Dr. Steel had always lived in the capital. Although news about Riveria occasionally appeared online, he rarely
paid any attention.
Now that he was in Hill City, he could see the raging flames from the distant mountaintop from the roof.
"How could a fire break out so suddenly?" Before Dr. Steel could think it through, he saw Austin running back in a
panic.
"Why are you in such a rush?" he frowned and asked.
Austin said nervously, "Something's happened on the next street. There was an armed robbery." He quickly
closed the door to prevent the robbers from coming here and threatening their safety.
"Robbery? And armed?" Dr. Steel was shocked. He found it hard to believe that there were still robbers in the
current day, even daring to bring guns! They had no regard for their life!
Austin was even more worried. "Hill City doesn't feel safe at all." They had encountered the forest fire and armed
robbery just after they arrived.
Was it a coincidence? Or was it simply the state of Hill City?
Dr. Steel comforted him, "Don't worry. We have Stephen here. No matter what, he's the young master of the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtQuinns from the capital, the chosen one. He can handle this."
"I hope so." Although Austin said this, he still felt a little uneasy.
At this moment, Nolan found Stephen. "I suspect the mastermind has started taking action again. Perhaps they
wanted to save the criminals arrested before. | would suggest transferring these people to the prison in the
capital."
Stephen, already overwhelmed with work, nodded in agreement after hearing Nolan's words. "I'll leave this to
you."
Nolan left and started transferring the criminals. After leaving Hill City, the South Regent's men intercepted
them, and they drove over the borders, making it look like the transport vehicle had been hijacked.
The next day, the forest fire was under control, and the armed robbers were caught.
After interrogating them, they found out the robbers were a few gangsters who had stumbled upon two loaded
guns and decided to commit robbery.
Their answer made Stephen slam the table in anger. "How dare you do that?"
The few robbers were defiant. "Why not? Wasn't Hill City like this three years ago? If someone else had picked up
the guns, the sthing might still have happened."
Stephen trembled with anger, but he soon understood that Hill City, or rather, Riveria had achieved peace for too
little time.
The foreign forces had been
watching them, and the people of Riveria only had three years of peace. They had not fully adapted yet, so any
provocation would return them to their former state.
ve
If they wanted to achieve true peace, it would take a long period of stability and depend on the next generation.
If the next generation could grow up in a peaceful environment, Riveria would be able to gain enduring
tranquility.
After realizing this, Stephen sighed. At first, he thought it was easy for Riveria's GDP to exceed 20 trillion within a
year, but now, he knew it was a long and tough journey!
Without a proper plan and sufficient understanding of Riveria, the economy collapsed immediately, and Riveria's
GDP fell from 15 trillion to a single-digit figure.
"Lock them up and proceed with appropriate sentences. At the stime, try rehabilitating them."
Stephen rubbed his temples andmet

to handle?
"Have we determined the root cause of the forest fire?"
His assistant reported, "Yes. It's an act of arson."
Stephen clenched his fists. "Who would dare do this?"
The assistant brought Stephen to meet the culprit, and they saw a trembling old
man.
