Chapter 731

Two days passed, and everything in Breeze City returned to normal. There were no longer any large gatherings on the streets, and there were no incidents of robberies or fights.Everything progressed in the best possible direction.The Metropolis headquarters had been closely monitoring the situation in Breeze City. Seeing the situation improve day by day, which was a stark contrast from the chaos just a few days ago, they all realized that it was an excellent chance for publicity.Over the past half year, Riveria’s economy had been in constant decline, leaving everyone deeply disappointed.However, Simon managed to restore order to the chaos in Breeze City in just a day. Everything was improving.If they publicized this, they could rekindle everyone’s confidence. That way, the voices doubting Simon and Stephen would grow smaller, and people would be more willing to cooperate with their future governance.Headquarters immediately contacted Simon and told him to use this opportunit

Simon and Stephen did not expect the speech to be so well received.Now, if they avoided causing any major scandals and kept their mistakes minor, people would stop criticizing them. In fact, the public might even defend them against said criticism!Headquarters also received a recording of the speech and helped Simon and Stephen spread it. They not only had the speech aired on major news outlets but even used it to counter ridicule from abroad.“Do your leaders there dare to stake their lives on their promises? I bet they don’t!”With headquarters backing them, many people also used recordings and screenshots of the speech to confront foreign critics online. Some even created comparative infographics.When similar incidents happened abroad, their leaders fled wretchedly and took weeks to resolve the threats. In the end, there was also no apologies, no consolation, and certainly no compensation.In contrast, Simon and Stephen publicly pledged three billion dollars and guaranteed

Stephen could not hide his excitement and told Hugo the good news. “I found Snow.”“What?” Hugo was first shocked, then became excited as well. “What are we waiting for? Let’s bring her back right away!”During this period, Hugo had been staying close to Stephen to provide psychological treatment.It was only thanks to Hugo’s help and the recent streak of good news that Stephen’s mental state significantly improved. The white hairs on his head also seemed to have lessened.It was the morning, and Simon had already left. In his excitement, Stephen did not bother to contact Simon and took Hugo along to find Snow.They followed the GPS and soon arrived at the outskirts of Emerald Springs. It was a small town, and they soon found the house described in the message.It was a little cement house with an open door, indicating that there was someone inside.Outside the house was a fence made of wooden stakes, enclosing two small vegetable patches where cabbages were growing. To the side

Hugo was completely caught off guard. He held his nose as he fell to the ground, instinctively opening his mouth to yell.However, the men were clearly prepared, and someone kicked him in the face before he had the chance to shout.The kick was so strong that Hugo almost blacked out on the spot. Another man crouched down and stuffed a cloth into Hugo’s mouth.“You really deserve to die!”The men glared hatefully at Hugo.“Of all people to help, you chose Stephen Quinn? Will you do anything for money? You’re a disgrace!”They despised Hugo. Why did Hugo help to treat Stephen? Was it so Stephen could hurt even more people once he recovered?If Stephen’s state improved, so would his life, but what about the people he had harmed?“If you wanted to help Stephen, you should’ve helped all the people he harmed first, but you didn’t! You’re an accomplice!”One man kicked Hugo in the stomach, leaving him powerless. Then, they grabbed his arm and dragged him to the house.The group thou

There was indeed a camera observing Stephen from a peephole at the door. They could also hear his voice, but no one cared.They had reached the point of no return after Stephen completely destroyed their lives. They had nothing to lose anymore, so they were not afraid of anything. Now, they just wanted to repay their suffering to Stephen a hundredfold.Stephen stood for a while, but no one came. Feeling tired, he slowly sat down on the wooden plank which had some straw scattered on it. Looking at the length of the plank again, Stephen guessed that it was his sleeping spot.He clenched his fists. They wanted him to sleep on a plank and use straw as his bedding?“Someone, come here! Hurry up and let me out! It won’t be too late if you release me now!”Stephen could not take it anymore. All he wanted was to leave this place, call the team back, and have these people arrested and sentenced to death.However, there was still no response.He glanced at the chains on his wrists and ank

