Chapter 173 - 158 Demolition, Street Race
Wang Xuan’s words fell, everyone followed the direction she was pointing and looked over.
Not far away, the streets were lined with various signs, and in the middle of the street, two groups of people were confronting each other, with many onlookers pointing and whispering.
"What are they doing?" someone asked.
Wang Xuan looked and said, "They are probably in a standoff over demolition."
"Demolition?"
"Yes, a developer plans to turn this area into the business center of Yuhe City. They have been buying up land in recent months, and many nearby shops have been bought out. Only this Martial Arts Street remains, and negotiations have not been going smoothly."
"Hah, a bunch of martial artists. Of course, the negotiations are tough." someone laughed.
Demolition, after all, is the same in the dark... one side desperately lowers the price, the other side desperately raises it, and those who are dead set against demolition are mostly because they aren’t offered enough money.
Generally speaking, if the negotiations break down completely, friction might occur. Ordinary families can’t stand the scare and might quickly compromise, but Martial Arts Street is full of martial artists. Intimidating them is a tough task, so as soon as everyone heard that the demolition negotiations were challenging, they could roughly guess what was happening.
While discussing, they approached Martial Arts Street.
As Wu Li got closer, he saw who was confronting each other: on the left, a group of people dressed in various colored training suits—red, white, black—all full of righteous indignation; on the right, almost everyone had tattoos, looking fierce and menacing.
