Chapter 438
Ethan walked over and sat on a chair under a tree then glanced at the stone stool beside him. ” Have a seat.”
Jeremy snapped back to his senses and quickly walked over. “I have some things to ask you, Lord Rivers.”
Ethan said calmly, “Everyone who comes to find me has something they want to ask.”
“I heard from the South Regent that you once brought three years of peace to Riveria, and many people abroad still hope for your return. However, why are so many netizens cursing you?”
“They have different pieces of information, so they view issues from different perspectives,” said Ethan. “Of course, in most cases, it’s because people don’t think things through.”
Jeremy almost laughed at the words. He had mentally prepared himself before coming, thinking that Ethan might be someone very serious. However, it seemed Ethan was much more interesting than he expected.
“Since you once brought peace to Riveria, you must know the South Regent and the Spencers. Can you tell me who the good guy is?”
Ethan smiled. “You should ask Stephen that question, not me.‘
”
Jeremy quickly said, “I’m asking you because he doesn’t know.‘
“If he doesn’t know, how would someone like me, who has been locked up in the mountains, know?”
Jeremy looked at Ethan’s expression and was convinced that Ethan must know. He was merely reluctant to admit it. “Why are you locked up
here?”
“You should ask Stephen that as well.”
Jeremy was shocked. “He’s the one who locked you up here?”
Ethan nodded.
“How could that be?” Jeremy was deeply unsettled.
If Ethan had truly brought three years of peace to Riveria, he should be a hero. Why was he locked
up here?
He knew why Ethan refused to answer his question. Since Stephen was the one who imprisoned him, why would Ethan want to help Stephen?
For a moment, Jeremy did not know what to say. He worked for Stephen. Ethan was already being incredibly gracious for not kicking him out.
“If there’s nothing else, you can go now.” Ethan said, “You must be quite busy.”

Jeremy snapped back to his senses. There were still questions he wanted to ask. For example, why were the people abroad waiting for Ethan? Why did Stephen lock him up? Why was it that he could sit idly by when Riveria was in trouble?
However, after thinking about it, he realized that it was not his place to ask those questions. The only thing he should care about was whether the South Regent and the Spencers were benevolent or malicious, and what they were plotting. He asked Ethan about this, but the latter did not respond.
Jeremy knew that Ethan was locked up here because of Stephen and understood that Ethan would not give him an answer.
“I shall leave now.”
Jeremy left in disappointment. He finally met Ethan, but many questions remained unanswered. The most important issue was unresolved. He descended the mountain and rushed back to Hill City.
When the new week started, he continued investigating the Spencers.

At night, he planned to work overtime as usual and see if he could find information. However, as soon as he approached the door of the archive, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the other end of the hallway.
Someone else was still around!
Jeremy was startled and did not know what to do
At that moment, the door to the archive opened, and a hand pulled him in.
The boss of the company turned the corner into the hallway just as the door slid shut. He quickly strode over to the archive and entered. When he saw that it was empty, he began searching for records while on the phone.
He said anxiously, “I’m looking for it now. I’ll bring it over as soon as I find it.”
“How can you keep an order form for a transaction with foreign forces in the company’s
archive? Do you have a death wish?” Nolan was infuriated.
