The Guardian's Return by Old Pumpkin

Chapter 169

Stephen was completely unaware of such matters.

All he saw was the growing economy.

However, he did not know that this growth was a once-off thing. After people

experienced it once, they would never come back again.

Some of the influential attraction spots that Stephen specially approved also faced problems.

Tourists got injured during their visits!

Several water-based influences almost drowned to death!

This also severely affected the attraction spots' profits.

News of Snow's suicide after being charged also spread online. Even Adam knew about it. Only Stephen, barred by the ISP, had no idea.

There were two days left until the event.

Stephen called Adam. "I want to go out and have a look. Aqua City must be incredibly lively right now."

Adam's expression was conflicted. He knew that Snow was dead, but he could

not say anything. Word on the streets was still discussing this news.

If Stephen went out, he might hear about Snow's death, and it would be a devastating blow to him.

After a moment of hesitation, Adam said, "You should get some rest for now. You'll be very busy once the event starts."

Stephen found it strange, especially Adam's behavior. The latter kept looking

around but refused to make eye contact.

"Is there something on my face?"

"N-No."
