The Guardian's Return (Ethan Rivers) novel Chapter 426

Chapter 426 

The fire in the underground parking attracted all the security, and many staff ran to watch the scene. At that moment, a few low–profiled hitmen dressed in ordinary clothes walked into the 

company. 

Ten minutes later, a blood–curdling scream rang out before the company’s CEO fell from the sky and smashed into the ground, dead on impact. 

The incident alarmed Nolan. He immediately ordered his men to investigate it, and the results came back quickly. It was those few hitmen who had failed to kill him! 

They purposely set a fire in the underground parking, using the opportunity where everyone’s attention was diverted to go upstairs and throw the CEO off the rooftop. 

When Stephen heard about that, his face darkened. murder in broad daylight and in such a brutal manner!

dollars for any information! 

Every village and neighborhood was notified, and everyone was ordered to stay vigilant. There would be no place for the hitmen to hide. 

Stephen knew the South Regent had businesses in Hill City, so he sent his men to keep watch on the South Regent’s quarry and companies. With the city under lockdown, even the most skilled hitmen would think twice before making a move. 

Nolan knew it was a great opportunity to drive out or take over the South Regent’s business in Hill City. Hence, he had people tip Stephen off, saying they had seen the hitmen at the South Regent’s quarry and companies. 

Nolan urged, “We must act fast. We can’t let the hitmen get away!” 

Stephen nodded. Nolan had saved him once before, so he was grateful to Nolan and trusted the man more. He immediately ordered his men to surround the quarry and companies, placing all executive management under control to interrogate them while searching the place. 

As the hitmen were never there, and the management knew nothing of the South Regent’s specific revenge plan, they could not answer anything 

Unconvinced, Stephen pressed them further. “Cooperate now, and things will go easier for you. But if we find out you’re lying, you’ll regret it.” 

The management answered honestly, “But we really don’t know anything.” 

Stephen frowned. He did not believe those people knew nothing at all. They must be faking it!

At that moment, Nolan came to an empty washroom and took out a handgun he had prepared. He had bought that gun from beyond the borders, complete with foreign fingerprints, and no new prints from his people had been left on it. 

He put the gun in the washroom and yelled, “Everyone! There’s evidence here!” 

The people rushed over and saw the handgun. The forensic results came out quickly, showing fingerprints from an unknown individual.
