The Guardian's Return Chapter 284
Simon agreed wholeheartedly. He must keep Ethan locked up in the mountains. Even if the sky collapsed, they could not release him. Dr. Rodman followed Stephen and George to a hospital in Celestial City. With him performing the surgery, Lucas was able to get out of danger. He could wake up in a few days. Then, after two months of rest and recovery in the hospital, he could be released and return to his home. When the villagers heard that Lucas was saved, they were so moved that they knelt to thank Dr. Rodman. Reporters also came to interview him. Facing the show of gratitude and interviews, Dr. Rodman said, “The person you should thank is not me but Ethan. Mr. Rivers asked me to save him.”The reporter frowned. “Wasn't it Stephen and George?”“No. They did not care about Lucas’s life at all. If Mr. Rivers hadn’t received word that Lucas was in a critical situation, he most likely would’ve died.”The reporter was shocked. What explosive news!Stephen and George were the cul

“Stephen, what do you want to do?”“With 6 grand, you want to steal the land that people shed blood to protect?”“I can’t believe I’ve praised him for waiving all construction costs to build a new village and thought he did a good thing. Now, it seems like I’m blind. Was this something that rebuilding the village could solve?”“Stephen, we demand an explanation. You owe it to our heroes!”The public was enraged, and the reputation Stephen had painstakingly rebuilt plummeted in a day. Frightened, he quickly called Simon for a solution. Simon had also seen the comments online, and even messages from beyond the border. “Stephen did it intentionally, didn’t he? He wanted to kill all the heroes and destroy our spirit. How vile!”“As long as Stephen remains, Riveria is doomed.”“Execute Stephen!”Simon investigated it and found that these were all messages from the people who had fled beyond the border. He ordered all the messages to be deleted in a fit of anger. Ethan’s plan

The awards ceremony ended smoothly.In the evening, the villagers gradually moved into the community.Everyone’s noses tingled when they looked at the luxurious and beautiful neighborhood. They never thought that they would one day live in such a place.The families returned to their homes, preparing to celebrate by whipping up a feast.Stephen and George watched from outside.The photographer broadcasted the event live, and the audience in the stream was full of admiration.“They’ve worked hard for all their lives and can finally enjoy some peace.”“Although I’m a bit envious that they can live in such big houses, I know they’ve earned it.”“The community is so lively. It feels like a New Year celebration.”“It really is lively, but has anyone else noticed that no one is inviting George and Stephen in?”“Yeah, even Dr. Rodman was invited in, but why not George and Stephen?”“I can understand George not being invited, but isn’t Stephen the Grand Marshal’s mentee? He’s done s

Stephen and George frowned.The audience was stunned.“It’s such a large truck, but all that’s inside is a paper box?”“Could there be a bomb inside?”“Is someone trying to get revenge on the villagers?”Everyone grew anxious.Stephen shouted, “Everyone, step back! I have a bad feeling about that box.”However, the village chief noticed the truck’s license plate.It was the same one used by his late wife’s food delivery team that many villages including his children had joined!His body began to tremble, and a thought surfaced in his mind.It was a gift.It was a gift from Ethan!Ethan was still alive!In fact, he had been watching over them all this time!The village chief immediately said, “Everyone, don’t be afraid. The box isn’t dangerous. Take it out.”Stephen was displeased. “Are you playing around with the villagers’ safety?”The village chief retorted, “You falsely accused us first, but now you care about our safety?”Stephen was instantly speechless.The vill

The village chief choked up. “He’s been here.”He looked around, trying to find Ethan.Then, he saw a familiar figure standing under a dim streetlight across the road.At that moment, the village chief froze. Tears began streaming down his face uncontrollably.Ethan really was still alive. Furthermore, he had come today!Stephen noticed the village chief’s gaze and followed it. When he saw the figure under the streetlight, his body trembled. He had interacted so many times with Ethan lately that even if Ethan turned to ashes, he would still recognize him.The person under the streetlight was none other than Ethan!He actually appeared here and even brought a gift for the villagers!The village chief wanted to run over, but at that moment, a bus drove by on the road...When the bus passed, the area under the streetlight was already empty.Thud.The village chief suddenly knelt on the ground.“Thank you.”The villagers, George, and the online viewers did not know what happen

The vendor overheard that someone had ordered too much and went over to serve them.“Boss, give us a discount. My boyfriend here is a big shot!”Those words caused the boyfriend to blush.The vendor also laughed.Only Stephen felt as if a knife had been twisted into his heart.“Boss, give us a small discount. My boyfriend is in charge of the whole of Riveria and is a future member of the cabinet!”Snow’s voice seemed to echo in his ears again.Stephen suddenly felt that the food in his hands had lost all flavor.The woman who always believed in him and took pride in him would never be found again.The last time he met her, he did not trust her and even scolded her. In the end, she had still chosen death for his sake.Stephen put down his food and did not wait for the rest of his order to arrive. He stood up, looked up at the night sky, and took a deep breath. “Bill, please.”The vendor was shocked. “Your order isn’t ready yet, sir.”“I don’t want it anymore.”He then walke

Stephen stood frozen in place after hearing everything.No matter how many plans he made, he still failed.Crystal Lake’s pollution was not due to poor rules that he made up or his being deceived. It was because everyone had been left with no choice!Faced with high rent and fewer customers, the businesses had no choice but to cut corners and reduce pollution management.As they cut corners and caused environmental pollution, it drove customers away, leading to fewer and fewer people until no one was left.It was a vicious cycle!Who caused all of this?At its core, it was him!If he had not set the rent so high and used fabricated stories to lure tourists, the food hall would not have ended up in this situation.The food hall was completely ruined! It took less than a month from its opening to the point of having no customers. Billions of dollars went up in smoke just like that.If people were to find out, what would they think of him?How incompetent of him!Thud, thud, t

George thought about it and said, “I think we do. As for how much, we can negotiate with them.”Stephen pondered and felt that George’s idea made sense. “We need to handle the relocation plan ourselves.”He remembered Danny from North Hill City.Back then, a similar situation had happened. He had asked Danny to select the relocation area, only for Danny to embezzle the money and run away. As a result, North Hill City was completely ruined.Stephen asked for a map of Celestial City and studied it with George before finally choosing a location on the outskirts of the city.“Here. Although it’s a bit far from the city center, it’s near the highway and relatively flat.”After careful consideration, Stephen felt that this spot could work and George had no objections.Having chosen the location, they discussed what benefits they could offer the businesses that agreed to stay.Lower taxes? Easier product exportation? Reduced rent?They discussed it for a long time and finally settled
