The Rise of the Urban God CHAPTER 225
“This is where we use incense to ripen the bananas in 24 to 36 hours,” Nelson explained as Ulmer plucked a green banana. “Don’t peel it. Green ones don’t taste sweet at all.” He picked a decently ripened banana and put it in Ulmer’s hand.After tasting it, Ulmer nodded. “Mhm… it’s sweet.”“It’ll get much sweeter in two days,” Nelson said. “By that time it’ll end up in the customers’ hands. Everything you see in this place is grown as naturally as possible. The farmers I’ve partnered with don’t use chemicals at all.”“Then how do you get so much produce?” Ulmer couldn’t help but ask. “You can’t use manure for so many acres of farming land, right?”“Yes, we use all kinds of old techniques,” Nelson explained. “We put quartz crystals and copper rods in the farming lands. They boost production by electrifying the earth and keeping it nutrient rich. That’s just one of the techniques we use. I can’t tell you everything as we have to keep some things secret.”“I get it. I get it,” Ulmer finis

On the rooftop of the storage facility, which was rented for an open restaurant, where only fruit and veg dishes were served.Nelson and Ulmer were sitting at a table, and Ulmer was loving the taste of the dishes. “These salads are all good. I’ve heard about the FAV restaurant, but I think it’s owned by you.”“No, we’re partners with the owner,” Nelson said. “The restaurant has become famous because only fresh dishes are served here. We don’t have any Michelin stars as we can’t afford to pay them the money they asked us in order to give us a rating, but we take pride in serving the cleanest and healthiest food to the customers.”“So, this Rick guy wants to destroy both the restaurant and the storage facility at a time, huh,” Ulmer said.“Yeah, this place has become popular because of the restaurant,” Nelson said. “He wants to use that to his advantage.”“Though this area is not near the center of the city, it’s still going to value a lot,” Ulmer opined. “I’m not surprised that other p

Ulmer also heard what the mayor said on the mobile, even though it wasn’t put on speaker.After the call ended, Nelson looked very nervous. “They didn’t even send us court notices. So, how can the government send officers to demolish this place?”“You said your granddaughter does blogging, right?” Ulmer said. “Why don’t you make her do a livestream and tell everyone what’s going on? If the stream goes viral, then you might be able to stop them.”Nelson’s eyes slightly widened. “I don’t think it’ll be of much help, but I’ll still do it.” He quickly went over to Nancy and talked to her.“More than 200 police huh…” Ulmer looked into the distance. “To move so many officers… the guy behind this is clearly powerful. A simple live stream might not help.” He then asked the restaurant manager for his mobile and then dialed a particular number. “Hello, is this Ririka?”“Yes, who is this?” Ririka Drevon, the heir of the Drevon Bank asked.“I’m Ulmer,” he replied. “Do you remember me?”“Ulmer?” s

Nancy called everyone she knew to come and support her and save her business. Most of those she called were in the same city, so it wouldn’t have been difficult for them to hurry over.However, time passed, but only a few people showed up. What was shocking was that even the business partners didn’t show up, which made Nancy wonder if they all took bribes from Rick Orsini.At around three in the afternoon.Police vans and more than a dozen SUVs stopped in the neighborhood, but by then, Nelson and Nancy had made their men surround the building and resist anybody that would come to harm the property.Ulmer was also standing next to Nelson. (Did she fail to stop them?) He frowned. (Do I have to fight them now?) He couldn’t help but feel anxious because fighting the police would cause a major incident, and he might even be branded as a criminal.A government official led some of the police and came to Nelson. “You should move away from here, Mr. Nelson, and let us do our job.”“Job?” Nels

Ulmer was returning home in the same taxi, driven by a guy named Roger.“You waited for so long. I wasn’t expecting you to do that,” Ulmer said.Roger casually smiled. “It’s my job, sir.”“Not everyone has such patience, though,” Ulmer opined.“To be frank, I wouldn’t have waited for as long as I did if you hadn’t given me the hundred dollars,” Roger responded. “So, I’ve decided to wait for you until it gets dark.”“It’s good that you stick to your principles,” Ulmer said. “I admire those who do things their way even when things aren’t going their way. It builds character, and I can see that in you.”“You are praising me too much, sir.”“Not at all,” Ulmer calmly stated. “You said you got married, right? I’m also married, so I can somewhat understand what you’re going through. You have to drive for hours every day and possibly even at night to put food on the table. That’s commendable. Your wife is lucky to have a hardworking person like you as her husband.”Roger felt humbled by his

Roger’s taxi stopped right in front of Jamie’s house.Ulmer took out twenty notes and gave them to Roger, surprising him very much.“S-Sir, I can’t take this,” Roger quickly said and tried to give the money back.“Your window is broken because of me, so this much is nothing,” Ulmer pushed Roger’s hand. “Also…” He put some fruits and veggies in the front seat. “Take them home.”Roger pursed his lips. “Thank you so much. I’m afraid thanks is all I can give you in return right now, but if you need a taxi anytime, just give me a call. No matter the hour, I’ll give you a ride.” He began to utter his number.“I don’t have a mobile,” Ulmer replied.Roger then wrote his number on a paper and gave it to him.Ulmer took it and briefly looked at Roger. “In the future, my name will be known around the country. I will live in a nice house, and I will have some workers under me for convenience. I will also need a driver to take me and my family around the city, so if you are still in the same field
The Rise of the Urban God CHAPTER 231
Ulmer could have gone easy on Ben and even let him win for the sake of keeping his face intact in front of Amelie.However, the overconfident words that Ben uttered by saying ‘it’s my victory’ made Ulmer act almost instinctively. He ended up utterly smacking Ben’s hand to the table in no time.Silence filled the whole hall. Nobody spoke a word for a few seconds. Ivy was left in disbelief, and Amelie was also quite astonished by the result.Even Ulmer was not expecting to do what he had done. He was planning on dragging the fight at least for half a minute or so, but then Ben’s words triggered him into reacting before he knew it.“I-I’m sorry,” Ulmer said.Ben’s face turned a bit ugly in response.“Haha,” Calvin laughed out loud. “Why are you apologizing for winning?”“Quite an interesting fellow he is,” Fiona chortled. “And he’s quite strong, too.”“You don’t have to feel bad for losing, Ben,” Amelie told him in front of everyone. “There’s always someone better than us in any field.”
The Rise of the Urban God CHAPTER 232
Ivy didn’t like that her son lost the third round. She didn’t want Ulmer to enjoy the sense of victory.“You cheated, didn’t you, Ulmer?” Ivy barked. “Tell us, what trick did you pull?”“I ate a couple of bananas on my way here,” Ulmer replied. “Maybe those bananas did the trick?”A second of silence passed, but then Calvin and Fiona burst into laughter. “What a good sense of humor you’ve got, young man!” Calvin patted Ulmer’s back.After Calvin said those words, Ivy couldn’t continue questioning Ulmer. Unable to stay there anymore, she quickly left to her room.“That was a close fight,” Amelie clapped for both Ben and Ulmer, trying to ease the atmosphere. It worked as Ruth joined her.Calvin and Fiona also clapped and appreciated not just Ulmer but also Ben just as much, which made Ben feel good.Fiona suddenly clutched her stomach and cringed in pain. She was about to fall, so she put her hand on Calvin’s shoulder and took support from him.“F-Fiona,” Calvin quickly made her sit on
