The Guardian's Return Chapter 899
At HQ, the meeting room was in chaos.Stephen’s sudden confession was too sudden and caught everyone off guard. In an instant, they learned of all his crimes and how Ethan was framed.Now, they had to interrogate Stephen, deal with the consequences of falsely accusing Ethan, and figure out how to face Ethan himself.They were all overwhelmed. An emergency meeting was called to discuss their next step.“Having the officials from Riveria meet Ethan wouldn’t be appropriate. His contributions are far too great, and we owe him too much. At this point, we must go meet him in person.”Ethan had achieved more than any one of them. However, they locked him away on Drakthorn Ridge without giving him a chance to explain.Now, they were all filled with despair. Without daring to delay, they hurriedly boarded a plane to Riveria.By evening, they arrived at the foot of Drakthorn Ridge. Their hearts felt heavy as they looked up at the towering mountain.If they were thrown into a remote mount

“Ahem.”The officials did not know how to greet Ethan, so they could only make a noise to signal their arrival.Ethan looked at them calmly.They forced out awkward smiles and said, “Ethan, we found out about what happened to you. We deeply sympathize and understand.”They walked forward together and took out various certificates.“This incident was also related to our negligence and carelessness. To make up for our past mistakes, we've prepared some things for you.”They placed the certificates on the table.Ethan glanced at them.As long as he signed his name, he would join the cabinet and be on equal footing with the Quinn family.However, he was not interested at all. He did not care about Riveria anymore, and the Quinns were finished.When the officials saw Ethan remaining still, they all tensed up nervously. They were afraid because foreign countries were all reaching out to Ethan.The fact that Ethan had not agreed to them meant that their offer was not tempting enoug
The Guardian's Return Chapter 901
Already feeling guilty that the Grand Marshal passed away in Riveria, they could not afford to let Ethan down again now. On the other hand, Ethan’s achievements were too monumental—so great that they overshadowed everyone else’s. It was enough to warrant his own chapter in history. None of them had the right or the courage to raise their voices in front of him.Ethan said calmly, “I’ve gotten what I wanted. It’s getting late. You should go.”All of them looked uncomfortable. Before they came, they had imagined every possible reaction, from being yelled at to being beaten, even. At worst, he would blame them and scold them for everything. However, they were wrong. They thought of everything except for Ethan’s indifference. At their level of status, they thought nobody could reject them, but now, they understood that they were not as powerful as they thought. “We’ll take our leave.” They could not help but sigh.Given the current circumstances, they could only return anothe

Simon hesitated to speak, knowing it was unlikely for Ethan to forgive them. However, he thought, what if? Stephen’s sincere apology and revealing the truth could have moved Ethan, making forgiveness possible. With that sliver of hope, he did not stop Harrison. Harrison immediately took an overnight flight to Riveria. It was seven in the morning when he landed, and without any rest, he headed straight for Drakthorn Ridge. His assistant could not help but advise, “Mr. Harrison, you’ve not rested all night. Why don’t you take a break before going up the mountain?”Harrison shook his head. “Time will wait for no one.”Ethan was about to leave Riveria, and the Quinns were on the brink of survival. He feared that if he slept, he would miss the final chance of saving the Quinn family. “This is nothing,” Harrison said, “I’ve gone three days without sleep before. Now, hurry up and drive up the mountain!”The assistant, exasperated, could only steer towards Drakthorn Ridge. At nine

