Chapter 225
Samuel was in Metropolis!
Three years ago, he got hurt on the battlefield and was forced to retire to recover.
“He’s in Metropolis. Why are you looking for him? I’ll meet him instead,” Simon said.
Stephen said, “I want to ask him about the student’s location… the student of the Grand Marshal.”
Simon immediately understood the assignment. He hung up the phone and went looking for Samuel.
In a massive courtyard house, Simon met Samuel who had silver hair and a scrawny figure. Many years of war had taken a toll on his body, leaving him with countless scars and illnesses. He was only in his early 60s but looked twice as old.
Samuel was surprised to see Simon. He got up and said, “I didn’t know you were coming. Please forgive me for not welcoming you properly.
“It’s totally fine.”
Even Simon dared not ask the man to officially welcome him.
Samuel was one of the Grand Marshal’s right–hand men and a general himself. He had three sons, two of whom had died on the battlefield.
In fact, Simon respected the man and thanked him for his contributions.
“Have a seat.”
Simon then said, “I am here to ask for a favor.”
Samuel looked curious. “What is this about?”
“The South Regent abducted a wealthy man in Celestial City and has demanded a hundred billion in ransom.”
Samuel frowned. “The South Regent swore never to cross the border.”
“Well, he broke his promise.”
Samuel found that unlikely. Ethan scared the South Regent away like the latter was a little boy.
Simon continued, “We even have the South Regent’s recording. He has abducted someone called Richard Okane and is demanding a hundred billion.”
Looking at his serious face, Samuel knew that Simon was not lying. “So, are you here to ask me to lead forces over there?”

“No.” Simon shook his head. “We heard that the Grand Marshal’s student defeated the South Regent three years ago.”
A sudden realization struck Samuel. “I see. It’s been three years since I saw him. I wonder If I can still contact him.
Due to his injuries, his body was not as healthy as before, and the doctor recommended he stay close to home.
“How about I call him and see if he can help?”
Simon immediately said, “Much appreciated!”
Samuel picked up his phone and called Ethan.
Ethan picked up his phone. When he saw the caller ID, he already knew what it was about. Stephen must have reached out to Samuel.
He answered the phone.
“Ethan, I have a friend here that needs your help. I wonder if you have the time.”
Ethan smiled and said, “What is it?”
“The South Regent has abducted someone in Celestial City, and our friend here hopes that you can help bring the person back.”
As anticipated, Stephen went to Samuel for help.
Ethan said, “Sure. I will write a letter to the South Regent. Tell your friend to come and get
it from me.

“Alright. Thank you,” Samuel said in gratitude,
He then looked at Simon. “He has agreed to help. He will write a letter for you to take it to the South Regent.”
Simon asked, “How are we

Ethan Rivers?!
a to get the letter?”
Simon was stunned. He thought Ethan was simply lucky to know the Grand Marshal’s student.
Fortunately, the mysterious student did not offer any help to break Ethan out and simply asked him to deliver the letter.
“Thank you so much.” Simon nodded.
After leaving the place, he called Stephen and informed him of the great news. They could
