124: Chapter 124 Monster!

A few days later, the construction site for Phase II of Lin Clan Royal View Bay was a scene of bustling activity.

Machines roared, and the air was filled with the clamor of voices.

Although winter was fast approaching, the workers were full of energy, working shirtless with steam rising from their bodies.

Each of them wore a thick cotton hat and a large mask over their faces, leaving only a pair of slightly bloodshot eyes visible.

They looked a bit strange.

But when they got to work, it was truly terrifying!

One man carried four bags of cement, walking as if he were flying!

Another pushed a wheelbarrow loaded with red bricks up a slope as if it were child's play!

These were the Green-Skinned Orc Laborers Lin Chuan had summoned from the system!

Although they were kept wrapped up tightly to avoid suspicion, their physique and strength simply couldn't be hidden.

Even though Phase II hadn't opened for sales yet, the sheer number of people coming every day to pay deposits and inspect the foundations had already worn down the threshold of the sales office.

At the same time...

Other sales offices in Harbin were as quiet as a graveyard.

"Damn it! Another three units returned!"

The local top real estate developer, 'Big Head' Zhao Zhu, looked at the refund applications in his hand and smashed his purple clay teapot in a rage.

"Everyone's going to buy that Lin Clan Royal View Bay! Our six-story slab buildings aren't moving at all!"

"If this keeps up, we'll all be eating dirt!"

A group of small developers sitting nearby also had long faces.

"Brother Zhao, this Lin Chuan is playing too dirty!"

"He's smashing our rice bowls!"

"We have to teach him a lesson!"

A flash of ruthlessness crossed Zhao Zhu's eyes.

"That's for sure!"

"I've already contacted 'Brother Pao' from the underworld."

"He's the most famous local thug around here. He's got over a hundred brothers under him, all of them desperate criminals."

"I don't believe Lin Chuan's construction site can keep running smoothly forever."

"As long as something happens at the site—a death or a shutdown for ten days to half a month..."

"Those buyers will definitely want refunds! That's when our chance will come!"

Everyone gave him a thumbs up:

"It has to be Brother Zhao! Brilliant!"

"As long as we ruin their site, we can come back to life!"

...

That afternoon.

Dozens of Wuling Hongguang vans roared through the north gate of the Royal View Bay Phase II construction site.

The doors slid open.

*Clatter—*

Over a hundred people piled out!

Every one of them held steel pipes, pickaxe handles, or even machetes.

The leader was a bald man with a face full of scars, a thick gold chain around his neck, and a large iron rod in his hand.

It was the local bully, Brother Pao.

"Everyone stop!!"

Brother Pao smashed his rod against a large iron drum used for mixing cement.

*Clang—!!*

A massive sound rang out, deafening everyone.

"Who told you lot you could work here?!"

"Did you get my, Brother Pao's, permission?!"

"Have you paid the protection fee?!"

Brother Pao roared while directing his subordinates:

"Go! Pull the power switch for me!"

"Slash the tires on that brick cart!"

"Shut down that tower crane!!"

The group of thugs immediately rushed forward like wolves and tigers.

Some threw stones at windows, while others used knives to cut electrical wires.

A few even threw sacks of dead cats and dogs into the newly poured foundations.

"Bad luck! Let's add some spice for you!!"

"Hahahaha! Whoever lives here in the future is going to be cursed!!"

The workers who were busy stopped what they were doing.

But strangely...

They didn't panic and flee like ordinary migrant workers.

Instead, they silently set down their cement bags and bricks.

Then, a fierce glint suddenly erupted in those eyes that had previously seemed a bit dull!

It was the instinctive reaction of an Orc being provoked!

"What are you doing?! What are you looking at?!"

Seeing that the workers weren't running but were instead surrounding them, Brother Pao suddenly felt something was wrong.

Why was every single one of these guys so heavily built?

And...

Why did it feel like there was a thick aura of bloodlust?

"Shit! You dare glare at me?!"

Brother Pao was a ruthless man himself and felt these workers were challenging his authority.

"Brothers! Beat them!!"

"Beat them to death!!"

"Cripple a few to show that Lin Chuan! This is what happens when you offend our boss!!"

Following Brother Pao's order...

Over a hundred thugs brandished their weapons, howling as they charged at the group of workers.

However...

What happened in the next second was something they would never forget for the rest of their lives.

A worker standing at least 2.3 meters tall, with muscles like solid rock, was seen.

Facing the three thugs charging at him...

He didn't dodge or flinch.

He simply reached out with two massive, fan-like hands.

