Stephen quickly had the trending topics suppressed to prevent the situation from escalating further. At the same time, he started a meeting to discuss solutions.Nolan had worked for two decades, so he was quite experienced.“The incident with the old man wasn’t our fault. We can clarify that he accidentally started the forest fire and took his own life out of guilt, not because we drove him to do it. As for the shooting and hijacking of the prisoner transport, those were provocations by foreign forces. We need to issue a public statement warning them.”Stephen felt that those were good ideas. Although it would not completely calm the online backlash, at least, it was a reasonable explanation and would reduce their criticism.Without a moment’s hesitation, Stephen immediately followed Nolan’s suggestions.He first clarified the cause of the forest fire, stating that several corrupt officials had already been arrested and that others were being pursued. A complete explanation was t

The villagers’ anxiety instantly disappeared as they crowded around Arnold, carefully observing him.Arnold’s determined gaze, righteous demeanor, and his distinct uniform left no doubt that he was one of Ethan’s people. After all, three years ago, Ethan had also led a team wearing similar uniforms to this village.Arnold had stumbled into the village by accident and wanted to leave quickly to avoid dragging the villagers into trouble. However, he was surrounded and could not escape. He looked at the villagers cautiously and said, “Everyone, please step aside. I’m a fugitive. If I don’t leave, you might be in danger too.”The villagers did not understand him until they summoned someone who had lived in Riveria for a while.The person understood Arnold’s language and translated to everyone, “He’s being pursued.”The villagers were shocked. Who would dare to pursue Ethan’s man?“Have you heard of Ethan Rivers?” someone asked.Arnold nodded at the translated question. Although he w

The translator shook his head. “We’ve never met him before. We just know that he can lead us to peace, just like how he led Riveria to peace.”Arnold frowned. Ethan could lead everyone to peace? He felt like he had just heard the funniest joke in the world.Ethan was a criminal known for serious corruption. It would already be considered benevolent if he did not embezzle all the villagers’ money and push them to the brink of despair. Furthermore, the one who had brought peace to Riveria was Stephen! He was the Grand Marshal’s mentee!“It seems you don’t understand Ethan at all,” Arnold said. “He’s not who you think he is.” He wanted to say more, but a few children peeked curiously at the door, interrupting him.The translator quickly shooed them away, but Arnold smiled and said, “Let them come in.”The children entered, staring up at Arnold with wide eyes. One of the girls asked shyly, “Is Mr. Rivers handsome? Is he married?”The translator relayed the questions to Arnold, making

Arnold shook his head hard. He must be imagining things due to his fatigue.“What’s wrong?” the second team captain noticed something off and asked in concern.“I’m fine.” Arnold turned to the village chief and said, “We’ll do our best to pass on your message.”“Thank you. Thank you!” The village chief was overwhelmed with emotion and led the villagers to thank him too.Seeing them bow, Arnold and the second team leader remained silent.What kind of power did Ethan have? Why did these villagers trust him so completely to the point of being willing to sacrifice themselves for him?Just then, a member of the second team reported to the captain, “Captain, all the criminals have been captured.” They had apprehended all the members of Jared’s team except for Jared himself.Nolan had informed Jared to retreat quickly when he sent out the second team. The hostages were found, and most of them were uninjured. This time, their mission was a success.However, they paid a hefty price for

Stephen did not understand where Ethan got so much money from. After all, he had no powerful family backing him. The only person he could rely on was himself!“Thank you.” Arnold sighed in relief, then expressed his wish for Stephen to punish him.Stephen shook his head. “You’re not at fault. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Besides, it’s not my place to decide that.”Arnold was silent for a while, then finally asked his last question. “Where’s Ethan?”Stephen’s eyes instantly narrowed. “Why are you looking for him?”“I want to pass on a message from the villagers outside the border.”“What message?” Stephen was wary.Arnold recited, “The message is: can you come save us?”Stephen’s eyes widened at the words. The villagers wanted Ethan to save them? They knew that Ethan brought peace to Riveria, so they wished that he would bestow peace upon them too!The questions in Stephen’s heart were instantly answered.Why did the villagers help them because of Ethan? It was because they
