The Guardian's Return by Old Pumpkin

Chapter 304

Mark worked for the South Regent, and his intention of entering Celestial City was not to help the city but to line his own pockets.

As for the criminals that he caught, they were actually his subordinates!

Mark only sacrificed two of his men to gain public favor. Now, everyone believed that Mark was a good man.

In the future, Stephen would have to be extremely careful of any move he made against Mark.

"It's not the death penalty?"

"George really lucked out."

"Well, Stephen's back in charge. Let's hope he can make Riveria better this time."

"It won't be easy. Maybe Stephen should ask whoever managed Riveria three years ago for some tips."
