The Guardian's Return by Old Pumpkin

Chapter 148

Ethan was still alive, and not only that, Snow had even seen him!

Oliver's breathing quickened. Could Ethan have learned about what was happening in Aqual City and was planning to take action against them?

At that moment, all Oliver wanted to do was away, and maybe he should. He could forget about the money and everything.

He knew very well how the previous businessmen had met their tragic end. Not only did they die, but their entire fortune had mysteriously disappeared as well.

"Oliver?"

Stephen noticed something off with Oliver.

"What's wrong?"

Oliver snapped back to his senses, his body tensing up as he asked nervously, "What did Ethan say?"

"He just mentioned that Snow's parents died in a famine. He also said a lot of strange things, like she chose to sacrifice herself or something."

Stephen still could not make sense of it.

Oliver pressed, "Is that it?"

Stephen nodded.
