## Overview

Pierce phones Playa and briefs them on Chinatown, the district that "loves to pay out". While they aren't exactly tacticians, Pierce commends The Brotherhood for extorting Chinatown, and recommends Playa go there, remove The Brotherhood, and set up some protection rackets for the 3rd Street Saints.

### Story

Upon completion of the Stronghold, this description is available at Newspaper Clipboards.

The victims of the latest struggle between the Brotherhood and the Saints were the shop owners of Chinatown. Not satisfied with killing each other, the two gangs took to the street, muscling business owners who can barly[sic]  afford rent, let along protection money.
## Gameplay

Destroy the items in front of the stores to get the shop owners to come out.
In this stronghold mission, the main goal is to rough up some business owners in Chinatown to make them pay protection money to the 3rd Street Saints instead of The Brotherhood.

Cause mayhem within the store radius
Go to each of the marked locations to scare the owners. Each location is a business with some outside property; scare the business owners by destroying or damaging the tables, chairs, fences, etc. within the circle of influence of the business. Most weapons can be used to accomplish this, but explosives such as Grenades and RPG Launchers are the most effective.

When destroying property, The Brotherhood Notoriety increases and gang members periodically show up to harass Playa.

Shake down the shop owner, but don't kill them!
Once the meter is close to full for each location, the business owner comes outside. Use melee attacks to beat the owners and shake them up, but take care to keep them alive; if they die, the Stronghold is failed.

You scared the shop owner, move on to the next store
These objectives repeat until a total of 4 store owners are scared.

Get to the Pagoda Hotel
Once all four business locations have been shaken-up, drive to the hotel, fight their way past The Brotherhood gang members to get to the hotel manager, and damage him until he relents.

Beat up the **hotel owner**
The game says not to kill him, but he can be killed without penalty - and as he is armed, this is the easier option. Regardless of whether he is injured or kill him, the Stronghold completes successfully.
