The Guardian's Sword

Silence...

Still silence...

Dead silence...

Still dead silence...

After five minutes, the guests still could not recover from their shock. These
compensations and preferential treatment were too generous!

It was so generous that it was unbelievable!

The businessmen with factories or companies in the slum had worried that their
businesses would suffer great losses in the slum's governance. However, they
were not scared now!

If the purification facilities and pollution drains were not up to standard, they
could purchase the purification and sewage facilities at a minimum cost with the
help of the Dorodo government.

Although improving employee welfare and basic treatment would bring financial
damage to their factories or companies, the Dorodo government would help them
expand to generate revenue and profit. In this way, they could offset the loss
caused by the increase in their employees’ wages and benefits.

They would make more money than ever!

Even those with no businesses in the slum could get preferential treatment and
enjoy some privileges in Dorodo afterward, which was equally good
compensation.

Ronald got the biggest gain of all!

He had been nothing more than a weapons dealer, buying weapons from other
cities, shipping them to Dorodo, and supplying them to Dorodo's city defense
army for a profit. However, Dorodo was going to help Ronald build his own
weapons factory in the slum.

In this way, he would go from being a weapons dealer to a weapons
manufacturer, and he would be the only one of Dorodo's weapons manufacturers
to receive government approval and support.

It was free money, and it was a lot.

Ronald was almost knocked unconscious by so much free money!

"Dad..." Lillian grabbed Ronald's wrist, tears welling in her eyes.

"We made the right choice. I knew we wouldn't suffer if we took Commander
Lennon's side, and it turns out we made a lot of money instead of losing..."
Ronald said excitedly to his daughter.

The people around them cast envious glances at Ronald. However, they could
only envy him. None of them was jealous.

Ronald was the biggest donor besides Sean and Mayor Quentin. He was not the
richest person in the room. His assets could only be ranked in the upper-middle
class. He was no match for the Wosh family and the Montana family.

However, Ronald donated the most!

Therefore, it was only fitting that he should receive the greatest benefit and the
most generous compensation. Even the pickiest person could find nothing wrong
with it!

Moreover, everyone who donated more than one million dollars was
compensated. The difference was how much.

They were all happy and excited!

Only three hearts were full of bitterness.

One was Elijah, one was Cole, and the other one was Dylan!

There were so many guests at the fundraising gala tonight, but only three of them
donated less than one million dollars. Thus, the compensation Sean had just
offered was not for the three of them!

Besides, not only were they not included, their factories in the slum were going to
be closed for rectification. They might not be able to have them up and running
again!
