The Guardian's Return (Ethan Rivers) novel Chapter 488

Dr. Steel had always lived in the capital. Although news about Riveria occasionally appeared online, he rarely paid any attention.

Now that he was in Hill City, he could see the raging flames from the distant mountaintop from the roof.

“How could a fire break out so suddenly?” Before Dr. Steel could think it through, he saw Austin running back in a panic.

“Why are you in such a rush?” he frowned and asked.

Austin said nervously, “Something’s happened on the next street. There was an armed robbery.” He quickly closed the door to prevent the robbers from coming here and threatening their safety.

“Robbery? And armed?” Dr. Steel was shocked. He found it hard to believe that there were still robbers in the current day, even daring to bring guns! They had no regard for their life!

Austin was even more worried. “Hill City doesn’t feel safe at all.” They had encountered the forest fire and armed robbery just after they arrived.

Was it a coincidence? Or was it simply the state of Hill City?

Dr. Steel comforted him, “Don’t worry. We have Stephen here. No matter what, he’s the young master of the Quinns from the capital, the chosen one. He can handle this.”

“I hope so.” Although Austin said this, he still felt a little uneasy.

At this moment, Nolan found Stephen. “I suspect the mastermind has started taking action again. Perhaps they wanted to save the criminals arrested before. I would suggest transferring these people to the prison in the capital.”

Stephen, already overwhelmed with work, nodded in agreement after hearing Nolan’s words. “I’ll leave this to you.”

Nolan left and started transferring the criminals. After leaving Hill City, the South Regent’s men intercepted them, and they drove over the borders, making it look like the transport vehicle had been hijacked.