*Slap! Slap!*

Two crisp sounds.

It was like swatting two flies.

The two thugs holding machetes were slapped flying five or six meters away!

They spun three and a half times in the air, and by the time they hit the ground, their faces were swollen like pig heads and their teeth were all gone!

Immediately after...

The worker grabbed the steel pipe the third thug swung at him.

*Creeeak—*

That solid steel pipe was actually bent by him with raw strength!!

It was turned into a U-shape!

"Is... is this fucking human?!"

The thug was so scared he pissed himself, his legs going weak as he fell to his knees.

But that was only the beginning.

The dozens of workers nearby all moved.

They didn't even need weapons.

They grabbed bricks or rebar from the ground, or simply used their fists.

It was like tigers entering a flock of sheep!

"Ah!!! Not the face!!"

"My leg!! It's broken!!"

"That's rebar, big brother!! Don't poke my butt with that!!"

Screams rose one after another.

The hundred-plus gangsters who usually acted all high and mighty were like weaklings before these Orcs!

Some were tossed away like little chicks, while others were punched so hard they were embedded into sand piles.

Brother Pao was completely stunned.

Even the iron rod in his hand was shaking.

What kind of fucking construction site was this?

This was clearly a monster park!!

These people... no, these monsters, had terrifying strength and skin so thick that a steel pipe hitting them was like an itch being scratched!

"Ghost!!! Run!!!"

Brother Pao shrieked, dropped his iron rod, and turned to flee.

However...

A large green hand grabbed him by the collar from behind.

It was like picking up a small chick.

Brother Pao felt his feet leave the ground.

He looked back.

He saw an Orc whose hat had fallen off during the exertion, revealing half of a green face, baring its teeth at him.

Inside that bloody maw, fangs were sharp and jagged!

"Ahhh————!!! A monster!!!!"

Brother Pao's eyes rolled back, and he fainted on the spot.

...

Half an hour later.

Inside a temporary office on the site.

The once insufferable Brother Pao was now bruised and bloody, kneeling on the floor.

Beside him knelt a row of equally miserable-looking lackeys.

The green-faced Orc who had scared him unconscious was squatting by the door gnawing on a raw chicken leg, occasionally eyeing him as if he were food.

It made Brother Pao tremble uncontrollably.

Behind the desk...

Sat a man in a black trench coat with a cold gaze.

It was Lin Jiang!

The past two months of experience, combined with managing a business worth hundreds of millions, had given the once honest older brother a certain air of authority.

That natural dignity made Brother Pao afraid to even look up.

"Speak."

Lin Jiang twirled a pen in his hand, his voice very flat.

"Who sent you?"

"No one... no one..."

Brother Pao was about to play tough.

The Orc at the door suddenly stood up and crushed a nearby iron bucket with one foot.

*Crunch!*

The bucket was instantly flattened into a disc.

Brother Pao jerked, and his crotch got wet again.

"I'll talk!! I'll talk!!"

"It's Zhao Zhu! 'Big Head' Zhao!!"

"And Li Fugui! Zhang Haishan!"

"They sent me!!"

"They said your development is selling too well and stealing their business!"

"They gave me fifty thousand to come sabotage you!!"

"To shut down the site! To make the buyers want refunds!!"

Brother Pao cried with snot and tears, spilling everything like beans from a bag.

"Brother Zhao said if I didn't talk, there'd be another fifty thousand after it was done..."

"Big brother! Spare me!! I won't do it again!!"

After listening, a cold light flashed in Lin Jiang's eyes.

These bastards.

They couldn't compete fairly, so they started playing dirty?

Cutting off someone's wealth is like killing their parents!

Since you won't follow the rules, don't blame me for being impolite!

Lin Jiang picked up the mobile phone on the desk and dialed Lin Chuan's number.

"Hello? Brother."

"Yeah, it's settled."

"Caught a few thugs and got the truth out of them."

"It was Zhao Zhu and that bunch of local developers."

"They said we're taking their livelihoods and wanted to ruin our site."

From the other end came Lin Chuan's lazy voice, sounding as if he were drinking tea.

"Heh, a bunch of clowns."

"Brother, let Long Wu handle those thugs. Just don't kill anyone. Have them go to the police station to surrender and write out their confessions in detail."

As for those developers...

Lin Chuan's voice carried a hint of a smile, but it was enough to make one shiver.

"Since they don't want to do business properly..."

"Then we'll help them out."

"Starting tomorrow, send dozens of Green-Skins to their construction sites every day to cause trouble."
