Chapter 454
Rory was confused. Why was Jeremy here? Did he betray Stephen?
After the deal, Jeremy left with his group. Rory took the goods and called Nolan on the way back, telling him that he saw Jeremy.
“Hm?” Nolan was first stunned, then started to laugh. “Poor Stephen. I didn’t expect Jeremy to betray him too. I wonder how he’ll react when he finds out.”
At that thought, he called Stephen excitedly.
“What is it?” Stephen asked.
Nolan smiled. “I know where Jeremy is.”
“What?” Stephen instantly grew serious. “Where did he go? He ran off with my money. I’ll lock him up when I find him!”
“He went abroad,” Nolan said. “He joined one of the foreign forces and is smuggling contraband into Hill City. He’s involved in the problems that Hill City is facing right now.”
Stephen was stunned. He never expected this.
“That bastard! Ingrate!” Stephen felt like he was going crazy. He had given Jeremy money, but the latter betrayed him and even joined foreign forces to smuggle contraband into Hill City. It was a direct challenge to him!
“Catch him! I want to personally execute him!”
The call ended.
Nolan could not stop laughing. He decided that the next time he met Jeremy, he would ask Jeremy what he was thinking. However, before that, he had to sell off the illegal goods in his hands first.
The demand in Hill City was very high now.
Three years ago, Hill City had been a chaotic place because there were many people like Nico stirring trouble. It was not until Ethan arrived and those people were gotten rid of that Hill City found peace.
Now that Ethan was gone and Stephen caused dissatisfaction in Hill City, they began to yearn for the days three years ago when the one with the biggest fists would earn the most money.

Many villagers started buying guns, preparing to seize control of the mountains and mines. Other people also started getting involved in trading illegal goods.
Stephen caused these problems but could not resolve them. In that case, they would take matters into their own hands!
The tension in Hill City rose rapidly. In just one week, Nolan’s stock was sold out. He told Rory to arrange another batch. This time, he went along himself!
Outside the borders, the team leader approached Jeremy and said, “You’ll lead the team this time. I’ll watch from the side. Do a good job.”
The next day, Jeremy saw Nolan in a remote village.
At that moment, his body trembled from the emotions of finally seeing Nolan. He had prepared for nearly half a month all for this moment!
Nolan chuckled. “I didn’t think I’d see you in a place like this.”
Jeremy said nervously, “Yeah, neither did I.”
“I’m curious. Why did you betray Stephen?”
That question made Jeremy pause. In fact, he had not betrayed Stephen. He had no choice but to do this because Stephen did not believe him and refused to help.
“He’s too stupid.” Jeremy came up with an excuse. “Even back in school, he never won against me. I don’t want to follow such a stupid person. I want to build my own empire.”
Clap, clap, clap!
Nolan applauded. “Good! I like your ambition. Why don’t you join me?”
Jeremy shook his head. “Thanks, but I prefer where I am now.”
“Very well.” Nolan grinned. “I also think that Stephen is an idiot. Well, let’s see what goods we have this time.”
