The Guardian's Return (Ethan Rivers) novel Chapter 427

Chapter 427 

They shut down the South Regent’s business, and now the South Regent was willing to sacrifice a subordinate to drag the Spencers‘ business down with them. 

The hitman was taken away, and he provided more incriminating information about the Spencers‘ business. He even mentioned that Ethan had punished the Spencers in the past. 

Nolan realized things were getting out of hand, so he quickly called his father, Edward. 

Edward merely said, “Kill him.” 

What happened three years ago was a dark part of their history that must never be exposed, and Stephen could never know about it. As such, Nolan managed to get his hands on some poison and used it to kill the hitman.

Stephen ordered, “Increase the search for the remaining hitmen!”

he was, standing in his house. 

“What do you want?” Stephen was frightened, thinking it was an attempt on his life. 

He tensed up and retreated while fishing for his phone. 

“Mr. Quinn, don’t worry. I’m not here to kill you. I’m here to report Nolan. Do you me?” 

Stephen was stunned. “Are you trying to fool me again?”
