Summon of The Sword novel Chapter 1796

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 it!"

'The slum is complicated?

'Can't handle it?'

Lillian looked increasingly puzzled.

'Is the life of the poor in the slum so difficult not only because of economic reasons but also other factors?'

Lillian immediately asked what was confusing her.

"So Commander Lennon's ideas and actions are arguably damaging to the top five families' interests. It's equivalent to cutting out a piece of the top five families' cake, and a big one at that!

"I'd be surprised if the top five families could accept it!"

Ronald felt a little tired after such a long speech.

Lillian immediately poured her father a cup of hot water and handed it to him.

After taking a sip of water, Ronald continued saying, "Dorodo developed quickly, but because of the rapid development, the economy is deformed. More than 50% of Dorodo's wealth is concentrated in wealthy families and businessmen. Improving the lives of the poor and ordinary folks is to go against these rich businessmen and influential families. Of course, the Townsend family is also wealthy."

Ronald said sarcastically.
