“I am not familiar with Riveria from three years ago. I should ask someone who knows. better.”
Stephen thought of George who had been living in Riveria and should know the truth about the South Regent’s defeat. He went looking for George immediately.
“Three years ago, who defeated the South Regent?”
The question made George ponder for a moment. “To be honest, I don’t really know. I just know that the South Regent left overnight. I also know that it is related to Ethan.”
With the Grand Marshal in power, George never really cared about Riveria back then.
After the Grand Marshal passed away, Ethan took over, so he continued his carefree life. He lived happily and peacefully for three years. As for why the South Regent retreated overnight, he only heard rumors about it.
Stephen frowned. “Is this also related to Ethan?”
Three years ago, Ethan was the one who had brought peace to Riveria.
“Could Ethan be the Grand Marshal’s student?”
However, Stephen quickly shook his head to discard the thought because it was impossible.
They had done a background check on Ethan before. Ethan was an orphan, and his place of birth was unknown. He had no relation to the Grand Marshal at all.
Moreover, if he really was the Grand Marshal’s student, why did he not say anything about it?
If he admitted it, no one would dare to arrest him. Even the Quinns would not dare to act so brazenly.
Ethan saying nothing meant that he did not know about the Grand Marshal.
“So, that leaves us with one explanation: Ethan must know the Grand Marshal’s student. The student doesn’t want to be involved in politics, so after Riveria regained its peace, he gave Ethan credit.”
Stephen believed it was highly possible.
In the past three years, he had not heard anything about the student, so the latter must be deliberately staying away from politics. Maybe he was still protecting Riveria in the dark up until this day.
“If we want to find the student, we must go to Ethan. Maybe he knows where the student is,” Stephen muttered.

Without further ado, he quickly went back and headed to Drakthorn Ridge for Ethan.
He had to locate the student as soon as possible, ask him to help, and demand that the South Regent release Richard. Otherwise, the hundred–billion deal would be ruined. He would also become the laughingstock of the century.
The South Regent’s men had abducted Richard right before his eyes, yet he could not do anything about it.
A while later, Stephen arrived at the same old mansion.
“Ethan!” he bellowed as soon as he entered the living hall.
Ethan was on the couch, looking at him calmly. It seems like you are recovering well. You sure made my ears ring.”
Stephen went closer and scofChapter fed, “I emerged from defeat and came back better and stronger. Surprised? Your tricks don’t work on me!”
“Really?” Ethan smiled and then put an envelope on the table. “Snow sent me another letter.”
Stephen was shaken. He snatched the envelope immediately but realized that it was not a new letter. It was Snow’s last words.
He felt like his heart was being stabbed.
“So, you really came back better and stronger?” Ethan said.
Stephen realized that Ethan had just played him. His expression turned grim as he kept the envelope away.
He
le switched the topic and said, “I am here to talk to you about something else. Three years ago, someone brought peace to Riveria. Where is he now?”
“Here.”
“Here? Where?”
