Chapter 530 Now that he was strapped for cash, he could use those factories to his advantage. Once Hill City's economy improved, he could eliminate these factories. There were no problems with the process, and it would only benefit him.
At that thought, Stephen immediately sprang into action, successfully gaining over 10 billion dollars from the factories.
After getting the money, Stephen could finally fulfill his promises to increase the welfare in Hill City and set up a subsidy program. Although the welfare improvements were not substantial and did not cover the entire Riveria, Stephen felt that others could not simply criticize him as he had taken action.

Stephen gave the reporters a call. Having done so many good deeds, he had to spread his name! With the news report and videos posted, Stephen's nonce again went viral online. Everyone knew he had really improved Hill City's welfare and started a subsidy program, helping the people in need to survive their crisis.
Not only that, but Stephen also clarified the root cause of Hill City's recent chaos.
It was his assistant, Charles, who had succumbed to greed and accepted briberies to turn a blind eye to the influx of illegal immigrants.
It was due to the illegal immigrants bearing weapons that such situations occurred.
"Speaking objectively, Stephen has really done a great job this time!" "It's not bad. I've changed my views on him." "Stephen is not entirely useless. I can see that he genuinely wants Hill City to be a better place. With such determination, he's sure to succeed." "Whether he's the Grand Marshal's mentee doesn't matter anymore. What's important is that his heart is for the people!" "Riveria's future is bright with him!" "I can't believe how shameless Charles is. He should be executed!" "Yeah, he should be honored to be Stephen's assistant and do a good job, but he beccorrupt instead. How despicable." "He should be executed live!" "Someone like Charles deserves to die!" Seeing the positive shift in public opinion, Stephen could not help smiling. He had also successfully diverted the netizen's hatred. Now, the people obviously hated Charles more, not him.
His anxious heart could finally relax. "I can finally have a good night's sleep." He had lost track of the last the had slept well. Back when he was still with the Quinns, he could sleep however and whenever he wanted, unlike the torture he was going through now.
After spending half a year in Riveria, he had lost several pounds instead of gaining any. However, Stephen had celebrated too soon.

Following the start of the livestream, thousands of viewers flooded in. Upon seeing that they were interviewing Charles, the viewers erupted with anger. "Why is Charles still alive? Keeping him alive is a waste of space." "It's humiliating that we're living in the sexistence as him."
"Just sentence him to death now.
Bribery, embezzling, and even 9, and even m attempting to kill Stephen with a gun! What's the point of keeping him alive?" "Yeah, I suggest we execute him with Ethan. They're both useless and corrupted trash." The comments were all harsh insults.
"Why did you embezzle and take bribes?" the reporter asked.
All of the questions were prepared by Nolan and crafted to turn the public opinion against Stephen. All his préparations were for that for moment, to make it ime! Stephen to stay in Hill City anymore!
