stressful, the facilities were good, including education, employment, and medical care, incomparable to those in other cities.

Manager Zhou Huai immediately clammed up, having no desire to concede.
