The poverty class referred to people living in the west part of the city and barely surviving.It was difficult to jump from one class to a higher one because of the severe stratification. It required not only economic support but also the recognition of the higher class.Thus, the former mayors encountered huge resistance when handling poverty. Almost everyone in the wealthy class and the middle class was opposed to improving the status of the poverty class and making their lives better.It was because the poverty class was equivalent to cheap labor. Improving their quality of life and status would shake the interests of the wealthy class and the middle class—especially the wealthy class.Other than stratification, another factor that prevented poverty from being properly addressed was the economy and productivity at that time.Now, economic and productivity growth seemed to be out of the question.Therefore, they should focus on the wealthy class if they wanted to deal with pov

Just then, Sean's phone on the desk buzzed suddenly.He picked up his phone, looked at it, and smiled."It’s Quentin."Zander said immediately, "Perhaps the mayor wanted to ask you about the slum. Ms. Lewis must have told him what happened today after she got home.""Yeah, that should be it."As soon as Sean got through, Quentin's voice came from the phone."Commander Lennon, I'm sorry for calling you so late," Quentin said apologetically."It’s okay. I haven't gone to bed yet."Sean said calmly.Then Quentin asked about the slum. "Commander Lennon, you're the commander-in-chief of Dorodo's city defense army. You control everything in the city defense army. And I'm the mayor of Dorodo, so the slum's problem is supposed to be under my...""But you didn't, did you?"Sean's remark left Mayor Quentin over the line silent for several seconds.After a while, Mayor Quentin smiled wryly and said, "It seems you care about Dorodo's slum problem, Commander Lennon.""Of course."Sean

It meant Dorodo's city defense army was no longer the same!With control of such a united force, even Mayor Quentin would have to bow before Sean!Of course, Sean had not done anything to embarrass Quentin so far, and the two had always had a good relationship.Though Quentin was unhappy with issues about the slum, he had no choice but to acquiesce."Alright. Since it's your decision, I'm sure you'll manage it well. I want Dorodo to flourish and thrive. Commander Lennon, I don't think you would want to see an economically recessed and impoverished Dorodo.""Of course."Sean nodded.After hanging up, Sean exhaled lightly."Quentin delegated all authority in dealing with the slum to me."Zander did not look surprised at Sean's words.It was because Sean had always been that way since a long time ago.If he entered a regiment, he would be its backbone.If he joined a force, he would be its ruler.If he formed a consortium, he would be its head.It had never changed since Zan

He quickly put on his glasses and carefully read the article that had taken up the whole page of the newspaper."Commander Lennon has taken over the slum's governance? Is this a joke?"Seeing her father's reaction, Lillian vaguely knew something was wrong.The slum's issues had plagued Dorodo for so long that the slum on the west was Dorodo's cancer. Several previous mayors had tried addressing it but failed.It was a good thing that Commander Lennon had now personally gotten involved in the slum's governance!However, why did her father's expression look so ghastly?"Dad, is there something wrong with this?"Lillian pondered before asking tentatively.Ronald put down the newspaper, took a long breath, and said, "Of course. Commander Lennon wants to fight poverty and make life better for the poor in the west. There's nothing wrong with that. He's a good and kind man to have such ideas. But the problem is that the slum is so complicated that I'm afraid he won't be able to handle

Suddenly seeing that his daughter's expression was not quite right, he quickly added, "Of course, I agree with Commander Lennon. How could I be a Dorodo resident and not care about Dorodo's development? No matter what Commander Lennon decides, I'm firmly on his side!"Lillian's face instantly lit up after hearing Ronald say this.She was afraid that her father would also stand against Commander Lennon. In that case, she would be caught in the middle and not know what to do."Dad, I didn't know you were this open-minded."Lillian praised."Not really..."Ronald smiled bitterly. "The Townsend family is only wealthy but not influential. We have money, but we're not powerful. Those noble families can fight against Commander Lennon, but we can't. If Commander Lennon is upset, he could destroy the Townsend family with one word... I've said too much. I shouldn't have told you this."Ronald emptied his cup of water and stood up."Lill, let's go to the army camp. It's been a long time s

Dorodo's east suburban villa area.The villa area was a famous wealthy suburb in Dorodo. People who could afford a villa there were either Dorodo's famous wealthy businessmen or a noble.Three middle-aged men sat on leather couches in the living room of a luxury villa near the center of the villa area.One of them was a man with a stubbly square-shaped face—whose appearance would have given anyone the impression that he was a man of integrity.This man was Elijah, the patriarch of the Walker family.Though the second man was middle-aged, he was fashionably dressed. He wore a loose floral shirt and light green shorts, making him look carefree.This man was Cole, the patriarch of the Stewart family.The third man looked ordinary. Nothing seemed special about him, but his sharp gaze and slight authority showed he was extraordinary.He was Dylan, the patriarch of the Lambert family—one of Dorodo's top five families.Other than the patriarch of the Wosh family, Benedict, and the he

"What's the point of you lashing out at us?"Elijah spread out his hands in a gesture of frustration.Dylan coughed and continued saying, "Whatever Sean does, at least we can't disagree openly. After all, he's the commander-in-chief of the city defense army. He is way above us in rank and status. And he has Dragon Kingdom's military supporting him. How are we going to fight him? We only have to be uncooperative, passive, and unhelpful. Poverty is a chronic problem. Even if he wants to solve it, he can't."After a pause, Dylan said, "Every city in the City-State Union is the same. Is there a city that doesn't have poor people? If Sean can fix poverty, I'll write my name backward!""You're being dramatic, Old Lambert."Elijah was as cordial as ever.Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door.Elijah looked at the door and said, "Come in."With that said, a young man pushed the door open and entered.The young man was Elijah's son, Lionel Walker.Lionel walked in and placed

Elijah said with a chuckle, "We'll donate then. Why not? I can afford a donation... Be generous and give him 100 dollars."'100 dollars?'Elijah, Cole, and Dylan were members of Dorodo's noble families.The top three families had tens of billions of dollars in assets each but donated only 100 dollars. It was obviously ironic!"That's a good idea! Haha, I love it! I can't wait to see the expression on Sean's face when he finds out all three of us only donated 100 dollars."Cole burst out laughing with a look of satisfaction on his face.Dylan also smirked.Elijah turned to look at his son Lionel and said, "Did you hear that? You're going to the fundraising gala with Uncle Cole and Uncle Dylan's son, and you only need to donate 100 dollars.""I got it, Dad!"Lionel nodded vigorously, a smug look on his face.......Two days passed quickly.As night drew closer, lights lit up in front of Dorodo's city defense army's main camp.The lights were not neon, nor were they especia
