Love At The Wrong Table

Soon, Emmanuel and Sheldon arrived at the project

site.

The project site was originally an abandoned factory.

Terence Group bought the land and wanted to build a

large–scale, strategic warehouse. The company then

commissioned Cloud Construction to build the

warehouse.

Halfway through the construction, the land had been

taken over by a group of thugs as their activity site.

They did so because the previous factory owner owed

them their salaries.

“What the f*ck? Are you guys a bunch of dimwits? Are

you guys here to chase us away again?”

“The previous owner hasn’t paid us, so we’re not

leaving!”

“Besides, Mr. Webber isn’t negotiating with you guys. No

matter how many times you try, you will achieve

nothing!”

“Are you not afraid of death? I dare you guys to get the

police involved!”

Upon seeing Emmanuel and Sheldon, the thugs in the

factory started swearing at them fearlessly.

If Cloud Construction could deal with the thugs, they

would’ve left the factory long ago.

At that moment, Sheldon cast a helpless glance at

Emmanuel, and he was already thinking about fleeing.

However, Emmanuel wanted to bring Mackenzie to

meet his mother, so he wasn’t giving up so easily.

“Get your boss to meet me now! Otherwise, I won’t

show any of you mercy!” Emmanuel threatened the

thugs with a determined look in his eyes. I know how to

deal with these thugs. If I were to go soft on them, they

would just keep pushing me around. The only way to

deal with them is to do it the hard way!

True enough, the thugs immediately stopped

swearing, and some were even so flabbergasted that

they dropped their cigarettes onto the ground. Wow!

This man is a bad*ss!

The thugs had been there for a long time and had

never seen someone as bold as Emmanuel.

There are only two of us here. How dare he talk like

that? Sheldon was shivering in fear. Is Emmanuel a

fool? Is he going to fight these thugs for money?

Right then, Milani, in an MPV owned by Cloud

Construction, arrived at the entrance of the factory.

She had gone there specifically to watch Emmanuel

die because she couldn’t swallow her anger.

In her pair of stylish sunglasses, she was smiling and

waiting for the show to begin.

Emmanuel couldn’t care less about why she was there.

Nevertheless, he was glad she showed up. “Milani!

Bring the legal documents here! Show these guys the

documents so that they’ll scram!”

What the f*ck? Milani was stunned when she heard

Emmanuel’s words. Is he stupid? Does he think the

thugs care about the laws? If they did, this matter

would’ve been settled long ago!

“What are you waiting for, Ms. Zimmerman? You’re here

to bring us the legal documents, right?” Sheldon was a

dense man, and he had no idea what was on Milani’s

mind. Hence, he walked up to her instantly.

Right then, all the thugs in the factory were staring at

Milani and smiling lecherously.

Seeing that, Milani started to tremble in fear. If the

thugs choose to take matters into their own hands, I’ll

surely get dragged into this mess. What if they come

after me because of my good looks? I won’t be able to

escape their clutches!

With that in mind, Milani answered, “What are you

talking about, Sheldon? What documents? I don’t know

what nonsense you are talking about!”

Milani was eager to distance herself from Emmanuel

and Sheldon, and she even wanted to run away there

and then. I came to watch Emmanuel get into trouble,

but I’m about to end up in hot water myself!

Before she could drive away, Emmanuel reached his

hand into the car and took out the legal documents in

the car!

After that, he flashed a half–smile and uttered, “Ms.

Zimmerman, are you already forgetting things? Aren’t

these the legal documents?”

Milani’s face went pale, and a grim expression soon

Unapler Ya Merles

appeared on her face.

In a fit of rage, she gritted her teeth and thundered,

“Are you crazy, Emmanuel? You might want to die, but I

don’t! What makes you think you can get rid of these

thugs? If you can do it, I’ll give you a kiss in return!”

To her surprise, Emmanuel answered nonchalantly, “I’m

sorry, but I’m really not interested in you.”

Milani was so enraged that her mind had gone blank.

Instead of saying anything, she could only glare at

Emmanuel.

The latter ignored her, grabbed the legal documents,

and walked toward the entrance.

The moment he turned around, he saw a dozen burly

men walking out of the building. All of a sudden, the

burly men had the three of them surrounded.

“Emmanuel, we should leave now.” Sheldon was

chickening out when he saw that. I want to get my job

done, but I’m not risking my life for it!

Meanwhile, Milani quickly returned to the car and rolled

down the window to make fun of Emmanuel. “Loser,

you’ve lost your mind, haven’t you? Are you risking your

life to make money because you’ve failed to find

yourself a wife?”

Emmanuel didn’t bother to respond to that. I can’t find

a wife? I’m fighting for my future wife now!

Without the slightest fear, Emmanuel opened the

documents and showed them to the thugs. “This is the

Chapter 14 Merciless

real estate document of Terence Group and the

construction permit of Cloud Construction. This land

has long been owned by Terence Group and has

nothing to do with your previous boss. Please leave

immediately!”

Upon hearing Emmanuel’s serious tone, the thugs froze

momentarily before bursting into laughter.

“Haha! This fellow is a simpleton! Why is he telling us

that?”

“Cut the crap! Let’s finish him!”

The group of thugs clenched their fists and got ready

to fight.

Sheldon was so frightened that his knees had gone

weak. I’m just an office worker. I have never even been

in a fight!

On the other hand, Milani locked her car doors from

the inside, and she was ready to drive off at any time.

The principle of betraying a friend rather than sacrificing oneself described the situation perfectly at

that moment. All she wanted was to stay alive.

Emmanuel wasn’t afraid, though. He was in the army for seven years. He was used to risking his life on the

Chapter 14 Merciless

battlefield on a daily basis, so he wasn’t backing down

from a group of thugs and a fight. This is nothing but a

joke!

“Die, punk!” A man with an afro swung a chain at

Emmanuel.

That man was one of Samuel’s capable fighters, and

he was involved in fights all the time. If he were to beat

up a guy that came to chase them out of the factory,

Samuel would be more than appreciative.

In fact, the man with an afro had beaten up quite a

few people before, and some were so badly injured

that they had to receive emergency treatment at the

hospital.

That was how they scared the people from Cloud

Construction off. None of the people involved in the

project dared to call the police on the thugs.

Gradually, they gained control of the piece of land.

When everyone was waiting to see the chain hit

Emmanuel and him bleeding all over the face,

Emmanuel swiftly dodged it and threw a punch.

Bang!

The man with an afro was sent flying away. Not only

did blood splatter everywhere, but the man with an

afro also ended up knocking six other thugs down.

Oh, sh*t! The smiles on the thugs‘ faces froze.

Milani was stumped when she saw Emmanuel fight.

This man can fight!

Before the man with an afro could stand up,

Emmanuel walked over to him with an icy expression

and stomped on the man’s leg.

Crack!

“Ah!” The man’s body was flung into the air before

crashing back onto the ground. All of a sudden, the

man’s face turned purplish, and he was rolling on the

ground as he screamed in pain.

Having witnessed that, everyone at the scene broke into a cold sweat. That’s so ruthless! He broke the

man’s leg without batting an eyelid! How is he so

cold–blooded? Who is he?
