The Guardian's Return by Old Pumpkin

Andy was expressionless. He felt no sympathy for Stephen's current state. All of that was Stephen's own fault.

"I'll be leaving soon, so I won't sit down. Anyway, I'm short of money, so give me 20 million dollars."

The smile on Stephen's face immediately froze. Not a single word of concern but just a demand for 20 million dollars right off the bat from Andy cut Stephen deep.

"Why should I give it to you?" Stephen asked in a low voice.

Andy replied, "Let's not talk about how you almost killed me, but I know everything about what happened to Jeremy. You killed a hero and even destroyed the evidence. What do you think would happen if everyone were to learn the truth?"

Stephen's expression darkened. "You're blackmailing me."

"It depends on your decision. If you give me the money, things will be fine, but if you don't, then it won't be."

Andy was not scared of him. He was no longer the naive and clueless boy who used to call Stephen his good friend. He had been through enough for them to stand on equal ground now.

Even if Stephen did not want to give him the money, he still had a plan. All it would take was calling Jeremy in, and everything would come crashing down.
