The Guardian's Return Chapter 856
When they promised that Breeze City would be stabilized soon, the netizens sighed in relief. Many took this announcement and used it to argue with foreigners who had been mocking them.However, Simon had no intention of doing that.Stephen was not safe yet, and the Grand Marshal’s granddaughter had not been found. He needed more time.The next morning, Breeze City was still in turmoil.The foreigners who saw this laughed loudly.Those who proudly bragged about the announcement yesterday felt like they had been slapped in the face. The words they used to mock others had turned into boomerangs, smacking them back.At noon, headquarters called Simon again.“It’s still not stabilized?”Simon quickly said, “Almost. The enemy is cunning, but we’re close to resolving the situation.”“Will it be done today?”“I’ll try my best.”“We don’t want your best. We need a guarantee!”Simon gritted his teeth. “That’s impossible.”“Then, we’ll send someone else!” Headquarters had run out of
The Guardian's Return Chapter 857
Everyone could only silently pray, hoping that Breeze City would stabilize soon.Simon maintained control over the situation, securing three districts one day only to let one fall into chaos the next. The people of Breeze City lived in fear even in their sleep.Many people started to get insomnia while others developed psychological trauma. When they closed their eyes, they could hear the sounds of doors being smashed open, gunfire, and explosions.The hospitals were overcrowded, and despair was written over people’s faces.Time and time again, they hoped that the chaos would end the next day. However, nothing ever changed.Many started to believe that Breeze City was returning to how it was three years ago.Back then, Riveria had not achieved peace, and Breeze City was just as chaotic. It was filled with power struggles between families and factions, while foreign forces stirred up trouble. There was never a moment of peace.No one could understand it. If Stephen managed to bri

They stated that the next priority was assessing the damage and beginning the recovery process.“Thank you all for your support.”Simon and Stephen ended the livestream.The public’s attention remained fixed on Breeze City instead of Stephen.When internet access was restored, people finally learned what happened in Breeze City. The entire internet was shocked. Even bombings had taken place!The people of Riveria were terrified. What happened in Breeze City was worse than anything in the past three years. No one had dared to use bombs before.Simon and Stephen finished their reports and contacted headquarters.“The situation in Breeze City was a failure on our part. We’ll take responsibility.”Simon started the next part of his plan.Using Breeze City’s failure as an excuse, he would stop governing Riveria. That way, they could withdraw from public opinion. Stephen would still be recognized as a hero.The accomplishments that he had stolen from Ethan were enough to let him jo

Once Stephen joined the cabinet, the Quinn family’s power would become even stronger.Victor quickly went to find Ethan.“I need to tell Mr. Rivers about this immediately!”In the afternoon, Victor hurriedly arrived at Ethan’s villa.When he arrived, he found that many people were already there, such as the South Regent, Jason, Caleb, and Daniel. Ethan was sitting calmly on the sofa.I have bad news,” Victor said anxiously. “Stephen and Simon are stepping down from managing Riveria.”He strode forward. “They’re withdrawing completely.”Ethan glanced at him. “I already know.”From the moment he said that Simon would personally destroy Breeze City, he had already anticipated that Simon would do that.The South Regent frowned. “What do we do now?”Ethan looked at them. “Did none of you expect this outcome?”The group exchanged looks, their expressions somewhat awkward. Simon’s action had exceeded their expectations. It was practically a divine move.“He won’t get away,” said E

In Metropolis, Stephen’s appointment to the cabinet had been scheduled, but Riveria suddenly fell into chaos.Many people fell into cryptocurrency scams, becoming obsessed with speculating in virtual currency. They poured all their money in, selling their houses and cars, taking high-interest loans, and even borrowing from family and friends, to join the trend.In the end, the scammers vanished with a fortune, leaving behind nothing but devastation.By the time people realized they had been scammed, the culprits had already fled abroad.They rushed to the police, and after an investigation, the economic loss across Riveria was said to exceed 10 billion dollars!That was not all.Agricultural products were also affected by an unknown disease, causing mass crop deaths and reduced yields.Breeze City had several banana plantations, but overnight, the banana leaves turned yellow, and the fruit began to shrivel up.Not a single plantation was spared!The direct economic loss exceed

He quickly picked up. “There’s an issue with Riveria. We need you to go and manage it.”Stephen was stunned. Was he hearing it right? Was he really asked to return to Riveria to manage it?“I’m tired.” He returned to his senses and said, “There’s nothing I can do about Riveria.”“This isn’t your choice. You have to do it.” The federal government was firm about it.Riveria was in deep chaos now and showing signs of reverting to its state three years ago. Only one person could solve Riveria’s issues right now, and it was Stephen, the one who brought peace to Riveria three years ago!Stephen frowned. He did not understand why the federal government wanted him to return to Riveria out of the blue. “Let me think about it.” Trying to buy time, Stephen hung up and quickly went to look for Simon. He needed to discuss the special situation with Simon. Meanwhile, in the federal government, someone asked the head of the Hughes family, “What if he refuses to do it?”“Ha!” The man chu
The Guardian's Return Chapter 862
Therefore, Riveria would become Stephen’s final destination!Having figured everything out, Simon’s legs turned weak, and he stumbled a few steps backward. That was not the outcome he wanted to see. He wanted Stephen to join the cabinet and then return to the capital to take over the Quinn family and bring them to new heights, not forced to stay in Riveria forever and only return to visit the family during festive seasons!If the Quinns could not remain in the capital, what was the point? “How could it be?” Simon’s breathing quickened, and he found it hard to calm down. “Dad, what’s wrong?” Simon’s drastic reaction frightened Stephen. “I’m fine.” Simon tried to calm down before looking at Stephen, hesitating to speak. Stephen frowned at Simon’s weird behavior. “Dad, what are you trying to say?”“Sigh.” Knowing he could not hide the matter, Simon let out a long sigh. “You must go to Riveria, and you can only go to Riveria.”“Why?” Stephen did not understand. “Didn’t we s
The Guardian's Return Chapter 863
“No,” Simon answered. From the moment they insisted on stealing Ethan’s identity and achievements, they were destined to face that outcome. Everything came with a price, and Stephen being tied to Riveria for his whole life was that price. Stephen slumped onto the sofa weakly. He felt as if all the strength had been drained from his body. He was so close to joining the cabinet, but now, Riveria had forcefully dragged him back again. The only difference was that his chance at the cabinet was gone, and he had to stay in Riveria for the rest of his life. Stephen thought about how, a while ago, Simon told him that they had won this time. Not only did they get a right to join the cabinet by taking Ethan’s identity and achievements, but Riveria’s mess would also become someone else’s.Now, he looked up at Simon. “Did we really win?”Simon lowered his head. Win? They had suffered a crushing defeat!At the thought of how smug he had been before, his face burned with shame. Every word

The Guardian's Return Chapter 920
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
The Guardian's Return Chapter 916
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
The Guardian's Return Chapter 915
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
The Guardian's Return Chapter 912
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
