The Guardian's Return のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 131 - チャプター 140

They had never met Ethan, yet he had orchestrated the deaths of eight people. Among the eight, five were forced to take their own lives, while the remaining three fled the country, severely injured. Even the CEOs lost contact with the three of them. It was as though they had vanished into thin air. No one could find them.However, just a few days later, the CEOs learned about their mysterious deaths. They were killed in another country, and their families had been wiped out. The group of bosses got so afraid that they ran, but no matter what, they could not accept their fates. With them dead, all their money and assets were transferred to a mysterious account. After that, Aqua City received huge funding to accelerate its development. That was when they knew Ethan was the person behind their mysterious and gruesome deaths. “This is Ethan Rivers. It’s best to expect the worst. One misstep and we will be joining the rest in hell.” The one who spoke was Thomas Youngman, the owne

“Don’t worry, I’m not Ellen. She must’ve developed feelings for her target. That was why Ethan Rivers used her. I won’t make such a stupid mistake,” Snow said. Oliver was happy with the reply. He did not want one of his women to die on an assignment either. “I will arrange for your next meeting with Stephen. Now, you can satisfy me first.” With that, the Mercedes drove off. Stephen and the mayor, on the other hand, went around the city and completed his mapping for future developments. The mayor then handed him a set of documents. “These are the selected locations for the sports games. You can pick one out, and we will move the venue there.” Stephen went through the list and chose a spacious location, one where multiple rivers intersected so that it could fit a massive stadium. The mayor took the document back and said, “Very well. I’ll tell the men to start working on it.” The reconstruction of the new stadium must be carried out immediately as the event was only a m

Stephen had thought about it during the planning phase. Although blocking the streams might disrupt the water flow and traffic and cause minor economic losses, the gains and profits surpassed the losses. “Just do as I say.” However, the head contractor shook his head. “It can’t be done. It really can’t. If you insist, you can find another company to take over.” The man might take up the challenge if the stadium had to be completed within a year, but a month was ridiculous. He was afraid to take on the project because if anything went wrong, he might be charged or prosecuted. Stephen lowered his voice, saying. “Let me think about it.” Only that particular construction company was capable of handling the job at the moment. If they dropped out, the construction progress would be disrupted. “Alright, but you better think it through. A decision like this can’t be made on impulse,” the head contractor left Stephen with one last advice. After that, Stephen and the mayor left.

“Stephen, what do you think about Snow?” Frightened, Snow’s hand trembled and accidentally spilled some wine on Stephen’s pants. “I’m so sorry!” Snow grabbed a napkin, intending to wipe it off when Stephen said, “It’s okay.” At the same time, he instinctively grabbed her hand, and when they touched, both of them froze. “What’s going on here?” Oliver’s voice brought them back to reality. “Snow, you’re so careless! Where are your manners?” Snow pulled her hand away, her head lowered. “I didn’t mean it.” “Yeah, it’s fine. She didn’t mean it,” Stephen swiftly said. “Well, don’t just stand there. Thank him, Snow.” “Thank you, Stephen,” Snow whispered an apology. Stephen’s heart raced as he stared at her.“Stephen, back to my question, what do you think of Snow?” “Snow’s a great girl,” Stephen replied, suddenly pulling his gaze away from Snow. “Haha!” Oliver burst out laughing while Snow quickly returned to her seat after filling Stephen’s wine glass.Stephen then

At the same time, they also analyzed the project of the water stadium to maximize their profit gains. “We can’t slack off on this project either. If things go wrong, we won’t have a good excuse to give.” Soon, they came up with a schedule for the construction. Oliver gave Stephen a call and said, “After meticulous calculations, the water stadium will cost at least three billion.” “Three billion?” Stephen was surprised by the astronomical figure. The previous stadium cost just over a billion, but now it was more than double that to build it on water. “Three billion is just an initial calculation. We might have to increase the budget as it goes. The time frame is too short, after all. “We’ll need to work four shifts and use the best materials and equipment,” Oliver explained. Stephen understood a month was indeed a tight schedule, but it would all be worth it. If the water stadium could be completed in time, the money invested would ensure huge returns. “Provide me with
