Chapter 104
How would they face the public now? If news got out, they would become the biggest laughing stock online.
Everyone hoped for it to be false news because I should never have happened in the first place.
Simon sighed and said, “It’s real.”
“Slam!”
Someone slammed the table and bellowed, “Damn it! Howard Green, that fucking bastard! He lied to us all!!
Everyone else was silenced by the news. Howard was ruthless, and it somehow left them at a loss of action.
Simon spoke up, “That’s enough. We need to start thinking of a solution first. We cannot drag this out. We have to explain this to the public as soon as possible. If they found out about the problem themselves, things would only get worse.”
Everyone wore a bitter look on their faces. Simon had asked for a solution, but none of them had any.
In order to solve the problem, the fastest and easiest way would be to arrest Howard and execute him. However, the man had left the country with money, firearms, and manpower.
It would take them a lot of time to locate Howard, let alone arrest him. It simply was not possible.
A few of them started scratching their heads nervously until suddenly, someone had an idea.
“Ethan Rivers! Howard is Ethan’s man! If we can get Ethan’s help, he might be able to get Howard to come back!”
Hearing that suggestion, everyone suddenly seemed hopeful. How could they have forgotten about Ethan?
“Yeah! We can ask Ethan for help! Howard listens to him, so he must have a way around this! We must look for Ethan right away!”
However, before long, another problem emerged.
Someone said timidly, “The problem is, will Ethan help us?”
“He will! We might have some misunderstandings, but I believe he’s not the kind to hold a grudge.

Chapter 104
“One more second wasted and another family in Seaside City will be affected. Ethan might not like us, but he can’t take it out on innocent people, right?
“Besides, he has a connection to Howard. If we can’t get Howard, we can pin the blame on Ethan instead. We’re giving him a chance to help himself! He should be grateful for it, so why wouldn’t he help?”
Everyone exchanged a quick gaze and nodded in agreement. It made sense to them.
Howard used to work for Ethan, and now that he had fled the city, they could pin the blame on Ethan. If Ethan refused to help, they could just shift the blame on him.
On top of that, they could also expose Ethan, allowing the public to see his true colors. Once Ethan found out he was needed, he should be grateful and eager to help.
“What about when we get Howard? Should we reward Ethan for it or release him?”
