The Guardian's Return by Old Pumpkin

Chapter 113

The mayor led Stephen to the car and headed to the first shelter.

In the car, the mayor asked quietly, "How much money and supplies did you bring this time?"

Stephen smiled. "10 million, and some canned food, tents, and so on."

The mayor instantly fell silent.

Only 10 million and stuff like canned food and tents? If those supplies were from someone else, the people would be grateful and appreciative. However, they were from Stephen! Whose was responsible for the downfall of Seaside City? It was Stephen! Seaside City would not be in this situation if he had not arrested Howard. His reckless move had caused Seaside City's GDP to plummet by 1.2 trillion.

With the city crippled, stabilizing it and restoring its infrastructure would cost billions, but he only brought 10 billion. It was the same as injuring someone and only handing over a dollar when the treatment could cost tens of thousands. What was worse was that Stephen's family was rich, and Stephen himself held a high position.
