He was confident that he could fight three at once while maintaining the odds, but he could not see Ethan’s movements. Had Ethan harbored murderous intent against him, he would not even have time to react. With such power, Ethan could easily fight nine men at once. Number Three could not understand why Ethan would rely on strategy when he clearly had the strength to dominate through sheer force. Ethan tossed the gun to Marcus and then said to Number Three, “Fighting is too inefficient. Besides, you’re not even worth me stepping outside to deal with.” Number Three stood there, dumbfounded. The nine of them were known assassins, mentors of not just close combat but also firearms and poison. They prided themselves on being unbeatable, no matter the target, and yet, here was Ethan, telling them they were not even worthy of his time. He did not take them seriously at all! Number Three’s confidence shattered. The nine of them had accepted the mission with utmost confidence, only to

Andy’s mind was filled with questions. He could not understand why his mentor would sit down when his foe invited them to. It was humiliating! Ethan calmly said, “There’s tea in the pot. If you want some, help yourself.”Marcus picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Ethan and himself. Holding the hot tea cup in his hands gave him a small sense of comfort. “Your tea is as good as ever.” Ethan smiled. “How’s life been over the past three years?” “Not bad.” “I heard you got married.” “Yeah. I have a daughter now, and she’s two this year. If I knew I was meeting you today, I would have brought her along.” Ethan’s smile widened as he said, “Congratulations.” Marcus simply smiled and nodded. Ethan then asked, “It’s been three years. I suppose you’re still sharp?” Marcus immediately tensed up, a nervous smile appearing on his face. “I guess so.” Ethan could tell Marcus had grown complacent over the years. “Don’t worry. The blood you shed for Riveria is enoug

Marcus got up on his feet and glared at Andy as the young man walked away. “Stop right there!” Andy turned a deaf ear and continued walking. Ethan took a sip of tea. “I see your choice of students needs to be improved. I’ve told you before that it’s not just about someone’s abilities—character matters most.” Lowering his head, Marcus muttered in embarrassment, “I’m sorry. Andy is still young and foolish. I apologize on his behalf. Please don’t mind the boy’s temper. I’ll teach him better from now on. Please excuse me.” He then went after Andy and found the boy inside the car. “I told you to apologize. Why are you being so stubborn?” Marcus said, exasperated.Andy replied, “I did nothing wrong. Give me time, and I will surpass him. I don’t need to apologize to him.” Marcus could only sigh. “Surpass him? Do you have any idea what he’s done in the past? One word from him and the nine infamous assassins beyond the borders were taken down, with seven dead and two crippled.“
The Guardian's Return Chapter 369
The South Regent owning a company in Riveria was unacceptable. It was disrespectful to Stephen and the others. That would be a chance for Andy to prove himself. Stephen asked, “Why do you ask?” Andy chuckled and said, “Nothing. I have something else to do. Talk to you later.” With that, he got up and left. As soon as he left Stephen’s place, he booked a ticket to Hill City. He did not ask Stephen which company belonged to the South Regent, but he believed he could easily locate it by asking around. After Andy got onto the plane, Marcus realized the young man was gone. He tried calling Andy but could not get through since the phone was turned to airplane mode. “Where is he?” He sent someone to find out where Andy had gone earlier. A while later, he dropped by Stephen’s place as it was the last place Andy had been seen. When Stephen saw Marcus at his house, he furrowed his brows. He had never seen the man before. “Who are you?” “I’m Andy’s mentor, Marcus West.” “Y

