Chapter 163: Chapter 162: The Retribution of the Families

The sudden surge in population was naturally all benefit and no harm to the development of Thunderhawk City, but it also brought tremendous financial pressure to the city's finances.

This pressure made Rocky feel as if he was back to six months ago, when he spent every day worrying about money, and now was the same.

"Aileen, can we take out fifty thousand gold coins from the treasury?"

After the routine affairs had ended and everyone else had left, Rocky kept Aileen behind and then asked,

"Fifty thousand gold coins? Sir, are you joking!?"

But hearing Rocky's words, Aileen's eyes widened in disbelief. She had just finished saying the treasury was out of money; how could Rocky still be asking her for money?

"I need money for warship repairs."
