Chapter 452

Under Nolan's orders, men collecting protection fees began to appear in Hill City. They roamed the streets, demanding money from shopkeepers. They would not say much if the shopkeepers refused, but at night, they would come back to vandalize the stores.

The next day, the shopkeepers almost broke down to see their stores wrecked and the losses they incurred. Even when they reported the incidents, the response was always, 'Just wait'.

Nolan had permitted the incidents, so even if the shopkeepers waited forever, they would never see justice.

That night, the people collecting protection money came again and further vandalized the stores.

When the shopkeepers came back and saw their smashed doors, they burst into tears. This time, most of them obediently paid up when asked for protection fees.

There were some who stubbornly refused, but the thugs had power backing them and could afford to play along with the shopkeepers. What awaited the shopkeepers were only two options: pay, or get out.

Even if they posted about it online, the posts would be quickly deleted, and someone would soon pay them a visit. Those people were all specially trained by Nolan to manage such resistant shopkeepers.
