The Guardian's Return by Old Pumpkin

Chapter 277

Soon, he saw George in front of the mansion.

"He refuses to help." George said exasperatedly, "He wants a life for a life. To use my life in exchange for the village chief's life."

Stephen frowned. Although he knew Ethan was quite ruthless, he did not expect him to be this brutal, demanding George's death blatantly.

Although the village chief was important, George was more useful to him.

"Don't worry. I've come for his help now. We're like old rivals now. He shouldn't sit back and do nothing."

Stephen walked to the door and noticed that it was tightly shut.

"Why did he close the door?" Stephen was surprised.

George was also curious. "The door was still open when I came out. It's only been half an hour. When did the door close? Could it be that he doesn't want to see me?"

George felt a little hurt. After all, he had taken care of Ethan for three years. Sure, he locked

Stephen said, "I'll call out to him.

He took a deep breath and then yelled, "Ethan, open the door! I need to talk to you!"

"Go back." Ethan's voice sounded from above their heads.

Stephen and George looked up to see Ethan standing on the balcony, watching them calmly. "It's not early anymore. I'm about to rest."

It was close to 7 p.m., and the sky had turned dark. Ethan was already prepared to eat, bathe, and go to bed.
