The Guardian's Return by Old Pumpkin

Chapter 271

Simon never anticipated the South Regent to return the money. He simply called the man to pour out his grievance.

To his surprise, he was shaken by the story he heard.

After the call, he called Stephen right away.

"Don't go to Ethan anymore. He's a despicable and deceptive man."

Stephen had no idea what happened, but since his father had spoken, he simply nodded. "I understand. He will spend the rest of his life in the mountains with no visitors."

Simon felt relieved. “I need you to prepare some money and find a good location for the villagers. Throw in something extra as compensation. You must let them know you did not intentionally target the villagers, and that it's all the mayor's fault."

Stephen nodded.

"And, keep an eye on Lucas. Don't let anything happen to him. Get the best doctor to treat

him and take care of the bills."

Stephen nodded again. He understood the stakes.
