Chapter 27: He Has Been Living In A Slanted Building to Protest!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Bruce, who was upstairs, saw and heard it very clearly.
As for this matter, it had nothing to do with him in the first place. He stayed here to solve the problem with the house and the points.
If it could be solved immediately, he would have moved out long ago. Who would stay here to look at a slanted-30-degree view?
However, what Aurora did was what he should do. Just let her do get busy with whatever she wanted.
After waiting for everyone to leave, Bruce saw the figure again. He did not leave with the previous person. Instead, he stood at the same spot and looked at Bruce. When they eyes met, Bruce could vaguely see that his eyes were bloodshot.
Then, this figure walked out of Bruce’s sight.
‘Forget it, what’s the point of thinking so much.’
Bruce, who had returned to the house, lay in bed again and quietly looked at his phone.
..
On Aurora’s side.
From a small group of a dozen people, it instantly grew into a large group of hundreds.
Everyone listened to Aurora’s instructions.
Among them were community workers, neighbours, community residents, and also Bruce’s fans. They came along because they wanted to support Bruce.
Unexpectedly, after they arrived…
They began to post messages on the Internet.
“Bruce, who is the real-life inspiration of Flame Man, is still worrying about the house. The developer did not solve the problem, thus making Bruce live in a 30-degree tilted building to protest.”
“Oh my God! How could they become a developer? Shouldn’t the government do something about it?!”
“According to the information I just received, the government has already stepped in. However, the developers are shameless. After this incident, they only provided them with a temporary residence. They did not tell the residents when they would rebuild their houses. Therefore, this matter will not be resolved in a short period of time unless they protest.”
“We are sending out a message to gather people. Anyone else can come to the scene and help these residents? Bruce himself is already living in the building for the sake of protest. I don’t think people like him should be let down!”
“I’ll Go! I’m right around the corner.”
“Stop talking, I’ll go too…”
“Go! Go! Go! Go!”
For a moment, the news was like a huge stone that had been smashed into the water, creating huge waves.
In less than an hour, the number of people had increased from a hundred to thousands.
With such a huge manpower base, the developer could not help but frown.
At this moment, in the developer’s building.
On the top floor.
The cigar in between the developer’s boss’ clenched hand was almost broken. The veins on his forehead bulged as he growled in a low voice, “What’s going on downstairs? Why would such a big assembly appear in a residential area? Someone better come out and explain it to me!”
Behind him, a few subordinates’ eyes were filled with fear. Cold sweat gradually dripped down from their foreheads.
“Boss, this is because the original creator and the original character of Flame Man are the masterminds behind this incident. One of them brought people to protest with you, and the other one hasn’t moved out until now. He has been living in the building to protest.”
“The government has already intervened in this matter before. I warned you before, and you said that we didn’t need to pay attention to such matter, and now it has escalated to this…”
The subordinate’s voice became softer and softer until he finally fell silent.
SNAPPED!
The boss slammed the table with all his might, causing the huge room to reverberate.
“What did I hire you guys for?! If you can’t even solve this small matter, why do I need you?!”
“I’ve already understood the situation. Just tell me, how do I solve this matter?!”
A strange light flashed in his eyes, and his expression became distorted due to his anger.
“Boss, if we want to solve the problem, we must first solve the source of the problem. Why don’t we talk to him on the surface and wait until tonight, then…”
Another cunning-looking man told him his plan.
After a while, the boss laughed upon hearing the plan.
“Hahahaha, not bad. This method works. Isn’t it just one life?”
“A few hundred thousand is so much easier than building a building. I want to see who dares to demonstrate in front of my company after this!”
The boss spat out a cigar and looked at Aurora with a hint of cruelty in his eyes. “I want to turn you into a bitch who only knows how to bark!”
..
Soon, the developers’ negotiators, lawyers, and other professionals arrived.
After an afternoon of negotiations.
The developers finally agreed to coordinate. But from Aurora’s point of view, it seemed like they were deliberately stalling for time. They had to wait until the next day for the matter to come to a conclusion. Even though she didn’t know what they had up their sleeves, but Aurora was sure that they will do something astonishing in one night.
Aurora wasn’t too worried. The entire incident had been recorded. Even if there was a final appeal, the evidence in her hands would still be used as proof. Finally, there was some progress in the negotiation.
As the sky turned dark, Aurora returned to Bruce’s place.
“You’re just going to lie here for the entire afternoon?!”
“Please, just pack up. Don’t tell me you’re going to leave without anything?!”
Aurora looked at Bruce, who was still lying on the floor and sighed. Why would she fall in love with such a lazy guy.
Bruce looked at the broken electrical appliances in the room, then at most of the damaged clothes. He asked, “Is there anything else that I can take with me?!”
Aurora was stunned, but she finally reacted. “Okay, okay, I was wrong. I’ll go and cook. As long as you… you… you rest.”
“Alright.” Seeing that Aurora didn’t have any plans, Bruce casually agreed and continued to flip through his phone.
Two hours later, the two of them finished eating and sat on the sofa.
Although the building was tilted, many of the facilities were still intact.
Bruce and Aurora leaned against each other and watched Friends on their phone. If it wasn’t for the broken TV, they might not have to hold their breath so much.
Aurora laughed as she patted the sofa. There were tears in her eyes because she laughed too much.
Bruce also felt unusually relaxed and laughed along with her.
‘This was such a wonderful feeling.’
Although Aurora’s personality was unpredictable, being with her made Bruce feel a little comfortable.
Annie gave people a feeling of after-marriage life.
Laura was a lover.
Aurora was the feeling of being in love.
The three levels of feeling made Bruce feel fresh.
“Hahahahahaha! Look! Look at him, he’s so funny!”
Aurora kept patting Bruce’s shoulder, making him look at the screen.
“Yeah! Hahahahaha…” Bruce laughed along.
