Chapter 335
Nico suddenly realized something.
He thought that with Ethan imprisoned in Drakthorn Ridge, he was finally safe and could take his revenge on Hill City and Ethan. However, the truth was that he had never escaped Ethan’s grasp.
“You will repeat your brother’s path.” Ethan’s words echoed in his ears.
At that time, he thought he would be killed by his family, Tommy, like what happened to his brother, but now, he finally understood what Ethan meant. It turned out he would kill his own family again, and this time, it was his son.
“Why? Why?”
Nico looked down at Tommy’s lifeless body, tears streaming down his face.
“Is this karma? Is it because I have blood on my hands? Is it all the crimes I’ve committed that caused my family’s suffering? Could this all be my doing?”
His expression turned cold, and he gritted his teeth.
“Ethan, you really want to stop me, huh? Do you really want to force me into a corner? Are you not going to let me go?”
Stephen heard the aggressive tone in Nico’s voice and immediately asked, “Nico, what do you want to do? Calm down. Listen to your son for once and stop acting recklessly.”
Nico slowly laid down Tommy’s body and then threw his gun aside. He could not take the gun away as it was meant to frame George.
“I want to see Ethan. I will… kill him.”
Stephen and George were both stunned, but George, in particular, was horrified.
Kill Ethan? Nico had really gone mad. He had just killed someone, injured Julius, and deceived all of them. Now, he wanted to fly from Hill City to Riveria to seek revenge on Ethan? Who did he think they were?
Seeing Nico stand up, Stephen frowned and said, “Do you think you can escape? My men have had this place surrounded!”
Nico was eerily calm. “I know, but I didn’t do anything. George attacked Julius and then killed my son. I’m also a victim.
“All I have to do is walk out and say that George had gone mad, shooting people with a gun. They’ll focus on you, not me. Then, I can escape amidst the chaos.”
Stephen and George were shocked to hear that Nico wanted to pin all the crimes on George

Stephen wanted to retort him, but only five people had witnessed what happened. Among them, Julius was gravely injured and on the brink of death, Tommy was dead, and the remaining three could not explain the truth right now. Even if they could investigate it, the delay in time was enough for Nico to escape.
Nico said, “You can’t stop me. Ethan… may be able to predict our ending, but I refuse to believe he can predict his own. My brother couldn’t decide how he died, so Ethan can’t decide his own death either!”
He glanced at George and Stephen one last time, saying, “Goodbye, you both.”
After that, he raised his hands as if surrendering and walked toward the door.
Stephen and George started to get anxious. If Nico’s evil plan succeeded, he would get away scot–free. Once successful, he would have gotten rid of the mayor and framed George. The impact on Hill City and the whole of Riveria would be huge.
With its current development progress, the economy was about to take flight in Hill City, and any slight movement would wreak havoc on the city’s economy. Besides, if Nico really escaped, he would continue finding ways to destroy Hill City.
George and Stephen only had one thought in their minds right now: they absolutely could not let Nico escape!
