Chapter 175
Stephen looked at the wilderness, lost in thought.
He could not believe that this used to be a town!
“Was Riveria that chaotic back then?”
Looking at the abandoned houses, Stephen realized for the first time how chaotic Riveria had been before.
“Yes, it was.” Liam
missing in the chained, “Even the Grand Marshal couldn’t bring peace and went
“What?” Stephen was shocked. Even the Grand Marshal could not resolve the turmoil in Riveria? “How could that be?”
Liam sighed. “It’s true. Back then, Riveria was plagued by both internal and external issues. It was dire.”
Stephen asked, “Who ended the war?”
Liam looked at him and slowly said two words, Ethan Rivers.”
Stephen instantly widened his eyes.
It was him!
The person he trapped in Drakthorn Ridge!
He had accomplished even what the Grand Marshal could not!
Could what those people said be true? Could Riveria really not survive without Ethan?
That was impossible!
Stephen quickly shook off those ridiculous thoughts.
As long as he was around, Riveria would be fine!
However, the most important issue now was to find Snow’s grave.
“Stop talking about Ethan. Help me find where Snow is first.” He began searching around the area. Liam had no choice but to help.
However, they searched until it was dark, but still could not find any graves.
“Why can’t I find her grave?”
Stephen almost went insane. Despite finally obtaining the location, he still could not find her grave.

Was it truly fate?
Would he not even see her grave?
Liam saw that it was getting dark and said worriedly, “Why don’t we go back first? The wilderness is dangerous.”
“No!” Liam said, “I won’t go back until I find her!”
Liam had no choice but to pull out his phone and call for help.
After half an hour, over thirty people from the station arrived, each holding a flashlight to help the search.
However, even with so many people, they still could not find a single grave by 8 PM.
Stephen stood on a patch of grass, on the verge of breaking down. “Why can’t I find it?”
Liam stood nearby. They were all drenched in sweat. Seeing that it was getting later, he really wanted to persuade Stephen to go back.
However, it seemed like Stephen would not leave without finding the grave.
What was strange was that they still could not find a grave even when they used a drone to
search.
There was not even a mound!
Thud!
Stephen collapsed onto the grass.
“God, please let me see her one more time.“.
The stars twinkled beautifully in the sky.
Stephen looked at the stars and thought of Snow’s eyes, then remembered their time together. He had said that he would give her happiness. He had said he would give her whatever she wanted.
However, in the end, he could not give her freedom. He had even caused her death!
