Chapter 411

When Nolan learned he was being transferred to another city, his first thought was that it must be Ethan’s plan. After all, Ethan had left quite a psychological impact on him."That can't be right?" Nolan's brother, Tyler, frowned and said, "Ethan's been in prison without any news for a while now. Besides, Stephen Quinn is running Riveria now, not Ethan."Their father, Edward, furrowed his brow too. Though advanced in age, his mind was still sharp. Nolan had been deputy mayor for twenty years, but Edward had always been the strategist when problems arose."You don't understand," Edward said. "Just because he's disappeared doesn't mean he's dead. Perhaps Stephen Quinn's vulnerabilities and what happened in those other cities were all part of Ethan's plans."He knew about Ethan's arrest but could not tell if that was part of Ethan's plan or if the man had truly been captured.Edward's voice grew stern. "Don't forget what happened to your brother and his family."Tyler fell silent.

Chapter 412

That was when Tyler understood why Ethan was so bold to come in alone."L-Let's stay civilized," Tyler quickly stuttered.Just then, Edward's stern voice came from nearby. "Apologize to the official immediately!"Ethan glanced sideways to see Edward walking out with his cane.Edward took the main seat and scrutinized Ethan closely. "You look unfamiliar. You're not from Breeze City, are you? May I know your name?""Ethan Rivers."Edward smiled. "That’s a good name, and you've accomplished so much at such a young age—far more than my three sons, at least."Ethan replied flatly, "If you want to flatter me, I can give you a pen and some paper. You can write it all down there."Edward felt humiliated. He had been trying to butter Ethan up to lower the latter’s guard, but it clearly was to no avail."What's your real purpose for coming here? To arrest us? Or something else?""Riveria needs both money and manpower right now," Ethan said.Edward narrowed his eyes. "So are you here f

Chapter 413

Using the photos provided, the South Regent searched among the people they had rescued and found the two bodies among the pile of corpses."Seeing as they’re only corpses, I'll give you a fifty percent discount—50,000 dollars each."Edward and Tyler stared at the bodies, thunderstruck."You killed them!""I don't even know you people. Why would I kill them?" the South Regent said. "But I can find out how they died."With that, he started a video call to ask his men about how Max’s wife and son had died."When we found the woman and child, they were already dead. A man was kneeling beside them with a gun, acting deranged. He kept trying to shoot himself, but the gun was empty."The South Regent showed Max's photo to his subordinate. "Was this the man?""Yes, that's him."After having the gun and bullets examined, it was confirmed that Max had killed his wife and son himself."That's impossible!" Edward and Tyler could hardly believe it."You think I’m lying?" the South Regent

Chapter 414

Edward felt dizzy. His whole body trembled as he explained Ethan's plan to the South Regent."First, he got Max to take his family out. Then, he had that organization trap everyone, intending to use them to eliminate Max. After that, he contacted you to eliminate the organization before coming to us, stalling us, and extracting the benefits."Edward had some theories as to how Ethan had lured Max's family out. Ethan had either convinced Max to bring them directly or deceived Max's wife into taking their child to search for him after he left. Either way, Max's family was part of Ethan's schemes from the very start.As a result of Ethan’s machinations, Max was forced to kill his wife and son to spare them from torture at the hands of his enemies. However, he ran out of bullets before he could turn the gun on himself. Just as he waited for his enemies to kill him, the South Regent's men had arrived!In the end, Max survived. He even watched as the others trapped with him, waiting for

Chapter 415

Stephen's gaze was stern. "Why are you looking for him?"Nolan's question put Stephen on alert. Though he disliked Ethan, he had to admit Ethan was an excellent judge of character. If Ethan had previously targeted Nolan, something was probably wrong with Nolan, and he would need to reassess the man.Sensing Stephen's suspicion and worried that it might be related to Ethan, Nolan quickly spoke in Ethan's favor. "He helped me a lot in the past. I just wanted to thank him in person."Hearing that, Stephen relaxed."There’s no need to look for him," he said. "Ethan Rivers is corrupt and in prison now. He'll be in there for life."Nolan was stunned to hear Ethan was really in prison and locked up for life. Although he had heard such rumors before, hearing it directly from Stephen was a great shock."Is that really true? He didn't seem like someone who would be corrupt."Stephen glanced at him. "I have no reason to lie to you. Enough about that. I brought you here to be mayor to solve

