The Heiress’ Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call

Chapter 1725 You're Fired

The residents of the farmers' market were alarmed by its sudden closure, fearing the loss of their livelihood. Rohan believed it was the perfect opportunity to incite unrest.

"I don't understand. Why are they stopping us from doing business?" a vendor questioned.

"Exactly! It was all fine until they shut down the market. How am I supposed to provide for my family now?" another huffed.

Those already harboring complaints were now further incensed by the provocation. Though they were initially calm, some now attempted to tear down the barricade tape to enter.

Rohan watched from the sidelines with a triumphant smirk. Dressed in a sleek suit, he spoke with a righteous air, as though standing up for the vendors. "Who do the Quinnells think they are, keeping us locked down like this?

"Who sent you here? Do you even have the authority to enforce this? I haven't heard a word from Mr. Wyncall at the Industry and Commerce Bureau."

Standing before him, Garret Moland blocked Rohan's path to the farmers' market. Inside, workers in protective suits were disinfecting the area, while specialists collected samples of the virus.

While the initial sample results indicated nothing unusual at the farmers' market, the first case of infection came from the driver who delivered aquatic animals there.

With no knowledge of the driver's other routes, they were left to consider the farmers' market as the virus' potential source. Even if it might not have been the virus' origin, anyone who had come into contact with the driver was likely infected.

Hence, Wynter swiftly ordered a lockdown of the farmers' market upon hearing Nigel's account. Each resident was placed under quarantine, and medical professionals went door to door to collect samples for testing.

Eager to stir trouble, Rohan had planned to record a video that would spark a backlash against the Quinnell Group. He hadn't expected to be stopped at the entrance, leaving him unaware of what was unfolding inside. All he could do was stoke the fire from the outside.

At the same time, his disdain for Garret grew as he thought of the latter as just an ordinary citizen daring to stand his way.

Rohan declared recklessly, "Let's storm in! If anything goes wrong, Mr. Wyncall and Mr. Camburn will handle it!"

Murdo Camburn was the chief officer in charge of the area. Despite his own authority, he had to show deference to Rohan, the Colifernia Chamber of Commerce's head. Moreover, several development projects relied on Rohan's support, which fueled his brazenness.

Wolstan, who had once mirrored Rohan's haughtiness, now wore an unreadable expression. He couldn't fathom why the Soul Guardian he had summoned earlier had refused to help or

even listen to his request.

As if that wasn't enough, the artifact Alban had given him had shattered, leaving Wolstan at a loss for how to explain his error to his mentor.

Just who on earth was Wynter, and why did malevolent spirits surround her? Those questions kept running in Wolstan's mind. But he didn't dare to bring them up to Rohan, lest he would be seen as incompetent.

Having grown used to admiration and flattery, Wolstan had no intention of returning to being a nobody. Normally, he would've seen Rohan's downfall coming. However, he had been so wrapped up in his own concerns that he failed to realize that Rohan's reckless behavior was costing him his position.

No one had ever been bold enough to trespass the isolation zone, yet Rohan audaciously suggested such an act, oblivious to the riot he was inciting.

Garret barely budged an inch as he stopped Rohan's advance. The crowd attempted to force their way into the market but failed to break through.

Seeing that, Rohan purposely fell to the ground and cried, "How unjust! The farmers' market belongs to us Colifernians, but the Quinnell Group shut it down as soon as they arrived! What are the residents supposed to do now?

"As the Colifernia Chamber of Commerce's head, I came to inspect the situation, but they pushed me to the ground!"

When Rohan started crying, his subordinate started recording the scene. Facing the camera, Rohan sniffed and continued, "You call the Quinnells benevolent, but it's all just a show!"

Garret watched the farce with a frown. It appeared Rohan wasn't fully aware of who he was messing with.
