The Guardian's Return by Old Pumpkin

Chapter 69

That afternoon, Stephen could breathe easy at home.

"The worst has passed."

He was scared out of his wits upon learning the city's state of affairs. Luckily, he had Simon's help and narrowly managed to weather the crisis. Still, there was a lot to reflect on.

The dwindling number of businesses in North Hill City had resulted in a severe job shortage. If left unchecked, it could cause a massive population decline.

Another issue was with the nature reserve. With the reserve mistakenly turned into a development area, Lytton wrecked and destroyed the habitat, leading to a drop in wildlife. It was a massive loss to the city and the world.

The city's water supply had also been contaminated, and it would take two weeks to improve the water quality. The area had to be reclaimed before more damage was done.
