The Guardian's Return Chapter 171
“Hahaha—” Stephen suddenly laughed in anger.After a few laughs, he raised his hand and slapped himself hard.Smack!Once.Smack!Twice.Tears swirled in his eyes, but he did not seem to feel the pain at all.Adam and his assistant grabbed his hands, shouting, “Calm down!”Stephen’s laughter disappeared. He began to cry softly. Then, the crying grew louder until he was sobbing uncontrollably like a child.Adam and his assistant were helpless and could only sigh.Simon also heard the sobs. At that moment, there was nothing he could do.The Quinns could do anything, but they could not bring the dead back to life!Stephen got on the plane and called Liam. “How did Snow die?”“She starved herself.”“Why didn’t you force-feed her? Why didn’t you send her to the hospital? Why didn’t you tell me?”“I’m sorry. It was her decision.”Sorry. Another ‘sorry’.What use were apologies?Stephen wanted to ask, but then he remembered the last time he met Snow. He also owed her an apol

Stephen stood up to find Ethan, but as soon as he did, he felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.Fortunately, Liam caught him in time.“Why are you going to find Mr. Rivers?”Stephen shook Liam’s hand away and said, “He knew that Snow’s parents died, so he must know where her hometown is. I have to go find him.”He staggered and hurriedly left the station.Although Liam did not like Stephen, he could not help but worry seeing Stephen like this. It would be troublesome if an accident happened on the way.He quickly caught up to him and said, “I’ll bring you there.”With Liam’s driving, the two soon arrived at Ethan’s villa.At that moment, the villa gates were open just like before, as if awaiting their arrival.Stephen took a deep breath and mustered the courage to walk in.When he reached the living room, he heard a beautiful song playing.[The church’s doves will never kiss the crows.[Just like how I’m unworthy of him under the stars.[How did time bring us to this s

Stephen’s eyes instantly lit up. “What is it? I’ll answer ten questions, let alone one!”Ethan asked calmly, “Snow died because of you. You killed her, but you’re so determined to find her grave now. Is it because you don’t want her to rest in peace?”Boom!That question was like a bomb, hitting Stephen viciously.He widened his eyes and fell to the ground.He could not answer!He had no response!Cold sweat slowly trickled from his forehead.Ethan looked at Stephen and continued, “You’re so selfish. You only ever think of yourself.”“I... I...” Stephen lowered his head, his body trembling. “No, that’s not true.”“Then, why did Snow die? Who was it who held that press conference to publicly sever ties with her? If you truly loved her, would you have cared about what the world thought?” Ethan asked. “If you hadn’t brought her to me to brag, would she have died?”Stephen did not dare to raise his head.If Snow did not know the truth about her parents’ death, perhaps she would

Liam was dumbfounded.Was that the answer?He did not expect it to be money.However, after thinking about it, the answer made a lot of sense. All those emotional matters had nothing to do with Ethan. After all, love would not fill the stomach. Liam also did not find the situation particularly touching. He only felt angry.Stephen killed Snow. He was simply reaping what he sowed!Only money had any value to Ethan.Ethan took out his phone and called Simon.The call instantly connected.Simon anxiously asked, “Where did you go? Why didn’t you pick up?”Stephen did not seem to hear. “Transfer 10 million dollars to Ethan.”“What?” Simon thought he had misheard.Transfer money to Ethan?And 10 million at that! That was not a paltry sum.Most importantly, why was it for Ethan? Stephen wanted nothing more than for Ethan to die. Why was he suddenly giving him money?“Why?”“Transfer him 10 million dollars now.” Stephen did not explain and hung up after saying those words.Simo

Stephen looked at the wilderness, lost in thought.He could not believe that this used to be a town!“Was Riveria that chaotic back then?”Looking at the abandoned houses, Stephen realized for the first time how chaotic Riveria had been before.“Yes, it was.” Liam continued, “Even the Grand Marshal couldn’t bring peace and went missing in the chaos.”“What?” Stephen was shocked. Even the Grand Marshal could not resolve the turmoil in Riveria? “How could that be?”Liam sighed. “It’s true. Back then, Riveria was plagued by both internal and external issues. It was dire.”Stephen asked, “Who ended the war?”Liam looked at him and slowly said two words, “Ethan Rivers.”Stephen instantly widened his eyes.It was him!The person he trapped in Drakthorn Ridge!He had accomplished even what the Grand Marshal could not!Could what those people said be true? Could Riveria really not survive without Ethan?That was impossible!Stephen quickly shook off those ridiculous thoughts.A

“What are you doing here? There’s a whole group of people guarding you at Drakthorn Ridge!”Ethan said calmly, “You’ve gone to Lytton and seen Crestwood. None of their people could stop me. Why do you think a few of your men could keep an eye on me?”Furthermore, he had once moved freely through the South Regent’s army.For a moment, Stephen was speechless. He recalled his experience entering Crestwood with a group of people, only to end up tossed into a pile of trash, humiliated.Ethan slowly walked over to the grassy patch and sat down next to Stephen.He asked, “Have you ever thought about this while lying here? Years ago, Snow was just a carefree girl. She used to lie here and watch the stars too.”Stephen fell silent.He turned his head slightly, and in a daze, he seemed to see Snow lying beside him, smiling gently at him.She said, “The stars are so beautiful.”Stephen reached out to touch her but stopped halfway through.He did not dare to. He was afraid that if he tou

Stephen’s voice trembled with fear. “No! I didn’t! I just…”“You just want to kill her again?”Stephen shouted, “No! Tell me where she is!”He was like a drowning man, desperately clinging to a lifeline. “I’ll give you another 10 million dollars. Please tell me where she is. She’s still alive, and I want to apologize to her in person. I won’t hurt her again.”Ethan smiled. “10 million isn’t enough.”“How much do you want?” Stephen urgently asked. “As long as I can afford it, I’ll give you whatever you want!”“50 million.”That figure hit Stephen like a ton of bricks. 50 million was not a small amount.However, he thought of Snow and immediately agreed. “I’ll give it to you now!”Once again, he gave Simon a call and told him to transfer the money to Ethan immediately.“50 million?” Simon was shocked. “Why are you giving him so much money out of the blue?”“Snow is still alive! Ethan saved her. Only he knows where she is now!” Stephen shouted.“What?”Simon was stunned.Sno
The Guardian's Return Chapter 178
Stephen and Simon waited for another half minute, but Ethan did not continue.“That’s it?” Simon asked. “That’s all you’re going to say?”Ethan nodded. “Yep.”“That’s ridiculous!” Simon could not accept it. 50 million for just that? Although it did reveal where Snow was, the area was vast. How many villages were there in Draconia? There were too many to count, and wanting to find Snow would be like searching for a needle in a haystack. The worst part was, they could not even search for her publicly. Everyone believed Snow had committed suicide out of guilt. If they suddenly announced that she was alive—that everyone was tricked, what would people think?On top of that, all eyes were on Stephen now. How could he explain bringing a criminal back home?In other words, although Ethan revealed where Snow was, it was almost like he had not. The chances of finding her were slim. Even if they could find her, it would take decades. Stephen and Snow would both be old, and what would b
