George immediately perked up. “Quick, what is it?”
“The mayor is in contact with forces beyond the border. He is heading to an abandoned factory three miles before Stone Village to meet up with the other side.”
George’s eyes widened. He knew it!
He had guessed correctly from the start that Julius was working for the South Regent! Now, Julius had finally slipped up and exposed himself!
“You did well!”
George hung up the call and immediately reported the news to Stephen.
“He’s meeting up with foreign forces?” Stephen said excitedly, “Use this opportunity to catch him red–handed and expose the South Regent’s evil plan!”
George immediately called the police, instructing them to head to the factory and arrest Julius. However, worried that Julius would escape in advance, he also rushed to the factory
after ending the call.
In Stone Village, Nico put down his phone and smiled slyly. “All I need to do next is wait until they wear each other out. Then, I can swoop in and reap the benefits.”
Whether Julius was dealt with or George ended up in trouble, it would all be good news for him. Hill City would become more vulnerable if they both went down, and it would be his moment to strike!
Half an hour later, Julius arrived at the abandoned factory. When he went inside and did not see Nico, he could immediately tell that something was wrong.
Amidst his confusion, Julius saw a letter on the table. He picked it up, but it had no signature and did not specify who it was for.
Julius opened the letter. When he saw the first sentence, he stood frozen in place, stunned.
“Julius, the latest orders from the South Regent are here…”
He instantly understood that the letter was written to frame him!
He took out a lighter, intending to destroy the letter immediately. However, at that moment

“Stop!” George’s voice sounded at the door.
Julius looked in the door’s direction, and his expression turned dark when he saw George standing there.
He had fallen into a trap. Nico had tricked him to the place and then sent George, who was

suspicious of him. He wanted to make George believe he was the South Regent’s subordinate!
Nico wanted to use George to get rid of him!
Julius put down the lighter and took a deep breath, saying, “We’ve both been deceived. Nico is the enemy. He tricked me into coming here. I have the call logs as evidence!”
George slowly approached him and took the letter from his hands. After reading the contents, George’s face was filled with rage.
