The route they were planning to take was different from that of Shawn and Brandon.
People like Shawn wanted to flee because they had committed a crime. If they did not run, bullets would be waiting for them.
Oliver, on the other hand, was doing legitimate business. The labor force there was cheap, and the location was close to the borders, so there was a market for the products. How could they possibly let go of a primary location like Aqua City?
As for what would become of the environment in Aqua City, that was not their concern at all. Besides, if the environment deteriorates, it would be harder to farm fish, and the people could only choose to work in factories instead, which would only benefit them!
Simon suddenly lifted his head and looked at those people in shock. He understood now that they were wrong about them from the start.
He thought Oliver and his group would leave after making some money. However, it seemed they planned to settle there and continue destroying Aqua City’s environment while using the cheap labor force and the high product demand from the borders to make a fortune!
He should not have let them in. It was a mistake!
Oliver smiled. “If there are no other problems, can we head back to work now?”
Simon gritted his teeth and said, “Get out of here.”
The businessmen roared with laughter and left.
Simon watched as they left, a grim expression on his face. Even if he wanted to get rid of them, he did not have enough power now. The problems in Aqua City were not yet fully resolved!
By 8 p.m., the announcement regarding the sports games was released.
“Due to the situation in Aqua City, the sports game, originally to be hosted in Aqua City, is now canceled…”
When Stephen heard that the sports game was canceled and would be held in another city, his body shook. He had spent too much time and money preparing for the sports game, throwing in billions, only for it to be halted after merely half a day and now, canceled.
All of his hard work was for naught! Not only did they not earn profit, but they had to pay
out even more.
Stephen slumped down on his chair helplessly murmuring, “How did it come to this?”
The news of the canceled sports gaine spread quickly, and the athletes did not hesitate to

leave immediately. They were already dissatisfied with Aqua City because of the terrible environment, tasteless food, and expensive accommodation. People were even firing guns in the city!
The tourists started to leave too. Most of them were there for the sports game, so now that it was canceled, they had no reason to stay there anymore. Some had come for the scenery but were greatly disappointed.
The water was murky, full of trash and dead fish, and even poisonous snakes were swimming in it. The agritourism was boring and ridiculously overpriced, and the hotels were daylight robbery. People were afraid they would not have enough money left to cover for the trip home if they stayed any longer!
The most critical issue was safety. After someone brought a gun, security in Aqua City was gone. Compared to potentially losing their lives, running out of money was a minor concern!
Overnight, all the athletes were gone, and almost half the tourists had left. The remaining ones stayed either because they could not get tickets to leave, were stuck in traffic, or had families still being treated in the hospital for food poisoning, making it impossible for them to leave immediately.
By morning, the once–bustling Aqua City was eerily quiet. The tourists on the lively streets were gone, leaving only a mess behind.
Seeing that, Stephen felt oddly confident. Although Aqua City had quieted down, it was much easier to manage, and it would not take long for everything to return to normal.
“Calculate the total losses.”
Soon, the results came in. Aqua City’s GDP of 2.3 trillion lost 20 billion in preparation for the sports game. However, after the sports game kicked off, they had earned 10 billion dollars. Therefore, it seemed they had only lost 10 billion.
Stephen was overjoyed. Although things did not go as expected, fortunately, the situation was not as disastrous as it could have been.
“We didn’t lose money. Everything can still be salvaged!”
