Edward was penniless, left with nothing but his title as CEO. However, his company was now empty, reduced to ruins, and his accounts were completely drained.

In other words, Stephen Quinn could not recover any money or get anything from Edward.

Stephen grabbed Edward's collar and shouted, "How could you do something so extreme? Are you even human?"

Edward gave a bitter laugh. "I had no choice."

In Breeze City, the Spencers were a powerful family, but compared to the Hugheses in Metropolis, it was like comparing a firefly’s radiance to the moon’s.

He could not resist Victor Hughes. Splitting up the assets to preserve some of the Spencer family’s fortune was already the best he could do with everything at his disposal.

"Who is it?" Stephen gritted his teeth. "There's clearly someone behind you. Who?"

Edward's accounts had been emptied from abroad, and neither Nolan nor Tyler Spencer's accounts showed any sudden influx of money. The money had not gone to any of them. This meant tha

    Stephen wanted to resolve everything quickly before things got out of hand. However, Victor would not give him that chance. He immediately called the reporters and started a live broadcast."I regret to inform you all of some terrible news," he began. "I just received notice that after Stephen Quinn approved Edward Spencer's grain company to operate independently, the company heartlessly drove down purchase prices for grain, then repackaged ordinary grain as premium and health-conscious products for sale and pre-order, causing massive losses for everyone."As soon as I learned of this, I immediately investigated the embezzled funds. However, due to Stephen's negligence, all the money has been transferred abroad and cannot be recovered."The worst has yet to come, however, as the development zone project that Stephen proposed has been severely misappropriated and sabotaged by the mayor he selected. I sent people to arrest the mayor and track the money, but the latter died in a car ac

    After the news of Edward Spencer's execution was announced, the agitated people of Breeze City calmed down slightly."At least, Stephen Quinn did one decent thing.""Good riddance! After scamming us like that, even dying ten thousand times over wouldn't be enough.""He got off too easy. They should have dragged his corpse through the streets."They had previously attacked and mocked those who were unable to afford the safe grain. After the tables turned and they were mocked mercilessly, they transformed their humiliation into rage, venting it all on Edward Spencer.It was as if viciously cursing the deceased Edward could make their past foolishness disappear and stop people from laughing at them.Stephen watched these people cursing Edward, his heart heavy with emotion. These people knew nothing. Only he knew that Edward was not the mastermind behind everything. He was just a pawn pushed out to take the bullet."These poor people think it's over, that their humiliation can be wa

    Stephen had already sent his men to hunt down the murderer. He quickly started a livestream, stating that he would definitely arrest the murderer as soon as possible to satisfy everyone. However, the effects of the livestream were not desirable. The netizens now resented Stephen. Because of his management, things in Breeze City had deteriorated. Before his arrival, the city had been functioning normally. “Stephen Quinn, get out of Breeze City!”“We don’t welcome you here!”“We need a replacement! Give us back the person who was managing Riveria previously!”The people of Breeze City demanded a change in leadership on the Internet. Stephen genuinely lacked the ability to manage a city, let alone all of Riveria. That evening, after a long and exhausting day, Stephen finally had time to check his phone after he returned home to rest. The first thing he saw was the flood of messages demanding his removal.

    In the dream, Tyler saw his brother’s painful final days, when he killed his wife and child with his own hands, but there was nothing they could do. Tyler could only watch helplessly as Marcus was defeated and ended his tragic life. He also saw how depressed Edward was after the family split, unable to speak up against Victor’s oppression. Then, he was arrested and held in the police station, suffering torture at the hands of Stephen. The Spencers failed to become the strongest family, and they had to leave Breeze City forever, becoming an ordinary family for the rest of their lives. Tyler jolted awake from his dream, cold sweat covering his forehead. Outside the car window, the sky was still dark, and he could hear Nolan snoring. He glanced at his phone and saw that it was half past five, so there was still some time before dawn. Tyler wiped his sweat away, no longer feeling sleepy. He opened the car door and walked out. The mountain air was chilly in the early morning, but

    “This is…” The brothers were surprised. They did not expect Ethan to give them protective amulets. “I got this from Father Tobias yesterday.” Ethan had known about the news of the brothers leaving Breeze City long ago. “Thank you, Mr. Rivers.”The two were grateful. Father Tobias was a renowned priest in Riveria, and his church was always bustling with devotees. Meeting him was up to fate, and it was difficult to get an audience with him. A few wealthy people once offered millions but still could not manage to meet him, let alone get anything from him. The brothers have never heard of Father Tobias giving out anything before. Ethan continued, “After leaving Breeze City, live a good life.”“Okay.” The brothers nodded. “Mr. Rivers, take care of yourself. We’ll take our leave now. If fate allows, we’ll meet again.”Ethan said, “Goodbye.”Tyler and Nolan’s eyes turned slightly red with tears. They bowed deeply to Ethan before turning away and leaving together. They descended the

    “Dad! Marcus!” Tyler choked. Edward and Marcus slowly approached him to say goodbye. “The past is in the past now. You must live a good life from now on,” Edward said with a smile. “Tyler, do your best and take care of yourself,” Marcus spoke lightly. “Okay.” Tyler nodded firmly. The mist began to drift in. Edward and Marcus looked behind them, where several other figures emerged. Although Tyler could not see their faces, he could recognize them. It was his mother and Marcus’ wife and kids. “We need to leave too. Take good care of yourself.”After leaving their last words to Tyler, Edward and Marcus looked at Ethan and bowed to thank him. They walked into the fog to join their family and moved toward the distant horizon, soon becoming nowhere to be seen. Tyler wanted to say something to Ethan, but the next second, he woke up from his dream. He sat there in a daze for a long time. The dream felt too real, and he could not return to his senses immediately until he felt a p

    The Hughes family retorted firmly, “What mastermind? Riveria had no issues previously. Why did the problems only rise after your son went there? In my opinion, there’s no mastermind at all. Your son is merely incompetent!”The others nodded. Riveria had been peaceful in the past, and the economy had grown steadily, already exceeding 15 trillion GDP and heading for 20 trillion. Alas, after Stephen suddenly took over, everything fell apart. The Hugheses continued, “Stephen was there for half a year now but accomplished nothing. We suggest replacing him. Stephen has no right or the ability to continue managing Riveria.”The others immediately echoed, “I agree!”“Riveria’s current economic condition does not look good, and the other provinces are mocking us. Besides, it’s been a few days, and Stephen still hasn’t provided a solution to Breeze City’s problems.”“Now, the people are unhappy with him. He’s unsuitable and has no reason to continue managing Riveria.”Listening to these w
