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

After hearing this news, Stephen instantly understood what was happening. Mark wanted to get rid of Gary.However, he did not need to take action, and neither did the criminals have to. They would use someone else to do the dirty work.Mr. Holt would be the one to kill Gary.If the two business rivals killed each other, how much chaos would that cause in Celestial City?It would not only cause public outrage but even result in the remaining businesses living in fear! Some might think of fleeing, and those who fled would not dare to come back.Stephen realized that he had to stop Mr. Holt. If Mr. Holt killed Gary, it would be over.If Gary died, no one could testify against Mark. He would be acquitted. Furthermore, he would be the only business left in Celestial City.All Stephen could do was support him!Not only would he fail to bring Mark to justice, but he might also be forced to support Mark as the new leader of Celestial City’s economy! It was absurd.Just then, George fo

Stephen found Mark and stared at him coldly. “Your plan succeeded.”Now, Mark could openly set up shop in Celestial City since he was the only large enterprise left. Stephen had no choice but to support him, making him the leading business.Mark smiled. “I don’t understand what you’re saying.”Stephen said, “Even if you claim not to understand, I’ll be watching you.” He had to find a flaw with Mark. Once Celestial City stabilized, he would get rid of Mark.“Don’t make it sound so frightening.” Mark said, “No matter what, I’ve made contributions.”“Contributions?” Stephen frowned. “What contributions?”He almost went mad from anger. The chaos in Celestial City now was all thanks to Mark.“First, while everyone else pulled out of Celestial City to save themselves, only I stayed. Second, I caught the two thugs who tried to kill you and found the kidnapped child.”Boom!Stephen’s body shook, his face full of shock. He anticipated the first point, but he did not expect the second!
The Guardian's Return Chapter 302
In the meeting room at headquarters, everyone was shocked when they learned about the situation in Celestial City.The South Regent dared to start a business in Celestial City.Furthermore, he had used schemes to drive away all the other businesses, making him the only major company left, which made it difficult for Stephen to act.Since the city was still in turmoil, Mark’s company had become its economic backbone. If anything happened to it, Celestial City’s economy would collapse completely.They could still arrest Mark, but that would come at too high a price.First, the economy would crash. Second, Mark was a hero who had captured the criminals.They all felt trapped.“At this point, we have no choice but to support him. Once the economy stabilizes, we can gather enough evidence and arrest him.”The others nodded in agreement.After the meeting, Simon called Stephen.“Have people infiltrate his company and gather evidence, but don’t make any other moves. Support the comp

Stephen snapped back to his senses and stared at George in shock, wondering if he had heard wrongly.George continued, “I’m the one managing Riveria now. You can pin all the blame on me.”He understood now.The enemies Riveria had to face were not fools. The South Regent was still untouched and would surely make more moves in the future.George felt that his own family background would not be enough to protect him.However, Stephen’s could. He was the young master of the Quinns, one of the largest families in Metropolis. Even if Stephen could no longer stay in Riveria, he could still return home.Thus, George decided to sacrifice himself to earn Stephen’s favor. If he faced any misfortune in the future, the Quinns would still protect him!Stephen looked at George gratefully. “Thank you.”“It’s nothing.” George smiled bitterly. He never thought that he would be in such a situation one day.His heart was filled with regret. If he had not driven Ethan away back then, would things
The Guardian's Return Chapter 304
Mark worked for the South Regent, and his intention of entering Celestial City was not to help the city but to line his own pockets.As for the criminals that he caught, they were actually his subordinates!Mark only sacrificed two of his men to gain public favor. Now, everyone believed that Mark was a good man.In the future, Stephen would have to be extremely careful of any move he made against Mark.Seeing the compliments, Stephen realized that he had to act quickly and bring Mark to justice. Otherwise, once the truth came out, the people praising him today would scold him with equal fervor.The next day, George’s punishment was announced: a major demerit, a written self-reflection, and a public apology.Riveria would be managed by Stephen again, with George assisting him.The punishment was relatively light thanks to Simon asking for leniency. Without his help, it would have been much harsher.The Internet was not satisfied though.“It’s not the death penalty?”“George re

George gritted his teeth at the South Regent. When he saw the South Regent, he immediately pulled out his phone to call for help.However, the South Regent’s two subordinates acted quickly and pulled out their guns, aiming at George and Rachel.“Hand over your phones.”Since this was Ethan’s house, they did not dare to shoot. They only used the guns to threaten George and Rachel, taking away their phones.The South Regent smiled. “Don’t worry. I’m just here to catch up with an old friend. We’ll leave once I’m done chatting.”Ethan sat on the sofa and took a sip of tea. “We’re not old friends. Don’t flatter yourself.”The South Regent smiled awkwardly.George and Rachel saw the South Regent hold back his temper and were shocked.In their minds, the South Regent was ruthless. Anyone who spoke to him a little too loudly could result in them being beaten to death, but he could only force a smile after Ethan rebuffed him.The South Regent looked at the two and asked, “Why did you c
