The Guardian's Sword

Although other people with businesses had to shut down as per the slum's
governance, they had the Dorodo government supporting and subsidizing them.
Everyone knew this supports and subsidies were important for their business.
Elijah, Cole, and Dylan had no compensation or subsidies for their businesses!
They could only suffer for no thing and endure it!

Everyone realized something. They turned to look at Elijah, Cole, and Dylan.
These three were smug and arrogant, making fun of Sean by donating 100
dollars in front of them.

Everyone thought it was strange that Sean did not lose his temper. However,
everyone now realized why. It was because Sean did not need to lose his
temper!

Elijah, Cole, and Dylan contributed only 100 dollars, far below the one million
dollar mark, so they were ineligible for the generous compensation and
subsidies!

The three of them dug their own graves and brought it upon themselves!

"If you have any questions about what I said about compensation and privileges
for guests who donated more than one million dollars, you can ask Mayor
Quentin later. He will explain... That's the end of the fundraising..."

Elijah interrupted Sean before he could finish speaking.

Elijah raised his hand in embarrassment and asked hesitantly, "Well... Well...
Commander Lennon... I'd like to donate... I'd like to donate more!"

Not only Elijah, but Cole and Dylan also nodded and looked at Sean in
embarrassment. No doubt they both regretted it as much as Elijah did.

Hearing Elijah's words and seeing how awkward Cole and Dylan looked, the
guests instantly burst into laughter.

Everyone teared up out of laughter, and their bellies also ached.

The heads of the top three families were now acting like children. They regretted
it because of the generous rewards and compensation. They even wanted to
donate a little more to make up for their mistakes.

Was there anything funnier than this?

One guest could not help but point his finger at Elijah and laughed as he said,
"Mr. Walker, you're the head of an influential family. Can you not be so
ridiculous?"

"Yeah, don't you think it's ridiculous that you didn't donate and wanted to donate
a little more because you regretted it?"

"Mr. Walker, Mr. Stewart, and Mr. Lambert, you're only sorry now? It's too late!"
"How funny! Hahahaha..."

Elijah’s face turned pale and red as they laughed. His expression was ghastly.
Cole and Dylan were so embarrassed that their bodies began to shake, and they
wanted to find a hole in the ground and dive in without ever coming out.

Sean said flatly on the stage as he held the microphone, "Sorry, Mr. Walker, Mr.
Stewart, and Mr. Lambert. The fundraising gala has ended. You have to wait until
next time if you want to donate..."

As soon as Sean finished speaking, the laughter at the gala grew louder.

Elijah snorted angrily and turned away.

Too embarrassed to stay longer, Cole and Dylan hurriedly followed Elijah out of
the gala and left the city's defense army's main camp.
