Semua Bab The Guardian's Return: Bab 421 - Bab 430

With a life lost, the situation had become far more complicated and serious. To make matters worse, most of the workers at the quarry were unhappy with their wages. Nolan seized the chance to tell Stephen that he should take back the mining rights if the South Regent’s company could not settle the problem and compensate the injured and deceased workers.Stephen agreed and immediately went to the quarry manager to deliver the message.The manager was displeased by the decision. The miners who survived wanted around 300 thousand dollars in compensation, and the family of the deceased demanded at least 800 thousand dollars. It was not that the company could not offer it, but it was not worth it. “I’ll have to check with my boss.” The manager then contacted the South Regent to get further instructions.The South Regent was made aware of the incident, and after a quick consideration, he said, “Pay them. Let’s keep things quiet for now. After that, launch an investigation to find ou

In the end, Stephen had no choice but to hand all 70 million in donations to Nolan, trusting him to fix the places affected by the forest fire. Nolan smiled. “Don’t worry. I will do my best.” Now, he received a total of 120 million from Stephen through multiple parties. The Spencers were in desperate need of money, so there was no way he would spend all the money on helping people. He distributed 50 million worth of compensation and let his men pocket 20 million from it. Then, he took 70 million to help the places affected by the forest fire and skimmed another 30 million for his people. He then sent his men overseas to launder the money through the Spencers’ shady network, successfully transferring all the money to the family. After the transaction was complete, the men were taken out by the Spencers to ensure that they would never be seen again. With that, Nolan distanced himself completely from whatever shady transactions that happened. Even if something went wrong, no one

The fire in the underground parking attracted all the security, and many staff ran to watch the scene. At that moment, a few low-profiled hitmen dressed in ordinary clothes walked into the company. Ten minutes later, a blood-curdling scream rang out before the company’s CEO fell from the sky and smashed into the ground, dead on impact. The incident alarmed Nolan. He immediately ordered his men to investigate it, and the results came back quickly. It was those few hitmen who had failed to kill him!They purposely set a fire in the underground parking, using the opportunity where everyone’s attention was diverted to go upstairs and throw the CEO off the rooftop. When Stephen heard about that, his face darkened. How dare those people bear guns and murder in broad daylight and in such a brutal manner!“We must catch them!”Hill City was locked down. Every car leaving the city was thoroughly inspected to ensure the hitmen would not escape. Then, the authorities issued a high bounty

Evidence? The hitman truly had none now. Everyone involved was clean and efficient in their moves, leaving no traces behind.“But me being here can be considered evidence,” The hitman said, “This time, I’m turning myself in.”Stephen was taken aback. The hitman, who had fooled him several times, was turning himself in now to expose the Spencers? Could everything he said be true?Stephen then took out his phone and dialed the police to arrest the hitman. However, the hitman had no plans to escape. His last order was to surrender and take the Spencers down with him. He remained seated on the couch. “Mr. Quinn, don’t be fooled again.”His words made Stephen pause. For a split second, Julius’ face flashed across his mind. “Actually, I do sympathize and pity you.” The hitman said, “I’ve had many chances to kill you, but we never did. You should know we’re not your true enemy.”“Nonsense!” Stephen snapped, not believing a word. “We’re enemies by circumstance, nothing more!”“It’s u

Even if Stephen tried his best to persuade him today, Ethan would never help him. Besides, Stephen did not have a silver tongue. Stephen raised his head and looked at Ethan. “You sure are heartless.”“There was never any bond between us, so don’t talk about being heartless. Don’t think too highly of yourself.”Stephen was fuming. He had given Ethan an opportunity to back down, but Ethan refused to help, showing him no respect at all.Nolan watched the exchange from the side. The hatred he once held for Ethan had now turned into gratitude. If Stephen was not there and Ethan was not on the second floor, he might have rushed up to hug Ethan then and there.An enemy? No, Ethan was their savior! Three years ago, the Spencers had fallen because of Ethan. Yet now, thanks to him, they had the chance to rise again and surpass their former glory!At the same time, Nolan felt a little sorry for Stephen. Although he did not know what Stephen had done to offend Ethan, choosing to provoke E
