Semua Bab The Guardian's Return: Bab 751 - Bab 760

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

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

“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

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

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
