The Guardian's Return (Ethan Rivers) novel Chapter 211

Chapter 211 

The South Regent studied Ethan’s face, trying to determine if he was telling the truth. 

After a moment, he realized that Ethan remained perfectly calm. 

The South Regent sat back down, trembling. “I think the Grand Marshal, my enemies in Riveria, and everyone who dislikes me combined are nowhere as terrifying as you.” 

“Thank you for the compliment,” Ethan said. “You just need to send the people to the foot of Sky Peak. I’ll take over from there.” 

With that, Ethan turned and left, quickly disappearing from sight. 

The South Regent, stared blankly as Ethan departed. Even though he had become a king and his greatest enemy was dead, he did not feel happy at all. 

After all, a more formidable opponent had now arrived. 

“Your Highness, do we really have to agree to his demands?” asked the man who had previously pointed a gun at Ethan. 

The South Regent nodded. “I can’t refuse the conditions he’s offered.‘ 

He then glanced at the man and said, “You should go to Riveria too.” 

The man was stunned. The implication was clear–he was being sent to Riveria to die. Once he was in Riveria, under Ethan’s terrifying orders, everyone would die! 

The flashback ended. 

The South Regent could not help but sigh. “I thought of many ways 

to try to defeat you, but none of them succeeded. I never imagined you’d end up being taken down by your own people. 

“I still had so many tactics I hadn’t used. Now that you’re gone, those tactics will remain unused forever.” 

Three years had passed. He was now firmly seated as the King Beyond the Border. 

Despite this, he always had one wish–to defeat Ethan just once. Now that Ethan had vanished, he knew he might never have the chance. 

“It’s time for us to make our move,” the South Regent said. “There’s a wealthy investor interested in Celestial City. Let’s invite him over for a chat.‘ 

By “invite,” the South Regent actually meant kidnapping. 

At the Lowes‘ residence, George was focusing his attention on Celestial City. The city’s

GDP had reached $2.5 trillion, making it one of the country’s renowned financial hubs. 

He had learned that a wealthy investor was coming to Celestial City to discuss a collaboration. This investor was among the top 100 on the world’s wealthiest list and had prepared 100 billion dollars for the joint venture. 

If the collaboration went well, there would be more to come. 

100 billion dollars was no small sum. Although it did not solely come from this single investor but was pooled from several, it would push Celestial City’s economy closer to the 3 -trillion–dollar mark! 

Better yet, even more benefits would come from this cooperation! 

“We must seize this opportunity,” George muttered. “If we can showcase the potential of Celestial City and Riveria to this investor, more of them will come. 

“If we can attract large–scale investments, not only will Celestial City take off, but North Hill City, Seaside City, and Aqua City will also be saved!”
