The Guardian's Return Chapter 42
The shock made Eric forget the scalding pain in his thighs. The town of Lytton respected not the police commander but Ethan, the useless trash who got arrested? “How? How is that useless trash worthy of your respect?” Eric found it difficult to accept. He had dreamt of being the commander day and night, and his dream was finally realized, only for him to find out that it meant nothing unless it was under Ethan’s leadership. Without Ethan, his position as commander was completely worthless. Brandon chuckled. “That’s right. Without Ethan, do you think you’re worthy of Lytton’s respect? It was Ethan who made you people who you are today.” He knew Ethan well because he viewed the man as his rival. He was certain that as long as Ethan was around, Riveria could thrive for another hundred years. To his shock, Ethan did not lose to the enemies who tried to disrupt the order and peace of Riveria but fell to the betrayal of his own people.After finding out what happened to Ethan, B

Could a mere farmer earn that much? In that case, how much did Brandon, the mayor of Lytton, make in a month? It also meant Lytton was not just a small town but a massive corporation! “Commander, if you join us, we can at least give you 500 thousand dollars a month.” Eric gasped in shock. 500 thousand a month was an astronomical amount of money to him. However, knowing the shady deals that Lytton conducted, such as smuggling, illegal immigration, and even selling and producing firearms, he hesitated. Seeing the hesitation in his expression, Brandon smiled and said, “Don’t worry. I want you to join us, not for you to work for us. You’re still the police commander, but I need you to cover us. “Of course, we won’t put you in a difficult situation either. If you want to turn in a few men just to shut your superior up, I can give you a few men to meet your quota. It’s a win-win situation for you and me.” Eric had no reason to reject Brandon’s suggestion.“Fine. I’ll join you gu

Stephen’s lips into a wicked smile. “To see how miserable he is now, of course. I want to tell him that the men he raised have all been taken out. “Even Eric has become the commander now.” George applauded, saying, “That is an amazing move. I like it! Hahahaha!” “Hahaha!” The two of them laughed wickedly. Later that evening, Stephen arrived at the police station and requested a meeting with Ethan. Liam went to Ethan and informed him of Stephen’s request to meet. He asked, “Mr. Rivers, do you want to see him, or should I tell him to leave?” “Since I have nothing to do here, let’s meet him,” Ethan said.After being locked up, he found himself with a lot of free time. The entire day, twenty-four hours, was now his to spend as he wished. Today, he had chosen to meet Stephen, and it was the only reason Stephen had the chance to see him. If he did not want to, Stephen would be turned away. Since Ethan and Stephen were both of unique status, Liam arranged for them to meet i

The men he promoted were capable individuals who devoted their lives to serving the people. Those who Ethan oppressed were capable as well, but they possessed more issues, mostly attitude problems. Now Stephen and the others had gotten rid of the capable ones and replaced them with timebombs. As for how Eric solved the case in half a day, Ethan knew what happened when he heard about it. The town of Lytton must have done it again, and this time, Eric had banded together with Brandon. Soon, North Hill City would see disaster befalling. However, Ethan did not want to make his thoughts verbal because that had nothing to do with him anymore. They could do whatever they liked. If Riveria was no more, he could leave the place or even the country. He had a lot of backup plans. Ethan looked at Stephen and said softly, “Stupid.” Stephen was stunned. He did not expect Ethan to call him stupid in his face!“What do you mean by that?” He got up and stared at Ethan. “Just you wait. Under

Doubling North Hill City’s GDP would mean turning one trillion into two trillion, and it was no longer a small figure, even for a city. Riveria’s total GDP was fifteen trillion, and the federal government had tasked them to increase the amount to twenty trillion as soon as possible. If North Hill City’s GDP could double annually, in addition to the other cities’ GDP, he could likely complete the task from the federal government within a year. Once he pulled that off, he would secure a seat in the cabinet and leave his name in the hall of fame. He could even be recognized amongst the younger generation across the country and even the entire world. Stephen’s hands trembled as his fantasy ran wild. “Great! This is great!” He had not outright declared his choice, but his mind was made up that Shawn Hill must become the mayor of North Hill City! On top of that, Shawn used to be oppressed by Ethan. It was obvious now that Ethan must be jealous of Shawn’s capabilities, hence the

Since the mayor of North Hill City was from the town of Lytton, the townspeople could do whatever they wanted without any scruples. Many illegal businesses had sprung out from the dark corners in less than a week. Some small companies were even raided by thugs who destroyed their officers and stores. Eric and his men arrived and arrested some of the thugs, but in less than a day, the arrested thugs would appear somewhere else, raiding and destroying other people’s properties. In addition to the casinos and moneylenders, the whole city plunged into chaos. While more than a dozen small companies were forced to close down, the medium-sized companies decided to leave North Hill City overnight. Some of the investors wanted out as well. All the chaos happened because of Lytton’s operating casinos, moneylenders, and even smugglers, forcing some other companies to join their illegal businesses. If the other companies refused, the thugs would destroy their officers and properties. The

“Ethan River’s dirty tactics aren’t going to work on us!” Shawn’s words struck a chord in Stephen’s heart. “Well said!” Stephen excitedly said, “You’re right. Ethan Rivers is a despicable man, and his dirty tactics won’t work on us! We will only be stronger!” Shawn brought Stephen to the prison and showed him the troublemakers the police had caught. Stephen was delighted that the police were doing their job. After that, Stephen was then taken to Lytton to meet with Brandon. “This is the mayor of Lytton, Brandon North. He’s not from here but was brought up by the townspeople after he was adopted as an orphan. “Not forgetting his roots, Brandon stayed in the town after school and started his own business, which led him to become a successful entrepreneur. “The businesses in Lytton are some of the best in North Hill City. I know the city is in a bit of a mess right now, with a lot of businesses and investors wanting to leave, but Brandon has never thought of moving. “In fa
The Guardian's Return Chapter 49
Stephen then explained the situation in North Hill City, clarifying that the city was in chaos because the remaining forces that used to work under Ethan had decided to make their last stand and challenge the authorities. Fortunately, with the support of Lytton, the mayor, Shawn, and the police commander, Eric, were eliminating the remaining forces for good. Even though many businesses were forced to close down and investors had left the market, Stephen believed the investors would return as long as the city returned to normal. North Hill City was not the most advanced city in the country, but as a key part of Riveria, it had massive potential to grow. Anyone who left now would regret it later when they would have to fight tooth and nail to re-enter.After learning about the truth, George grunted coldly. “So it’s Ethan again. Hmph! To be pulling out these underhanded moves? I bet he’s getting desperate.” Stephen nodded in agreement. “He is. He wants to drag us down with him, but
