Chapter 149: Obsessed with Money

Cecil angrily pushed Basil Jaak's hand away and sat back down in his seat.

Basil Jaak made an innocent gesture towards Jessica Flack and asked the driver, "What happened up ahead, driver?"

The driver said to Basil Jaak, "Some people have blocked the road, and the cars can't get through."

"Oh, that's bad news. We're still over twenty kilometers from Ghost City's downtown area!" Basil Jaak shook his head.

The driver nodded, "Exactly!"

Jessica Flack pondered and said, "Driver, go and ask them why they've blocked the road and won't let us through."

"Is there even a need to ask? It's definitely going to be a case of 'If I plant the tree, I own the road. If you don't pay the toll, you can't use it.'" Basil Jaak said with a slight smile, "I've encountered this kind of situation before."

"Hmph, I refuse to believe they'd dare to be so bold, to extort and blackmail in broad daylight," Cecil snorted with disbelief.
