NovelsFreeChapter 47 Since the mayor of North Hill City was from the town of Lytton, the townspeople could do whatever they wanted without any scruples.
Many illegal businesses had sprung out from the dark corners in less than a week. Ssmall companies were even raided by thugs who destroyed their officers and stores.
Eric and his men arrived and arrested sof the thugs, but in less than a day, the arrested thugs would appear somewhere else, raiding and destroying other people's properties.
In addition to the casinos and moneylenders, the whole city plunged into chaos. While more than a dozen small companies were forced to close down, the medium-sized companies decided to leave North Hill City overnight. Sof the investors wanted out as well.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAll the chaos happened because of Lytton's operating casinos, moneylenders, and even smugglers, forcing sother companies to join their illegal businesses.
If the other companies refused, the thugs would destroy their officers and properties. There was no point calling the police either because Eric, the police commander, and Shawn, the mayor, were in it together.
At first, Eric and Shawn were rather hesitant to go on a rampage, but as Brandon paid them more, they decided to turn a blind eye to the chaos. On top of that, the town of Lytton extended its reach to other factions, helping them run casinos and clubs.
When Stephen learned what had happened to the city, he was shocked.
"How is this possible? How could a city with Eric policing and Shawn governing spiral out of control like this? Is this made up?" he snapped, unwilling to believe what he was hearing.
The cancer of the city, Ethan Rivers, had been removed, and his men were also fired. Since the city had been cleansed of its poison, the danger was supposed to be over. Especially with Eric and Shawn still in power, North Hill City should be thriving! Stephen decided to investigate the situation for himself, and it frightened the soul out of him to see businesses going bankrupt and investors leaving the market, • A city without investors meant no businesses operating, and no businesses meant no jobs for the people, resulting in them ending up on the streets.
As the number of jobless people increased, public security would be affected, and people would start to leave the city. Without them, the economy would plummet.
If the situation continued, the city would be in shambles in no time, and as part of Riveria, their GDP plummeting would be a massive blow to the entire province. How would Stephen explain it to the federal government then? He was sweating nervously. At that moment, he suddenly recalled what the former lieutenant governor and others had said when they resigned.
"Riveria can be without Ethan Rivers, but Rivera cannot be without Ethan Rivers. Without him, Riveria would be over." Immediately, Stephen bought a flight ticket to North Hill City. He could not afford for the city to be in ruins because it would severely affect his future, and he could not waste another second.
As he had informed Shawn of his visit, Shawn was there to pick him up when he arrived.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe moment he got into the car, he asked Shawn, "Fillin on the situation in the city. How did things get so bad?".
Shawn had talked to Brandon and the townspeople of Lytton to cup with the perfect excuse.
"Based on my investigation, the men causing chaos in the city used to be Ethan Rivers' men. Now that Ethan Rivers is lacked up, they have lost E.I their protection, so they're making one last desperate grab for power, trying to drag the city down with them." Stephen immediately believed it when he heard Ethan was involved.
"Ethan Rivers!" He took a deep breath before saying, "Writea detailed report. I need to hand it to the federal office."
That might be a good chance to crush Ethan once and for all. If m anyone was to blfor the chaos, it was Ethan, not him. It was all Ethan Rivers' fault. Shawn continued, "We have started rounding up those involved, and as we arrest more people by the day, the city is getting more stable.
"I'm also doing everything I can to keep the investors. I'm confident most of them will stay."
"Sometimes, you need to break things down before you can rebuild. I believe after this incident, North City will rise stronger than ever." Today's Bonus Offer mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
