Ethan noticed a lot of hostility directed his way. He knew the interview must have made the headlines, and it seemed like he had officially become the public enemy. 

Seeing Liam coming into his cell with lunch, he chuckled and asked, “Why are you doing this?” 

Liam knew exactly what Ethan was implying. Why help him when things had gotten that bad? 

“Sigh. The others are still young, and they don’t know what really happened, but I do.” Liam sighed. 

He knew what Ethan had done for Riveria. If not for Ethan, Riveria would not have seen so many changes and benefits. 

How could all of those be false? Maybe he had been deceived, but what about the enemy? South Regent showed so much respect to Ethan. His arrival even brought peace to Sky Peak for a day. 

Not to mention, Ethan had also helped many veterans‘ family members to settle down. Some of them were Liam’s personal friends and subordinates, so he viewed Ethan as a benefactor, a kind man.

It made him rethink his actions. It seemed no one was allowed to speak up for Ethan anymore. 

He slumped back into his chair, overwhelmed with helplessness. When Riveria used to be in chaos, it was Ethan who stepped up to help. Now, things were different. 

“Ring!” His phone rang. 

When Zane saw the caller ID, his heart skipped a beat. It was from his informant that he sent to North Hill City. A call from the informant could only mean one thing: something had gone terribly wrong. 

He quickly answered the call. 

“Something serious has happened in North Hill City! More than fifty percent of the 

companies are forced to close, and the rest are moving out. More than a hundred thousand people are jobless. 

“People from other cities have also invaded the city. Gunfights are frequent, and it’s gotten so bad that no one dares to step outside, even during the day.
