Capítulo 609: 316 Hatred (First Update)

The weather had been rather gloomy these past few days, with a light drizzle falling.

The entire city was shrouded in the damp chills of the shadows, as if brewing a massive storm.

A few miles beyond the city of Jiangzhou, past the development zone, ramshackle buildings sprawled out. A desolate ruin waiting for revitalization.

Eighteen years ago, this had been a bustling village, where people led peaceful and contented lives. That was until one day someone came a knocking, suggesting a development project and proposed that the villagers relocate. Each family would be compensated based on the number of members and area of their land, and would also be provided with resettlement housing. They would not be left homeless, the man claimed.

Misled by his words, the villagers moved out. However, the promised compensation was late in coming, and the promised homes vanished without a trace.
