All Chapters of The Guardian's Return: Chapter 841 - Chapter 850

The unemployment rate would soar, making it hard for young people to find jobs. Salaries would shrink, welfare benefits would be cut, debt rates would rise, and consumption rate would downgrade...Every aspect of life would be affected, and none of them would be able to escape.Ethan said calmly, “In just a few days, the people of Breeze City will experience the consequences of believing in Stephen.”The internet had elevated Stephen to a pedestal he never should have been at. However, Stephen lacked humility and truly believed he deserved all of this. Once the lies were exposed, he would fall—hard.Ethan said to Hugo, “There’s something I need you to prepare for.”Hugo immediately stood up. “Please tell me, Mr. Rivers. I would do it, even if I have to walk through fire!”Ethan had saved his life, and he was willing to give his life for Ethan.Ethan said, “No need to go that far. You just need to ask him a few questions at the award ceremony.“First, ask him what day Riveria’s

The next day, Simon and Stephen were busy as the commendation ceremony was tomorrow. It was a major event not only for Stephen but for the whole of Riveria.Many business owners saw an opportunity. Since Breeze City was at its lowest economic point, entering at that moment meant enjoying various incentives and gaining Stephen’s favor.Once the commendation ceremony took place, Breeze City, under Stephen’s leadership, would become the center of attention. By then, getting a foothold in Breeze City would no longer be easy since everyone would want a piece of it.Early in the morning, Simon and Stephen started receiving messages from major companies wanting to invest in Breeze City.Simon and Simon were thrilled. They realized they had underestimated the benefits that the commendation ceremony would bring. Businesses were proactively reaching out for collaboration without them having to do it. “Our fates have turned,” said Stephen. “After so many failures, our good days are finally

‘Jason probably doesn’t know that Lily is still alive. That’s why he hates me.’ Stephen thought, ‘If I bring Lily back, Jason would surely thank me.’He imagined the scene of himself holding Lily’s hand and returning her to her family.He was undoubtedly a hero, having contributed significantly to Riveria. Furthermore, he was the heir of the Quinn family and the Grand Marshal’s only successor. With those titles and achievements, bringing the supposedly dead Lily back would make her entire family kneel before him.Even Jason, who had dared to insult him before, would have to lower his head and show him respect.After saying goodbye to everyone, Stephen left.The group sighed as they watched him leave.“Stephen is on a whole different level than us.”“Yeah. We need to learn from him.”“Stephen is amazing. He’s undoubtedly the best among the younger generation.”On his way home, some passersby recognized Stephen’s car and waved at him. “Stephen, thanks for everything you’ve done

“This is Hugo, and he’s a good friend of mine. To save me, he almost got killed.”Everyone immediately understood who Hugo was—Hugo was another hero!Stephen glanced at Hugo. “You showing up today feels like a gift. Now that you’re fine, the weight on my chest has finally lifted. From now on, I won’t let any harm come to you!”Hugo merely smiled coldly. He would have been moved if that had been in the past, but now, he knew what type of person Stephen was. Did any of those achievements have anything to do with Stephen?Hugo held the microphone and spoke slowly, “Before that, can you answer two of my questions?”Stephen was stunned, his brain unable to process why Hugo would suddenly ask that. “My first question,” Hugo said as he recalled what Ethan had said to him. “When did Riveria’s GDP hit the 15 trillion dollars mark?”The moment Stephen heard the question, he understood that Hugo was not on his side. Like Daniel, Caleb, and the South Regent, Hugo was there to expose his

At that moment, it was not just Stephen panicking. Simon was also losing his composure. He did not know much about Riveria or the Grand Marshal, and now he was learning that the Grand Marshal had a granddaughter. Simon’s mind was buzzing loudly and completely blank. What should he do now? He turned his head around and saw the audience looking at them. The dark camera lenses not far away were also focused on them. “Turn them off!” He shouted in fear, “Stop filming! Cut the livestream! Cut the livestream now!”Seeing how panicked he looked, everyone’s hearts sank. The more panicked Simon was, the clearer it became that there was something wrong with Stephen’s identity. Stephen could not even answer such basic questions, and now, with both their reactions, the crowd fell silent. Those in the federal government also frowned. “Let’s go!” Simon did not dare to stay any longer. He quickly grabbed Stephen and ran down the stage. It was not just about answering the questions anymo
