Chapter 301
Stephen found Mark and stared at him coldly. “Your plan succeeded.”
Now, Mark could openly set up shop in Celestial City since he was the only large enterprise left. Stephen had no choice but to support him, making him the leading business.
Mark smiled. “I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
Stephen said, “Even if you claim not to understand, I’ll be watching you.” He had to find a flaw with Mark. Once Celestial City stabilized, he would get rid of Mark.
“Don’t make it sound so frightening.” Mark said, “No matter what, I’ve made contributions.”
“Contributions?” Stephen frowned. “What contributions?”
He almost went mad from anger. The chaos in Celestial City now was all thanks to Mark
“First, while everyone else pulled out of Celestial City to save themselves, only I stayed. Second, I caught the two thugs who tried to kill you and found the kidnapped child.”
Boom!
Stephen’s body shook, his face full of shock. He anticipated the first point, but he did not expect the second!
“You… No, you don’t have that influence. It was the South Regent! He sacrificed his subordinates to help you win over the people of Celestial City!”
The two thugs had committed numerous crimes such as attacking Stephen with guns and kidnapping the children of several business owners. They had been missing for some time.
If Mark really managed to capture the criminals and return the children, how would the people of Celestial City perceive him? He would become a hero!
On the other hand, what about Stephen? He would be seen as useless, buried in the mud.
At that thought, Stephen staggered, feeling completely powerless.
It was flawless! The South Regent’s plan was perfect. He could not find any way to break it.
Removing Mark would be much more difficult. He needed indisputable evidence. Otherwise, everyone would think that Stephen was just jealous and wanted to bring him down out of spite.
Stephen’s breathing quickened. “Your plan really is flawless.‘
Mark smiled.
Stephen sat on the sofa powerlessly. He only had one question: how did Ethan defeat the

South Regent three years ago?
Now, they were simply dancing atop the South Regent’s palm!
Stephen did not know how to announce what happened publicly. The two bosses killed each other, and Mark easily captured the thugs that they could never catch…
Any one of these events would cause a sensation online.
Stephen silently left Mark’s office.
After he left, he found George. “What should we do now? Do we really have to support Mark?”
George thought about it for a long time. “That’s our only choice. We have no other option. He’s the only large company left in Celestial City, so we can’t touch him.”
Stephen sighed in exasperation. “I’ll write a report.”
He soon finished writing the report and sent it to Simon.
Simon was shocked upon reading it.
Such a massive incident happened in Celestial City! The criminals reappeared, taking the wives and children of the business owners hostage to threaten them.
The South Regent sent someone to establish a company in Celestial City.
Two business owners killed each other, and the criminals‘ threats caused the other business owners to leave Celestial City out of fear.
Now, the company that the South Regent set up was the only large enterprise left in the city. Furthermore, they had ‘caught‘ the criminals and saved the children.
Simon frowned deeply. The South Regent’s plans were so intricate that Celestial City had already fallen into his hands!
He called Stephen to inquire further.
“Do you have any evidence that this company is linked to the South Regent?”
Stephen shook his head. “No.”
He wanted evidence too. That way, he could have Mark arrested.
Simon thought about it and said, “Try to arrange for some people to join his company and secretly gather evidence. As for the rest, I’ll call a meeting and decide what to do next.”
