The Guardian's Return (Ethan Rivers) novel Chapter 283

Chapter 283 

He wanted to kill the person responsible for putting him in this situation! 

However, when he raised his gun, appearing to aim at Ethan, it also seemed like he was targeting the South Regent! 

The South Regent’s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately fired. 

Bang! 

With a gunshot, the bullet struck Elijah right in the middle of his forehead. 

Elijah’s eyes widened as he fell backward, his fingers still repeatedly pulling the trigger. 

Click. 

Click. 

Click. 

There was no gunshot! Elijah held an empty gun! 

The South Regent immediately widened his eyes in shock, watching the scene in disbelief. 

He had been tricked! Ethan used him to kill Elijah! 

The South Regent stared at Ethan. “You knew there were no bullets in his gun, so you used my hand to kill him!” 

Ethan smiled. “A man like that wasn’t worth dirtying my hands.” 

He took out the empty magazine and casually threw it to the South Regent. “Thanks.” 

Thanks? 

The South Regent was not pleased in the least bit. He knew he had been fooled! From start to finish, he had been part of Ethan’s plan. 

He wanted to capture Elijah alive as leverage to threaten his rival forces, but now, Ethan made him kill Elijah. His rival forces would never rest until they had their revenge. 

What about Ethan? He had done nothing, and Elijah’s death had nothing to do with him. 

So, he could remain uninvolved, and Riveria would still be in peace while the foreign forces would be plunged into turmoil! 

“You ought to die!” The South Regent was anxious, and he wanted to order his men to capture Ethan. 

All of a sudden, there was a deafening bang!

Chapter 283 

The factory wall suddenly exploded. It was his rival force, along with Elijah’s remaining men, storming in. 

The South Regent immediately realized that this was part of Ethan’s plan. “You knew I wanted to capture you!” 

Ethan said, “I came here alone, so I had to find some local bodyguards.” 

The South Regent staggered a few steps back. He realized that Ethan had found two bodyguards. 

The first was him, the South Regent, to get rid of Elijah. 

The second was Elijah’s men and his rival forces, to fight against the South Regent and allow Ethan to escape unscathed! 

Cold sweat dripped down the South Regent’s forehead. He was terrified by Ethan. Ethan had walked into enemy territory alone, without a single man, and managed to drag him and his rival into a deadly conflict, ensuring they would fight each other to death. 

Now, neither of them would have the energy to target Riveria before a winner emerged from their fight! 

Ethan had weakened the foreign forces and bought himself time to stabilize Riveria. 

He thought that Ethan was much scarier than the Grand Marshal. 

Thick smoke began to fill the room, brought by the explosions and smoke grenades. 

The South Regent could only watch as Ethan and Dr. Rodman disappeared before him. 

After reminiscing, Dr. Rodman could not help but wonder how these people dared to provoke Ethan. 

Ethan had crossed borders alone, and armies retreated at the sight of him. These people were no match for him. 

Dr. Rodman lowered his head at Ethan and said “I understand.” 

Then, he looked at Stephen. “Lead the way. 

Stephen felt frustrated. He knew they were going to slander him, and he had evidence to refute them, but he could not do anything.
