The Guardian's Return (Ethan Rivers) novel Chapter 108

Chapter 108 

Howard went from a hero to a traitor overnight With money and firearms, he fled the city, which exacerbated the mess in Seaside City. 

The one who caused the mess, Dennis, the mayor of Crestwood, also fled with the money he scammed from the people, evading capture and leaving no trace behind. However, the one who released Howard back to Seaside City was not Stephen but someone else. 

When the news hit the internet, everyone online was left in shock. Many rubbed their eyes and pinched their faces, struggling to believe what they saw. 

Howard was labeled a traitor and had taken off with money and firearms? The one who caused the mess, Dennis, was also roaming free? 

“What on earth is happening? Howard Green is a bad guy now?” 

“I thought he guarded Seaside City for three years. Why did he flee with money and firearms?” 

“What happened?” 

In just two days, Howard had gone from a bad guy to a hero and ultimately a traitor. The rapid shift in his identity was too much for people to handle, leading some to suspect it was a conspiracy. 

“How did they let Dennis Lewis get away?” 

“Didn’t they learn anything from North Hill City?” 

Shawn, Eric, Brandon, and Danny fled North Hill City when things went out of control back then. Now, Howard and Dennis had done the same.. 

All the culprits ran away after causing a serious mess, and none were apprehended. What they found hardest to accept was the matter regarding Howard. 

“What is Stephen Quinn and the federal government doing?” 

“How can they not know Howard Green is not a good guy?” 

“What the hell is happening? Is Howard Green good or bad? Just give us the word!” 

“Don’t tell me the federal government was tricked too.” 

As the netizens commented on the matter, the people in the federal government looked 

grim. They had been tricked, and admitting it would be downright embarrassin 

Stephen took a look at the comments online, and a shiver ran down his spine. He could not even bear to look at his phone. The comments were harsh and ruthless. 

“Is Stephen Quinn fit to govern Riveria?”

“Who used to govern Riveria? That guy did a good job, but he was taken down from the position. If this new guy can’t do the job, bring the old one back.” 

“Yeah. The one who governed Riveria back then did amazing. He kept Ethan Rivers and Howard Green in line. I have to give him some respect for that!” 

“Stephen Quinn got played, and nothing is left of North Hill City. Now, he’s been tricked again, and Seaside City is in trouble. Just find someone better to replace him!” 

Even until now, the people had no idea Ethan was the one who governed Riveria before Stephen. They simply thought Stephen’s predecessor was amazing to be able to keep Ethan in line. If they found out Ethan was the one in charge before him, how would they feel?
