The Guardian's Return by Old Pumpkin

Chapter 222

The South Regent did not plan to explain himself either. He said, "In three days, I want to see a hundred billion. If there's no money, you can take his body back." The phone call ended.

George fell on the couch, feeling drained and exhausted.

The South Regent had joined the fray and was demanding a hundred billion, which was an astronomical figure.

On top of that, Celestial City was facing another crisis as well-the departure of the major companies. The city's GDP would decline with their absence, and following the abduction of Richard, fewer people would want to expand their businesses locally.

George originally planned for foreign companies to fill in the positions of those who departed, but the South Regent had taken Richard.

If the news got out, no other companies would come and the remaining local companies would be terrified. No one wanted to be abducted by the South Regent!

George did not see this coming at all.
