Все главы The Guardian's Return: Глава 501 - Глава 510

“I’ll be going now.” Arnold stood up, said goodbye to Ethan, and left.When he left the villa and felt the mountain breeze, he finally felt a bit better. He took out the number that Ethan gave, hesitated a moment, then dialed it.At 3 p.m., Arnold met Andy at the foot of the mountain. Marcus and Jeremy were also with him.Arnold was shocked to see Jeremy. “Aren’t you supposed to be dead?”Jeremy said, “Ethan saved me.”Arnold’s eyes widened. “He saved you?” At that moment, he thought back to the truth that Ethan said. If Ethan truly were a vile criminal, why would he save Jeremy? How would he have the means to save Jeremy?Arnold forced himself to calm down. “Did Ethan recommend you to join Andy as well?”Jeremy shook his head. “He never interfered with my choices. I decided everything myself.”Arnold wavered. Could it be that Ethan was not guilty after all?Just then, Andy asked, “What’s your story?”Arnold recounted the events of the previous day and about Ethan recommendin

Jared soon uploaded a video to the internet showing the entire ambush of the first team. It also showed him retreating and watching from afar as the South Regent’s subordinates, the villagers, and the second team joined in the battle.Finally, he stepped forward and debunked Stephen’s lies.As soon as the video was uploaded, Nolan secretly fueled the flames, instantly causing it to go viral. The netizens were stunned.“What does this video mean?”“Did Stephen trick us?”“Where’s Stephen? Should he give us an explanation?”“He said there was only one team and that there were some sacrifices from the enemy’s fierce resistance. Didn’t he say that our team was invincible?”However, the video they watched showed a completely different story than what Stephen painted.“Is Stephen playing us for fools?”“Is this how the Grand Marshal’s mentee acts?”“We demand an explanation for this!”Everyone was furious. They trusted Stephen, believing in their victory and even bragging about it

Stephen distorted the truth time and time again and even deleted the video immediately!Dr. Steel and Austin sat in the clinic, staring at their phones in shock. They were both dumbfounded. They could not believe that Stephen had done such horrible things.While the team was risking their lives, he went off to sleep, shirked responsibility for their deaths, and offered only a hundred thousand in compensation for each household. Finally, he tried to silence Arnold by imprisoning him. The most shocking thing was that he was not the Grand Marshal’s mentee! He was an imposter.One reason Dr. Steel previously supported Stephen was because he believed Stephen was the Grand Marshal’s mentee. The Grand Marshal had never married, and his only successor was his mentee.Dr. Steel did not want the Grand Marshal, who had spent his life fighting and died on the battlefield, to have no successor left. However, now, someone was claiming that Stephen was not the Grand Marshal’s mentee.Dr. Steel’s

For example, they would target the other party’s friends and families or cause trouble in their daily lives to force them to compromise.However, Simon could not figure out how to deal with Howard’s group. They were abroad and had both money and power. Sending assassins would not work, and it was not possible to dispatch a team either.Simon took a deep breath. “Tell me what you want. Let’s negotiate properly.”Howard remained calm. “There’s nothing to negotiate.” The only thing they wanted was Ethan’s freedom, but they all knew that Simon would never agree to it.Simon said in a low voice, “A hundred million. I’ll give you a hundred million each.” It was a massive sum. Even Simon felt pained at the thought of forking out several hundred million at once.Howard shook his head. “Even now, do you still think money can solve everything? Seeing you now reminds me of my past self.”Before meeting Ethan, when he was involved in the underworld, he also thought that money and power were

Ethan did not want money, power, or even Rachel. Stephen felt that there was no way to persuade him.Now, the best solution was to find Ethan’s weak spot and use it to threaten him. That way, Ethan would have no choice but to help. He thought about it. Family?Before coming to Riveria and seizing Ethan’s achievements, the Quinns had already investigated his background. Ethan was an orphan, and his parents were unknown. Three years ago, he joined the Lowes and secretly helped them manage Riveria. At the same time, he helped George become the mayor.Looking back at it now, the only person with a close relationship with Ethan was the Grand Marshal, but he had passed away three years ago. Since then, Ethan returned to a solitary life.Friends?Stephen could not think of any. In his memory, Ethan was always alone. It seemed he did not have any friends.Health? Ethan did not have to worry about his meals. He had a disciplined life, exercised regularly, and had a healthy body. Stephen c
