Chapter 751

“Mr. Wood, please come back with us. Stephen needs your help now.”Those words were painful for Hugo to hear. He already felt immense guilt for helping Stephen before, but they touched a sore spot and asked him to help Stephen again.“I’m not going. I can’t help him.”The staff was stunned. They had heard that Hugo had a good relationship with Stephen, but he was being so cold now.“Stephen really needs you.”Hugo took a deep breath and said, “I refuse. I can’t help him. I’m a cripple now, and my head was injured. I’ve lost my memory. I don’t know how to save anyone anymore!”Everyone was dumbfounded by his words.In fact, he was lying. He had not lost his memory. It was just an excuse he made up to avoid helping them.Since he lost his memory, the others were helpless and planned to take him back to the city for treatment. After all, his hands, legs, and head were wrapped with bandages.Hugo refused again. “I’m fine now.”The staff had no choice but to return empty-handed an

Chapter 752

When Simon first took interest in Riveria, he thought that if Stephen was sent here, the GDP would reach 20 trillion in just five years.However, after imprisoning Ethan, Riveria’s economy collapsed. Now, it was less than half of what it was before.Simon thought that it was Stephen’s fault because he was too young and lacked management experience. It was normal for him to make mistakes. Once Simon took over, everything would be fine.However, now that Stephen had broken down in a hospital bed and all the responsibilities fell on Simon, he realized that the problems in Riveria were never simple.In the past, Ethan solved everything alone, so they had the illusion that managing Riveria was easy and that anyone could do it.Now that Stephen was in a hospital bed and George was in prison, Simon felt isolated.With so many problems pressing down on him, he began to wonder if he could really manage Riveria well. He thought of Ethan again.“Riveria was even more chaotic before. How di

Recently, the Quinn family had already spent over 10 billion. Although the Quinns were one of the largest families, they could not afford to spend like this.After hanging up the phone, Simon felt that spending money to get the photo deleted was humiliating.“I can’t let anyone find out about this or the family’s reputation will be completely ruined.”He felt that the issue of Stephen’s photo could be considered over and started to deal with the next matter.The most important thing now was to provide an explanation for him swearing on his life that there were no more terrorists. He had just made the promise when Stephen was kidnapped less than a month later. It was not just a challenge to him but a crisp slap across his face.Simon called a meeting and asked everyone to discuss how to handle this.At 10 p.m., the meeting room was filled with people.Simon’s expression was grave. “I’m sure you all know that Stephen was kidnapped.”Everyone exchanged looks, not understanding why

Simon was also a little tempted. This solution was much more feasible and did not require money, but on second thought, it was the same as stubbornly refusing to admit the truth.After all, some dangerous individuals had escaped before the operation. If they came forward to speak out, it would only be pointless and even more humiliating if Simon denied it to the end.“No.” Simon said, “That won’t work either. Think of something else!”The group was feeling a bit upset now. It was already past midnight, and they had thought of two plans, but both were rejected.“How about tomorrow?”“No. Come up with a solution tonight.” Simon’s tone was resolute.They were not the ones affected, so they did not feel pressured. Simon felt so anxious that he could not eat or sleep, but these people only cared about going home to sleep!“Hurry up and think of something.”At 1 a.m., many people were struggling to stay awake. It was hard enough trying to stay awake, let alone come up with a solution

When everyone heard that everything was a foreign conspiracy, they were furious.Adding to the previous ridicule from abroad, people immediately scolded them online.Even if the people abroad claimed that the incident had nothing to do with them, no one believed them. Everyone was sure that they were causing trouble.Many people also began to praise Stephen.“Stephen’s sacrifice and dedication are truly immense. He’s a true hero.”“People should make a movie about him!”“Stephen’s selflessness and fearlessness is something we should all learn from.”Simon looked at the messages and smiled for the first time in a while.The pressure on him these past few days had been enormous, making him feel like he could not breathe. Fortunately, everything was gradually being resolved now. Although not all the problems had been solved, at least he could rest for a while.He had not slept for a whole day and night. When he saw the public opinion about him and Stephen improving, he returned t

