The South Regent remained silent. He knew that Ethan could do such a thing, so he must give Ethan an undeniable reason or force Ethan to make a move.
It was like when they had saved Dr. Rodman. A single command from Ethan made the South Regent send soldiers to go after the leader who kidnapped Dr. Rodman. In the end, Ethan made the forces behind the leader come after him.
The South Regent always thought that his plan to kidnap the tycoon, if not flawless, was at least impeccable. However, he realized it was full of loopholes after hearing what Ethan said.
George felt his mouth go dry.
Ethan could make another fortune or bring the tycoon back without exerting a single soldier or penny, but what about them? All they could do was obediently follow the South Regent’s orders!
George suddenly felt that the gap between them and Ethan was huge.
Rachel also lowered her head. She thought Ethan would also be helpless, so she did not expect him to propose three ideas so easily! Moreover, all three of them were ideas they had never considered!
“Are making up a legend and opening a food court around tourist spots the only things you can think of?” Ethan continued, “Compared to Azure Cloud Mountain, these villages are even more suitable to be promoted as classic tourist destinations, and they carry a lot of historical significance.
“There are also a few dishes in these villages that have saved countless lives during the chaos three years ago.
“Now that I’ve explained things, George, you should know what to do next, right?”
George’s face was filled with regret as he said, “We will promote these villages as memorials and tourist spots. Then, we can elevate those dishes as a local specialty. With that, we can boost the villages‘ reputation and attract more tourists.
“Since we already have the village chief and the villagers‘ stories, we won’t have to make anything up.
“By doing all this, not only will we be able to properly handle the villagers‘ issues, but we’ll be able to make Celestial City money.
“I… We never realized any of this!”
George lowered his head, his back drenched in cold sweat.

As for the issues regarding properties, the housing prices in the development zone, and the food court’s rent, Ethan had already imposed a price restriction. If they had not lifted Ethan’s restrictions, Celestial City would not have experienced a bubble economy!
George previously thought that the South Regent was scary enough. However, after comparing him with Ethan, he realized that the South Regent was nothing.
Even now, the South Regent was still sitting across George, his head down, unable to say anything.
Ethan took a sip of tea. He still had ways to deal with Mark. The easiest way was to get Daniel to scam a large sum of money from the South Regent, like how Howard deceived Stephen. Then, he would get Daniel to kill Mark Finally, he would help Daniel to become the boss, completely clearing the company’s name and taking control of the company for his benefit.
However, he would not reveal any of this because he was no longer running Riveria. The solutions he offered were for problems that had already occurred, and those problems were beyond repair. If he were to reveal the way to deal with Mark’s company, George would immediately use his method against Mark.
Ethan looked at the South Regent. “Have you realized how many mistakes you’ve made in your actions?”
The South Regent was drenched in sweat. He realized he had laughed too early just now! Ethan continued, “With the amount of mistakes you made, I’d need to write them down just to keep track of them. But since your plan succeeded, I can’t be bothered to judge you.‘
Only then did the South Regent secretly let out a sigh of relief. He managed to survive! He had long been afraid of Ethan’s criticism.
What Ethan said, such as “When you’re scheming, it fills Riveria with an air of stupidity,” and “Stop overthinking; you’re making it hard to breathe for me,” echoed in the South Regent’s mind again.
George and Rachel were stunned when they noticed that the South Regent’s face was covered in a sheen. Ethan criticized him so much by Ethan that he could barely breathe.
However, their situation was no better when they thought about it. Just like the South Regent, they were like clueless students handing in assignments filled with mistakes, and the professor grading them was Ethan.
