I'm Really Not the Demon God's Lackey Chapter 32: Arm Wrestle

As per usual, Lin Jie proficiently unlatched the bolt and opened the door to his bookstore.

The rain outside hadn’t shown any signs of letting up, and it was as if the heavens above had forgotten to turn the faucet off.

The water level on the flooded roads seemed to have gone down slightly today; according to news reports, it was probably due to the underground sewage system operating at its highest efficiency .

However, the thing that surprised everyone was the several heavy vehicles passing by the usually empty street.

Headlamps shone through the curtain of rain and lit up the street for brief moments. Occasionally, curious faces would peek out from shops and residences on both sides of the street before once again shutting their doors or windows to prevent the rain from entering.

There also seemed to be heavy machineries used for construction such as bulldozers and excavators on these trucks.

How strange. Could it be another trip? Or has the next-door boss fallen ill all of a sudden? Lin Jie couldn’t help worrying.

Although this neighbor had some shortcomings, he was just a regular citizen and couldn’t be judged as a bad person.

Already used to listening to news in this way
