The Guardian's Return by Old Pumpkin

Chapter 526

Stephen slumped into his chair, boneless. He was really scared out of his wits when he had a gun pointed at him at such close range. He almost died.

Only then did he have time to pick up his phone and check who had tried to call him earlier. However, before he could look, Nolan's call came in.

"Stephen, Charles' parents committed suicide. He has a gun. He injured me and then escaped."

Stephen fell silent for a while before saying, "Got it. I've caught Charles. You should head to the hospital and get yourself checked out. You've done well."

He was more assured of Nolan, someone willing to risk his life to capture Charles. It looked like he was right in his choice of mayor this time. In fact, he had made an excellent choice!

After hanging up, Stephen finally saw that it was Ganter who had tried to call him just now. However, nobody picked up when he returned the call.

Seeing that he could not reach Stephen, Ganter had taken to the streets, trying to find someone to send Austin to the hospital. Unfortunately, no one was willing to help as it was too dangerous in Hill City. In the end, Ganter had no choice but to kneel by the roadside, begging people for help until someone finally agreed.

After sending Austin to the hospital, Ganter saw that it was overwhelmed with patients, and every corner was filled with cries. For a moment, he felt as if he was in hell.
