George sneered, refusing to believe what Julius was saying.
“I’d suggest you save your energy. Leave your excuses for when you get in prison!”
Julius gritted his teeth in frustration. He knew he could not be arrested. He was the only one keeping watch on Nico now, and if he were to be locked up, Nico would be on the loose. When that time came, the orchards and farms would not be the only ones affected!
“I can’t go with you,” Julius stated firmly.
He could not get caught now that Nico had set his sights on Hill City. He must protect Hill City!
Protecting Hill City meant protecting Stephen as well. If anything happened to Hill City, Stephen’s life would be over.
“You don’t have a say in that.”
George’s expression was cold. He could not back down because Julius worked for the South Regent and was trying to help the South Regent to destroy Hill City, just like all that had happened in the previous few cities.
He must protect Hill City, and most importantly, he had to protect Stephen, who could not afford any more failures!
At that moment, George and Julius faced each other as enemies, both wanting to protect Hill City and Stephen.
“If you won’t come with me willingly, I’ll take you by force!”
George shouted and suddenly lunged at Julius. He wanted to take Julius into custody. Just like that, the two broke out into a fight in the factory.
In Stone Village, Tommy stood before the window, trying to figure out how to escape and stop Nico. However, the guards were too wary, so much so that he needed to get checked even if he was just going to the bathroom. Alone, he could never escape!
While Tommy was feeling helpless, the door to his room slowly opened with a creak. A few tall and burly men walked in. The sudden appearance of those strangers startled Tommy.
“Who are you?” He stepped back in a panic, asking nervously, “What do you want?”
Someone said, “We’re here to help you.”
“Help me?” Tommy frowned.
“Help you to escape.”
Tommy’s heart skipped a beat. Could they be Ethan’s men? Did Ethan know he would be

locked up in Stone Village, so he wanted to lend him a final helping hand?
“Thank you.”
Tommy did not think much about it and Immediately walked toward those men. However, as soon as he left his room, he saw his guards lying on the ground.
“What happened to them?” he asked.
“Don’t worry. They’re just knocked out. They’ll wake up soon.”
Those men were the South Regent’s subordinates, highly skilled, and they effortlessly brought Tommy out of Stone Village.
They threw a phone to Tommy, saying, “Stephen’s number is in it.”
Tommy did not hesitate to dial Stephen’s number immediately.
“Hello?” Noticing it was an unknown number, Stephen asked, “Who is this?”
“I’m the son of Stone Village’s chief, Nico Wyatt. I’d like to report him!”
Stephen was stunned. He knew Stone Village and Nico. Stone Village was a hero’s village, and Nico had previously helped him solve a problem, yet Nico’s son wanted to report him? What was going on?
“What do you want to report?” he asked.
“I want to report that Nico has committed murder and led men to hunt endangered animals, cut down rare trees, overmined resources, and incited others to raid the orchards
and farms…‘

When Stephen heard those words, his whole body went numb. Had Nico really committed all those crimes?
Stephen’s tone became serious. “Is what you said true?”
“Absolutely.” Tommy said, “Nico killed the previous village chief. I know where the body
is.”
Stephen’s heart skipped a beat.
He asked, “Where are you?”
Tommy gave his location, and Stephen said he would be there immediately.
After hanging up the call, Tommy wanted to return the phone to the few men, but when he turned around, those men had disappeared.
Soon, Stephen arrived with a group of police. “Take us to the body!”
Tommy led the group up the mountain and soon arrived at the place where the previous

village chief’s body lay.
“It’s here. He’s buried down there.”
The group began digging, and in a few minutes, the village chief’s body appeared before everyone’s eyes.
After examining the body, the forensic expert concluded, “He was killed by a gunshot!”
Stephen’s body tensed when he heard the word gunshot!
He swallowed hard before asking, “Is Stone Village really a hero’s village?”
Tommy shook his head. “I’ve never heard of such a thing.”
Stephen’s face instantly turned pale.
