past, present,

While they were drinking, they suddenly heard the sound of a car’s engineing from outside the
house, followed by the sound of its doors opening and closing. After that, two middle–aged men in suits
walked in with around a dozen construction
workers.
“Since when was this ce upied? I thought nobody has lived here for a long time,” said the
middle–aged man who was leading the crew.
“Where did you threee from? Why are you all here?” the other middle–aged man asked in an icy
tone.
Chuck and his trends turned over to look at them. Chuck got up and replied, “This is my house so
what’s wrong; with me staying here? Who are you people? I should be the one asking what you’re
doing here.”
The two middle–aged men exchanged looks while one of them took off his safety helmet and said,
“Bullsh*1. This ce is going to be demolished tomorrow so who are you to stay here? The bulldozer
will be here tomorrow moming so I want you three gone by then.”
“They’re going to demolish this ce?‘
Chuck had no idea his old house was going to be torn down
Seeing this, Heiss murmured, “Adrian, I did see some workers around the area when I got here earlier.
They’re nning to build some amodation for the schools nearby so this ce might really get

Adrian turned to the middle–aged men and asked, “Whichpany are you from? You’re all free to
take over this ce if you want but you’re going to have topensate the owner before doing so.”
“You little f*ck.”
The other middle–aged man with his safety helmet still on scowled. “The house has been unupied
for two years so its deed has been annulled. This isn’t a ploy to extort money from us, right? This whole
area belongs to ourpany now so pack up your stuff and get the f*ck out of here.”
Chuck was lost for words when he heard this, while Adrian stood up and said, “The owner of this ce
was in prison over the past two years. Even so, his house still remains, regardless of whether he was
upying it or not. So, who are you to tear it down withoutpensating him?
“Complete the procedure if you insist on tearing it down. Otherwise, nobily’s touching a single brick in
this house. Not even Internal Affairs.”
“Ho.. “That’s rather bold statement, you little fl… Were you under the impression 1 was asking you
nicely?”
The middle–aged man who said this was Dale Sney from Swallowston’s Garms Construction. He
was in charge of developing the area into school umtions.
In truth, all of the nearby residents had already beenpensated while Chuck’s house was sold to
theirpany by Internal Affairs since it was considered uninhabited. So, why would Dale agree to
compensate Chuck out of nowhere?
“I’m not a wry patent man so you’d better not test my limits. Now, stop wastin
time and get the Peck out of here!”
Adrian said, “Watch your tone. Also, you might want to rephrase your sentence before I make you!”
