All Chapters of The Guardian's Return: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

“Oh, now I remember!” Brandon said with a smile. “I forgot about it all after taking a nap.” Eric slammed his hands on the table when he heard Brandon dozing off again. Brandon’s smile remained wide and bright because he was unafraid of Eric. “Commander, calm down. We’re all farmers in the town. It’s normal for us to take naps.” Eric refused to take the excuse for an answer. Even if Brandon did take a nap, he should not have left Eric in the sun for hours. “Make me some tea,” Eric barked, not even trying to be polite. Back when he visited with the old commander, tea would be served automatically, without needing to be requested. Now that he came alone and saw no one taking the initiative to serve him, he had to speak up. Brandon glanced at Sky, who quickly got the message and went off to make tea. Brandon then asked Eric, “Commander, what brings you here alone? Where are the other two? Did they run away because Ethan got arrested?” “Nonsense!” Eric rolled his eyes at Br

Could a mere farmer earn that much? In that case, how much did Brandon, the mayor of Lytton, make in a month? It also meant Lytton was not just a small town but a massive corporation! “Commander, if you join us, we can at least give you 500 thousand dollars a month.” Eric gasped in shock. 500 thousand a month was an astronomical amount of money to him. However, knowing the shady deals that Lytton conducted, such as smuggling, illegal immigration, and even selling and producing firearms, he hesitated. Seeing the hesitation in his expression, Brandon smiled and said, “Don’t worry. I want you to join us, not for you to work for us. You’re still the police commander, but I need you to cover us. “Of course, we won’t put you in a difficult situation either. If you want to turn in a few men just to shut your superior up, I can give you a few men to meet your quota. It’s a win-win situation for you and me.” Eric had no reason to reject Brandon’s suggestion.“Fine. I’ll join you gu

The men he promoted were capable individuals who devoted their lives to serving the people. Those who Ethan oppressed were capable as well, but they possessed more issues, mostly attitude problems. Now Stephen and the others had gotten rid of the capable ones and replaced them with timebombs. As for how Eric solved the case in half a day, Ethan knew what happened when he heard about it. The town of Lytton must have done it again, and this time, Eric had banded together with Brandon. Soon, North Hill City would see disaster befalling. However, Ethan did not want to make his thoughts verbal because that had nothing to do with him anymore. They could do whatever they liked. If Riveria was no more, he could leave the place or even the country. He had a lot of backup plans. Ethan looked at Stephen and said softly, “Stupid.” Stephen was stunned. He did not expect Ethan to call him stupid in his face!“What do you mean by that?” He got up and stared at Ethan. “Just you wait. Under

Since the mayor of North Hill City was from the town of Lytton, the townspeople could do whatever they wanted without any scruples. Many illegal businesses had sprung out from the dark corners in less than a week. Some small companies were even raided by thugs who destroyed their officers and stores. Eric and his men arrived and arrested some of the thugs, but in less than a day, the arrested thugs would appear somewhere else, raiding and destroying other people’s properties. In addition to the casinos and moneylenders, the whole city plunged into chaos. While more than a dozen small companies were forced to close down, the medium-sized companies decided to leave North Hill City overnight. Some of the investors wanted out as well. All the chaos happened because of Lytton’s operating casinos, moneylenders, and even smugglers, forcing some other companies to join their illegal businesses. If the other companies refused, the thugs would destroy their officers and properties. The

Stephen then explained the situation in North Hill City, clarifying that the city was in chaos because the remaining forces that used to work under Ethan had decided to make their last stand and challenge the authorities. Fortunately, with the support of Lytton, the mayor, Shawn, and the police commander, Eric, were eliminating the remaining forces for good. Even though many businesses were forced to close down and investors had left the market, Stephen believed the investors would return as long as the city returned to normal. North Hill City was not the most advanced city in the country, but as a key part of Riveria, it had massive potential to grow. Anyone who left now would regret it later when they would have to fight tooth and nail to re-enter.After learning about the truth, George grunted coldly. “So it’s Ethan again. Hmph! To be pulling out these underhanded moves? I bet he’s getting desperate.” Stephen nodded in agreement. “He is. He wants to drag us down with him, but
