The Guardian's Return Chapter 322
In the evening, while George was having dinner, he called Stephen. “We might have a problem with Julius.” Stephen frowned. His plans for Hill City were progressing smoothly and he did not want anything to go wrong for now. “Keep an eye on him.” “I will.” George hung up the phone. They had been tricked thrice, and there was no way they would fall for it again. Meanwhile, Julius sent his men to investigate Stone Village. He wanted to know how the previous village chief disappeared and whether or not the village was involved in any heroic acts. It was important, and if he did not get to the bottom of it, the other villages might claim to be heroic too, which might start a chain of bad reactions. The next day, the construction of the freeway continued and progressed smoothly. The other villages did not raise prices like Stone Village did. Julius also visited the other villages along the freeway course, asking them whether Stone Village contributed to the battle against the in

Back then, Ethan had made Nico kill his own brother. His parents died of illness and his wife left him. His family was shattered, and he was locked up for three years. He had nothing except his son when he was released. Ethan wanted him to fall into despair and devastation, but he made the biggest comeback and became the village chief of Stone Village. He led everyone into making more money and could soon unleash vengeance on Hill City. If Ethan found out that he had grown so powerful, the man would lose his mind. George asked, “Are you talking about Ethan?” Nico asked, “Do you know where he is? Ethan helped us a lot, and without him, there wouldn’t be a Stone Village. I want to thank him in person. Can you tell me where he is?” George sighed at Nico’s request. He could not understand why everyone missed Ethan so much. “He’s in Drakthorn Ridge, but you won’t be seeing him.”Nico marked down the location nonetheless. George left the village after he was done verifying the e

Bang! Nico slammed the table. “Anyone can tell me to let go of the past but you! Have you forgotten who made me kill my own brother? Who caused my parents’ illness and who made my wife leave? Who made me lose everything?” He regretted not bringing a gun, or else he would be pointing it at Ethan’s head. Ethan took a sip of tea calmly. “You’re wrong.” “I’m wrong?” Nico looked at him with his eyes widened. “You’re Lars Wyatt’s accomplice and helped him hurt a lot of people. You haven’t taken any lives, but what you did earned you at least ten years behind bars. “Since your old parents helped us before and they couldn’t afford to lose two sons at once, plus the fact that you have a son, I gave you a chance to redeem yourself. Your brother noticed it. That’s why he made you kill him. “Lars chose death not just because he wants to give you all the credit. He also wanted to protect you. Only with his death, you wouldn’t be exposed.” Nico’s eyes widened in shock. Ethan look

Tommy looked at Ethan in shock. He heard about what happened from his father but hearing it from Ethan in person felt different. He knew what his uncle had done in the past. “Uncle Lars got what he deserved. As for my grandparents and mother, they just have to be. It’s fate.” “Fate?” Ethan muttered. After a few rounds of questions, he got a general idea of Tommy’s personality. Unlike his father, the boy could still be saved. “I won’t stop your father, but I can give you two pieces of advice. “First, collect evidence of his crimes and give them to Stephen Quinn. Though you might not be able to fool your father and after today, you won’t get the chance to leave Stone Village again.” Once Nico realized his son was missing, he would go looking for the boy. When he found out that his son went to Ethan’s place, Tommy would surely be grounded. It was not just because Tommy had met Ethan but also because Tommy knew too much. “Second piece of advice: cut ties with your father and br

Nico gnashed his teeth, thinking that his plan for revenge could not drag on any further. When he met with Ethan earlier, Ethan showed no signs of panic, which meant the man might have some backup plan in place. That was why Nico decided that he had to strike first!Nico called the villagers over and asked, “Do you think you’ve made enough money?”Everyone shook their heads. Who would ever complain about making more money? However, that was exactly the answer Nico was looking for. He said, “I have a way to make money quickly. A lot of these out-of-town companies have been leasing orchards and farms around here. The fruit’s ripe, and the animals are fully grown.“You should gather villagers from other villages to pick their fruits and take their animals. Those fruit and animals could be sold for a lot of money!”The villagers’ eyes lit up at the suggestion.“That’s a good idea.”“We’re locals, and these companies are from out of town. They can’t do anything to us.”“We’ll go

Upon learning that the person standing before him was Riveria’s current governor, Martin was shocked. All they did was steal some fruits and livestock. How did it startle such a high-ranking figure? However, quickly calming down, Martin smiled and said, “What brought you here? If you’d informed me beforehand, I would have prepared good food and wine to welcome you.”“I don’t need it.” Stephen said coldly, “I don’t feel at ease enjoying your food and wine. I have a question for you. Did your villagers raid the orchards and farms owned by those companies?”Martin thought, ‘So it really is about that.’He feigned ignorance. “I don’t know.”Stephen slammed his hands on the table with a bang. “Are you sure?”“I really don’t.”Although Martin did not directly participate in the raid, his wife and children went, and many of the involved villagers gifted him goods as tribute. Whether the villagers ate or sold those fruits and animals, it would only benefit the village. Therefore, he wo

“Perhaps this is all the South Regent’s plan. He wants to use the same trick to drive away the companies here, subsequently bringing in his own businesses, forcing me to support his enterprises!”At that thought, Stephen’s face turned grim. It was very much possible. After all, because of that move, he lost to the South Regent in the previous city, Celestial City. “How dare he try again? This time, I won’t let him succeed! If I’m deceived and tricked again, I’ll have failed the Quinns!”Stephen took out his phone and dialed George’s number.“Did you hear? Today, many villages suddenly acted together and raided some companies’ orchards and farms, causing a total economic loss of 23 billion.”George nodded. “I heard.”However, he did not know that the losses were as high as 23 billion!“What’s the situation?”“I’m guessing it was the South Regent’s plan.” Stephen said, “He wanted to repeat what he did to Celestial City and force the companies away, so he can forcefully move hi

Stephen also noticed the commotion online. “They want Ethan to come back…”Things were getting out of hand. The people thought Ethan was a criminal, but he knew there was no problem with Ethan. In fact, Stephen knew that if Ethan returned, he would not be able to keep his position, and the truth would come to light. Then, he would be in big trouble! He quickly called George to help him figure out a solution. At that moment, George was in Stone Village. Julius had received a tip that someone was selling rare wild animals in Stone Village, so he quickly investigated it, and George followed to keep an eye on him.Nico welcomed them both warmly. After learning that Julius had come to investigate the wild animal trade, he told the villagers to show him around to check if there was evidence. Julius agreed readily, and George wanted to go along, but Stephen’s call came at that moment. “Those companies are threatening me with Ethan. What should I do now?”George frowned as he li
