"100 billion dollars."Stephen frowned. "That's not really that much, is it?"George was silent for a moment before responding, "Well, compared to what you lost, it's certainly not much."Stephen was left speechless. He had lost 3.6 trillion, or in other words, 360 billion dollars. Compared to 360, 100 certainly seemed small.George almost laughed in exasperation. After losing so much money, Stephen still dared to scoff at 100 billion dollars.As if he himself had ever helped Riveria earn 100 billion dollars! Forget 100 billion dollars, he had not even brought in a million!"Ethan was much more capable than you," George said. "Only someone like Ethan would have the right to consider 100 billion dollars too little."Stephen's face darkened. Ethan again? Why bring up Ethan?He admitted Ethan had some ability, but surely not enough to deserve such praise. Ethan was just a man, not a god!Their plane soon landed in Celestial City.As George and Stephen disembarked, they saw the m

So long as Ethan was still in charge of Riveria, he and his subordinates were to stay away from the border.As such, now that Ethan was gone, the South Regent could finally act freely. However, this meant that the various schemes that he had come up with would go to waste. It was truly regretful.At the very least, he wanted to win at least once.The mayor bowed his head and said, "I understand, Your Highness."He looked back at the villa, then turned and left.The next day, the mayor came again.In this subsequent visit to the villa, the mayor noticed that George and Stephen appeared refreshed and content. They clearly had a good time."Gentlemen, I hope I'm not disturbing you."George smiled and said, "Of course not.""That's good." The mayor breathed a sigh of relief.He briefed them on the wealthy investor's itinerary. Everything was on schedule with an expected arrival in Celestial City tomorrow at noon.They then chatted about Celestial City's development and future pl

Ethan looked at him and said, "Let's talk about that when I get tired of the scenery here."The South Regent smiled wryly, knowing Ethan was rejecting his offer. He then asked, "Are you really not going to manage Riveria anymore?"This was the real purpose of the South Regent's visit. He wanted to find out how Ethan felt towards Riveria.If Ethan still wanted to manage Riveria, there would be no game to play. No one here was a match for Ethan.If Ethan no longer intervened, then it would be every man for himself.Ethan took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Managing Riveria is the governor's job. It has nothing to do with me."The South Regent got excited.This answer meant that Ethan was not going to manage Riveria anymore.Their opportunity had truly arrived!After his initial burst of excitement, however, he felt a bit wistful, realizing that he would never have the chance to face off against Ethan again."There are still many people in Riveria waiting for you. Are you really

They had already arranged accommodations through the mayor, similar to what had been prepared for them with several young, beautiful women waiting in hopes of making the investor reluctant to leave.On the way to the lodgings, Stephen sat next to the investor and smiled, "Celestial City has beautiful scenery, and it's very safe too. How long are you planning to stay in Celestial City during your visit?"The investor smiled and said, "The original plan was to stay for three days. If the environment in Celestial City is really good, I might stay a few more days.”"You won't be disappointed." Stephen smiled. Although Celestial City's scenery was not as good as Aqua City's, because the two cities were not far apart, there were still some calming green mountains dotted throughout its landscape.They quickly escorted the investor to his lodgings where the mayor was already waiting.Seeing the investor get out of the car, the mayor immediately went up to greet him, "Hello, hello, I'm the

Kenny narrowed his eyes. “His Highness? And who might that be?” “South Regent.” Shaken, Kenny’s eyes widened in disbelief. The South Regent's man had become the mayor of Celestial City?! They had infiltrated so deeply?! Kenny gasped heavily. “I thought the South Regent promised Mr. Rivers never to cross the border. Is he going back on his promise?!” “He did not,” said James with a shake of his head. “His Highness is keen to keep his promise. As long as Ethan Rivers is alive, he will not cross the border. However, Ethan Rivers is no longer here.” Kenny went silent. Ethan had gone missing for a long time, and the search party that Kenny sent out came back empty-handed.“This morning, His Highness met Lord Rivers.” Kenny was shocked. “Where is Mr. Rivers?!” “The capital. He is being imprisoned in the mountains by the Quinns and the Lowes.” “I see!” Kenny clenched his fists tightly. Despite Ethan’s significant contributions to Riveria, instead of being recognized and

“What? What happened? Why are they leaving all of a sudden? Celestial City is the financial hub of Riveria. They can’t leave!” George and Stephen panicked. George said, “Go talk to Richard right away and make the deal happen! I’ll contact the companies and tell them to stay!” “Got it!” Stephen moved out right away. Without further ado, George contacted the companies, starting with Kenny’s, and gathered them for a meeting. George looked at the CEOs of the various companies. “Is there any problem that you are facing? Why are all of you leaving the city all of a sudden?” Someone said, “That’s because Celestial City is over. Or more precisely, Riveria is over.” George frowned. “Where did you hear that? That’s groundless rumors! Celestial City is fine! Riveria will prosper!” Someone chuckled. “Is that so? Then why is Riveria’s GDP down to 11.4 trillion dollars?” George was silenced by the question. “Don’t even try to keep us. It won’t work unless Ethan Rivers comes back.

They left because of Ethan. In order to make them stay, George must release Ethan, but was that even possible? Ethan knew too much. George would never let him go, let alone the Quinns. “Hmph. Their leaving might affect Celestial City’s economy a little, but as long as we can get Richard’s investment, we can fill the hole. “Once they leave, many spots in the city will open up, and other companies will compete fiercely to fill their positions!” George did a quick calculation. The departure of those companies might not cause significant losses to Celestial City. He could also address the underlying issues in one sweep, which could ultimately benefit the city more than the losses from the companies leaving. “Once Celestial City’s GDP crosses the three-trillion mark, they will regret it! They will then realize that following Ethan is the worst mistake they’ve made in their lives! Without Ethan, Riveria will continue to thrive and prosper!” George glanced at his watch. “Steph

As the truck drove off, the bodyguard’s car drove past Stephen’s car. He widened his eyes in shock as he watched the car drive past his own and the truck before disappearing beyond the road. He sweated profusely. It was then he realized that the kidnappers came prepared! They used trucks and a spare car to fool the bodyguards! “Who are you?!” Stephen asked. His body was trembling as he sensed danger looming. He had a feeling that his life was under threat. “Who we are is not important. The important thing is…” The man in the rear seat chuckled. “Why don’t we play a game?” “Game? Is my life a game to you?!” Stephen was agitated. He was the son of Simon Quinn of Metropolis, not some random John Doe! “Don’t worry. I know who you are and we won’t hurt you. Don’t you want us arrested?” A sudden realization struck Stephen. He was behind the wheel with the kidnapper behind him. If the kidnapper did not dare hurt him, he could easily drive the car to the police station and th
