The Legendary Man novel Chapter 158

Chapter 158 Your Funeral

“Ms. Smith, you’re here!”

Some in the group recognized Josephine.

Although she had only taken over the project for less than two days, the group of construction workers already knew who she was.

All the previous managers would only hide in their offices and never show their faces.

Josephine was the only one who would show up at the construction site the entire day.

Moreover, she would occasionally give them a hand in their work.

“Everyone, don’t panic. Put down your weapons first.” The first thing Josephine did was calm her men down. Despite their apprehension, they still obeyed her and put down the shovels and steel pipes in their hands.

“Have you called the police?” Josephine looked in their direction.

“We have!”

Her men nodded.

When she heard that they did, Josephine’s mind was put at ease. Then, she turned to the group of men clad in black. “Who are you? Why are you wrecking our construction site and assaulting my men?”

“Are you the one who’s in charge?” A brawny man, Hagar, walked out from among the men in black. His entire arm was also covered by black-colored tattoos.

It was obvious from the way he looked that he was there with bad intentions.

“Yes, I am!” Josephine showed no fear at all.

“That will make things easy.” Hagar gave Josephine a cold stare. “Do you know that your construction site has occupied our land?”

“Occupied your land?” Josephine couldn’t help but furrow her eyebrows.

The ecological park project, which she had just taken over the last few days, belonged to the Blackwood family previously. Given their strong-handed methods, it was plausible that the man’s claim was true. In that case, it was understandable for them to have caused a ruckus over the matter.

After all, the Blackwood family did seize the Smith family’s land without any compensation after the Smith family offended them.

“I’m sorry but I wasn’t aware of this. If what you say is true, I will compensate you accordingly after going back to my office to verify your claims.” Since she had taken over the ecological park project, it was naturally her responsibility to clean up the mess caused by the Blackwood family.

However, Hagar scoffed at her words, “Why do you still need to check? If you want to compensate us, do it now and stop pretending! Back then, the Blackwood family also gave us the same excuse. However, after half a year, we have yet to see a single penny. And now, are you trying to pull the same trick on me?”

“As of now, there’s no way I can compensate you.” Josephine refused to agree to Hagar’s demands. “How am I going to pay you anything without any information or verification that you’re telling me the truth?”

“Are you refusing to do so?” Hagar snapped in response to Josephine’s words. “In that case, you leave me with no choice. Men, destroy everything!”

Upon his instructions, those men in black raised their metal pipes and triangular bayonets before continuing their attacks.
