Just as Stephen was about to give the order to capture Jeremy, he received a call from Simon. “Dad, what’s the matter?”
Simon asked, “Have you seen the news online?”
“Yes.” Stephen broke out in a cold sweat. If even his father knew, so did the federal government in the metropolis. He would be doomed if he did not handle this matter well.
“Capture him immediately!” Simon said in a stern voice.
“I understand. I know this person. He’s one of my classmates, and I was the one who brought him to Hill City.” Stephen’s face turned pale. “I never thought he would side with foreign forces, so I’ll catch him myself!”
Simon was stunned. “What? You were the one who brought him to Hill City?”
At that moment, Simon felt his body tense up. If people were to learn about this, Stephen would definitely be criticized, making it even harder for him to enter the cabinet.
“No, you can’t capture him alive.” Simon gritted his teeth and continued in a low voice, “Find a way to kill him. You can’t give him the chance to speak, don’t believe him no matter what he says.”
Stephen felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his whole body froze in shock. ‘Kill Jeremy?‘
“Listen to me. You must kill him. If he were to accuse you of being the one who brought him to Hill City, you’d be in trouble, so it’s best to directly kill you. Besides, what he’s doing now is enough to get him killed ten times over.”
Stephen took a deep breath, trying his best to calm himself. “I understand, I’ll kill him.”
Stephen had no attachment to Jeremy and had only seen him as a tool from the start. However, he had never killed someone before, so the thought of doing it himself felt a little uncomfortable.
After giving his instructions, Simon hung up the call. Before Stephen could even let out a sigh of relief, his phone rang again.
Nolan had also seen the news and immediately felt nervous. He never expected

Jeremy to be secretly filming them! If Jeremy were to spread the recording of their transaction, he would be completely exposed!
Nolan immediately contacted Stephen and told him, “I found Jeremy. I’ll send you his location right away!”
Stephen was delighted. “Sure!”
After sending Jeremy’s location to Stephen, Nolan continued, “You must be careful. He has a weapon, and he’s surrounded by ruthless people. I suggest shooting him on sight!”
It was yet another suggestion to kill Jeremy Stephen remained silent for a moment before saying, “I understand.”
After hanging up the call, he gathered his men to go after Jeremy.
As Jeremy was about to drive away from Hill City, Stephen led his men to block his way while Nolan and his men sealed off the rear. Jeremy was completely trapped. Now, his only means of escape was jumping into the river nearby. However, Jeremy had no intention of fleeing.
Jeremy glanced at Nolan and knew that Nolan had told Stephen his whereabouts, but he no longer cared. Once he left Drakthorn Ridge, he stopped caring about his life. Since he had gotten the evidence and had begun building momentum online, his plan was nearly complete.
“Jeremy, you truly deserve to die!” Stephen gritted his teeth.
Jeremy did not explain anything. Instead, he reached for his collar and said, “I have something you’ll definitely be interested in.”
“Stop!” Seeing Jeremy’s movements, Stephen instantly had his guard up.
Everyone behind Stephen had aimed their guns at Jeremy, while some with a riot shield stepped in front of Stephen to protect him.
“Relax. What I’m giving you is evidence of an illegal trade between Nolan and me!” The moment Jeremy finished speaking, he looked toward Nolan.
Nolan’s face darkened instantly. He had guessed it right. Jeremy had indeed gathered the evidence. What should he do? At that moment, Nolan truly began to panic.
