Guardian-In-Law by Five Generals novel Chapter 73

Chapter 73 Blackmail 

After giving her order calmly, Darcy closed her eyes and leaned bac on the chair. She rubbed her swelling temples. 

Having no idea what the protestors wanted yet, she was anxious. 

Kaze frowned while driving. 

Soon, they arrived at the construction site of Passion Fragrance District. The main entrance was blocked and the car could not go in. 

Kaze was forced to stop the car. 

“I’ll go have a look.” 

Darcy got out of the car. 

Kaze shot a glance at the two Tiger Fangs soldiers, signaling them to temporarily stop following her. 

He then called Draco. 

“Bring the Tiger Fangs to Passion Fragrance District construction site,” he said as he stared at the protestors at the main entrance. 

“I am the COO of Quintessential Group, Darcy Quint. I am in charge of this site, let me go in and talk to my employees. I will come out with a satisfying answer,” Darcy shouted when she arrived before the protestors. 

The protestors immediately surrounded her when they heard her. 

“Let her in, she can’t run anyway.” 

Manny, who orchestrated the entire protest, was in the car further away and he gave the order through a walkie-talkie. 

The protestors made way for Darcy.

When they saw Darcy entering through the main gate, Andy and the other employees approached her. 

“Ms. Quint, the gangsters gathered the relocated households to cause trouble. They are trying to blackmail us. We must solve problem as soon as possible, or our properties won’t sell!” 

Darcy nodded with a grim look. 

She had a quick observation on her way in. Many gangsters tried to make things worse and only a few relocated households among the 

protestors. 

The protestors were also surrounded by a bunch of reporters, and they were already taking pictures and recording. 

Once the news got out, it would make headlines; once the rumors spread, the whole project would be doomed. 

“Who is the leader of the gangsters? What are their terms?” Darcy asked. 

Andy had contacted the leader and he said, “The leader is Manny Mare, Dan Niners’ man, who is a new mob boss in the city. They are requesting us to buy construction materials from them, the 

Construction and Material Society, or else they will continue causing trouble and force us to stop work.” 

Darcy was baffled. 

The Construction and Material Society? 

As far as she knew, the society was dissolved some time ago. 

How did it come back to life? 

However, it was not the right time to answer that question. 

“Then we’ll buy from them, even if it’s a little more expensive.”

Darcy knew tangling with the gangsters would only hurt them, so she 

a swift decision. 

Ma 

Be it the Construction and Material Society or Perfect World Grou the battle of a higher caliber was not something she could participate in. 

Even though she leaned toward Perfect World Group, who had helped them a lot, she had to prioritize the project and the construction site. 

Andy smiled bitterly, “But the quotation is three times higher than the market price. It’s exorbitant. Our funds are limited unless we get a loan from the bank.” 

“Three times? Are they robbing us?” 

Darcy bit her lips. “Tell him we will only offer 1.5 times the market price, nothing more!” 

Someone made a call and returned while shaking his head. The offer was rejected.
