Chapter 501

“I’ll be going now.” Arnold stood up, said goodbye to Ethan, and left.When he left the villa and felt the mountain breeze, he finally felt a bit better. He took out the number that Ethan gave, hesitated a moment, then dialed it.At 3 p.m., Arnold met Andy at the foot of the mountain. Marcus and Jeremy were also with him.Arnold was shocked to see Jeremy. “Aren’t you supposed to be dead?”Jeremy said, “Ethan saved me.”Arnold’s eyes widened. “He saved you?” At that moment, he thought back to the truth that Ethan said. If Ethan truly were a vile criminal, why would he save Jeremy? How would he have the means to save Jeremy?Arnold forced himself to calm down. “Did Ethan recommend you to join Andy as well?”Jeremy shook his head. “He never interfered with my choices. I decided everything myself.”Arnold wavered. Could it be that Ethan was not guilty after all?Just then, Andy asked, “What’s your story?”Arnold recounted the events of the previous day and about Ethan recommendin

Chapter 502

However, Arnold was a military expert. The people here were no match for him.The assistant had no choice but to wake Stephen up.In the room, Arnold finally met Stephen and asked about the doubts that he had.“I didn’t distort the truth. This is the truth.” Stephen could not admit to the first team’s crushing defeat. It was too humiliating, and he would have to face the consequences.“As for their families, you can rest assured. I’ll give them 200 grand in compensation and acknowledge them as the families of heroes. Of course, I was giving the command when your team started the operation. The enemy was just too cunning. In addition, I’m already investigating the mole. It has nothing to do with you.”Those questions deeply displeased Arnold. Stephen was shirking responsibility! His comrades sacrificed their lives, but they did not receive their due respect. He was so angry that he wanted to beat Stephen up.Stephen yawned. “If there’s nothing else, you can leave. I want to rest.”

Chapter 503

Jared soon uploaded a video to the internet showing the entire ambush of the first team. It also showed him retreating and watching from afar as the South Regent’s subordinates, the villagers, and the second team joined in the battle.Finally, he stepped forward and debunked Stephen’s lies.As soon as the video was uploaded, Nolan secretly fueled the flames, instantly causing it to go viral. The netizens were stunned.“What does this video mean?”“Did Stephen trick us?”“Where’s Stephen? Should he give us an explanation?”“He said there was only one team and that there were some sacrifices from the enemy’s fierce resistance. Didn’t he say that our team was invincible?”However, the video they watched showed a completely different story than what Stephen painted.“Is Stephen playing us for fools?”“Is this how the Grand Marshal’s mentee acts?”“We demand an explanation for this!”Everyone was furious. They trusted Stephen, believing in their victory and even bragging about it

Chapter 504

Seeing the public’s hostility toward him lessen, Stephen let out a sigh of relief. It seemed the crisis was averted.However, at that moment, Arnold was also watching Stephen’s video. After watching it, he sat silently on a rock for a long time.Jeremy walked over to him and noticed that he had smoked several cigarettes. The ground was littered with cigarette butts.“I finally understand why you left him.” Arnold sighed and looked up at the sky. “I also understand that Mr. Rivers was right all along.”He already felt disappointed in Stephen when he was imprisoned. Now, after seeing the video, what he felt was not disappointment but anger!There was no expression on Arnold’s face, but a fire was burning in his heart. He could not understand how Stephen had the audacity to say such things. He sent their team to die while he slept, but now, he was telling everyone to distinguish between the good and the bad.Arnold took a deep breath and asked, “Is there a camera here?”Jeremy nodd

Chapter 505

Stephen distorted the truth time and time again and even deleted the video immediately!Dr. Steel and Austin sat in the clinic, staring at their phones in shock. They were both dumbfounded. They could not believe that Stephen had done such horrible things.While the team was risking their lives, he went off to sleep, shirked responsibility for their deaths, and offered only a hundred thousand in compensation for each household. Finally, he tried to silence Arnold by imprisoning him. The most shocking thing was that he was not the Grand Marshal’s mentee! He was an imposter.One reason Dr. Steel previously supported Stephen was because he believed Stephen was the Grand Marshal’s mentee. The Grand Marshal had never married, and his only successor was his mentee.Dr. Steel did not want the Grand Marshal, who had spent his life fighting and died on the battlefield, to have no successor left. However, now, someone was claiming that Stephen was not the Grand Marshal’s mentee.Dr. Steel’s

