Chapter 14
Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 14
Soon, Emmanuel and Sheldon arrived at the project
site.
The project site was originally an abandoned factory.
Terence Group bought the land and wanted to build a
largeâscale, strategic warehouse. The company then
commissioned Cloud Construction to build the
warehouse.
Halfway through the construction, the land had been
taken over by a group of thugs as their activity site.
They did so because the previous factory owner owed
them their salaries.
âWhat the f*ck? Are you guys a bunch of dimwits? Are
you guys here to chase us away again?â

âThe previous owner hasnât paid us, so weâre not
leaving!â

âBesides, Mr. Webber isnât negotiating with you guys. No
matter how many times you try, you will achieve
nothing!â
âAre you not afraid of death? I dare you guys to get the
police involved!â
Upon seeing Emmanuel and Sheldon, the thugs in the
factory started swearing at them fearlessly.
If Cloud Construction could deal with the thugs, they
wouldâve left the factory long ago.
At that moment, Sheldon cast a helpless glance at
Emmanuel, and he was already thinking about fleeing.
However, Emmanuel wanted to bring Mackenzie to
meet his mother, so he wasnât giving up so easily.

âGet your boss to meet me now! Otherwise, I wonât
show any of you mercy!â Emmanuel threatened the
thugs with a determined look in his eyes. I know how to
deal with these thugs. If I were to go soft on them, they
would just keep pushing me around. The only way to
deal with them is to do it the hard way!
True enough, the thugs immediately stopped
swearing, and some were even so flabbergasted that
they dropped their cigarettes onto the ground. Wow!
This man is a bad*ss!
The thugs had been there for a long time and had
never seen someone as bold as Emmanuel.
There are only two of us here. How dare he talk like
that? Sheldon was shivering in fear. Is Emmanuel a
fool? Is he going to fight these thugs for money?
Right then, Milani, in an MPV owned by Cloud
Construction, arrived at the entrance of the factory.
She had gone there specifically to watch Emmanuel
die because she couldnât swallow her anger.
In her pair of stylish sunglasses, she was smiling and
waiting for the show to begin.
Emmanuel couldnât care less about why she was there.
Nevertheless, he was glad she showed up. âMilani!
Bring the legal documents here! Show these guys the
documents so that theyâll scram!â
What the f*ck? Milani was stunned when she heard
Emmanuelâs words. Is he stupid? Does he think the
thugs care about the laws? If they did, this matter
wouldâve been settled long ago!
5/14
âWhat are you waiting for, Ms. Zimmerman? Youâre here
to bring us the legal documents, right?â Sheldon was a
dense man, and he had no idea what was on Milaniâs
mind. Hence, he walked up to her instantly.
Right then, all the thugs in the factory were staring at
Milani and smiling lecherously.
Seeing that, Milani started to tremble in fear. If the
thugs choose to take matters into their own hands, Iâll
surely get dragged into this mess. What if they come
after me because of my good looks? I wonât be able to
escape their clutches!
With that in mind, Milani answered, âWhat are you
talking about, Sheldon? What documents? I donât know
what nonsense you are talking about!â
Milani was eager to distance herself from Emmanuel
and Sheldon, and she even wanted to run away there
and then. I came to watch Emmanuel get into trouble,
but Iâm about to end up in hot water myself!
Before she could drive away, Emmanuel reached his
hand into the car and took out the legal documents in
the car!
After that, he flashed a halfâsmile and uttered, âMs.
Zimmerman, are you already forgetting things? Arenât
these the legal documents?â
Milaniâs face went pale, and a grim expression soon

Unapler Ya Merles
appeared on her face.
7/14
In a fit of rage, she gritted her teeth and thundered,
âAre you crazy, Emmanuel? You might want to die, but I
donât! What makes you think you can get rid of these
thugs? If you can do it, Iâll give you a kiss in return!â
To her surprise, Emmanuel answered nonchalantly, âIâm
sorry, but Iâm really not interested in you.â
Milani was so enraged that her mind had gone blank.
Instead of saying anything, she could only glare at
Emmanuel.
The latter ignored her, grabbed the legal documents,
and walked toward the entrance.
The moment he turned around, he saw a dozen burly
men walking out of the building. All of a sudden, the
burly men had the three of them surrounded.
âEmmanuel, we should leave now.â Sheldon was
chickening out when he saw that. I want to get my job
done, but Iâm not risking my life for it!
Meanwhile, Milani quickly returned to the car and rolled
down the window to make fun of Emmanuel. âLoser,
youâve lost your mind, havenât you? Are you risking your
life to make money because youâve failed to find
yourself a wife?â
Emmanuel didnât bother to respond to that. I canât find
a wife? Iâm fighting for my future wife now!
Without the slightest fear, Emmanuel opened the
documents and showed them to the thugs. âThis is the
Chapter 14 Merciless
real estate document of Terence Group and the
construction permit of Cloud Construction. This land
has long been owned by Terence Group and has
nothing to do with your previous boss. Please leave
immediately!â
Upon hearing Emmanuelâs serious tone, the thugs froze
momentarily before bursting into laughter.
âHaha! This fellow is a simpleton! Why is he telling us
that?â
9/14
âCut the crap! Letâs finish him!â
The group of thugs clenched their fists and got ready
to fight.
Sheldon was so frightened that his knees had gone
weak. Iâm just an office worker. I have never even been
in a fight!
On the other hand, Milani locked her car doors from
the inside, and she was ready to drive off at any time.
The principle of betraying a friend rather than sacrificing oneself described the situation perfectly at
that moment. All she wanted was to stay alive.
Emmanuel wasnât afraid, though. He was in the army for seven years. He was used to risking his life on the
Chapter 14 Merciless
battlefield on a daily basis, so he wasnât backing down
11/14
from a group of thugs and a fight. This is nothing but a
joke!
âDie, punk!â A man with an afro swung a chain at
Emmanuel.
That man was one of Samuelâs capable fighters, and
he was involved in fights all the time. If he were to beat
up a guy that came to chase them out of the factory,
Samuel would be more than appreciative.
In fact, the man with an afro had beaten up quite a
few people before, and some were so badly injured
that they had to receive emergency treatment at the
hospital.
That was how they scared the people from Cloud
Construction off. None of the people involved in the
project dared to call the police on the thugs.
Gradually, they gained control of the piece of land.
When everyone was waiting to see the chain hit
Emmanuel and him bleeding all over the face,
Emmanuel swiftly dodged it and threw a punch.
Bang!
The man with an afro was sent flying away. Not only
did blood splatter everywhere, but the man with an
afro also ended up knocking six other thugs down.
Oh, sh*t! The smiles on the thugsâ faces froze.
Milani was stumped when she saw Emmanuel fight.
This man can fight!
Before the man with an afro could stand up,
Emmanuel walked over to him with an icy expression
and stomped on the manâs leg.
Crack!
âAh!â The manâs body was flung into the air before
crashing back onto the ground. All of a sudden, the
manâs face turned purplish, and he was rolling on the
ground as he screamed in pain.

Having witnessed that, everyone at the scene broke
into a cold sweat. Thatâs so ruthless! He broke the
manâs leg without batting an eyelid! How is he so
coldâblooded? Who is he?