Stephen started clapping. That was an idea that he had never thought of. Although his negligence caused the wildfire, having everyone cover for him to solve the problem was perfect. If he could just do it better, he could even save his own image. “Good idea!” The others got up and applauded the idea as well. “Mayor Nolan is indeed a wise person! He has a lot of good ideas in his pockets!” “We still have so much to learn from him!” “When I head home later, I’ll study his suggested ideas! It’s great!” They flattered Nolan ceaselessly. “Hmph!” Stephen scoffed. “I wanted you guys to think of a solution, but none of you could come up with anything. Now, we have to rely on Nolan.” Nolan smiled. “You’re giving me too much credit. It’s my job, really. I’m just glad I could help. It’s not as amazing as you’re making it sound.” “Alright, we’ll go with these plans for now. Meeting adjourned,” Stephen replied.He strongly believed Nolan’s idea had helped him solve his most urg

Chapter 417

Stephen subcontracted the mining rights for the Stone Village quarry, and in the end, the South Regent’s company got the rights. He was reluctant to hand over the rights to the South Regent, the price the South Regent offered was too generous to refuse—it was enough to repair the freeway. With two major issues now off his plate, Stephen felt a weight lift from his shoulders. It was time to tackle the third problem. Stephen got Nolan to craft a powerful, emotionally stirring speech and then selected a sunny day to hold a fundraising event. At the event, he stood before the crowd, delivering the speech he had prepared. Then, he let the media do their part, broadcasting his speech alongside the fundraising information.Julius’ tragedy had moved a lot of people in Hill City, as well as those following the news online. Now, when Stephen told the crowd that restoring peace and preserving the city's natural beauty had always been Julius’ dream, people were deeply touched. In less than

Chapter 418

Edward and Tyler were eager to meet Ethan again. For the past three years, they had lived under the shadow of Ethan, haunted by the fear of his return. In every encounter with Ethan, they had lost every single time, and each time, Ethan would mock them, calling them naive, shallow, ignorant, and stupid. “If thinking is the proof of being alive, I have a hard time determining whether you two are even alive. Can’t figure out why you lost? Well, in that case, I suggest you should just ram your head into the wall.” Just recalling what Ethan said to them back then sent chills down Edward’s and Tyler’s spines. Their lives were perfect before Ethan appeared, their lives had been smooth sailing, and every plan had gone exactly how they wanted. However, then Ethan appeared in their lives. “We’ve been waiting for this day for three years, and he has finally fallen! Today will be the day our family rises again!” With that, the two of them took a plane to Riveria immediately. At dawn

Chapter 419

Edward took a deep breath and said, “We’ve been caught. What else can we do? Let’s just go in.” Together, they turned around and entered the mansion. When they arrived, they were confident they could finally take revenge on Ethan. They were sure they would have a chance to humiliate him this time, but now, neither of them could manage a smile. They stiffly went up to Ethan and sat opposite him at the table, feeling uneasy as they adjusted their postures. Ethan pushed some bread over to them. “Care for a bite?” Edward did not touch the bread. “Is this going to be our last meal?” Ethan chuckled. “It’s your honor to have me serve you your last meal.” The two of them were silenced knowing it might really be their last meal on earth! Ethan saw the looks on their faces and knew exactly what they were thinking. “Don’t overthink it. I’m no longer in charge of Riveria. Now, I’m just a convict locked up in Drakthorn Ridge.” Edward’s and Tyler’s heads shot up in disbelief.

Chapter 420

“No. You guys are wasting your time trying to pull me into this. I could do what you’re asking on my own. Working with you will only result in a loss to me,” Ethan said. Edward was rendered speechless. Ethan’s words stung him. He had always considered himself a man with vision, someone strategic and wise, but there was Ethan, dismissing him so easily. Worse yet, he could not argue back because he knew Ethan was far more capable than himself. “Rather than wasting time on me, why don’t you figure out a way to deal with the South Regent? He has strengthened his foundation in two cities already.” Edward heaved a long sigh. “Sigh. You’re stirring the pot again.” He believed Ethan was subtly hinting at him to deal with the South Regent. However, if they did, both sides would only end up in a bitter struggle with no winners. Edward sighed because he knew he could not do anything to change the situation. They and the South Regent were destined to be enemies, unlikely to be allies,
