Stephen could not help but laugh.

Meanwhile, Ethan picked up a pen and paper and wrote a letter.

The content was simple. He did not ask the South Regent to release the hostage. Instead, it said, "I will no longer intervene with the affairs of Riveria."

He said he would not care about Riveria anymore, and he meant it. He had managed Riveria for three years, turning it from a poor province to one of the richest in the country. He had done more than enough.

Whether Riveria prospered or declined in the future had nothing to do with him. It was all in fate's hands now.

Before long, Stephen arrived.

"Where is it?" He walked in and slammed his hands on Ethan's table, saying, "Where's the letter my senior gave you?"

Ethan tossed the letter in front of Stephen.

"Hmph." Stephen held the letter smugly. "You didn't expect it, huh? Even without your help, we managed to contact that senior. Now that I have the letter from him agreeing to help us, what are your thoughts?

"Are you regretting not helping us back then? Let me tell you. It's too late for regret."

After that, he turned around and left, wasting no time at all. He wanted Ethan to wallow in regret, but it was more important to save the hostage right now!

Stephen headed straight to the borders with the letter and dialed the number the South Regent had left earlier.

"Do you have the money?" The South Regent's imposing voice came through the phone. "No," Stephen said, now more confident with the letter in hand.

"Do you want the hostage to die?" the South Regent asked.

"Of course not." Stephen replied, "I'm calling to tell you to release him."

"Without the money? That's not going to happen."

Stephen's lips curled into a smile. "I didn't bring money, but I have a letter."

"Letter? Whose letter?"

"Someone you know."
