Chapter 450
The South Regent showed a pleased expression while Jeremy felt like he was struck by lightning
They both understood what Ethan meant by that Although he said that it was none of his business, what he meant was that he did not want to care. With just one sentence, he washed his hands of the situation and agreed to the South Regent’s request!
“No!” Jeremy quickly shouted. “You can’t agree to this!”
The South Regent looked down at him. “Who do you think you are? Do you have the right to speak here?”
Jeremy trembled due to the South Regent’s aura, but he mustered up the courage to say, Don’t act impulsively. I’m very sorry about what happened to Fabian…”
”
“Hah! You still have the nerve to bring up Fabian?” The South Regent interrupted him. “Isn’t snitching your specialty? Go ahead and tell Stephen everything if you dare and guess what he’ll say. Will he say that I’m sinister or will he believe that Nolan is a wolf in sheep’s clothing?”
Jeremy was speechless. He knew very well that Stephen would not believe him even if he told the truth. Stephen would surely think that all this was just an excuse for the South Regent to make a move.
The South Regent continued, “I originally wanted everyone to get along peacefully. Did you know? When I first caught you, it was Fabian who pleaded for you. He thought that you were like him and that you two could one day expose Nolan’s true colors and bring peace to Hill City. Without him, you’d already be dead.
“Now, I really want to tell him that he was wrong about you. You’re just a dog! You’re a powerless, cowardly fool! Your mother died because of your incompetence, and Fabian died because of your cowardice. Listen up. Nolan doesn’t deserve to die, and neither do Stephen and Fabian. The one who should die is you!”
Jeremy’s eyes widened, his entire body frozen on the spot. The South Regent’s words hit him like a lightning bolt, paralyzing his soul.
Fabian had pleaded for him before?
At that moment, Jeremy felt dizzy. He was already kneeling on the ground, but he had to brace himself on his hands to support himself.
“If you want to stop me,” said the South Regent as he took out a gun and tossed it to him, then, kill yourself. Didn’t you tell Lord Rivers that you’d do anything as long as he helped? I won’t let Lord Rivers do anything. If you kill yourself, then I’ll stop.”
Jeremy looked at the gun on the ground.

The image of his mother being pushed out, Fabian’s look of despair as he watched Jeremy leave, and his voice message flooded his mind.
Jeremy picked up the gun and aimed the muzzle at his temple.
However, the gun did not fire. The trigger was too stiff for him to pull. He gripped the gun with both hands, pressing the trigger with two thumbs, but it was still useless.
“Argh!” he screamed, and the gun fell to the ground.
Tears silently rolled down his cheeks. At that moment, he realized how useless he was. He could not do anything. He could not even take his own life.
“Pathetic.” The South Regent picked up the gun. “You don’t even know that you have to turn off the safety.”
Ethan asked, “Are you really not afraid of death?
“I’m sorry. I have to do something.” Jeremy’s voice suddenly became hoarse. It was as if he had aged in an instant.
“Hmph.” The South Regent scoffed and put away the gun without another word. In the end, Jeremy was just another pitiful victim that Nolan manipulated and deceived,
Ethan said, “Since you’re not afraid of death, I can give you a way out.”
Jeremy’s eyes lit
- up.
“What is it?”
Ethan said one sentence. “Enter the fray personally.”