Chapter 506

Stephen’s face turned ashen when he saw Howard and the others’ statements.At that moment, his mind was completely blank. Even his soul felt numb. Why were these people kicking him while he was down? Did they want to force him to the brink of death? Did he do anything wrong to them? They had clearly taken so many benefits from him!“What should I do? What should I do now?” Stephen was so panicked that he could not think of a solution.His assistant was also on the verge of breaking down. He could barely fend off the reporters wanting an interview and had to ask security to keep them away.Meanwhile, many people online were talking about Stephen. The news about him not being the Grand Marshal’s mentee overshadows all trending topics.“Is Stephen the Grand Marshal’s mentee or not?”“If he’s not the Grand Marshal’s mentee, that means he’s an imposter. Isn’t that a crime?”“If the news is true and Stephen has nothing to do with the Grand Marshal, then he should be executed!”“Who e

Chapter 507

For example, they would target the other party’s friends and families or cause trouble in their daily lives to force them to compromise.However, Simon could not figure out how to deal with Howard’s group. They were abroad and had both money and power. Sending assassins would not work, and it was not possible to dispatch a team either.Simon took a deep breath. “Tell me what you want. Let’s negotiate properly.”Howard remained calm. “There’s nothing to negotiate.” The only thing they wanted was Ethan’s freedom, but they all knew that Simon would never agree to it.Simon said in a low voice, “A hundred million. I’ll give you a hundred million each.” It was a massive sum. Even Simon felt pained at the thought of forking out several hundred million at once.Howard shook his head. “Even now, do you still think money can solve everything? Seeing you now reminds me of my past self.”Before meeting Ethan, when he was involved in the underworld, he also thought that money and power were

Chapter 508

As long as the Grand Marshal’s only successor stayed quiet, they could say that everyone else was just lying.Stephen set off right away. He wanted to leave through the front gate but saw a crowd of reporters waiting outside. They would catch him the moment he showed his face. Stephen had no choice but to climb over the wall and quickly return to the capital toward Drakthorn Ridge.Half a day later, he finally arrived at Ethan’s villa where it was very quiet. Stephen looked at the villa and felt a surprising sense of calm.The journey here had been so clamorous. Everyone was talking about him, and he constantly felt like someone was watching him. He was afraid of being recognized. Fortunately, he made it here smoothly.As he walked into the villa and smelled a faint fragrance, he felt his fatigue disappear.“Ethan.” Stephen quickly approached Ethan.Ethan looked at him calmly. “You still have time to come to me at a time like this? It seems you’re not that pressured.”Stephen kn

Chapter 509

Ethan did not want money, power, or even Rachel. Stephen felt that there was no way to persuade him.Now, the best solution was to find Ethan’s weak spot and use it to threaten him. That way, Ethan would have no choice but to help. He thought about it. Family?Before coming to Riveria and seizing Ethan’s achievements, the Quinns had already investigated his background. Ethan was an orphan, and his parents were unknown. Three years ago, he joined the Lowes and secretly helped them manage Riveria. At the same time, he helped George become the mayor.Looking back at it now, the only person with a close relationship with Ethan was the Grand Marshal, but he had passed away three years ago. Since then, Ethan returned to a solitary life.Friends?Stephen could not think of any. In his memory, Ethan was always alone. It seemed he did not have any friends.Health? Ethan did not have to worry about his meals. He had a disciplined life, exercised regularly, and had a healthy body. Stephen c

Chapter 510

“Unfortunately, your arrogance and pride haven’t changed. Did you think you understood me so well that a few words would convince me to help you? If it were that easy, there would not be any poor people left in the world.”Stephen was stunned. Ethan’s response caught him off guard. He thought that Ethan would agree to help him.“I do have a way to help you.” Ethan smiled faintly.Stephen’s eyes lit up. “What is it?”“Go down the mountain now, head home to charge your phone, and take bus No. 11 to the plaza. Then, start a livestream to confess the whole truth, then kill yourself on camera. After that, I’ll come down from the mountain and take over Riveria again. I’ll enter the cabinet and destroy the Quinns for you.” Ethan smiled. “If you were to take the Quinns on for yourself, it would take twenty or thirty years, but if I handle it, it won’t take long. I’ll get rid of them in just fourteen days.”Swoosh!Stephen stood up, glaring at Ethan furiously. “Are you mocking me?”Ethan
