Patrick Reid nodded.
He stood at the very center of the clinic's steps.
Took a deep breath.
And said loudly, "My name is Patrick Reid, from Pinegrove Village in Sunglow Town. All the folks present should know me. Four years ago, I was the planner and participant of that armed conflict between the two villages..."
As Patrick Reid recounted the events.
The truth of that conflict from four years ago finally came to light.
The entire story starts with a village revitalization fund allocated back then.
Four years ago, the province made significant adjustments to its rural revitalization strategy.
At the time, Stillwater County received a fund totaling 6.5 million.
After discussions, the county decided to allocate this money to Sunglow Town for infrastructure improvements, including the road from the county seat to Sunglow Town.
Once the money was received.
Tristan Reid had no intention of using it for road construction.
He wanted to pocket it himself.
