The Guardian's Return by Old Pumpkin

Chapter 245

"Well... We definitely didn't think this through properly."

Simon thought about it, realizing it might be part of Ethan's scheme. Ethan could be using the Quinns to cut ties with Riveria once and for all!

If there was a crisis in Riveria, they could use the Grand Marshal's influence to make Ethan step in. However, now that everyone knew he was not the Grand Marshal's mentee, he would have nothing to do with Riveria anymore!

Simon's face darkened. When did Ethan start planning all of that?

"I'll have someone prepare a speech for you. Go and get ready."

He then hung up the call, feeling a headache coming. He thought they had won, but now he realized they had lost again. All the pressure was falling on Stephen's shoulders.

In Celestial City, Stephen immediately ordered a stage to be built for the speech after hanging up the call.

He chose to speak in the streets to seem more approachable to the public. That way, the online criticism of him would lighten up. It would also prove that Celestial City was safe.