Harrison was choking up. Before Ethan could speak…“Mr. Harrison, what are you doing here?” A shocked exclamation sounded from the doorway. Harrison immediately whipped his head around to see a few people standing at the door. He knew those people. They were from the federal government, many of them the heads of several prominent families. Instantly, the blood drained from his face because he was kneeling before Ethan. Everyone could see him like that—stripped of his dignity and utterly humiliated. How could the Quinns ever show their faces again?Harrison’s first instinct was to stand up. However, he then remembered what he said to Ethan earlier, that he was willing to do anything for Stephen and the Quinn family. Was he going back out just because he was embarrassed? At that thought, Harrison forced himself to suppress the urge to stand up. Looking at Harrison kneeling before Ethan, those who had just arrived gasped collectively. At that moment, no one was thinking abou
The Guardian's Return Chapter 904
It was no longer about whether Ethan would forgive them. Even if Ethan forgave the Quinns, would the other families and factions let them off the hook? Obviously not. Harrison’s face went pale. He understood now that getting Ethan’s forgiveness could not save the Quinn family; only getting Ethan on their side could. However, was that possible? There might still be a chance if all they asked for was forgiveness, but to get Ethan on the Quinns’ side? Putting himself in Ethan’s shoes, Harrison knew it was impossible. The Quinns had worked with the Lowes to frame Ethan, imprison Ethan, and steal his achievements, turning the internet against him. Why would Ethan want to be on the Quinns’ side?If it were him, he could not forgive the Quinns either. When he finally pieced everything together, his body went limp. It was over. Things were much more serious than he thought. The Quinns were truly done for. “It looks like you’ve finally figured it out.” Ethan said, “All this time, y
The Guardian's Return Chapter 905
At the Quinns’ residence, Simon had been pacing back and forth anxiously, racking his brain trying to think of a way to save the Quinn family when a maid came to serve him tea. He reached out for it, but as his mind wandered, his grip faltered. “Clang!”The teacup fell and shattered on the spot. The scalding water getting on his hands and feet made him frown. The Quinns were in a crisis, and being scalded by tea caused his frustration to boil. “Get lost!” he yelled at the maid, telling her to leave. Simon sat down, an uneasy feeling still lingering on his mind. At that moment, his phone rang. He picked it up, and seeing that the call was from the federal government, he answered immediately. “Bad news,” said the person on the other end. “Your father has fainted after coughing up a mouthful of blood. Come to Riveria now!”Simon was stunned. Harrison fainted after coughing up blood? How could it be?Without a second to waste, he boarded a plane to Riveria and arrived at 4 p
The Guardian's Return Chapter 906
Simon called the doctor to ask about the cause of Harrison’s death.The doctor explained it truthfully. Harrison was old, sleep-deprived, and suffered an intense psychological blow that his body could not handle.Upon hearing this, Simon suddenly understood.Harrison had not rested properly for a long time because of the Quinn family, especially the night when Stephen revealed the truth. He did not sleep at all that night. Then, he went to beg Ethan, was rejected, and had a mental breakdown. He simply could not hold on anymore.“We were wrong,” Simon cried. “We were really wrong.”They brought this upon themselves. Because they provoked Ethan, everything that followed was inevitable.If they had not been blinded by greed, Harrison would not have died, Stephen would not be in prison, and the Quinns would not fall.What should he do now? What could he do?Stephen had sacrificed himself to give the Quinns a sliver of hope, but Simon failed to protect the family and Harrison. How w

The Guardian's Return Chapter 910
Stephen could not say a single word.His plan of sacrificing himself to bring Ethan back and to give the Quinn family a sliver of hope of survival was just his delusion.Ethan never said he would return, let alone let the Quinns off.Now, Harrison was dead, and Stephen was about to die too. Who was next? There was no need to guess anymore.Stephen paled and nearly passed out on the spot.The people from HQ quickly said, “Ethan, we have a lot of people here who want to apologize to you.”They quickly brought in the group of online trolls. Soon, dozens of people were lined up in the living room.“Kneel and apologize to Ethan!”Thud, thud, thud! Everyone fell to their knees. They saw Stephen the moment they entered.Stephen was the eldest son of the Quinns, the idol of countless people, and the person they dreamed of becoming. However, he now knelt powerlessly before Ethan, his face aged as if he had witnessed an era passing.As soon as the people from HQ gave the order, they im

At noon, the plane landed, and the wrongdoers were escorted into Riveria.People from HQ were already waiting at the airport. They were filled with anger when they saw the group of people. They hated Stephen and these people. These people did not understand anything, but they ran their mouths online. Now, things had escalated beyond their control. If not for their online slander, things might not have gone this far.“Do you know why you’ve been brought here?”The group hunched their shoulders. At this point, they could more or less guess the reason. However, no one dared to speak.“You publicly insulted a hero online. If you don’t receive his forgiveness today, we’ll punish you according to the laws.”At those words, their hearts sank completely. It really was because they insulted Ethan!Not long ago, they had still been stubborn, thinking that it did not matter that they insulted Ethan. What would Ethan do? Arrest them?Now, they were brought here. Not only were they arrested,

After staying up all night, they sat at their desks the next morning. Their screens were lit up, but there was still no internet.Bang, bang!Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.They jumped like they had stepped barefoot on lava, exclaiming, “Who is it?”There was no answer.Bang, bang!The loud knocking continued.The door shook violently, and they were so scared they nearly wet themselves. They quickly grabbed their phones, only to remember that they could not make calls now.Crash! The doorknob fell off.Then, the door was kicked open, and a fully armed team rushed in.“Don’t move!”“Get on the ground with your hands on your head!”They trembled and crouched on the ground, completely pale.One officer stepped forward and punched the guy in the face, knocking him down. Several other officers pinned him down and cuffed his hands.“What’s going on?” The man who was hit was shocked. “What did I do? What are you doing?”The team said nothing. They just received orders
The Guardian's Return Chapter 907
It was like achieving success in business, owning a house and a car, having a young and beautiful girlfriend deeply in love with you, becoming a legend in your circle of friends, family, and even the whole city, only to be told that you had late-stage cancer and that there were a few days left to live.Shock, confusion, and disbelief surged up at once.Stephen snapped back to reality, his voice trembling. “You’re lying to me, right? You must be lying to me.”No one answered.However, from the look on their faces, Stephen saw the answer he did not want to believe: Harrison was truly dead.He collapsed to the ground with a thud, mumbling, “How could this be...”The Quinns were one of the top families. As a member of the Quinns, Harrison had access to the best medical care, diet, and security. Just half a year ago, his physical examination showed that he was in perfect health. He should have lived a long life. How did he suddenly die?“We don’t know,” they replied honestly. “You sh
