The Guardian's Return by Old Pumpkin

Chapter 302

In the meeting room at headquarters, everyone was shocked when they learned about the situation in Celestial City.

The South Regent dared to start a business in Celestial City.

Furthermore, he had used schemes to drive away all the other businesses, making him the only major company left, which made it difficult for Stephen to act.

Since the city was still in turmoil, Mark's company had become its economic backbone. If anything happened to it, Celestial City's economy would collapse completely.

They could still arrest Mark, but that would come at too high a price.

First, the economy would crash. Second, Mark was a hero who had captured the criminals.

They all felt trapped.

"At this point, we have no choice but to support him. Once the economy stabilizes, we can gather enough evidence and arrest him."

The others nodded in agreement.

After the meeting, Simon called Stephen.

"Have people infiltrate his company and gather evidence, but don't make any other moves. Support the company and stabilize Celestial City's economy first.

"When new businesses come in, you can support the companies that are clean. Once Celestial City stabilizes and the new companies have grown strong, we'll take down the South Regent's company in one fell swoop. Stephen nodded.

Right now, all they could do was compromise with the South Regent. They had to allow him to openly profit from Celestial City.

"As for your public report, just write the truth," said Simon. It could not be hidden, after all.

Stephen lowered his head, knowing what the consequences would be.
