“I believe that as long as we work together, we’ll surely overcome this crisis! Dennis Lewis can’t knock us down, and Howard Green can’t defeat us either. The final victory will be ours…”
After his speech, Stephen raised his fist into the air. Applause roared from both the audience in the livestream and the hall.
The audience cheered for Stephen while many in the hall were moved. Stephen’s words deeply resonated with them; even if they had complaints, they had put them aside. Now, they were filled with hope for the future.
How can there be someone so dedicated in this world? I’m going to cry.”
“I have to say, Stephen is a real man.
“Although Seaside City has encountered some issues, with Stephen around, everything will be resolved.”
“Seaside City will rise again!”
The internet was filled with high praise for Stephen.
By then, the reporters had also approached with their prepared questions.
“The issues in Seaside City aren’t exactly trivial. Do you really have the confidence and
time to restore Seaside City and make it better than it was before?”
Stephen smiled at the camera. “I’ll dedicate my life to Riveria and Seaside City will recover. As long as we work together, it’ll be much better than it was before!”
The people applauded again. Many in the audience were moved to tears.
“To dedicate his life to the people, what an admirable spirit.”
“Stephen has been through so much.”
“I hope the people of Riveria will step up and help. It’s not fair to leave Stephen to shoulder the burden alone.”
Just then, another reporter stepped forward and asked, “You’re willing to stand in the way of danger for the people of Riveria, but why are you going to such lengths?”
Stephen kept his smile, saying, “Do I need a reason? If I must give one, then it’s simple! I want everyone to live a happy life!”
Applause roared again. How great was Stephen to be doing it for everyone’s happiness?
Some in the hall were wiping away tears of joy. They had lived in Riveria for many years. Although they enjoyed three years of peace, no one had ever said something like that to

them. Despite still being hungry, they believed stephen could bring them happiness.
“Howard deserves to die. Get him back here and execute him.”
“After what he did to Stephen, Howard will meet a terrible end.
“Howard and that Ethan guy are both cancers, one to Seaside City and the other to Riveria!”
“That’s right! Howard may have run away, but Ethan is connected to him. Ethan should be captured and executed too.”
“Why’s Ethan still alive at this point?”
Ever since hearing that Howard had fled with money and weapons, the anger turned not only toward Howard but also to Ethan for being associated with him.
Simon, who was watching the livestream, nodded in satisfaction when he saw the scene unfold.
“That’s it. Deceive everyone first, and many will support you later. It doesn’t matter if it’s Ethan or anyone else. No one can take your place in their hearts anymore.”
His lips crept into a smile. The problems in Seaside City were as good as solved.
Meanwhile, many in the hall cheered for Stephen, but only the mayor stood expressionless with a hint of sadness on his face.
He took out a cigarette and lit it as he silently sat on a bench. Others might not know the truth, but he did.
Although Stephen’s promise sounded wonderful, they were just words. The fact that he had only brought 10 billion dollars showed that he had given up on Seaside City. Everything Stephen was doing now was just to prevent criticism when he moved on to manage cities in the future.

“The man responsible for Seaside City’s downfall is now being adored by its people, while the real heroes who saved Seaside City have fled or gone to prison.”
