The Guardian's Return (Ethan Rivers) novel Chapter 308

Chapter 308 

George looked at the South Regent and said seriously, “You’ve been minding your own business for three years, so why can’t you continue to do so? Can’t you stop targeting Riveria?” 

The South Regent looked at George as if he was looking at a fool. Was there a problem with what he was doing? 

“My father died because of Riveria. Countless of my friends died in Riveria. How can I let Riveria go? 

“Moreover, the Grand Marshal’s student, Stephen, is in Riveria now, so this is the best time for me to take revenge. Why should I back off?” 

George wanted to say something but ended up staying silent. He wanted to say that Stephen’s identity was fake. Ethan was the Grand Marshal’s student, not Stephen. However, after thinking about it, he knew that the South Regent should be well aware of this fact. 

The South Regent knew he could not win against Ethan, so it was enough to defeat the widely known “student of the Grand Marshal“, Stephen. 

The South Regent shook his head. “Do you really think Riveria will be at peace if I don’t target Riveria? 

“Old bastard, it seems you still don’t understand the essence of this matter. The chaos in Riveria isn’t because of my presence, but because of…” The South Regent glanced at the kitchen before continuing, “His absence.” 

George’s body jolted upright as if he had been struck by lightning. 

Celestial City’s chaos was not because of the South Regent’s intervention but because of Ethan’s fall! George used to claim that Riveria would do fine even without Ethan, but he would not say that now. He was still taking the blame for Stephen, facing relentless criticism online. 

Celestial City was not the first city to face problems, and Riveria’s GDP had plummeted to less than 10 trillion. George fully understood how hard it was to run Riveria now. However, he knew there was no turning back. The regret he felt in his heart could only turn into a sigh. 

At that moment, Ethan walked out of the kitchen and said, “The food is ready, so go ahead and bring them out.” 

“Yes, I’ll be right there.” The South Regent was the first to get up. He was even more enthusiastic than his subordinates, running into the kitchen to bring out the food. 

Ethan prepared five dishes: an omelet, pan–fried asparagus, grilled salmon, roasted

chicken, and mushroom soup. 

The South Regent smiled as he exclaimed, “It smells great.” 

George called Rachel back to help with setting up the table. 

The fragrance of the dishes made the frustration in George and Rachel’s hearts begin to fade. 

George looked at the South Regent sitting across him and felt a wave of emotions. He and the South Regent were enemies. Yet, in front of Ethan, he was actually calmly having dinner with his enemy. 

The moment they tasted the food, the South Regent, George, and Rachel’s eyes lit up. It was delicious! 

The South Regent exclaimed in surprise, “This is up to par with food made by top chefs! Lord Rivers, you’re actually this good at cooking?!” 

George and Rachel also looked at Ethan in shock. Although they had lived with Ethan for some time, they did not know that he could cook, let alone be so talented!
