“100 billion dollars.”
Stephen frowned. “That’s not really that much, is it?”
George was silent for a moment before responding, “Well, compared to what you lost, it’s certainly not much.”
Stephen was left speechless. He had lost 3.6 trillion, or in other words, 360 billion dollars. Compared to 360, 100 certainly seemed small.
George almost laughed in exasperation. After losing so much money, Stephen still dared to scoff at 100 billion dollars.
As if he himself had ever helped Riveria earn 100 billion dollars! Forget 100 billion dollars, he had not even brought in a million!
“Ethan was much more capable than you,” George said. “Only someone like Ethan would have the right to consider 100 billion dollars too little.”
Stephen’s face darkened. Ethan again? Why bring up Ethan?
He admitted Ethan had some ability, but surely not

Their plane soon landed in Celestial City.

As George and Stephen disembarked, they saw the mayor of Celestial City waiting for them.
The mayor was a heavyset man with a receding hairline and thick glasses. He warmly welcomed George, but once he laid eyes on Stephen, the smile on his face froze.
Oh no! Why was this jinx here?
Stephen was now infamous. He destroyed every city he went to.
This was especially true for Aqua City, where there was a time when eight lives were lost in one day! The citizens could barely survive under his reign.
Only after Stephen was replaced by George did Aqua City return to peace.
Stephen noticed the mayor’s expression and felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart.
Was he really that terrifying?
Why did people look so scared when they saw him?

George said beside him, “Don’t worry, he’s just my assistant. I’ll handle everything.
The mayor breathed a sigh of relief.

Chapter 212
Due to Stephen’s exploits, the mayor of Aqua City had been fired and was still being cursed by the citizens to this day. The mayor had no intention of being fired and did not want to experience the onslaught of criticisms coming his way while being trapped at home.
That was no way to live!
The mayor said, “Follow me. I’ve arranged accommodations for you.”
He led them to a car, and they soon arrived at their lodgings.
It was a villa. As they entered the hall, several young, beautiful women came out to greet them.
George instinctively gulped, and Stephen’s eyes lit up.
The mayor introduced, “These ladies will take care of your daily needs while you’re here.
“Excellent!” George was the first to speak up.
The mayor added, “You must be tired from your long journey. I won’t disturb your rest, I’ll take my leave now.”
With that, the mayor tactfully left. Upon stepping out of made a call.
Villa he took out his phone and
“Your Highness, just as you predicted, George Lowe and Stephen Quinn have fallen right into the honey trap.”
The South Regent was not surprised by this result. “I understand. Get ready. We’ll make our move the day after tomorrow.”
He had his sights set on the incoming wealthy investor.
If this person could invest 100 billion dollars, then surely, they could extract at least 300 billion from him. This investor was definitely a big fat sheep to fleece.
The mayor asked quietly, “Should we eliminate those two?”
“No need. It’s not necessary.
The South Regent did not consider George and Stephen a threat at all. He thought for a moment and instructed, “Instead of doing that, find an opportunity to ask around about Ethan Rivers. Find out if he’s dead or alive.”
Although the South Regent hated and feared Ethan, he did not really want him dead. After all, he had been losing to Ethan non–stop for three years.
Back when he was at odds with the Grand Marshal, they had been evenly matched. However, against Ethan, he had not won even once, suffering crushing defeats every time. In the end, he had lost so badly that he had to swear a solemn oath.
