The Guardian's Return (Ethan Rivers) novel Chapter 495

The translator shook his head. “We’ve never met him before. We just know that he can lead us to peace, just like how he led Riveria to peace.”

Arnold frowned. Ethan could lead everyone to peace? He felt like he had just heard the funniest joke in the world.

Ethan was a criminal known for serious corruption. It would already be considered benevolent if he did not embezzle all the villagers’ money and push them to the brink of despair. Furthermore, the one who had brought peace to Riveria was Stephen! He was the Grand Marshal’s mentee!

“It seems you don’t understand Ethan at all,” Arnold said. “He’s not who you think he is.” He wanted to say more, but a few children peeked curiously at the door, interrupting him.

The translator quickly shooed them away, but Arnold smiled and said, “Let them come in.”

The children entered, staring up at Arnold with wide eyes. One of the girls asked shyly, “Is Mr. Rivers handsome? Is he married?”

The translator relayed the questions to Arnold, making the three adults in the room chuckle. The children had come in just to ask about Ethan. They looked up to him as their idol and role model.

Arnold laughed at first, but he gradually started feeling uneasy.

All this might be part of Ethan’s scheme. He deceived the people abroad into thinking he was a good person. That way, it would be easier for him to escape to another country. However, he did not expect to be captured before he had the chance to flee.

Seeing that it was getting late, the translator did not want to disturb Arnold any longer.

On behalf of the villagers, he conveyed their wish to Arnold, “If you have the chance, please pass on this message to Ethan: we are all waiting for him. If he can, we plead for him to come and save us.”

With that, the translator, doctor, and the children all bowed toward Arnold.
