Chapter 26 The Tricks of Developers

"You don't understand?" the bald man repeated. "Our boss has his eye on your house and is willing to buy it for 500, 000. We've already taken care of the paperwork today!"

"Sorry, but we have no intention of selling our house." Harleen replied coldly.

"We're not here to negotiate with you today. We're here to inform you officially." The bald man chuckled.

"If you take care of the paperwork honestly today, you'll get 500, 000. If not, you might not get a penny after tonight! Oh by the way, in case you didn't know, everyone in this neighborhood except for your family has sold their houses already. They've all received their money and will be moving out in two weeks."

"This place is going to be demolished soon. You guys must be developers." Billy guessed as he remembered seeing some elderly people looking worried earlier. It was obvious that these were shady business tactics from developers.

"Do I need your opinion?" The bald man glanced at Billy and spoke sternly.

"You're asking for trouble!"

One of Billy's people approached the bald man and his buddies.

"Hold on!" Billy stopped him before turning back to Harleen and said, "Harleen, what's the market value for houses here?"

"Although it's not located downtown, this area is known for its good schools so even second-hand homes go for at least 31k per square meter." Harleen responded calmly.

She had naturally figured out their intentions and added after a pause, "In addition, all homes are over 80 square meters so even if it's just an estimate, they would cost at least over two million in total."

"Got it!" Billy nodded slightly before turning to the bald man. "You guys got a house worth two or three million, and you only paid fifty thousand for it?"

"You talk too much. If you keep blabbering, I'll make sure you won't be able to speak again." The bald man shouted angrily.

"What's your company called?" Billy asked calmly.

"Why? You gonna call the cops?" The bald man sneered. "Go ahead and tell them that Obodon Real Estate's people are here doing business. Let's see what they say."

"Obodon Real Estate? I note it down. Here's your chance, go back and tell your boss that he has until tomorrow to pay all the homeowners in this neighborhood according to market price. Otherwise, his company will shut down!" said Billy.

The bald man and his tattooed friends burst out laughing. Some even had tears in their eyes from laughing so hard.

"You're just here to mess around, aren't ya?" The bald man finally stopped laughing. "Do you think Obodon is just a small workshop?"

"Is your boss named Egbert Parham?" Harleen furrowed her brows.

"Well well well! Not bad at all! You know our boss' name too?" The bald man snorted coldly. "Then I'm sure you know what that name means in Ozin."

"Harleen, do you know their boss?" Billy looked at Harleen.

Harleen nodded slightly and said with a heavy tone of voice, "Obodon Real Estate is the biggest real estate company in Ozin City, their boss has strong connections on both sides of the law."

"I see." Billy smiled faintly before looking back at the bald man. "Did you remember what I said earlier?"

"I think you need a beating!" The bald guy's patience was probably exhausted. He raised his hand and waved it, "Come on, let him know how tough we are!"

A group of tattooed men raised their hands and rushed towards Billy.

Billy's subordinate rushed forward with a flash. In less than a minute, all of them were lying on the ground wailing, with a look of fear on their faces. They didn't even see the figure of the man who attacked them clearly before lying down, obviously it was not something they could contend with.

"Remember what I said, if your company doesn't take action by this time tomorrow, I will go directly to your company!" After Billy finished speaking, he looked at Harleen and said, "Harleen, let's go upstairs!"
