The Guardian's Return (Ethan Rivers) novel Chapter 451

Chapter 451 

Jeremy paused, not understanding what Ethan meant. 

“You want to expose Nolan’s true colors, and the South Regent wants to go against the Spencers. In that case, you should work together. 

“The South Regent will find the foreign forces working with Nolan, and with his help, you’ll join said forces to make deals with Nolan. Then, you can release the transactions online. If you can secretly record the dealings, that’ll be even better.” 

At those words, both Jeremy and the South Regent instantly understood what Ethan meant. He was telling Jeremy to put his life on the line! 

Joining the foreign forces to traffic weapons guaranteed death, but since he would be dealing with Nolan, it would be the best evidence against him. 

The South Regent could not help but gulp, realizing how ruthless the plan was. 

Thud, thud, thud! 

Jeremy bowed thrice to Ethan. 

“Thank you! Thank you!” 

Ethan said calmly, “If there’s nothing else, then go. I’m going to take a bath and sleep. As for how you two cooperate, that’s between the two of you.” 

Jeremy stood up and looked at the South Regent. 

The South Regent said, “You go out first.” 

Jeremy thanked Ethan again and turned to leave. 

The South Regent looked at Ethan. “Are you really going to do this?” 

Ethan retorted, “Didn’t you want him to die?” 

“I just said that because I was angry.” The South Regent knew who the real enemy was. “The one who should die is Nolan. Jeremy is just a victim, but if we follow through with this plan, he’s a dead man for sure. Even after his death, people online will curse him every day.” 

Ethan said slowly, “I gave him another choice, but this is the one he picked.” 

At the start, he said that this outcome was rather beneficial for Jeremy.

No one blamed him, and he was still Stephen’s subordinate. He would be able to live comfortably without worries. Even if he felt guilty, he could still live a good life. 

However, Jeremy remained kneeling. He rejected Ethan’s choice and chose to risk his own life. 

The South Regent fell silent. He knew that Jeremy had a death wish. His mother’s failed surgery, Fabian’s death, Stephen’s distrust, and Nolan’s deceit had all hit him hard. 

“Alas.” The South Regent sighed helplessly then turned to leave. 

“Oh,” Ethan piped up. “Close the door on your way out.” 

The South Regent left with Jeremy, and the two discussed their next step in detail. 

Meanwhile, after taking over the South Regent’s company, Nolan no longer had any competitors in Hill City. 

“It’s time to start my money–making plan. 

With help from his father, Edward, Nolan had several plans. 

The first was to accept bribes. He was Stephen’s right–hand man in Hill City now. There were plenty of people wanting to curry favor with him. With just a few hints and opportunities, many would willingly send him money. 

The second was road repairs. Chaos broke out in Hill City not long ago, so he could use that as an excuse to request funds for road repairs. When granted, he would pocket most of the money. 

The third plan was to expand his forces through illegal means. 

By implementing these plans together, he would rake in huge sums of money daily! 

The Spencers would return to their former glory before long. They would soon be able to take over Hill City and Breeze City.
