Tyler said, “With our family’s wealth, we must start from Hill City to make a comeback.” 

Edward answered, “I know. I’ve been thinking about how we can get more benefits from Hill City.” 

He then texted Nolan, asking for a list of recent happenings in the city. 

When they returned to Breeze City, they got an update from Nolan, and Edward went through everything Stephen had done recently. 

“Subsidies were distributed in layers. By the time they reached the villagers, there wasn’t much left. We might be able to use this to our advantage. 

“He also subcontracted the mining rights of the quarry to the South Regent. We can’t let him get away with this too easily.” 

“Then, there’s the fundraiser. There’s a lot of room for us to work with.” 

In just a few minutes, Edward came up with a plan. 

“We’ll start with the South Regent first.” 

He planned to sabotage the quarry as it would not only hurt the South Regent’s profits but also create enough distraction for Edward to move in and implement his next steps. 

He contacted Nolan, instructing him to look for people dissatisfied with the compensation amount and instigate them to destroy the quarry 

Several people immediately agreed. They had just seen their fruit orchards about to yield a great harvest when the people from Stone Village ruined them. In return, they only got a mere 10 thousand in compensation, which infuriated them. Now that they had a chance to sabotage the quarry and earn a hefty sum, there was no reason for them to refuse. 

A day later, a huge explosion went off at the quarry in Stone Village. The mountains trembled, and the mines collapsed. Reports said that a dozen miners were trapped in the mines, their fates uncertain. 

When Nolan found out about the incident, he contacted Stephen immediately. 

“What? The mines collapsed? What happened?” 

Stephen rushed to the scene. With so many people trapped inside, it was a serious situation. 

It was just yesterday that he was celebrating things getting better, but now, disaster had 

struck Stephen’s face darkened with fury. 

He stormed over to the manager in charge of the mines, furious. 

“What the hell are you doing? Isn’t it your job to prevent stuff like this from happening?”

The manager said, “We are still investigating. We have a reason to believe it was sabotage.” 

Stephen said coldly, “I don’t care if it’s sabotage. If the miners die, you will have to take responsibility! I can take back the mining rights! Don’t just stand there! Do something. Save the miners!” 

It took the workers half a day to clear the ruins, but the miners trapped inside were in critical condition. They were alive, but all of them had fallen into a coma, and the doctor said the odds of the miners waking up were slim. 

Both the manager and Stephen were nervous. If the miners regained consciousness, they might be able to find out what happened. 

While waiting for the victims to wake up, the other miners started to strike. They wanted a raise, or they would stop working.
