The Guardian's Return/Old Pumpkin
Tyler said, “With our family’s wealth, we must start from Hill City to make a comeback.” Edward answered, “I know. I’ve been thinking about how we can get more benefits from Hill City.” He then texted Nolan, asking for a list of recent happenings in the city. When they returned to Breeze City, they got an update from Nolan, and Edward went through everything Stephen had done recently. “Subsidies were distributed in layers. By the time they reached the villagers, there wasn’t much left. We might be able to use this to our advantage. “He also subcontracted the mining rights of the quarry to the South Regent. We can’t let him get away with this too easily.” “Then, there’s the fundraiser. There’s a lot of room for us to work with.” In just a few minutes, Edward came up with a plan. “We’ll start with the South Regent first.”He planned to sabotage the quarry as it would not only hurt the South Regent’s profits but also create enough distraction for Edward to move in and imp

With a life lost, the situation had become far more complicated and serious. To make matters worse, most of the workers at the quarry were unhappy with their wages. Nolan seized the chance to tell Stephen that he should take back the mining rights if the South Regent’s company could not settle the problem and compensate the injured and deceased workers.Stephen agreed and immediately went to the quarry manager to deliver the message.The manager was displeased by the decision. The miners who survived wanted around 300 thousand dollars in compensation, and the family of the deceased demanded at least 800 thousand dollars. It was not that the company could not offer it, but it was not worth it. “I’ll have to check with my boss.” The manager then contacted the South Regent to get further instructions.The South Regent was made aware of the incident, and after a quick consideration, he said, “Pay them. Let’s keep things quiet for now. After that, launch an investigation to find ou

Stephen was at a loss for words. No matter what, he was the one who hurt Andy. It was his fault Andy was hunted beyond the borders and forced to witness the death of someone who had once saved his life. Stephen sighed helplessly. “How much?” “At least 20 million.” Stephen then thought of the 120 million in funds that he had just received. “Fine, but what are you going to do with the money?” “I want to change people’s lives for the better,” Andy said without a second thought, his tone firm. Stephen handed over 20 million, which left him with just 100 million. He believed it was enough if he could spend it wisely. After getting the money, Andy turned to leave. Stephen called out, “You’re leaving already? Do you want to have lunch?” “No. There’s nothing left for us to talk about,” Andy said without turning back. His words cut through Stephen like a knife, leaving him feeling as though his heart had been shredded to pieces. He never would have thought that the friend he g

In the end, Stephen had no choice but to hand all 70 million in donations to Nolan, trusting him to fix the places affected by the forest fire. Nolan smiled. “Don’t worry. I will do my best.” Now, he received a total of 120 million from Stephen through multiple parties. The Spencers were in desperate need of money, so there was no way he would spend all the money on helping people. He distributed 50 million worth of compensation and let his men pocket 20 million from it. Then, he took 70 million to help the places affected by the forest fire and skimmed another 30 million for his people. He then sent his men overseas to launder the money through the Spencers’ shady network, successfully transferring all the money to the family. After the transaction was complete, the men were taken out by the Spencers to ensure that they would never be seen again. With that, Nolan distanced himself completely from whatever shady transactions that happened. Even if something went wrong, no one

Nolan reacted immediately. With one swift motion, he flipped the table at the masked men and grabbed Stephen before jumping through the window. Luckily, they were on the second floor, which was not that high of a jump. Nolan had been through enough tough scrapes in the past—most of them thanks to Ethan—to know how to handle a jump like that, so he landed on his feet without a hitch. Stephen, on the other hand, was not so unlucky. When he hit the ground, he lost his balance and crashed down hard, tumbling over twice before coming to a stop. He was covered in dirt, and his arms and leg throbbed in pain, but he had no time to check his injuries. Nolan pulled him up. “Come on!” The two of them ran towards the crowd. By the time the hitmen got to the window, they were already shuttling among the crowd. “They’re quick.” The hitmen did not shoot due to the distance and the overwhelming crowd on the street. They were not confident enough to take the shot. More importantly, they wer

