The Guardian's Return by Old Pumpkin

Chapter 76

On his way home, Stephen was struck by a thought.

Ethan talked about raising North Hill City's GDP to a trillion dollars in six months. However, he did not mention the GDP before the increase. What if it was 999 billion dollars?

Back at home, Stephen shared his doubts with George.

"What was North Hill City's GDP when Ethan took over? I have no idea. Look into it."

Stephen tasked his team to dig up records. He was curious about Ethan's contribution to the city's GDP.

The information soon came along, and Stephen opened the file, stunned.

"What was the GDP?"

Curious, George looked over and also found himself taken aback. They both froze in a shell-shocked position for three whole minutes.

It was 30 million dollars. North Hill City's GDP was worth 30 million dollars when Ethan started running Riveria.

The number filled Stephen with dread. If Ethan raised North Hill City's GDP from 30 million dollars to one trillion dollars in just six months, it meant North Hill City progressed without issues until the incident with Shawn.
