The Guardian's Return by Old Pumpkin

Chapter 74

Danny took a page out of Brandon's playbook in making money, even taking things one step further.

He could profit from factories expanding to North Hill City by inflating the numbers for the relocation of factories. For example, he could claim a relocation grant of 10 million dollars and pocket the remaining nine million after moving one factory.

He could also make money smuggling people in. Since business owners favored foreign workers due to their ultra-low wages, the locals would find fewer job opportunities.

Then, considering many wished to leave North Hill City to find opportunities elsewhere, Danny could help them get out of the country for a fee.

His plan allowed him to reap financial rewards from four separate sources, and his money pot would only grow. Alongside the money from selling properties, he earned two billion dollars in just a few days.

The downside would be the growing influx of foreign workers and a drop in the local population. Due to the foreign worker's limited access to education, they often wandered the streets and contributed to North Hill City's deteriorating public safety.

When push came to shove, Danny would take off with his family and flee abroad, just like Shawn and his pals.

That morning, Stephen read an update on North Hill City from Danny. Everything seemed to be in order. Danny even mentioned a supposed disruption to North Hill City's economy in the report, urging Stephen not to take the rumor seriously as the matter was being
