The Guardian's Return (Ethan Rivers) novel Chapter 6

If Ethan was removed and the South Regent made a move again, would the cities at the borders survive?

George and Stephen’s expressions were grim with anger when their plan was exposed.

“Nonsense. Ethan is just an orphan with no skills. He even dropped out of high school. What contributions has he made?

“On the other hand, Stephen is the son of the Quinns in the capital. Not only did he graduate from the top academy, but he also studied abroad for three years and gained exceptional skills. Ethan is nothing compared to Stephen!”

Zane scoffed in disdain. “If he’s so amazing, the GDP of the capital should’ve long surpassed that of Riveria and become the top in the nation, right?”

George was instantly silenced, and Stephen’s expression darkened further.

“I only have one thing to say. Riveria when it’s managed by Ethan and when not are two completely different places. Ethan will have an easier life if he leaves Riveria, but without him, Riveria will crumble!”

George slammed the table and yelled, “Are you threatening me?”

“Threatening you?” Zane was not afraid of him. “I’m just telling the truth.”

“Get out!”

George was furious. He refused to believe that trash like Ethan was that great. All he did was raise the GDP to 15 trillion dollars. Anyone who could put in a little effort could achieve that.

Zane was just as angry, and his chest heaved with frustration. Since he had said what he had to say, he simply left, and the manager did so silently as well.

“I refuse to believe it.” George gnashed his teeth. “Riveria will fall without Ethan? As if!”

To the side, Rachel added, “Exactly. Ethan is just trash, yet they say Riveria needs him? What a joke.”
