The Guardian's Return by Old Pumpkin

Chapter 414

Edward felt dizzy. His whole body trembled as he explained Ethan's plan to the South Regent.

"First, he got Max to take his family out. Then, he had that organization trap everyone, intending to use them to eliminate Max. After that, he contacted you to eliminate the organization before coming to us, stalling us, and extracting the benefits."

Edward had some theories as to how Ethan had lured Max's family out. Ethan had either convinced Max to bring them directly or deceived Max's wife into taking their child to search for him after he left. Either way, Max's family was part of Ethan's schemes from the very start. As a result of Ethan's machinations, Max was forged to kill his wife and son to spare them from torture at the hands of his enemies. However, he ran out of bullets before he could turn the gun on himself. Just as he walled for his enemies to kill him, the South Regent's men had arrived!

In the end, Max survived. He even watched as the others trapped with him, waiting for their deaths, were rescued by the South Regent and transported out in trucks to safety!

If Max had not gotten the idea to escape, his wife and child would still be alive. Those who waited for death survived, while those who tried to save themselves died.

When Edward and Tyler finally processed the gri reality, a suffocating sense of despair overcame them. If Max had held on for just one ore minute, they would have been saved.

Edward and Tyler now fully understood the meaning behind Ethan's parting words. It than had not stalled them, they could have discovered the problem in time and would likely save
