The Guardian's Return (Ethan Rivers) novel Chapter 508

As long as the Grand Marshal’s only successor stayed quiet, they could say that everyone else was just lying.

Stephen set off right away. He wanted to leave through the front gate but saw a crowd of reporters waiting outside. They would catch him the moment he showed his face. Stephen had no choice but to climb over the wall and quickly return to the capital toward Drakthorn Ridge.

Half a day later, he finally arrived at Ethan’s villa where it was very quiet. Stephen looked at the villa and felt a surprising sense of calm.

The journey here had been so clamorous. Everyone was talking about him, and he constantly felt like someone was watching him. He was afraid of being recognized. Fortunately, he made it here smoothly.

As he walked into the villa and smelled a faint fragrance, he felt his fatigue disappear.

“Ethan.” Stephen quickly approached Ethan.

Ethan looked at him calmly. “You still have time to come to me at a time like this? It seems you’re not that pressured.”

Stephen knew that Ethan was fully aware of everything.

“I need your help.” Stephen took the initiative to ask for help.

“No,” Ethan refused without even listening.

Stephen was stunned. He was asking for help as a concession, but Ethan rejected him outright without even hearing him out!

Stephen was furious, but he needed Ethan’s help now, so he had no choice but to hold back. It was not the first time Ethan made him mad, so his tolerance had increased slightly.
