The Guardian's Return/Old Pumpkin
The moment those words were said, Stephen felt like his heart had been shot.Ethan continued, “When I said that you didn’t try hard enough, you said it was because you had no other choice. Now, I’ve given you a solution. What excuse do you have left?”Stephen was shaken to his core. His chest felt tight as if he had been punched hard or even shot. He almost felt like he was about to vomit blood. He lowered his head, saying, “I-I can’t do it.”“Not making a choice is also a choice,” said Ethan. “You’ll continue to cling to your miserable life, let Simon go, and then kill everyone in Breeze City.”“No!” Stephen shouted in panic. “I won’t! I don’t want anyone to get hurt!”Ethan said, “So, you’ll only let harm come to those around you as well as innocent people.”Boom! That statement struck Stephen like a bolt from the blue, leaving him frozen. He did not want anyone to get hurt, but that inadvertently caused the people around him and innocent people to constantly get hurt!Snow,

The incident where Stephen took away their compensation money left a huge impact. Headquarters also ordered Simon to resolve everything quickly and restore stability in Breeze City.However, 2.5 billion was not nearly enough. Simon immediately took another 3 billion from Breeze City for compensation.Although the extra money alleviated a lot of their anger and grievance, it was not enough to eliminate it.After all, they could not forget that Stephen took their money. Furthermore, they had been conned a total of 8 billion, but Simon only compensated them with 5.5 billion. There was still a significant amount unaccounted for.Simon knew that compensating them 5.5 billion would not fully resolve the issue. He wanted to allocate more money, but Breeze City’s current condition made it impossible for him to draw additional funds.Breeze City was running out of money, businesses were withdrawing, unemployment was soaring, and the market was in chaos. The prices for various goods, especi

If there was money left, it might even alleviate Breeze City’s current financial plight. The only downside was that Simon would not make any profit.‘When these issues are resolved, there’ll be plenty of opportunities to make money.’With that thought, Simon immediately made the preparations.‘Now that Stephen isn’t around, things are indeed much simpler.’ He sighed in his heart.How many absurd things did Stephen do while he was around? He publicly admitted his incompetence, got into a scandal, and stirred public resentment. Simon had gone through painstaking efforts to clean up all the problems.“I hope that he’ll reflect and correct all his mistakes while he’s away.”Meanwhile, Stephen was on a flight back to Metropolis. He stared blankly out of the window. His experiences the past six months felt like a dream.Stephen had lived many years, but he had never experienced one where he had lost so much. Friends, brothers, his beloved, money, power—he lost all of them.In the end

When the children laughed and ran away, Stephen simply sighed and said nothing.He prepared to take a shower and go to bed. He was too exhausted for the past half year and forgot what it felt like to sleep in his own home.Just then, someone from the family came to see him. He was an old man with white hair and a cane, but he exuded a powerful presence more intimidating than Simon.Stephen’s head instantly bowed when he saw the old man. “Grandfather.”The person who came was Stephen’s grandfather and Simon’s father, Harrison Quinn.“You still call me your grandfather?” Harrison rebuked. “What have you done in Riveria the past six months? Riveria’s GDP reached 15 trillion and was just shy of 20 trillion, but you managed to make it plummet below a trillion. Are you trying to drive us to our graves?”Stephen did not dare to look at Harrison. He wanted to explain that Riveria was not what everyone thought it was. It was not a peaceful blue sky but a turbulent deep sea. One misstep, a