The fire in the underground parking attracted all the security, and many staff ran to watch the scene. At that moment, a few low-profiled hitmen dressed in ordinary clothes walked into the company. Ten minutes later, a blood-curdling scream rang out before the company’s CEO fell from the sky and smashed into the ground, dead on impact. The incident alarmed Nolan. He immediately ordered his men to investigate it, and the results came back quickly. It was those few hitmen who had failed to kill him!They purposely set a fire in the underground parking, using the opportunity where everyone’s attention was diverted to go upstairs and throw the CEO off the rooftop. When Stephen heard about that, his face darkened. How dare those people bear guns and murder in broad daylight and in such a brutal manner!“We must catch them!”Hill City was locked down. Every car leaving the city was thoroughly inspected to ensure the hitmen would not escape. Then, the authorities issued a high bounty

They shut down the South Regent’s business, and now the South Regent was willing to sacrifice a subordinate to drag the Spencers’ business down with them. The hitman was taken away, and he provided more incriminating information about the Spencers’ business. He even mentioned that Ethan had punished the Spencers in the past. Nolan realized things were getting out of hand, so he quickly called his father, Edward. Edward merely said, “Kill him.”What happened three years ago was a dark part of their history that must never be exposed, and Stephen could never know about it. As such, Nolan managed to get his hands on some poison and used it to kill the hitman. Stephen had wanted to interrogate the hitman further, but he soon heard about the hitman’s death. “How did he die? Poison? How could he be poisoned here?”The hitman revealed a lot of startling information, but Stephen had not verified it yet. Now, the sudden poisoning left him confused and in doubt. Was the information

Evidence? The hitman truly had none now. Everyone involved was clean and efficient in their moves, leaving no traces behind.“But me being here can be considered evidence,” The hitman said, “This time, I’m turning myself in.”Stephen was taken aback. The hitman, who had fooled him several times, was turning himself in now to expose the Spencers? Could everything he said be true?Stephen then took out his phone and dialed the police to arrest the hitman. However, the hitman had no plans to escape. His last order was to surrender and take the Spencers down with him. He remained seated on the couch. “Mr. Quinn, don’t be fooled again.”His words made Stephen pause. For a split second, Julius’ face flashed across his mind. “Actually, I do sympathize and pity you.” The hitman said, “I’ve had many chances to kill you, but we never did. You should know we’re not your true enemy.”“Nonsense!” Stephen snapped, not believing a word. “We’re enemies by circumstance, nothing more!”“It’s u

Stephen clenched his fists. “I haven’t said anything yet, so how do you know?”“Go ahead and ask.”“Three years ago, did the Spencers try to control Breeze City and even conspire with foreign forces?”At that question, cold sweat trickled down Nolan’s forehead. Could Stephen have found out about what the Spencers did three years ago?‘No!’ Nolan’s mind raced. ‘He doesn’t know the full story yet. He’s unsure, so he’s asking Ethan.’He looked at Ethan nervously. Now, the Spencers’ future was in Ethan’s hands again!Ethan glanced at them, his expression calm. “I don’t know.”Stephen gritted his teeth. He could tell from Ethan’s reaction that the man definitely knew something. “You know!”Ethan smiled. “Well, I’m not going to say.”Stephen could barely suppress the urge to hit Ethan, but he restrained himself. “Ethan, you’re aiding and abetting a criminal if you withhold information. But if you speak up, you might gain merit for it.”Ethan looked down at him. “I’m already here.

Even if Stephen tried his best to persuade him today, Ethan would never help him. Besides, Stephen did not have a silver tongue. Stephen raised his head and looked at Ethan. “You sure are heartless.”“There was never any bond between us, so don’t talk about being heartless. Don’t think too highly of yourself.”Stephen was fuming. He had given Ethan an opportunity to back down, but Ethan refused to help, showing him no respect at all.Nolan watched the exchange from the side. The hatred he once held for Ethan had now turned into gratitude. If Stephen was not there and Ethan was not on the second floor, he might have rushed up to hug Ethan then and there.An enemy? No, Ethan was their savior! Three years ago, the Spencers had fallen because of Ethan. Yet now, thanks to him, they had the chance to rise again and surpass their former glory!At the same time, Nolan felt a little sorry for Stephen. Although he did not know what Stephen had done to offend Ethan, choosing to provoke E
