The God of War Chapter 148
The next morning…
A red Porsche slowly stopped in front of the Sunset Welfare Institution.
The Sunset Welfare Institution was in the western suburbs of Ocean City, located at the junction of the old urban
area and the new urban area.
Almost all the old residential areas around had been moved, and the new residential area was in full swing. The
bulletin boards on the side of the road were filled with advertisements about residential areas sales.
“Hello, Mr. Owen.”
Jorge and Roselyn walked into the Director’s office and directly stated their intentions. They took out another ten
thousand and smiled, saying, “We’ll take Mr. Easton home now. Please take the money and buy some things for the
elderly here.”
Diego, the Director of the Sunset Welfare Institution, looked at them and hesitated for a while. He said, “Mr. Green,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMs. Easton, you are big shots in Ocean City. I didn’t want to trouble you, but…”
Diego shook his head, a hint of bitterness on his face. He said, “Forget it. I’ll get someone to handle the formalities
for Mr. Easton. Please wait a xo.com fast updatemoment.”
As soon as Diego finished speaking, he immediately picked up the telephone on his desk and arranged for the nurse
to handle the formalities for Kaleb.
“Mr. Owen.”
After Diego finished the call, Roselyn pursed her lips and whispered, “When I was young, I donated money to this
place. When the Eastons put me out on the street and I had nowhere to go, you took me in for a while.”
She continued, “Just now, you seemed to have something to say. If there is anything I can help you with, just say it!”
Diego was silent for a while and finally sighed, “Actually, it’s not a big deal. Recently…”
Over the past few years, the old city district of Ocean City had been rebuilt one after another. The old residential
areas and commercial houses near the Sunset Welfare Institution had all been included in the plan of
reconstruction.
According to the instructions of the higher-ups, whether to rebuild or not all depends on residents’ willingness.
However, the developer in charge of this piece of land was the Construction Group of Ocean City. It was said that
the Construction Group had strong backing and used various methods to forcibly demolish the old buildings. The
Sunset Welfare Institution was in danger and could be violently demolished at any time!
“The Sunset Welfare Institution is in the old city area, and this district is getting more and more prosperous and
bustling.”
Diego took out his glasses from the drawer and put them on. He pointed at a map of Ocean City from his phone
and said, “I chose a few locations and hoped to move the welfare institution over there. Otherwise, the old people
living here will be homeless!”
He continued, “But, even the cheapest location is not something we can afford.”
Jorge narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, “Mr. Owen, according to Ocean City’s compensation standard, you
should have received a lot of compensation, right?”
Diego sighed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe shook his head and smile bitterly, saying, “The Sunset Welfare Institution is not small. It has a total of over two
thousand square meters. Include the buildings on the ground, they should compensate us at least sixty million. If so,
moving the welfare institution is not a problem.”
He sighed and said, “However, the Construction Group only offered five million as compensation!”
Five million? Roselyn was surprised. She said, “Not even a tenth of the compensation standard! Didn’t the higher-
ups say that whether to rebuild or not all depends on residents’ willingness? Mr. Owen, you don’t want to move,
right?”
“Yes.”
Diego looked at the old people who were basking in the sun in the yard outside the office and said, “I have lived
here for more than twenty years. I regard the old people here as my family. Let alone five million, even they give
me fifty million or five hundred million, I still don’t want to move it!”
He rubbed his eyes and said helplessly, “However, so what if we don’t want to move? The Construction Group is too
powerful. We can’t afford to offend them. Even if we don’t want to move, we have to move. Their means are too
ruthless!”
Their means?
Jorge held Roselyn’s hand and looked into Diego’s eyes. He said softly, “Mr. Owen, what did the Construction Group
do?
