Simon agreed wholeheartedly. He must keep Ethan locked up in the mountains. Even if the sky collapsed, they could not release him.
Dr. Rodman followed Stephen and George to a hospital in Celestial City. With him performing the surgery, Lucas was able to get out of danger. He could wake up in a few days.
Then, after two months of rest and recovery in the hospital, he could be released and return to his home.
When the villagers heard that Lucas was saved, they were so moved that they knelt to thank Dr. Rodman..
Reporters also came to interview him.
Facing the show of gratitude and interviews, Dr. Rodman said, “The person you should thank is not me but Ethan. Mr. Rivers asked me to save him.”
The reporter frowned. “Wasn’t it Stephen and George?”
“No. They did not care about Lucas’s life at all. If Mr. Fors hadn’t received word that Lucas was in a critical situation, he most likely would’ve
The reporter was shocked. What explosive news!
ed.”
Stephen and George were the culprits while Ethan was the savior!
The villagers chimed in, “Lucas turned out like this because of Stephen and George. He framed us as a criminal gang! How pitiful of Lucas. He gave everything for Celestial City, only to meet such a tragic end.”
Once the news spread out, the Internet was shocked.
“The village chief is out of danger, and it was Ethan who sent help?”
“Stephen and George caused the village chief to be in danger, yet they didn’t care?”
“Is he really the Grand Marshal’s mentee?”
“Stephen, explain yourself!”
“I can’t believe Ethan went out of his way to save someone, persuading Dr. Rodman. Isn’t he a criminal? Why would he help the village chief and manage to convince Dr. Rodman?”
“Is there more to this story?”
“It’s possible. The way Stephen has been acting now doesn’t feel like the Grand Marshal’s
mentee.”

“I feel like there are secrets that Ethan is hiding!”
“At this point, we might only get an answer if we find the person managing Riveria before.”
Many people began questioning Stephen on the Internet, and quite a few thought there was more to the story about Ethan.
Stephen and George looked at the online discussions with a grim expression. Ethan’s slander had started to work.
The people thought they did not care about Lucas’s life, were cold–blooded and heartless, and really wanted to let a hero die.
Fortunately, they received instructions from the federal government on the solution.
He immediately released a statement.
“We did not ignore the village chief. Instead, we were following up on the village’s matters. Now that things have come to an end, we are happy to tell everyone that we have selected a better location for the villagers to build their village. All construction costs will be waived! Moreover, we will build new roads to make it ea to access the city…”
Upon seeing it, the public reacted.
“They were busy with village matters. Did we wrongly blame Stephen?”
“It’s commendable to provide such good arrangements for the village’s future.”
“Waiving all costs alone is praiseworthy!”
“Stephen finally did something good. I’ll take back my previous doubts.‘
Stephen’s online reputation improved, and fewer people criticized him. Stephen and George were glad and felt relieved.
Did they safely survive the crisis?
“Ethan’s move was ruthless, but we weren’t outdone.”
“If Ethan realizes that his slander didn’t have the desired effects, he will probably go with anger.
““,
“I wonder what he will think when he sees the current situation.”
Stephen felt smug as he thought they had successfully resolved Ethan’s attacks. This proved that Ethan was not undefeatable!

However, Lucas woke up three days later and was immediately interviewed by reporters.
He revealed the truth Ethan wanted everyone to know. “Stephen and his men took our village. Every inch of land there was built with our blood, and every brick was our flesh. But

he used 6 thousand dollars per square meter to snatch everything away.
“The village is gone. And even with the little money we got, we couldn’t buy a house in the city, and building houses outside the city wasn’t allowed. We had nowhere to go. When I went to seek justice from Stephen, many of the children had already fallen ill from being homeless.
“Their parents sacrificed themselves on the battlefield. If they saw that their homes were stolen away from their children now, without a place to live, what would they think?
“I’m a useless village chief. I didn’t protect everyone and even caused them to be accused as part of a criminal gang. I don’t deserve to live.”
When this interview aired, the Internet exploded in outrage. Everyone was furious.