“Release me!” Andy bellowed as soon as he saw the South Regent. “Do you know who I am?” The South Regent nodded. “The son of the Whites, Andy White.” Andy grunted and said coldly, “If you know who I am, release me now! If anything happens to me, my family will come after you!” The South Regent nodded. “I know.” The Whites were one of the more influential families in the capital, possessing extremely powerful authority. If something happened to Andy while in captivity, the South Regent might also face severe consequences. However, it did not mean he could not do anything to Andy. Having lost to Ethan too many times, he understood something. No matter how powerful someone was or how many followers they had, no one could ever be all-powerful. Andy said, “Release me now. Apologize and I can let this slip.” The South Regent gestured at his man to release Andy. When Andy regained his freedom, he grinned with delight and was in awe of how powerful his family’s reputation was
The Guardian's Return Chapter 371
The South Regent gulped nervously, shaken by what Ethan said. He asked, “Are those the reasons you came up with?” “Not all of them.” Ethan had more than three ways to save his men. The three options he provided were simply selected after considering himself, the South Regent, and the South Regent’s opponents. They might not be the best option, but they were more than enough to deal with the South Regent. Ethan said, “I don’t need reasons to take them back.” The South Regent stiffened, his whole body tensing up. “What do you mean?” “I’ll just beat you up.” “You think you can take me?” The South Regent found it amusing, but he dared not laugh. The three options Ethan provided had pressured him immensely. He got up and asked, “Why don’t we have a little spar?” He did not want to miss the opportunity to fight Ethan. He might not be as eloquent as the man, but he might still stand a chance to beat him physically. It might be his only chance at victory. “Sure.” Ethan
The Guardian's Return Chapter 372
“I surrender! Stop it! I surrender!” The South Regent was afraid. He quickly surrendered so that the humiliation would stop. As a matter of fact, when Ethan kicked him the first time in the chest, he already knew he could not win, but he was too proud to admit defeat. Now, after three humiliating slaps, he was forced to face the truth. If he did not, he would not be able to show his face in public anymore. Ethan put his hand down. When dealing with stubborn people, sometimes the best way was to settle it with fists. The South Regent covered his face as he looked at Ethan in fear. He never thought he would lose to Ethan not only on tactics but also physically. He was no match for Ethan. His men, standing around him, were all left speechless. The South Regent was slapped three times, consecutively, in front of them! The most surprising thing was that the South Regent dared not fight back. He could only cover his face and admit defeat. The man ruled as the strongest leader bey
The Guardian's Return Chapter 373
What followed were screams of pain as Andy was thrown to the ground over and over again. Yet, throughout it all, the South Regent stood perfectly still. “It has been more than ten moves. To be honest, if you weren’t a White, you wouldn’t be here,” the South Regent said. Andy lay flat on the floor, his eyes staring into the blank space above him in disbelief. He had lost. He was no match for the South Regent. After twelve moves, he could not even lay a finger on the South Regent’s shirt and was knocked down repeatedly. Andy felt despair. He felt like there was no way he could beat the South Regent, so how could Ethan have beaten the South Regent? It did not make sense.“Did Ethan really defeat you in ten moves?” he asked, clinging to a thread of hope. “Those are just rumors,” the South Regent explained. Andy’s eyes lit up with hope. “I knew it! I knew he could not have beaten you, let alone in ten moves!” If even Ethan could not defeat the South Regent, then it made sense

After everything was settled, the people from HQ went to Ethan again. They apologized to him and begged for his forgiveness.“We’ve dealt with everyone involved in this matter. Are you satisfied with the outcome, Mr. Rivers?”With that, they lowered their heads to the ground nervously. Their only hope now hinged on Ethan’s response.They did not dare to ask for much. All they hoped for was that Ethan would not leave the country.Ethan glanced at them calmly and said, “Send someone to help move my stuff down the mountain.”Hearing that, everyone was first stunned, and then ecstatic.“Of course!” they replied in unison.They understood what Ethan meant. He was staying! Although it was not his complete forgiveness, he was willing to give them another chance.They were all overjoyed. As long as Ethan did not leave, there was plenty of time to slowly make amends.They took out their phones and made arrangements to help Ethan move.After the call ended, they said, “We respectfully

The day of Rachel and George’s trial came.The livestream began at 10 a.m., and hundreds of thousands of viewers joined instantly.Rachel and George slowly walked into the courtroom in handcuffs.Bang! The judge’s gavel fell, and the room went silent.It was not a lawsuit. It was a trial to expose the sins of Rachel and George.The judge read out their crimes one by one, until Rachel and George’s faces paled to the point that they looked like corpses.The viewers in the livestream finally saw the full picture.“So that’s it! The Quinns and the Lowes conspired!”“They deserve to die! How could they frame Ethan like that? Are they even human?”“The death penalty! They deserve the death penalty!”They were all furious.Many people had lost their families as a result of supporting Stephen and scolding Ethan. After watching the livestream, they realized just how deeply they had been wrong.They were accomplices to the Quinns and the Lowes' crimes in framing Ethan!Their current

They suppressed their disgust and returned home, only to see their parents and wives’ panicked expressions.“What did you do out there?”“So many people came today, asking for you by name.”How were they supposed to answer those questions? They could not just say that they had insulted Ethan online.If they did, their parents would beat them to death before anyone else could.“It’s nothing,” they replied stiffly. They had no choice but to hide the truth. After all, they could not say that they had insulted Ethan, or that they had lost their jobs.However, the next second, their parents received text messages. After their parents glanced at their phones, their expressions instantly changed.It was a message from the bank, stating that their child had been listed as a defaulter and urging them to repay the loan immediately.“What have you done?” Their parents’ voices trembled.Seeing that there was no way to hide it anymore, they had no choice but to confess the truth.They los
The Guardian's Return Chapter 917
Seeing that message, they immediately felt as if their world had ended.Because they had insulted Ethan, they lost their jobs, were blacklisted, and could not find work again.“How could this be?”No one expected this outcome. They thought, ‘So what if I insulted him? Are they going to punish me for it? Besides, so many people are insulting him. They can’t possibly punish every single person who did it. At most, I’ll post a public apology and promise that I’ll never do it again.’However, now they were all fired. Everyone who had insulted Ethan had been dismissed from their jobs.It seemed like there were several tens of thousands of people involved! It was hard to imagine just how many people had lost their jobs in real life.“Why are they going this far? Aren’t they afraid of causing unrest?”Of course, HQ had considered that. However, they knew what was more serious.If Ethan went abroad and cooperated with foreign countries, the consequences would not be limited to a few pe

