Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 1146: The quadruplets... would I get four at once?

Unlike what Mint suspected, it was not Slater who had been snooping around the town. Slater had nothing to do with it. He had no idea what was going on in the town and even if he did, he didn't care.

The one who had been snooping around the syndicate's territory was Benjamin.

It all started on the second day when Benjamin visited an old aunt's house. It had been years since Mint and Benjamin were in town, so it was only natural for Benjamin to visit some familiar people from their childhood.

That was how Benjamin found out about the town's situation. Although the old aunt had warned him, Benjamin still did his own little investigation. It wasn't like Benjamin was planning to do something big-at least, he didn't plan on doing anything during the vacation. He knew he couldn't do anything since he wasn't in a position to make a difference.

Who would have thought that the townspeople he asked about the situation would end up ratting him out?

"This is your town..." Benjamin hissed through gritted teeth. "You have friends here. People you grew up with. How could you... do this to everyone?"

This was Mint's hometown; the place where Mint's mother rested.

How could this guy... do this to the place he was born and raised?

Not only had this man built his criminal base here, but he was also exploiting the townspeople.

"How could I do this to everyone?" the man laughed menacingly, no trace of remorse in his eyes. "They deserved it."

"What?"

"Everyone on this island... they deserve whatever's happening to them," the man stressed. "It's true that this is the island I was born and raised on. So what? They should be grateful, actually. I'm giving them enough protection for a small price."

"They're barely making a living!"
