Semua Bab The Guardian's Return: Bab 301 - Bab 310

In the meeting room at headquarters, everyone was shocked when they learned about the situation in Celestial City.The South Regent dared to start a business in Celestial City.Furthermore, he had used schemes to drive away all the other businesses, making him the only major company left, which made it difficult for Stephen to act.Since the city was still in turmoil, Mark’s company had become its economic backbone. If anything happened to it, Celestial City’s economy would collapse completely.They could still arrest Mark, but that would come at too high a price.First, the economy would crash. Second, Mark was a hero who had captured the criminals.They all felt trapped.“At this point, we have no choice but to support him. Once the economy stabilizes, we can gather enough evidence and arrest him.”The others nodded in agreement.After the meeting, Simon called Stephen.“Have people infiltrate his company and gather evidence, but don’t make any other moves. Support the comp

Mark worked for the South Regent, and his intention of entering Celestial City was not to help the city but to line his own pockets.As for the criminals that he caught, they were actually his subordinates!Mark only sacrificed two of his men to gain public favor. Now, everyone believed that Mark was a good man.In the future, Stephen would have to be extremely careful of any move he made against Mark.Seeing the compliments, Stephen realized that he had to act quickly and bring Mark to justice. Otherwise, once the truth came out, the people praising him today would scold him with equal fervor.The next day, George’s punishment was announced: a major demerit, a written self-reflection, and a public apology.Riveria would be managed by Stephen again, with George assisting him.The punishment was relatively light thanks to Simon asking for leniency. Without his help, it would have been much harsher.The Internet was not satisfied though.“It’s not the death penalty?”“George re

The South Regent remained silent. He knew that Ethan could do such a thing, so he must give Ethan an undeniable reason or force Ethan to make a move. It was like when they had saved Dr. Rodman. A single command from Ethan made the South Regent send soldiers to go after the leader who kidnapped Dr. Rodman. In the end, Ethan made the forces behind the leader come after him. The South Regent always thought that his plan to kidnap the tycoon, if not flawless, was at least impeccable. However, he realized it was full of loopholes after hearing what Ethan said. George felt his mouth go dry. Ethan could make another fortune or bring the tycoon back without exerting a single soldier or penny, but what about them? All they could do was obediently follow the South Regent's orders! George suddenly felt that the gap between them and Ethan was huge. Rachel also lowered her head. She thought Ethan would also be helpless, so she did not expect him to propose three ideas so easily! Moreove

George looked at the South Regent and said seriously, "You've been minding your own business for three years, so why can't you continue to do so? Can't you stop targeting Riveria?"The South Regent looked at George as if he was looking at a fool. Was there a problem with what he was doing?"My father died because of Riveria. Countless of my friends died in Riveria. How can I let Riveria go? "Moreover, the Grand Marshal's student, Stephen, is in Riveria now, so this is the best time for me to take revenge. Why should I back off?"George wanted to say something but ended up staying silent. He wanted to say that Stephen's identity was fake. Ethan was the Grand Marshal's student, not Stephen. However, after thinking about it, he knew that the South Regent should be well aware of this fact. The South Regent knew he could not win against Ethan, so it was enough to defeat the widely known "student of the Grand Marshal", Stephen.The South Regent shook his head. "Do you really think Ri

Stephen stopped asking about that and started to comfort George, "Don't overthink things. Everything will be fine." He planned to stabilize Celestial City first, then work hard in the next city to recover the economic losses. That way, the public criticism of George would ease significantly.George asked, "Have you settled the matters in Celestial City?"Stephen nodded. "I've made the arrangements." With Mark Smith coming on board, it meant that the South Regent had placed all his chess pieces in Celestial City. The city was unlikely to fall into chaos again. If things got out of hand, even the South Regent would not be able to make a profit."I estimate that Celestial City will stabilize in about half a month to a month." Once Celestial City stabilized, they could attract investors and rebuild the economy. Stephen continued, "Although the South Regent is cunning, I believe we'll definitely be able to win against him." George smiled bitterly. "Yes, we'll definitely win."
