The Guardian's Return Chapter 292
Stephen deeply regretted his decision now.If only he had not abolished the rules Ethan set in place.If only he had not allowed the property prices to soar unchecked.Stephen gulped and asked, “Can we choose another location?”“If it’s not in the city center, then there’s no point talking.”“Are you really the Grand Marshal’s mentee who brought peace to Riveria three years ago? Hmph, it seems you’re not that great at all.”“Just pay us the money.”They did not want to listen to Stephen’s excuses anymore. They did not care about Celestial City or its future. All they cared about was whether they could make money.Celestial City’s economy was now in decline, and many migrant workers were leaving. It would be impossible to attract employees if they were not in the city center.With no reason to stay, the group stood up and left.Even if they could not get back all their money, they still decisively chose to leave without hesitation.Only Stephen and George remained in the meet

At those words, Stephen instantly felt as if his heart had been pierced by a bullet. Whenever he encountered problems, his first instinct was indeed to seek help.George, Ethan, Simon...He always thought that as long as he asked for help, the problems would be easily solved.However, Ethan’s words struck his core like a large bell, waking him up. He could no longer run away from his responsibilities!Stephen paled. His body trembled as he stared at Ethan, his mouth opening and closing several times.In the end, all his words turned into a sigh.“Alas...” He said to George, “Let’s go.”Stephen felt ashamed. He did not have the dignity to stay any longer.He and Ethan were about the same age. However, Ethan was able to manage all of Riveria and control everything.What about him?North Hill City, Seaside City, and Aqua City were ruined in quick succession. Now, Celestial City was also on the brink of collapse.Riveria’s GDP had been 15 trillion dollars and was on track to rea

“Although the Crystal Lake and Azure Cloud Mountain tourism projects failed, there are a few hero villages in Celestial City that could be developed as tourist attractions.“We can restore Crystal Lake and lower the entrance fees to Azure Cloud Mountain, or even offer free admission to certain eligible individuals. By focusing on the hero villages as the key attraction, we can also bring more visitors to Celestial City.”Stephen nodded, satisfied with all the ideas.He even came up with one himself. “I’ve decided to increase the incentives for new companies to settle in Celestial City. We’ll get them to establish their roots here first and gradually address the housing price issue once the city stabilizes.”Simon felt that the plan was faultless. However, it might take a very long time. He asked, “That might take a long time. Are you sure about using these methods?”Stephen thought about it. “It’s just three to five years. I can wait.”He did not want to fail again!At those wor

The thugs nodded in satisfaction.One of them walked up to the man and said, “You’ve made a very wise choice. However, to prevent you from going back on your word, we’ll have to take your child.”The man was shocked. “What?!”The next second, the thug suddenly struck him with the butt of a gun, knocking him to the ground and binding his limbs. Then, the thugs took his child away while he watched.Half an hour later, the man managed to free himself from his restraints. He untied his wife and immediately called the police.When the station received the news, they took it very seriously.Richard’s kidnapping and the attack on Stephen were still unsolved, and now, the culprits were kidnapping the child of a business owner.That was not just lawlessness. It was a blatant provocation!Furthermore, the thugs were armed. Every second they were out there posed a threat to public safety.“We must catch them!”The order was issued.Despite knowing the consequences of their actions, the

Stephen was surprised and immediately had the company investigated.The results showed that the company had been established a month ago and had a registered capital of 30 million dollars! Furthermore, the scale of the company ranked among the top in Celestial City.Stephen was overjoyed.At a time when Celestial City desperately needed people, the arrival of this company was like a lifeline!“We welcome you!” Stephen personally went to meet the owner.Mark Smith was very young and seemed to be under thirty. Stephen was surprised. If this young man had built his business from scratch, he was just as capable as Stephen himself.“What does your company specialize in, Mr. Smith?”“Food production and processing. We also have our own online platform...” Mark described the nature of his business.He toured the city center and selected a building as the company’s office. The annual rent for that building alone was in the billions.Stephen was overjoyed to see this. With such a major

After a round of drinks, Mark received a call. He glanced at the screen and hung up. He smiled and said, “Please continue, gentlemen. I need the restroom.”Two minutes later, another businessman stood up and said he needed to use the restroom as well. He slowly walked toward the gents’ room and was just about to enter.Bam!A young man rushed out and collided with him head-on.The businessman stumbled back and managed to regain his balance. He looked up and was just about to scold the man when he suddenly froze.The person he bumped into was one of the criminals!Although he was dressed in the restaurant staff’s uniform, there was no mistaking his face!The criminal saw the businessman’s reaction and knew that his cover was blown. He pulled down his hat and hurried away.The businessman was just about to take out his phone to call the police when he saw Mark come out of the restroom.Their eyes met, and the air suddenly turned tense.The businessman realized something and ask

Then, Mr. Lynch looked at Mark again. “Even if you fool everyone else, you can’t fool me. I’ll be watching you.“I’m in the cement and construction business and have a vendetta against the South Regent. If you make any move, don’t blame me for being rude. After all, anything can be buried in cement before it sets!”He wanted to threaten Mark so that the latter would not make any bold moves. Celestial City could not afford to be further destroyed.Then, he stormed out of the room in a rage.Mr. Holt shouted at his back, “You’re sick!”Only Mark, one of the South Regent’s men, watched Mr. Lynch’s figure and smiled faintly.Mr. Lynch left the restaurant and called for his driver to pick him up.As the car approached, its headlights glared in his eyes, making him feel uneasy. He quickly stepped back.However, the car slowly came to a stop by the curb. The car door opened, and the driver got out to help the still-shaken Mr. Lynch into the car.“Check the car thoroughly before we le

“Don’t worry. I won’t do anything.” Mark said, “I told you, I’m here to establish myself in Celestial City. Why would I dirty my hands?”Mark’s voice was so calm that Stephen felt a chill go down his spine.For an instant, many scenes flashed through his mind.The attackers at the speech, the criminals who kidnapped Richard, and the thugs who kidnapped another businessman’s child.Stephen had a bad feeling and hurriedly rushed out of the station, trying to call Mr. Lynch. However, no matter how many times he dialed the number, the line did not connect. He quickly informed the police chief and told them to search for Mr. Lynch.Then, he called George to assist in the search. “Find Mr. Lynch now! He’s in danger!”Stephen thought of the armed thugs. Since Mark was arrested, they would definitely try to eliminate Mr. Lynch, the last witness.If anything happened to Mr. Lynch, they would lose all evidence against Mark! They would no longer be able to convict him!Meanwhile, Mr. Holt
