Chapter 42
The shock made Eric forget the scalding pain in his thighs.
The town of Lytton respected not the police commander but Ethan, the useless trash who got arrested?
“How? How is that useless trash worthy of your respect?”
Eric found it difficult to accept. He had dreamt of being the commander day and night, and his dream was finally realized, only for him to find out that it meant nothing unless it was under Ethan’s leadership. Without Ethan, his position as commander was completely
worthless.
Brandon chuckled. “That’s right. Without Ethan, do you think you’re worthy of Lytton’s respect? It was Ethan who made you people who you are today.”
He knew Ethan well because he viewed the man as his rival. He was certain that as long as
Ethan was around, Riveria could thrive for another hundred years.
To his shock, Ethan did not lose to the enemies who tried to disrupt the order and Riveria but fell to the betrayal of his own people.
After finding out what happened to Ethan, Brandon sighed deeply.
“Ethan, you rendered all my tactics useless.”
peace of
Eric’s mind went blank. He could not accept that Ethan had built them up and made them what they were today.
“How could this be?” Eric was at a loss.
He thought by becoming the police commander, the townspeople of Lytton would welcome him with respect, but it turned out it had only ever been because of Ethan. Without Ethan, the townspeople would not take him seriously.
The shock was too much for him to handle.
“Click!”
Just then, Sky locked the office door. That was when Eric finally snapped out of his daze. and realized several strong men had entered the room without him realizing.
“What are you people trying to do? I’m still the police commander. If anything happens to me, none of you will get away with it!”
Panic started to set in. He was alone and overwhelmed by numbers. If a fight broke out, he would not stand a chance.
Brandon said, “Commander, you must be kidding me. You’re in Lytton, and everyone here

is our man. If anything happens to you here, no outsider will know about it.”
Eric guiped nervously. “Are you threatening me”
“I’m just stating a fact,” Brandon replied while taking a sip of tea.
Not everyone could come into Lytton alone like Ethan did and then bring a group of people
away.
Eric was sweating profusely. Even though the air–conditioning in the room was freezing, his forehead glistened with sweat.
“W–What are you people trying to do?” he said as his voice grew softer.
“We know why you’re here. It’s because of the illegal immigrants, right?” Brandon answered.
Eric was shocked. “You brought them in?”
Brandon nodded. There was no need for him to hide it from Eric anymore. Without Ethan around, he was afraid of no one in North Hill City.
He asked, “Commander, how much do you get paid each month?”
Eric looked surprised. He did not understand why Brandon would ask that, but he always assumed his pay was not considered high.
He wanted to become a commander because his pay was low back then and he had to deal with a lot of work. He simply believed he could make more money and gain more benefits by becoming a commander.
Before Eric could answer, Brandon interrupted him. “It’s okay. I see the answer from your expression. Do you know how much one of us can earn here a month?”
Eric was curious as to how much a farmer could earn in Lytton.
Sky said, “When it’s a cold season, we earn around 50 thousand per month.”
In the hot season, they could earn more than a hundred thousand dollars.
Eric was stunned when he heard of the numbers.
