Chapter 1: Slandering me as a nail house owner?

The rumble of an excavator rang out, and a group of hatted workers, fully armed, gathered downstairs of Su Ming's building!

It was clear that a forced demolition was imminent!

And in front of the house, Su Ming stood there, fearless and undeterred!

It was because the group before him was planning to demolish his house!

"Fuck you, little bastard! Get out of here!"

"Or we'll tear you down too!"

The foreman, atop the excavator, cursed through a megaphone.

The boss had given him a death order: this house must be demolished today. If they did, they'd get a ton of money!

Su Ming's face darkened at the words!

"No! There's dirt underneath."

"If you do, all that dirt will come out!"

"You can't afford the consequences!"

Su Ming declared gravely.

Indeed, this house was his ancestral legacy. His family was a line of Taoist priests, a single-line tradition!

When his grandfather first arrived at this place, he discovered dirt underneath, and it had become a massive force!

Even if Grandpa was a Heavenly Master, he might not be able to eliminate them!

Therefore, he used a formation to seal them, lest they escape one day and endanger the world. He even built a house on top of it to protect the formation from being destroyed!

And this house was passed down from his grandfather's generation to his father, and finally to him!

Three generations of them have guarded this formation,

preventing those filthy things underground from escaping!

However, now these people actually want to forcibly demolish his house?!

If it is really demolished, how will he face his grandfather and father in the future?!

What's more, if the house is demolished and the things underground escape, the first to die will be these people who forcibly demolish it!

So, no matter what, he must stop the demolition, protect the formation, protect these people, and protect the residents of Jiangcheng!

After hearing Su Ming's words, the contractor's face was fierce!

"Can't you handle the consequences?!"

"I've seen so much!!"

"A brat like you, saying there's something dirty down there, is just trying to get more money from me!"

"Get out of here!"

"Otherwise, I'll make you look bad!"

The bald contractor, with a fierce look on his face, yelled at Su Ming!

He'd seen countless people like Su Ming, these people coming up with countless excuses just to get more money!

This guy was even more ridiculous, even bringing up something like dirty stuff!

It's the 21st century now, and he can't even come up with a good excuse to get more money!

Su Ming's face darkened upon hearing this!

Was there really no way to communicate? Or would they choose forced demolition?!

Stopping the demolition was to protect these people from being harmed by those dirty people!

Yet, these people thought they were just after the money?!

Just then, a reporter from Minsheng TV, holding a microphone nearby, seemed to be reporting something.

"Dear residents of Jiangcheng, this is xxx TV!"

"We're at the demolition site!"

"This place will be demolished, and a public welfare facility, Jiangcheng Park, will be planned!"

"It's a facility that benefits the country and the people, but it's being blocked during demolition."

"What's the reason? Please follow our camera and find out the real situation!"

The host said, then took the camera and went to interview the foreman!

The foreman changed his previous fierce expression and pretended to be helpless and pitiful!

"Here's what happened. We received an order to demolish the house!"

"But this guy, the owner of the house, said there was something dirty under the house."

"He blocked the excavator and stopped the demolition!"

"I've seen a lot of people like him."

"He just wants more demolition compensation!"

"What do you think we're doing? We're going to tear down the house and build a facility that benefits the country and the people!"

"We clearly gave this guy the demolition compensation, but he's actually asking for more. Is that how he behaves?"

The foreman said at this moment, very sad.

The host fell silent after hearing this, then looked at Su Ming with disdain.

"Raising the price like that is truly unfair!"

"Besides, this project is a public welfare facility!"

the host said.

Su Ming frowned upon hearing this.

Raising the price? Otherwise, to protect the formation, to protect you from the filth underground,

why would he have stood in front of the excavator?! Now, he's putting all the blame on himself?!

For a moment, Su Ming felt aggrieved!

...

Soon, the interview video went viral on the local Jiangcheng internet!

After learning the reason behind the incident, the locals who saw it were furious!

"Damn it! This bastard is actually asking for too much? Didn't he pay the demolition fee?!"

"He's even trying to fool people with the idea of dirt in the basement!"

"He deserves it!"

"That's right! My grandparents are old, and they have to run a long way to the park next door for exercise. If they built a park here, they wouldn't have to go so far!"

"This project that benefits the country and the people is being stopped by a small, stubborn household!"

"Anyone, team up and take care of this bastard!"

On the local forums in Jiangcheng, many people were in an uproar, cursing Su Ming online!

The reason was simple: this guy was clearly trying to raise the price!

He didn't even bother to come up with a good excuse!

Dirt in the basement? I don't believe that!

...

And inside a villa in Jiangcheng,

a middle-aged man in a suit and jewels watched the TV report.

A sinister look on his face!

He was the boss who hired the demolition team!

Although he had paid the residents the demolition fee, he only gave half!

These poor country bumpkins have never seen money in their lives. Half of the demolition compensation is enough to send them away!

However, this guy named Su Ming actually wants to stop the demolition!

Could he get his wish?!

So, he'd called the TV station people!

Jiang Haosheng sneered at Su Ming, who had now infuriated the crowd.

Fight him?!

This kid's a bit naive!

...

Meanwhile, at the demolition site, Su Ming and the workers were still in a standoff!

Just then, a group of police officers arrived!

They were sweating profusely. Just now, their police station's phone had been flooded with calls!

Numerous residents had called the police, reporting this Su Ming for causing trouble!

Apparently, this Su Ming had already incurred public outrage!

"Who's Su Ming?!"

Leading police officer Zhang Daming approached the scene and said coldly.

"That's the guy!"

"Officer, this guy's asking for a higher price and showing no respect for the law!"

"Take him to the police station!"

the lead contractor shouted fiercely.

Su Ming's face darkened upon seeing this.

He had come here to protect this group of people, to protect the residents of Jiangcheng, from the dirty things underground. To this end, his grandfather, father, and he had even stood firm here for hundreds of years!

However, now, in order to forcibly demolish the house, they actually accused him of raising the price! They

even asked the police to arrest him?!

Thinking of this, Su Ming felt a surge of resentment in his heart!

What was the perseverance of three generations of them worth?!

Just as he was thinking this, a cold system voice rang out in his mind.

"Host detected, the regret system is binding!"

"If you make people have regret points, you will receive a lot of rewards!"

"Rewards include cultivation, magic, and so on!"

"Trigger event: Demolition (initial stage)"

Su Ming smiled after hearing the voice in his mind!

Now even the system can't stand it anymore, so it wants him to give up?!

As expected, the perseverance of three generations cannot withstand the greed of capital!

In this case, then demolish it now!
