Chapter 305
George gritted his teeth at the South Regent. When he saw the South Regent, he immediately pulled out his phone to call for help,
However, the South Regent’s two subordinates acted quickly and pulled out their guns, aiming at George and Rachel.
“Hand over your phones,”
Since this was Ethan’s house, they did not dare to shoot. They only used the guns to threaten George and Rachel, taking away their phones.
The South Regent smiled. “Don’t worry. I’m just here to catch up with an old friend. We’ll leave once I’m done chatting.”
Ethan sat on the sofa and took a sip of tea. “We’re not old friends. Don’t flatter yourself.”
The South Regent smiled awkwardly.
George and Rachel saw the South Regent hold back his temper and were shocked.
In their minds, the South Regent was ruthless. Anyone who spoke to him a little too loudly could result in them being beaten to death, but he could only force a smile after Ethan rebuffed him.
The South Regent looked at the two and asked, “Why did you come looking for Lord Rivers?”
George had come because he had questions, but they were related to the South Regent, so he did not dare to ask now. He was afraid that the subordinates would shoot him dead.
Ethan looked at him and said calmly, “If you have questions, ask while he’s here. After all, instead of asking me how to deal with the South Regent, why not ask him directly?” George broke out in a cold sweat. He did not expect Ethan to have guessed what he wanted to ask.
The South Regent stared at the two. “How to deal with me? Haha.”
He burst into laughter. “That’s a good question, but the answer is simple. If Lord Rivers is willing to help you, then you may deal with me.”
George fell silent.
That answer was as good as useless.
The problem came full circle back to Ethan.
Ethan looked at George and said, “Instead of coming to me, shouldn’t you reflect on how many mistakes you’ve made in Celestial City?”

George lowered his head. How many mistakes did he make?
He truly did not know.
“You don’t know, or you can’t say it?” Ethan said, “If you don’t even know how many mistakes you’ve made, you can just jump off the mountain. Don’t come see me again.”
George was utterly ashamed.
The South Regent watched this scene and sipped his tea with satisfaction, smiling secretly. In the past, it was always him being lectured. Watching someone else get scolded now felt incredibly refreshing!
Rachel saw her father lower his head and felt indignant. “He has already done his best. If it were you, could you have seen through the South Regent’s schemes?”
The South Regent’s smile instantly froze.
Oh no!
She dragged him into the conversation!
Ethan said calmly, “I’m different from you. I knew there was a problem with the mayor Celestial City. I wouldn’t have let Richard drive away his own bodyguards.”

George’s head dropped even lower.
“Even if Richard was captured, I could’ve used the excuse of getting rid of him through the
hands of the South Regent to have his competitors give me a small king propert
George was shocked, and the South Regent was also speechless.
of money.”
After all, whether the money came from Richard or his competitors, it was the same.
Furthermore, after receiving the money, he could pin the blame on the competitors, claiming that they had orchestrated Richard’s kidnapping. Thus, Celestial City would still appear safe.
Not only would he get the money, but it would also calm the public!
What about the South Regent?
The businessman he had captured would be worthless! He would have no choice but to release Richard or kill him. Either way, it would benefit Ethan!
George’s eyes trembled. He had not thought of that at all!
“If I didn’t go after Richard’s competitors, I could’ve sought out the South Regent’s rivals and have them take Richard back.”
