All Chapters of The Guardian's Return: Chapter 461 - Chapter 470

Stephen stared at Ethan in shock. Despite increasing surveillance on him, Ethan managed to leave the mountain."How did you manage to come down here?"Ethan gave a faint smile. "Did you really think you could keep me confined? Even if I couldn't leave on my own, I have many ways to communicate with you through others."Stephen gulped hard. Every time he saw Ethan, he felt unsettled, as if he were sitting in a small, rocking boat stranded on an endless ocean.He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. He was the son of the Quinns from Metropolis, a man of noble birth and one of the most promising among his generation. How could he show fear and nervousness in front of someone his own age?"Why did you leave?" Stephen asked. "Did you know Jeremy Davis?""You could say that," Ethan replied. "He came to see me twice.""What?" Stephen was surprised. As far as he knew, Jeremy was born and raised in Metropolis and had rarely left the capital, let alone visited Riveria. He likely

His cry brought many people running, and Stephen was quickly rushed to the hospital.After examination, the doctors concluded that Stephen was suffering from mental exhaustion and would recover with proper rest.Nolan was not convinced. Having been through similar experiences, he knew Stephen must have gone through something devastating. If Stephen was not mentally strong enough, they might find Stephen's body cold and lifeless tomorrow.Nolan, though, did not want Stephen to die. He had never met someone so incompetent, and if Stephen died, whoever replaced him might be sharper, which would spell trouble for Nolan. However, beyond all that, what scared him the most was Ethan. If Stephen died and Ethan returned, they would be finished!Nolan quickly made a video call to Simon with Stephen's phone, showing him his son's condition.Simon was shocked to see Stephen's state. "What happened? I'll be right there!"He also immediately called Rachel, urging her to head to Hill City to ta

Nolan trembled, saying nervously, "Evidence? That's impossible!"He had watched Stephen throw the evidence into the river himself. Moreover, between Jeremy posting everything online and his arrest, there had not been enough time for Jeremy to give Ethan any evidence.Ethan slowly took out a phone and placed it gently on the table. A recording played from the phone.The moment Nolan heard the first sentence, he froze. It was his conversation with Rory in the car after Rory's first deal with Jeremy. The recording did not only confirm the successful transaction, but it also included Nolan praising Rory. If that got out, he’s life would be over!"How do you have this recording?" Nolan could not maintain his facade anymore. "Even Jeremy didn't manage to get his hands on this."He truly thought he had won against Ethan and managed to get the upper hand However, reality had given him a rude awakening.Won? He had been under Ethan's control the entire time! One move from Ethan could dest

“Give me back my company! And, you will also help me get my men out!” the South Regent said to Nolan. Nolan refused to help, but when he saw the phone in the South Regent’s hand, he had no other choice but to agree. “Fine, but you have to give me the phone,” he said in a low voice. The South Regent chuckled. “I know what you’re thinking. I can’t give you the phone.” Nolan said through gritted teeth, “Are you going to hold on to it and use it against me at any time?” The South Regent pushed the phone back to Ethan, saying, “Lord Rivers, I’ll have to trouble you to hold on to that for now.” Then, he turned back to Nolan and said, “Now that Lord Rivers has the phone, is there anything else you’d like to say?” Nolan fell silent. With Ethan holding onto the evidence, there was nothing he could say. The South Regent could no longer threaten him, but it also meant he had to hold on to his promise. The South Regent smiled at Nolan’s silence and said, “It’s a deal.” Nolan want

Stephen had been having nightmares. In his sleep, he found himself back in the room where Jeremy was executed. However, the person lying in the bed kept changing. Sometimes it was Snow or George, and other times he was Julius. All Stephen could do was watch as each one of them died in front of him, and the one giving the execution order was him.He saw their faces clearly in the last moments—full of regret, disappointment, and despair. He wanted to look away, but he could not. Once the drugs wore off, he woke up with his forehead glistening with sweat. The ward was quiet. Slowly, he sat himself up. That was when he noticed someone beside him. He turned to look and was shocked by what he saw. It was Jeremy, dead and covered in blood and mud, crawling towards him. Panicked, Stephen fell off the bed and crashed onto the floor. The sound startled Rachel awake, and she looked up to see Stephen on the floor. “What happened?” She quickly went up to him, trying to help him. “Don’t c
