The Guardian's Return (Ethan Rivers) novel Chapter 227

Chapter 227 

The South Regent was frozen with fear, and his legs turned to jelly. The mistakes Ethan pointed out were things he did not even consider. 

His face was drenched in cold sweat. At that moment, he was utterly convinced of his 

defeat! 

The memory of it still sent chills down the South Regent’s back. 

He quickly grabbed Richard and rushed to the foot of Sky Peak. Half a day later, the South Regent finally met with Stephen. 

“Release the hostage!” Stephen said.. 

The South Regent’s voice was low. “Let me see the letter first. I will only release the hostage after confirming it’s from him.” 

“Fine!” 

Fearless, Stephen handed the letter to the South Regent. After all, it was a letter that Samuel had begged the Grand Marshal’s mentee to write. Why would the mentee betray him? 

The South Regent took the letter and read the one sentence on the envelope: To the South 

Regent. 

He knew that handwriting all too well. It was unmistakably Ethan’s! 

The South Regent’s ears rang. Could it be that Ethan could not resist getting involved? 

The South Regent gulped nervously, his trembling hands slowly opening the envelope. However, when he saw the content inside, he was stunned. 

Stephen burst out laughing when he saw the South Regent’s reaction. 

“Are you 

scared? Release the hostage now!” 

At the same time, Stephen was a little curious about what the Grand Marshal’s mentee wrote to make the South Regent so terrified. It was one thing for him to come here, but his reaction to the letter was as if he had seen a ghost. 

The South Regent raised his head and looked at Stephen, narrowing his eyes, “Do you know what is written in the letter? And how dare you speak to me like that?” 

Stephen’s heart skipped a beat. Something was not right. Should the South Regent not be scrambling to release the hostage immediately? 

“What does it say?”

The South Regent threw the letter to him. When Stephen picked it up and read it, he was stunned. 

It contained just one line: I will no longer interfere with the affairs of Riveria. 

The letter slipped from Stephen’s hands to the ground. 

“No.” 

Stephen staggered back, almost losing his balance. “How could this be? Shouldn’t it be telling the South Regent to release the hostage?” 

He had even gone to look for Samuel. Even if the Grand Marshal’s mentee did not care about Samuel, he had to honor the Grand Marshal! 

How could he write something like that, completely disregarding Riveria? Was he not just enabling the South Regent? 

“It’s fake. The Grand Marshal’s mentee would never write such a letter! It must be Ethan. He must’ve swapped the letter because he holds a grudge against us, so he’s trying to destroy Riveria!” Stephen yelled at the South Regent, “This letter is fake!” 

The South Regent replied, “Unfortunately, it’s real. I recognize his handwriting.” 

Stephen could not believe it. The handwriting was legitimate? Did the Grand Marshal’s mentee really write it? 

“No! Ethan must’ve forged his handwriting. We’ve both been deceived!”
