The Guardian's Return (Ethan Rivers) novel Chapter 530

Now that he was strapped for cash, he could use those factories to his advantage. Once Hill City’s economy improved, he could eliminate these factories. There were no problems with the process, and it would only benefit him.

At that thought, Stephen immediately sprang into action, successfully gaining over 10 billion dollars from the factories.

After getting the money, Stephen could finally fulfill his promises to increase the welfare in Hill City and set up a subsidy program. Although the welfare improvements were not substantial and did not cover the entire Riveria, Stephen felt that others could not simply criticize him as he had taken action.

Two days later, thanks to Simon’s efforts, the federal government gave Stephen another five billion dollars, enabling him to expand his subsidy program further.

Stephen gave the reporters a call. Having done so many good deeds, he had to spread his name!

With the news report and videos posted, Stephen’s name once again went viral online. Everyone knew he had really improved Hill City’s welfare and started a subsidy program, helping the people in need to survive their crisis.

Not only that, but Stephen also clarified the root cause of Hill City’s recent chaos. It was his assistant, Charles, who had succumbed to greed and accepted briberies to turn a blind eye to the influx of illegal immigrants.

It was due to the illegal immigrants bearing weapons that such situations occurred.

“Speaking objectively, Stephen has really done a great job this time!”

“It’s not bad. I’ve changed my views on him.”

“Stephen is not entirely useless. I can see that he genuinely wants Hill City to be a better place. With such determination, he’s sure to succeed.”

“Whether he’s the Grand Marshal’s mentee doesn’t matter anymore. What’s important is that his heart is for the people!”

“Riveria’s future is bright with him!”

“I can’t believe how shameless Charles is. He should be executed!”

“Yeah, he should be honored to be Stephen’s assistant and do a good job, but he became corrupt instead. How despicable.”
