The Guardian's Return Chapter 159
He was simply taking advantage of the approval Stephen provided to exploit workers, discharge pollutants, and significantly raise product prices, while preparing to push out competing companies in the future.Even if Stephen objected, he would get fined at most.However, his factories would still remain, running day and night, constantly polluting the environment of Aqua City and damaging the local industry chain...Everything he did was completely legal!Stephen fell into thought.‘He has over a dozen factories in the country, each worth over a hundred million. It’s true that running away is not an option. Besides, I’ve sent people to keep an eye on him, so he can’t escape anyway.‘That means he’s telling the truth. He can’t become the next Brandon or Howard. Did Snow lie to me?’At that moment, Oliver asked, “Why do you suddenly suspect me? Did Snow say something? Alas, I didn’t expect that she would still try to deceive you at this point. It’s my fault for not educating her w

He turned away with a huff.After he left, Snow finally raised her head, her face streaked with tears.Stephen walked out of the gate, and the cold breeze calmed him down a little. “Was I too impulsive just now? Maybe I should’ve let her explain herself.”Should he go back and see her?Suddenly, his phone rang. He took out his phone and saw that it was from the mayor of Aqua City.“Come back quickly. There’s been an emergency!”Stephen’s heart trembled. There was a problem in Aqua City.“What happened?”The mayor hurriedly said, “Tons of dead fish have turned up in the river.”“I’ll be right there!”Nearly half of Aqua City’s GDP came from its aquatic products, so this was no small matter.He glanced back at the station. What should he do about Snow?“Forget it. I’ll come back again.”It would be too humiliating to go back right now.Besides, Snow was locked up and could not go anywhere. In comparison, the issue in Aqua City could not wait!At that point, Stephen did not

Liam stared at the box, thinking about Snow's current suicidal state, and found himself at a loss for words."I have one more request," Ethan said."What is it?" Liam asked, puzzled."After the autopsy, I’d like you to transport the body to a spot I have in mind.” Ethan glanced at the box before explaining, "Earlier, she asked me to send her body back to her hometown. Also, this vial of medicine is quite expensive."Liam reflexively asked, "How expensive?""Five million dollars.""Five million!" Liam was startled.Was this even medicine? What kind of medicine was worth five million dollars? It was more valuable than gold!"I understand. I'll make sure to send her there when the time comes," Liam said.Liam took the box and left Drakthorn Ridge.At the hospital, he looked at Snow sitting on the bed with a lifeless expression and said, "I just visited Mr. Rivers.""He gave you a vial of medicine.""Once you drink it, you will go painlessly."Snow took the box and opened it.

"The hometown you wished to return to," Ethan's voice sounded nearby.Snow quickly looked up. Seeing Ethan standing next to her, she was stunned. "What's going on? I clearly remember drinking the medicine. Didn’t I die?"Ethan nodded. "You did indeed die."Snow understood. "So, you saved me.""But..." she lowered her head, speaking softly, "I don’t deserve your help.”She had already made up her mind to die. Even though she had died once and was now brought back to life, her thoughts had not changed.Ethan removed the silver needles. "Well, someone thought you were worth it.""Who?""Nina Summers."Snow's eyes suddenly widened. "My senior? Is she safe too?"Snow quickly looked around. They were in the middle of nowhere, and a young woman stood next to Ethan.However, she was not Nina. Her appearance, demeanor, and figure were completely different."She's already dead," Ethan said. "She died fighting her enemy, but before she perished, she used 5 million dollars to beg me to

Snow followed the woman into the van.The van started, and before long, it slowly disappeared at the end of the road.Ethan watched them leave with a faint smile on his face. He had two reasons for helping Snow.Firstly, Nina had given up her entire fortune, a whole 5 million dollars, just to save Snow's life.Secondly, having Snow alive would be more useful to him compared to having her dead.If Stephen Quinn learned that Snow was dead, he would certainly be devastated and unable to recover for some time.That would be fine and dandy, but what if he first learned that Snow had died, suffered that blow, and then discovered that she was actually still alive but that he would never have the chance to see her again within his lifetime?Not only would Stephen suffer a devastating second blow, but he would also live in guilt for the rest of his life.After all, the last time he saw Snow, he had not believed her.Worse still, Snow had even left him a suicide note.Despite all this,

Stephen stared at Oliver in surprise. He did not expect such a response from Oliver.In all their previous interactions, Oliver had always spoken politely. Why was he taking up such a tone with him now?Oliver's plan was already complete. He had gotten rid of Snow, legitimately opened factories, and even profited from the sports complex. He no longer needed to pretend to flatter Stephen.If anything, the only people he should ingratiate himself with now would be those who were as successful as Ethan Rivers; not failures like Stephen who had ruined two cities and doubted the words of his own woman."I'll have someone investigate it right away," Stephen hurriedly responded.Stephen had people conduct tests, and the results came back quickly. The factories' pollutant emissions were only slightly above the standard permitted.These levels of emissions would not cause a large number of fish deaths in the river.Oliver looked at the test results and remarked, "Well, you've seen the re
The Guardian's Return Chapter 165
Stephen's current plan was to deal with Oliver and his group after the sporting event, once other businesses had come in.How dare they deceive him, use him, and make him hurt Snow's feelings?He absolutely would not let these people off the hook!This grudge must be settled!Oliver chuckled. "If that's the case, let me lay off a batch of workers first, then I'll tell you how much compensation we need."Laying off workers would also have a severe impact on Aqua City’s economy.Stephen could smell the thinly-veiled threat behind Oliver’s words. He clenched his fists, thinking that as soon as the sporting event was over, he would get rid of all these people!After striking the deal, the pollutant emissions from several factories began to decrease.However, there were too many factories set up, and pollutants were still being discharged, which served little to alleviate the river pollution situation.Moreover, a new issue had popped up too—an invasion of non-native species. As if

At that moment, his phone rang.He looked at the screen and saw that it was Stephen calling.Simon’s heart skipped a beat, thinking that Stephen had already found the truth.Despite his experience, the always composed Simon felt a bit nervous now. He answered the call and asked, “What is it?”“There’s a small problem in Aqua City,” said Stephen.Simon sighed in relief.It was about Aqua.Thank goodness.It would be a much more serious problem if Stephen found out that Snow was dead.Wait!Simon snapped back to reality. There was a problem in Aqua City again!He felt incredibly overwhelmed. Snow’s issue was already serious. If something happened in Aqua City as well, it could not be overlooked!“What happened?”Stephen said quietly, “Oliver tricked me.”“Hm?” Simon frowned.Tricked?He instantly had a bad premonition.What was the cause of North Hill City’s ruin? Shawn, Eric, and Brandon had tricked Stephen. In the end, there was also Danny.What was the cause of Seasi
