The Guardian's Return by Old Pumpkin

Chapter 38

Ethan tossed a list onto the table and continued, "Hand over the people on this list, and then, cease all your operations."

Brandon picked up the list, and as he went through it, his face sank.

The list included discovered moles and some of the town's most successful businessmen“. They not only manufactured dangerous weapons but also had close ties with foreign entities, helping with human trafficking and smuggling goods.

If Ethan took those people away, they would surely be sentenced to death. More importantly, it would have a massive impact on Lytton's economic activities.

"You must be joking." Brandon tried to play dumb. "We don't have such people in Lytton."

Ethan calmly replied, "Whether you hand them over or I find them myself makes no difference to me. But for you, the difference will be significant. I assure it."

Brandon gritted his teeth.

Ethan's message was clear. Whether they cooperated or not would not deter him in the slightest. He could easily find these people anyway.

If they cooperated, he might go lenient on them; if Ethan had to find them himself, the entire town would pay the price.
