Chapter 79
"How many shell companies were leeching off just one House?"
A season where winter had fully retreated. That was when Mu-gyeong learned of Guppping’s House.
"I thought it was just some no-name gambling den, but turns out the bastard’s got some brains. Isn’t it insane he’s still hanging on?"
"He’s acting up because they’ve been going easy on him. Try stuffing him with cash and see what happens."
After years of suffering through tearing down a mansion to build a hotel, Mu-gyeong had finally thought he might catch a break. And yet, here he was again, saddled with another headache. He lazily opened the file.
"Even if you’re being generous, that place’s worth maybe ₩1.5 billion. And this guy’s lying on the ground demanding ₩30 billion. That sound normal to you?"
"₩30 billion? Sounds more like someone’s dog’s name."
If it was being used as a House, the building’s facilities probably weren’t anything special either. The absurd figure made Mu-gyeong let out a dry laugh.
"Previous contractors tried forced demolition a few times, but looks like there were some accidents. We’ll need a clean approach to get them out."
He skimmed through the documents related to the House. A lot had gone down on such a tiny patch of land.
Three attempts at forced demolition with no compensation agreement in place. And in each of those attempts, a hired laborer had died. Seeing that they’d even appealed the eviction case, it looked like they’d hang on no matter what until they got their ₩30 billion.
"Looks like they’re hellbent on squeezing every last drop out of that House."
