Chapter 74: 063 Forced Purchase (First Update) Chapter 74: 063 Forced Purchase (First Update) As soon as Fang Yuxin saw a crowd gathered at the entrance of her house, she panicked, realizing something was amiss, and urged Qiu Yiming to drive faster. Although Qiu Yiming was in a bad mood, he knew the priority, and seeing that something seemed wrong at the Fang Family, he quickly drove the car over.
As they approached, they heard someone say arrogantly, “Brother Wan is willing to buy your house because he respects you. I advise you not to refuse the kind offer and end up with nothing!”
No sooner had he finished speaking than another person chimed in, “Name your price, how many credit points will it take for you to sell?”
Then, Fang Yuxin heard Fang Yuyang’s voice, “Please leave, no amount of credit points can buy this house. Save your efforts.”
His words evidently angered the group as someone shouted, “Acting ungrateful, huh? Brother Wan, I think this kid is quite stubborn, a lesson might be needed to soften him up.”
After that statement, another person spoke, “Fang Yuyang, Mr. Fang, things are different now. You dragging your family along and living in such a big house, is it necessary? I’m not taking advantage of you, I house, three thousand credit points, I’ll buy it, how about it?”
When Fang Yuxin heard this, she was infuriated. Although she anticipated many would covet their house, she hadn’t expected a new group to show up just a day after dealing with the last one!
She turned to Qiu Yiming and asked, “What’s going on? Are people really allowed to forcefully buy others’ houses in the Safe Zone? Doesn’t anyone manage these matters?”
Qiu Yiming sighed, explaining to her, “Indeed, such things happen. Many houses within the Safe Zone have owners, and the remaining houses are hardly sufficient to accommodate all the survivors. It’s difficult for the military to forcibly requisition homes from owners, but if there are private transactions, as long as they’re not too excessive, the military won’t intervene.”
As he spoke, he stopped the car, and Fang Yuxin quickly unbuckled her seatbelt, opened the door, and got out. The crowd at the Fang Family’s entrance initially thought it was a passerby, and became alert only when the car stopped. As Fang Yuxin stepped out, their gazes instinctively shifted towards her. Noticing her beauty, some even whistled disrespectfully.
But soon after, their attention turned to the bag Fang Yuxin held. The crowd included both superpower users and Ordinary People; Ordinary People couldn’t sense the Crystal Core’s energy fluctuations, but the superpower users could! Thus, these superpower users shifted their intense gaze from Fang Yuxin’s appearance to the bag in her hand, eager to snatch it away.
They dared to approach the Fang Family about buying the house because they, like the Fang Family, had established their own Mercenary Team and even earned plenty of credit points on missions with the military. However, they didn’t have many Crystal Cores. The bag Fang Yuxin was carrying had a hundred Crystal Cores, explaining their fervent interest.
Fang Yuxin glanced around, noting there were 20 individuals— all male. Superpower users made up the majority, with twelve; the remaining eight were Ordinary People.
They seemed comparably strong, certainly stronger than the group that caused trouble yesterday, which might explain why Fang Yuyang, though angry, hadn’t fought. Such a large group engaging in a fight would indeed be troublesome!
Realizing that all twelve superpower users were intensely fixated on her bag, and the remaining eight Ordinary People looked equally malicious, Fang Yuxin’s expression darkened, and she felt significantly displeased.
Just then, Qiu Yiming got out of the car and walked over. Seeing him, the faces of the 20 men changed immediately. Qiu Yiming was clad in a camouflage combat uniform, and they all recognized his face!
That day, when they accompanied the military on a task, Qiu Yiming was the leader!
Thus, their expressions changed abruptly, and they quickly curbed their earlier brashness, the arrogant air vanishing without a trace, turning suddenly polite and meek. One of them stepped forward briskly and approached Qiu Yiming, smiling and ingratiatingly asking, “Captain Qiu, are you just passing by?”
Clearly, he still harbored some hope.
Qiu Yiming merely coolly glanced at them and then, in front of everyone, put his arm around Fang Yuxin’s waist. Seeing the man wince, he then coolly said, “What are you planning by blocking my fiancée’s house entrance?”
