The Guardian's Return by Old Pumpkin

Chapter 325

Tommy looked at Ethan in shock. He heard about what happened from his father but hearing it from Ethan in person felt different. He knew what his uncle had done

in the past.

"Uncle Lars got what he deserved. As for my grandparents and mother, they just have to be. It's fate."

“Fate?” Ethan muttered. After a few rounds of questions, he got a general idea of Tommy's personality. Unlike his father, the boy could still be saved.

"I won't stop your father, but I can give you two pieces of advice.

"First, collect evidence of his crimes and give them to Stephen Quinn. Though you might not be able to fool your father and after today, you won't get the chance to leave Stone Village again."

Once Nico realized his son was missing, he would go looking for the boy. When he found out that his son went to Ethan's place, Tommy would surely be grounded. It was not just because Tommy had met Ethan but also because Tommy knew too much.

"Second piece of advice: cut ties with your father and break up with your girlfriend. Study hard, and after you graduate, leave Riveria for someplace else. It's the best advice I can give you now."

Tommy fell into silence. He was not a fan of Ethan's advice. No matter what his choice would be, his father would die and Hill City would pay a huge price.

Thump!

Tommy fell to his knees.
