Chapter 288
The village chief choked up. “He’s been here.”
He looked around, trying to find Ethan.
Then, he saw a familiar figure standing under a dim streetlight across the road.
At that moment, the village chief froze. Tears began streaming down his face uncontrollably.
Ethan really was still alive. Furthermore, he had come today!
Stephen noticed the village chief’s gaze and followed it. When he saw the figure under the streetlight, his body trembled. He had interacted so many times with Ethan lately that even if Ethan turned to ashes, he would still recognize him.
The person under the streetlight was none other than Ethan!
He actually appeared here and even brought a gift for the villagers!
The village chief wanted to run over, but at that moment, a bus drove by on the road…
When the bus passed, the area under the streetlight was already empty.
Thud.
The village chief suddenly knelt on the ground.
“Thank you.”
The villagers, George, and the online viewers did not know what happened.
Why did the village chief suddenly kneel?
Only Stephen knew that he had seen Ethan.
It was Ethan who had avenged the villagers.
The blood on the gun had long since dried, indicating it was not a recent kill. Perhaps Ethan had avenged the villagers three years ago and only waited until the perfect moment today to deliver this gift to them.
As Stephen thought about it, he wondered if everything he had done was also part of Ethan’s plan.
The posthumous titles, the new community…
All of it was part of Ethan’s plan to obtain benefits for the villagers!
Stephen felt a deep sense of defeat. He sighed and said to George, “Let’s go.”

George did not understand but left with Stephen anyway.
The viewers were even more confused.
“Why did the village chief suddenly kneel and thank the road?”
“Why did Stephen suddenly take George and leave?”
“The village chief said, ‘He’s been here‘. Who exactly is ‘he‘? We didn’t see anyone.”
They were all confused. There were simply too many questions.
The village chief’s gratitude should be directed at Stephen.
Why did he thank the road?
After leaving the community, George asked, “What’s wrong? Why the sudden mood change? Why did we leave?”
Stephen said, “I saw Ethan.”
“What?” George was stunned and quickly looked around, trying to find Ethan’s figure.
Ethan was supposed to be locked up on Drakthorn Ridge. How could he be here?
“Stop looking. He’s already gone,” said Stepi.
He was shocked by Ethan’s appearance, but he could accept it. After all, Ethan had suddenly appeared in Snow’s hometown before.
Stephen sighed again at the thought of Snow.
Celestial City had suddenly fallen apart. He wondered when he would be able to openly
search for her.
Even though the Quinns had sent people to look for her, so much time had passed, but they had not even finished searching all the villages in a single city, let alone the whole of Riveria. Even if they searched for a lifetime, they might never find her.
Furthermore, Snow might still move. If she moved to another village that they had already searched, it would be impossible to find her even in a thousand years.
George was puzzled. “Did he really show up? Isn’t he in Drakthorn Ridge?”
Stephen said helplessly, “Why would I lie to you? Let’s go. I haven’t eaten all day. I’m starving.”
The two found a roadside stall and ordered some finger foods.
The vendor was a skilled chef, and Stephen’s mood instantly improved slightly when he smelled the food. He started wolfing down his meal.

Just then, a girl’s voice came from the table on the side. “Why did you waste money on so much food again? We won’t be able to finish all this.”
Stephen’s hand holding the fork suddenly slowed. He turned his head and stared blankly.
What familiar words.
Once upon a time, Snow had said the same words to him.
“Even if your family’s rich, you shouldn’t waste money.”
He saw the back of a woman with long hair, but she was not Snow. Stephen lowered his head slowly in sorrow.
