The Guardian's Return by Old Pumpkin

Chapter 317

Nico contacted the villagers who were ordered to move and found out that they were only offered 7 grand per square meter.

He then tricked them by saying, "The other villages were offered 10 grand per square meter, and you guys only got 7? The village chief must have pocketed the difference."

Many villagers trusted him and started to direct their grudges at Hendrick. Someone questioned Hendrick in person but received a scolding instead. From that point, the villagers' grudge towards Hendrick was amplified.

Hendrick found out that Nico started it, so he confronted the man. "Don't speak nonsense and accuse me! The mayor offered 7 grand per square meter! I am not pocketing the difference!"

Convinced otherwise, Nico scoffed. "Stop lying."

Hendrick got carried away by his anger and punched Nico in the face.

However, Nico did not fight back. After Hendrick left, he modified the details and told the villagers that Hendrick beat him up because he saw through the latter's wicked scheme.

The villagers trusted Nico even more.

Next, Nico led the villagers into the mountains for logging. They didn't just target the eucalyptus trees; they also went after rare and precious species, including some that were strictly forbidden to be cut down.
