The Guardian's Return (Ethan Rivers) novel Chapter 236

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 defending Ethan be explained? 

No matter how hard thought, Simon could not find a solution. He was sure he had the upper hand, but now it seemed he had walkers straight into a dead end. Ethan was probably out there somewhere, laughing at him. 

“Where there’s a will, there’s a way. There must be a solution!” 

Simon pondered while slowly heading toward the government headquarters. 

Meanwhile, the South Regent’s statement stirred another uproar online, and many headlines soon emerged. 

[Reversal? Ethan Rivers is not an imposter but the real late Grand Marshall’s mentee!] 

[Over 300 people took to the streets to clear Ethan Rivers‘ name!] 

[The South Regent reveals his dark past to stand up for Ethan Rivers. Heroes respect heroes?] 

[Why did Stephen Quinn slander Ethan Rivers?] 

The people who saw those articles felt like they had been slapped in the face. The embarrassment stung so badly. They could not believe that Ethan really was the late Grand Marshall’s mentee! They had been hating a true hero, and some even wanted him killed! 

Many swallowed their pride, and the first thing they did was rush to delete their comments. If they stayed up, every time they read it would be like a slap in their face.

Guilt weighed heavily on their hearts. Ethan had done so much for Riveria, yet they dragged him through the mud. Was that how a hero should be treated? 

They felt so guilty that some of them even dreamt about it and woke up in the middle of the night, slapping themselves twice when they did. 

What had they done? 

“Stephen Quinn!” 

They pointed all the blame toward Stephen. It was all his fault that they had misunderstood 

Ethan. 

“How long are you going to stay silent?” 

“Why did you smear Ethan’s name?“. 

“Ethan is a hero. How could you treat a hero like that?” 

“Come out and face us! Are you trying to steal credits for Ethan’s achievements?” 

Stephen had been panicking, but after reading those messages, he felt even more concerned.
