The Guardian's Return Chapter 230
Everyone listened silently. It felt like they had traveled back twelve years ago and witnessed the chaos in Riveria alongside the Grand Marshal. At that time, the South Regent was still young, and their main enemy were ruthless old-generation men, led by the South Regent’s father. The Grand Marshal had four chances to defeat the South Regent’s father, but each time, something unexpected happened. The first time, chaos broke out within Riveria, and he had to return with his troops. The second time, their enemy’s reinforcements came just in time. The third time, the troop’s commander fell gravely ill just before the operation. The fourth time, he had set fire to the enemy’s camp, and they had no way to escape, but then, a sudden rain extinguished the flames. “It was from that day onward that the Grand Marshal’s health began to fail.” Samuel sighed. The enemy always seemed to have divine intervention on their side, escaping from death time and time again.“In the last three yea

Stephen immediately recognized the golden opportunity. Without wasting a second, he contacted the media to set up a live broadcast to explore the place where the Grand Marshal once lived on the foot of Sky Peak. Soon, they found a cave at the foot of Sky Peak. At the entrance stood a wooden door covered in dust, indicating it had been abandoned for a long time.Stephen pushed the door open, and a musty smell wafted out. He waved his hand around and waited a while before leading everyone inside, where there was electricity, lights, and a fan in the cave, which were all still functional. When the lights turned on, everyone saw the simple structure in the cave. A large table sat in the middle, clearly used for meetings, and a map of Riveria’s surroundings was hung on the wall. What drew everyone’s attention the most was the display beneath the map. A few framed photos sat on a wooden counter, and there, in the center, was a portrait of the late Grand Marshal himself. Seeing the Gra

Ethan was the Grand Marshal’s mysterious mentee!Simon tried to calm himself down and asked Samuel, “Ethan Rivers… Is he the Grand Marshal’s mentee?”He still held a glimmer of hope, wishing the news was false. After all, how could Ethan be the Grand Marshal’s mentee? If it were true, Ethan’s status would be entirely different.The main issue was that everyone had heard of his achievements just now. He avenged the Grand Marshal, chased away the South Regent, and brought peace to the chaotic Riveria. Any of those feats would make him a hero, celebrated across the nation, with promotions and fame awaiting him. However, for unlawfully detaining Ethan, Simon and Stephen would be certain to face severe punishment and perhaps even retribution. Simon kept praying, hoping everything was false and that Ethan was not the Grand Marshal’s mentee. Under his hopeful gaze, Samuel nodded. “Yes, Ethan is the Grand Marshal’s mentee.”Simon’s legs turned weak, and he had to sit down to stop him

Stephen’s flashlight was as bright as the sun, stopping right beside Ethan’s face, blurring his features. Hence, people could only make out his figure. “He looks a little familiar, but I can’t recall where I’ve seen him before.”Many people commented, “Yeah, he looks familiar.”“Where exactly have we seen him before?”“Search the internet! Find any young man that looks similar to this person in the photo!”The internet started searching for the identity of the Grand Marshal’s mysterious mentee. When Stephen saw it, his back was drenched in sweat. In a panic, he dialed Simon’s number. “Dad, someone has posted a recording online, and everyone is looking for Ethan now.”Simon also saw the video online. He immediately ordered the video to be deleted and banned it from being posted online. “They might be searching, but they can’t possibly find Ethan that quickly.” Simon comforted Stephen while also assuring himself. “The people will start with the young and promising individual

Why had Ethan not mentioned it before? If he had said he was the Grand Marshal’s mentee, would things have come to that point?Little did Simon know that Ethan had mentioned it more than once, but Stephen did not believe it. “If Shawn and Howard didn’t post those photos, we would’ve almost gotten away with it.”At the thought of Shawn and Howard, Simon’s eyes lit up as an idea struck him.“It’s fake.” Simon said, “I’ve investigated it. These posts and photos all came from beyond the border. Someone is intentionally stirring up trouble, and I suspect it to be Shawn and Howard.”The others immediately found it possible, but they still had someone check the origin of those posts. Sure enough, they were from beyond the border. “It seems like they’re really intent on causing trouble.”“How despicable. They’ve escaped, yet instead of hiding, how dare they show themselves again?”“We need to arrest them quickly!”“But for now, most importantly, we must clear up the situation.”The

All of the passersby were shocked. They quickly looked at those women, gazes full of admiration. Reporters caught wind of the news and arrived to interview the crowd. “Ethan impersonated the Grand Marshal’s mentee and is now hated by the majority. Why are you helping him?”“Mr. Rivers did not impersonate anyone. He is the Grand Marshal’s mentee.”“Do you have evidence?”A few women silently took out photos of their late husbands and proof of their sacrifice. The reporters looked at them, stunned. “Our husbands were once at the frontlines with Mr. Rivers.”“Is this evidence enough?”The usually quick-witted reporter was at a loss for words at that moment. Should she question them or their husbands? If she did, she might as well resign now. Should she question Ethan? That would be questioning the widows of those heroes before her, and public opinion could kill her. “Mr. Rivers brought Daddy back to us himself. He kept apologizing to us,” a girl said loudly. “Mr. Rivers
The Guardian's Return Chapter 236
Simon knew it must have to do with Ethan.Earlier, when Howard, Shawn, and the others stood up for Ethan, he could chalk it up to them stirring up trouble. However, what about the South Regent and the heroes’ widows speaking up?The South Regent had personally admitted that Ethan was the man who killed his father and defeated him many times. What did that imply? The King Beyond The Border was openly airing his dirty laundry. Could it possibly be just to stir up trouble?Someone like the South Regent, with his reputation and dignity, would never tarnish themselves to help an enemy.It would make more sense if he were jumping up and shouting, “Ethan Rivers is impersonating the late Grand Marshall’s mentee! Execute him now!” However, he was speaking on Ethan’s behalf instead, and that could only mean one thing: the South Regent was deeply impressed by Ethan. He admired his adversary and did not want to see him defeated by such underhanded schemes!As for the widows, how could their
The Guardian's Return Chapter 237
Simon fell silent.“Say something,” someone urged.“I don’t know,” he replied, struggling to come up with an excuse. He could only attempt to argue, “Maybe he really thinks stirring up trouble is more important than revenge.”Everyone looked at him in disbelief.Was the South Regent a fool? If he truly thought that way, he would not have held the title of King Beyond the Border for three years.“If you can’t explain the South Regent, what about the heroes’ widows? They’ve all spoken up. Are they lying too?”That was the part Simon found most frustrating. How could he possibly cover it up?Slowly, he sank into a chair, speechless. Even though he had turned many situations around before, he felt utterly doomed this time. The widows and the South Regent’s statements together were a fatal blow.Simon regretted everything now. If only he had not made such a big deal out of it, and the widows and the South Regent had remained in the dark, none of it would have happened.He thought
