“No way. We can’t let some fake officials push us around!”

“Guys, we can’t just stand here. Go get them!”

The townspeople didn’t need anyone to hype them up. They rushed forward on their own.

The officials were stunned.

What the hell was happening?

Had those people lost their minds?

“Police! Police!”

The SWAT team standing nearby jumped in right away and split the crowd apart.

The townspeople might have been strong, but they were no match for professionally trained officers.

Within minutes, the townspeople were subdued and forced to stand still, unable to move around.

The area finally went quiet.

Because SWAT couldn’t possibly be fake.

No hired actors would ever carry those weapons.

Eric sneered and looked at Michael. “Still think they’re actors?”

Michael wasn’t dumb. Growing up in Mapleford, he’d seen SWAT plenty of times. He could tell instantly

what was real.

Panic hit him.

If the SWAT was real, then who were those people?

Was the project really suspended?

Yvette staggered slightly, barely able to believe what was happening.

Just moments ago, she’d looked righteous and brave, standing up for the townspeople.

Her speech had even pushed them toward violence.

But how did it end?

Jasper had led people to attack those “actors” and ended up being taken down by SWAT instead.

Since he’d thrown the first punch, an officer kicked him hard.

Now he was squatting on the ground with his hands on his head, not daring to move.

Those who caused trouble were tightly restrained.

When they looked at Linda, their eyes were full of resentment.

She didn’t doubt for a second that some of them wanted to kill her. If the police left later, she might very well be beaten half to death.

So she had to prove also a victim–no better off than anyone else.

Taking a deep breath,

“If you’re saying development can’t happen, you should at least show an official document!”

As she spoke, she deliberately brought up what had happened earlier.

That instantly made the townspeople feel fooled.

They grouped and demanded answers.

Eric and Alice watched calmly, like they were watching a play.

They didn’t look involved at all.

Seeing them like that, Michael clenched his fists.

A sudden, violent urge to kill surged in his chest.

He thought about the time Eric went up the mountain and ran into venomous snakes. Why hadn’t one bitten him to death?

The rage nearly consumed him.

Luckily, Linda noticed something was wrong and quickly tugged his sleeve.

Michael snapped back to his senses.

The red haze in his eyes faded, but the hatred in his heart only grew stronger.

Alice glanced at Michael’s expression.

Someone who couldn’t control their emotions was never suited for real responsibility.

She truly couldn’t understand how the scheming Ruby had raised two foolish kids.

Still, she figured she should thank Ruby.

She looked away.
