The Guardian's Return by Old Pumpkin

Chapter 240

Once, Ethan had been the Grand Marshal's mentee.

The Grand Marshal had sacrificed everything for Riveria, and as his mentee, Ethan inherited the Grand Marshal's responsibilities after he passed. In other words, it was Ethan's duty to carry on the Grand Marshal's legacy.

Now that Stephen had taken Ethan's identity, he had also taken on the responsibility of carrying on Grand Marshal's legacy! Now, he had to face all the enemies, both inside and outside of Riveria!

What about Ethan? Since he was no longer the Grand Marshal's mentee, Riveria's affairs no longer had anything to do with him.

How could that happen?

Stephen could not smile anymore. That was not what he had anticipated. He thought that by stealing Ethan's identity, Ethan would be left with nothing. However, contrary to his expectations, Ethan was freed from all burdens!

"It seems you finally understand," Ethan said with a calm smile. "So, let me ask you again. Are you truly ready for this?"

Stephen gulped. He was already considering giving everything back to Ethan. That identity was not an honor. It was a crushing responsibility!

Stephen began to panic.
