The Mayor was in the midst of a meeting, and as his grip on the city tightened, capitalists who had been driven out by local powers, as well as those from the Capital and other places, began to converge once more.
If they could completely uproot the local stubborn forces, not only could they obtain a portion of the revenue from the Golden Port Pier, but they could also tap into the future profits from the New Port Pier.
Capital always chases profit, and even if there were risks, as long as the profit was substantial enough, they were willing to take the chance!
Even if there was only a one percent chance of success!
His personal secretary interrupted his meeting, whispering in his ear, "John is dead, his partner too, and some others."
The Mayor was slightly taken aback; he turned to look at his secretary, the disbelief and mistrust in his eyes suggesting he thought it might be a joke.