George thought that Rachel had already escaped abroad, so he was not afraid when he arrived.Now, when he saw Rachel there as well, he completely panicked.This was not what he had expected!“Where else would she be?” someone from HQ asked.George looked nervous and stammered, unable to say a word.With Rachel caught and him being brought here, it was clear that HQ already knew the truth. Coupled with his fear of Ethan and his helplessness in the face of reality, he no longer had the strength to make up any excuses.He had resigned himself to fate.“You really have some nerve." The people from HQ sneered. “You fooled us all completely.”“You’ve been hiding Ethan’s contributions all this time, haven’t you?”“You two are nothing but disasters to this country! You deserve to die a thousand times over.”George kept his head down while Rachel sobbed. “I was wrongfully accused!”“Shut up! Are you still trying to fool us at a time like this? You were wrongfully accused? By who? Sim

They brought this on themselves, forcing themselves into a corner with no way out. “Ah!”Simon could not take it anymore. He suddenly ran towards the window, trying to end his life. Fortunately, the officials quickly stopped him. “Don’t be reckless! Think about Stephen. You’re all he has now!”That sentence made Simon stop. Now, Stephen and Simon were each other’s support and burden. Simon slumped on the ground weakly. Right now, they both wanted to die, but neither of them had the courage to follow through. All they could do was live on in pain. After a long silence, Simon said, “I’d like to file a report on someone.”To obtain some kind of reward and survive a little longer, Simon decided to turn in George and Rachel. When the officials heard him, they were stunned. They did not expect Rachel to be involved in framing Ethan. “Shit!” Someone exclaimed. “I heard Rachel bought a flight ticket overseas. Could she have fled?”The room was filled with dread. If Rachel ra

Seeing that Stephen was awake, the others rushed to get the doctor. The doctor was astonished as well. Stephen’s sudden awakening was nothing short of a miracle. However, after examining him, the doctor’s expression darkened. Stephen had regained consciousness, but the prognosis was far from hopeful.“He can’t move,” the doctor said. “As of now, he’s paralyzed.”Stephen could open his eyes, but the rest of his body was unresponsive. He could not move his limbs or his neck and mouth. The only part he could move freely was his eye. Even his breathing was dependent entirely on medical equipment. “He might never be able to leave the bed again.”Upon hearing that, Stephen closed his eyes in despair, tears continuously rolling down his cheeks. He had fought so hard to wake up, only to realize he had missed his final chance to meet Snow and Lily. Worse yet, he also lost the ability to move. From now on, he would be confined to the bed and hooked up to machines just to stay alive.
The Guardian's Return Chapter 913
His father died a miserable death, his son was in a coma, and the Quinn family was shattered, leaving only Simon behind to finally realize all his mistakes. However, it was too late. Harrison could not come back to life, the Quinn family could not be whole again, and Stephen could not recover. Simon would forever be haunted by pain, despair, and regret for the rest of his life. At that moment, in complete darkness, Stephen heard Simon’s voice. He was conscious but failed to open his eyes or speak; he could not move a muscle. He wanted so badly to sit up and tell Simon that it was not solely his fault. They were all wrong, and this was their retribution!Just then, two women walked into the ward. When the officials saw them, their eyes widened in shock. For a second, no one even breathed. They were Snow and Lily!The officials thought they were seeing ghosts. Those women were supposed to be dead. Why were they there? Snow and Lily noticed their shocked gazes and offered them

Due to Harrison’s previous incident, the officials reacted quickly by sending Stephen straight to the hospital.After an emergency rescue, Stephen’s life was saved. However, he paid a heavy price. When the doctor walked out of the emergency room, the officials asked, “How is he?”“The situation isn’t looking good,” the doctor said grimly. “His body is in a bad state, and due to long-term emotional distress, he suffered a brain hemorrhage from the emotional shock.“He’s still in a coma, and we can’t say for sure when he’ll wake up again. It depends on his will to live.”The officials drew a sharp breath. “Do you mean he might end up in a coma forever?”The doctor nodded. No one saw coming that Stephen would fall into a coma, with little chance of ever waking up again. However, it also meant he did not have to die anymore. He would be alive but confined to a bed. Suddenly, they thought of Harrison’s desperate pleas to Ethan back in his villa. “I’m willing to trade my life fo
