Chapter 388
Andy shook off Stephen’s hand. “Because I was wrong.”
Stephen took a few steps back, unable to believe that Andy was willingly kneeling to Ethan and refusing to be helped up. His mind buzzed in confusion.
He could not understand what was happening. He thought Andy wanted to see Ethan to expose him and take revenge, but it was actually to apologize. All his efforts in calling the reporters for a live broadcast were in vain.
Ethan looked at Andy. “It seems you’ve been through a lot.”
“Yes.” Andy lowered his head. “In the past, I thought my fists and physical prowess were real strength.”
When he was outside the borders, he had been beaten down time and time again. What he had once considered impressive skills turned out to be nothing more than a joke in the eyes of others.
“I insulted you and even wanted to get back at you. Please forgive me. I realized how wrong Ì
was.”
Stephen stepped forward, unable to believe what he was hearing. “Why are you apologizing to him? Wasn’t it he who had the South Regent capture you and send you outside the borders?”
Andy looked up. “No. I was captured because I was too impulsive. I wanted to prove my strength, so I challenged the people outside the borders. That was how I got captured. Far from harming me, Ethan actually saved me–twice.”
“Huh?” Stephen was dumbfounded.
“What?”
The netizens were also shocked. No one had expected Ethan not to harm Andy but to save him, not once but twice. They were all too stunned to react.
Andy turned to Ethan and continued, “I’ve met many people, and they’re all hoping you would save them.”
Ethan smiled. “I’m just a prisoner.”
Andy fell silent. He wanted to help Ethan, but he knew his strength alone was not enough. He felt the crushing weight of his own powerlessness, more than ever before.
Stephen snapped back to his senses and glared at Ethan. “What the hell did you do? Did you manipulate Andy into this somehow? You’ve been locked up this whole time. How could you have saved him? It was us who saved him.”
Ethan nodded calmly. “Yes, you’re right. It was you who offered a huge reward of 500 thousand dollars to have people outside the borders look for Andy.”

The moment Andy heard that, his head shot up, eyes wide with shock and disbelief as he stared at Stephen. Then, the shock and disbelief turned into anger.
It turned out it was Stephen who caused him to be hunted down! It was Stephen who killed the man who saved him and got Scarface into that mess!
At that moment, Andy was furious. For the first time, he realized what all his training should really be used for
“You bastard!” he roared and stood up from the ground, punching Stephen squarely in the face.
Stephen stumbled back from the punch. When he regained his balance, he was stunned, and so were the viewers.
“What’s going on?”
“Why is Andy hitting Stephen instead of Ethan?”
“Aren’t they allies?”
No one understood what was happening.
Startled, Marcus ran up in a panic to hold Andy back.
“What’s wrong with you? Calm down. It’s Stephen!”
Andy clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. “He’s the one I want to punch. If you try to stop
I’ll punch you too!”
me,
Marcus gulped nervously. It was his first time seeing Andy so enraged. It was as if Stephen had murdered his family or committed some unforgivable crime.
Stephen held his cheek, equally angry at being hit for no reason.
“Why did you hit me? I spent a fortune on a reward to save you, but you hit me instead?”
Mentioning the reward only made Andy angrier.