“It’s food! Someone was here!”Stephen’s eyes instantly lit up. He was not abandoned, merely locked up. They were all watching him!“Come out! I’ll give you whatever you want as long as you let me out, be it money or women.”He was used to sleeping on the most luxurious beds. He had never slept on a wooden plank before. His entire body ached after last night. Stephen could not stand the thought of spending another second in this place.However, no matter how much he yelled, no one entered the room.Stephen looked at the food on the floor but did not have any appetite. He was the heir of a wealthy family and was used to meals crafted by nutritionists, top-tier chefs, and premium ingredients.Even the plates he was served on were elegant and exquisite.Who would dare to place his food on the ground? They were treating him like a dog!Stephen stood for a while, then grew tired and sat back down. When his bum began to hurt again, he stood up again. He felt so bored that he decided

No matter how much Stephen shouted, there was no response from the door. He had lost track of time and did not know how long he had been trapped in the room or how long it had been since he had seen another living being.Now, he just wanted someone to talk to. Even if there was no one, he would be happy with a book.However, there was nothing at all.The room was stark white with only the wooden plank and straw being different colors. There was nothing that could divert his attention.It had been 24 hours since Stephen was captured. Outside the room, several people were watching him through the camera. They all felt satisfied when they saw his despair.“He destroyed our lives and ruined our families. Now, we can finally take our revenge.”“We can’t kill him, but we can make his life unbearable.”“He looks hilarious now. Did you record it?”“Don’t worry, we recorded everything. Even if he gets rescued, it won’t be over for him.”The next day, Stephen woke up with a splitting he

Outside the room, everyone could hear Stephen’s voice, but no one cared.“It’s just 60 degrees. He won’t freeze.”“This is what he deserves!”“Lowering the temperature is just the beginning. Next, we’ll douse him with water!”Now, they were using hunger, isolation, bright lights, and cold to torment Stephen. They still had many more methods up their sleeves.Stephen felt it getting increasingly cold. He grabbed the straw on the floor, trying to use it as a makeshift blanket. He even picked up the straw that he used to wipe the wooden plank.However, it did not help. Unable to withstand it anymore, he stuffed the straw into his clothes. The straw itched and prickled his skin, but he did not care. He would freeze to death otherwise.Stephen also picked up the wooden plank and piled it on top of himself for additional insulation, then curled up into a ball. In this state of physical and mental exhaustion, he finally fell asleep again.After an unknown amount of time, he was woken

Why was Stephen’s phone at a garbage plant?Simon immediately sent people to investigate, and they found Stephen and Hugo’s phones at the plant. However, there was nothing else related to the duo.“Where is he?” Simon did not understand. How did Stephen lose his phone? He had been missing for three days already.Simon ordered an investigation into where Stephen last appeared.A few minutes later, he got a report. Stephen was last seen driving to the outskirts with Hugo. After the car left the city, it disappeared without a trace.“They headed to the outskirts and disappeared...” A terrifying suspicion emerged in Simon’s mind.Stephen might already be in danger.“Search for him!” Simon’s expression was grim. “I want to see him, dead or alive!”Many people were sent out to search for Stephen on the outskirts. After two days of effort, they finally found a clue.“I saw this car in Emerald Springs.”Emerald Springs!Simon immediately brought a team to Emerald Springs and gathere

They routed the video through various channels to ensure that its origins could not be traced. Finally, they released the video using a foreign IP address.Once it was uploaded, Victor and the South Regent, as well as other factions’ internet trolls immediately made it go viral. The trolls even began reposting the video within the country so everyone could watch it.[Stephen Quinn Captured and Suffering Torture!]The title alone caught the attention of countless viewers.By now, many people knew about Stephen’s disappearance. Many people in Breeze City were actively searching for him. When this video appeared at such a time with that caption, it immediately became a hot topic.The people who watched the video were stunned. Their expressions darkened, ranging from anger to disbelief, and outrage.“Stephen really was kidnapped! He’s even being tortured!”“He’s lost so much weight. They’re treating him like a stray dog.”“Is that really Stephen? Those criminals deserve to die.”“