“I’m a businessman,” said the South Regent.“I don’t have anything to sell to you,” said Hugo, “and I don’t know you, so you may leave now.”The South Regent was not in a hurry and said slowly, “Do you hate Stephen Quinn?”Hugo froze.Did he hate Stephen? He did. He had become a cripple because of Stephen, but more than that, he was angry. It was all Stephen’s fault that Breeze City became what it was now.“Why are you asking?” Hugo asked cautiously.“I have some dirt on Stephen,” said the South Regent. “With it, you can make Stephen pay the price.”From what the South Regent knew, Hugo was Stephen’s friend, and he had been captured because of Stephen. Thus, Stephen felt guilty toward Hugo.If Hugo wanted revenge on Stephen, it would hurt him psychologically far more than his physical wounds.Stephen was already in a fragile state. If he suffered betrayal as well, he definitely would not be able to handle it.Hugo understood now. “You want me to go against Stephen?”The Sout

It was as if he was standing in the position Ethan had been in years ago. However, the South Regent knew very well that it was an illusion. He had always been chasing after Ethan, but he was still nowhere near catching up.“Let’s go.”The car started and left.The little girl returned home and happily told Hugo about the three hundred dollars that the South Regent had given her. “Your friend is so nice.”Hugo was slightly stunned. He did not understand what the South Regent was doing.That night, the South Regent arrived in front of Ethan’s villa.“Lord Rivers, I hope you don’t mind me joining you for dinner.” The South Regent was still carrying the vegetables the little girl had picked. “I brought my own chef and ingredients, so I won’t be freeloading.”However, his purpose for coming here was not just to eat.During the meal, he asked Ethan, “How should we handle Hugo Wood?”He knew that Hugo had once disrespected Ethan.Ethan took a bite of his food and said, “Whatever you

Chapter 758

When Simon learned that Stephen was recovering well, the last major worry in his heart finally lifted. Now, he could report the good news to headquarters.“All the issues have been resolved. Breeze City is stabilizing, and the economy has stopped declining.”Although Breeze City’s GDP had dropped to less than 100 billion, Simon remained hopeful about the future.As the sayings go, ‘what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger’, ‘what goes up must come down’, ‘fortune and misfortune go hand in hand’, and ‘the rainbow comes after the rain’. After weathering the greatest storms, good days were bound to come.The people at headquarters were also quite pleased to hear the news.“Simon is indeed impressive. The issue this time was foreign interference.”“Even though there was sabotage, Simon still handled the situation perfectly. He did a great job.”“It’s a shame for Stephen though. He was so brave, but he was treated like this. It’s heartbreaking.”“Yeah, I hope he can overcome this hu

Everyone thought that he was a hero. Despite enduring countless hardships and suffering torment, he was still able to recover quickly!Victor took out the recording file.Stephen had drunk a bit and was slightly tipsy. Just then, his phone rang. He glanced at the screen and saw that it was from an unknown caller.However, he did not think much about it and answered the call. A cold and unfamiliar voice came through. “You bounced back quite quickly.”“Who are you?” Stephen was confused.“That’s not important. What matters is this conversation.”The recording started, and Stephen froze. The tipsy feeling he had instantly vanished. He recognized that voice. It was his father, Simon’s voice!He was conspiring with someone on how to frame the foreign parties and completely absolve himself of any blame.Stephen had already experienced the collapse of many cities and deeply understood the consequences. So many people supported him and Simon online and even argued with the foreign part

Click. The call ended.Stephen shuddered and did not dare to hesitate, urgently shouting, “Everyone, take your phones out and hand them to the receptionist!”He understood the other party’s plan. It was to prevent him from using his phone to call for help. Although he could send someone out for backup, the countdown was only three minutes!There were only two things he could do.First, find all the remote detonators as quickly as possible. Second, evacuate the people in the supermarket.Stephen took the decoding map while saying to one person, “Take your ID and go to the supermarket across the street to evacuate the people. Ten bombs will explode in three minutes.”The guards were shocked.Stephen continued, “The rest of you will decode the clues with me. There are ten remote detonators in this hotel. We need to find them all and deactivate the bombs.”The receptionist was also stunned. “I’ll return your phones!”She had no idea about the situation. It was only after Stephen e
