“Let’s get straight to the point. How much will you sell your shabby house for?”

“How many times do I have to say it’s not for sale?”

A group of men in suits and ties stood at the entrance of an old-looking Chinese restaurant.

The leader of the group, who was wearing a suit, wiped his hands with a tissue in disgust before reluctantly sitting down.

“I know what you’re thinking. Aren’t you trying to raise the price as high as possible? However, I advise you not to be too greedy. Otherwise, you’ll end up like a snake swallowing an elephant. You won’t be able to get anything in the end.”

This was the bustling pedestrian area of Mingyang City. Now, the surrounding area had almost been transformed into a new modern outfit.

There were tall buildings present, looking modern.

Only this old, three-story building stood here, like a scar on smooth skin.

It was very eye-catching.

“Don’t make wild guesses. My family won’t sell this house because my sister was lost ten years ago. If this place was sold to you, you would tear it down and my sister wouldn’t be able to find her way home.”

“Do you understand? Who cares about your money?!” A youth could not help but shout at the man in the suit.

“I have heard many excuses, but this excuse of yours is new.”

The man in the suit had a disdainful look on his face. His indifferent eyes seemed to imply he had seen the worst performance. He laughed coldly, his eyes half-lidded.

“Actually, as long as the acting is almost done, no matter how bitter the act is, it will not win an award. How about this? I will add another 50,000. This is the maximum I can give you. Don’t push your luck too far.”

“Get lost, you b*stards! Don’t come again! Get lost!” the youth roared angrily. 

With a splash, a basin of black wok water was splashed out of the Chinese restaurant.

The people gathered at the door barely avoided it, dispersing one after another.

The man in the suit couldn’t avoid it in time and was splashed all over.

The people around the area were shocked, suddenly becoming nervous that the man in the suit would explode.

Unexpectedly, the man in the suit was neither upset nor angry. 

He simply stood up and slowly shook off the water droplets from his clothes.

“It seems that you’re determined not to cooperate. If that’s the case, then you should take care of yourself..”
