Stephen sat frozen in place. What Julius said to him about not getting deceived again hit him hard. On his journey of managing Riveria, he had been deceived in every city and tricked by mayors three times. 

Stephen trembled, his face pale. What did he have to do to know whether someone was tricking him? What was real, and what was fake? 

“Dad, I can’t tell. I really can’t tell!” He broke down. 

Stephen believed he had been trying and doing well, having grown from his many mistakes. Yet now, he realized that although he had grown, his enemies were still stronger. Being a Quinn did not mean that people would heed his every word. 

How many lives had been lost because he was deceived? 

This time, it even led to the death of the mayor, Julius, who cared for Hill City so deeply and wanted to help him manage the city. 

Stephen held Julius‘ body and felt hopeless for the second time. The first time was when he 

scolded Snow and then heard news of her death. 

He started to doubt himself. Could he really govern Riveria? Besides, how did Ethan develop Riveria? The enemies were so ruthless and cunning that they played everyone like a fiddle! 

The police officers surrounding the factory quickly called for an ambulance that took away both Julius and Tommy’s bodies. As for Nico, he was still alive, so he was sent to the hospital. 

Since there were two casualties, Stephen and George were taken in for questioning. They numbly recounted the events that happened. 

In Metropolis, Simon found it to have been rather calm lately. 

He thought, ‘Stephen hasn’t contacted me for a while. He has really grown and learned to handle problems by himself. Maybe soon, I’ll get to hear about the progress he made in Hill City. I have to think about how I’ll brag to other people.‘ 

Not long after that thought crossed his mind, his phone rang. The call was from someone in Metropolis. 

Simon’s eyes lit up. Was someone giving him the opportunity to brag already? 

He quickly answered the call but froze the moment he heard what the person said. 

“Simon, your son is in trouble.” 

“Huh?” Simon was bewildered.

“The mayor of Hill City is dead, and your son is involved!” 

“What?” Simon was astonished. 

That news was beyond shocking. What did Stephen do?
