The Guardian's Return (Ethan Rivers) novel Chapter 506

Stephen’s face turned ashen when he saw Howard and the others’ statements.

At that moment, his mind was completely blank. Even his soul felt numb. Why were these people kicking him while he was down? Did they want to force him to the brink of death? Did he do anything wrong to them? They had clearly taken so many benefits from him!

“What should I do? What should I do now?” Stephen was so panicked that he could not think of a solution.

His assistant was also on the verge of breaking down. He could barely fend off the reporters wanting an interview and had to ask security to keep them away.

Meanwhile, many people online were talking about Stephen. The news about him not being the Grand Marshal’s mentee overshadows all trending topics.

“Is Stephen the Grand Marshal’s mentee or not?”

“If he’s not the Grand Marshal’s mentee, that means he’s an imposter. Isn’t that a crime?”

“If the news is true and Stephen has nothing to do with the Grand Marshal, then he should be executed!”

“Who exactly is the Grand Marshal’s mentee?”

“I feel like Stephen isn’t related to the Grand Marshal. His current capabilities don’t match the kind of person who could make Riveria’s economy soar.”

The people only cared about two things now. First, what exactly was Stephen’s relationship with the Grand Marshal, and two, who was the real mentee of the Grand Marshal?

Some people, who had been secretly investigating, used this opportunity to reveal their findings.

“Stephen only came to Riveria half a year ago. The person managing Riveria before him was someone else entirely. According to the data, it wasn’t George Lowe either.”

With the new information, more people believed that Stephen was indeed impersonating the Grand Marshal’s mentee.
