As the only mentee, Ethan took over governing Riveria after the Grand Marshal passed.
First, he tackled the issue between Riveria and the land beyond the borders, calming all the conflicts. After that, he entered the Lowes and used George’s identity to continue governing the state.
Since George never really did his job, Ethan took full control, which led to his hair growing white at a young age. However, now that he had stepped down, it only took him half a year of rest at Drakthorn Ridge to regain his health.
Charles looked at Ethan blankly, not knowing how to react. He was rude a moment ago, calling Ethan a criminal and threatening to serve justice. Now, Ethan turned out to be his family’s savior.
He tried to speak but lacked the courage to do so.
Ethan said, “Let’s leave the past behind for now. I’m here today to tell you that I’ve been imprisoned, so everything under my name will be forced to cease operation, including the institute. The health insurance plan and the medicine listed inside will all be canceled.
“You gave me 50 thousand dollars before, and after three years of investment, the return has reached 100 thousand dollars. I’m giving them back to you.” He then smiled and continued, “I don’t think we’ll meet each other again, so take care.”
The news shook Xavier, and his eyes widened in disbelief.
“You’re in prison? Who did it? Who? I’ll lodge a complaint against them. I’ll report them!”
He could not understand why someone would send Ethan to prison. It was injustice!
Charles subtly picked up the bank card from the floor. He was as embarrassed as he was arrogant when he tapped it away.
The money belonged to his family, and after three years, Ethan managed to double the return. Yet, not only did he fail to show gratitude, but he even tapped the card away and spoke rudely to Ethan.
After learning the truth from his father, he felt absolutely embarrassed. He was not the one who locked Ethan up, but he was helping the one who did it.
As if struck with realization all of a sudden, Xavier looked at his son.
“Charles, is that person your superior? You said he’s just and fair, right? Tell him, our savior was wronged! Tell him to investigate this matter and release our savior!”
