Protection contracts
From HellWiki
Protection contracts are contracts given to you by store owners. You have to rough them up, and hopefully not kill them, till they beg you for mercy. If you spare them, they will hand you a contract for their store. You will get a cut of everything they sell, automatically deposited to your corporate account. When you have a contract, other people can attack the same store owner and sign the contract, stealing it from you. Every time this happens, the contract is worth more money, and lasts a little longer. The more traffic a store gets, the better of a contract it is.
