NovelEnglishChapter 227 The South Regent was frozen with fear, and his legs turned to jelly. The mistakes Ethan pointed out were things he did not even consider.
His face was drenched in cold sweat. At that moment, he was utterly convinced of his defeat! The memory of it still sent chills down the South Regent's back.
He quickly grabbed Richard and rushed to the foot of Sky Peak. Half a day later, the South Regent finally met with Stephen.

The South Regent's voice was low. "Letsee the letter first. I will only release the hostage after confirming it's from him." "Fine!" Fearless, Stephen handed the letter to the South Regent. After all, it was a letter that Samuel had begged the Grand Marshal's mentee to write. Why would the mentee betray him? The South Regent took the letter and read the one sentence on the envelope: To the South Regent.
He knew that handwriting all too well. It was unmistakably Ethan's! The South Regent's ears rang. Could it be that Ethan could not resist getting involved? The South Regent gulped nervously, his trembling hands slowly opening the envelope. However, when he saw the content inside, he was stunned.
Stephen burst out laughing when he saw the South Regent's reaction.
"Are you scared? Release the hostage now!" At the stime, Stephen was a little curious about what the Grand Marshal's mentee wrote to make the South Regent so terrified. It was one thing for him to chere, but his reaction to the letter was as if he had seen a ghost.
The South Regent raised his head and looked at Stephen, narrowing his eyes, "Do you know what is written in the letter? And how dare you speak tolike that?" Stephen's heart skipped a beat. Something was not right. Should the South Regent not be scrambling to release the hostage immediately? "What does it say?" Chapter 227 The South Regent threw the letter to him. When Stephen picked it up and read it, he was stunned.
It contained just one line: I will no longer interfere with the affairs of Riveria.
The letter slipped from Stephen's hands to the ground.

He had even gone to look for Samuel. Even if the Grand Marshal's mentee did not care about Samuel, he had to honor the Grand Marshal! How could he write something like that, completely disregarding Riveria? Was he not just enabling the South Regent? "It's fake. The Grand Marshal's mentee would never write such a letter! It must be Ethan. He must've swapped the letter because he holds a grudge against us, so he's trying to destroy Riveria!" Stephen yelled at the South Regent, "This letter is fake!" The South Regent replied, "Unfortunately, it's real. I recognize his handwriting." Stephen could not believe it. The handwriting was legitimate? Did the Grand Marshal's mentee really write it? "No! Ethan must've forged his handwriting. We've both been deceived!" The South Regent looked at Stephen like he was looking at an idiot. How long was Stephen going to lie to himself?
"Forget it. I'm done wasting my twith you. 200 billion. If you don't have 200 billion the next twe meet, prepare to collect a body."
The South Regent then turned around and left, more brazen than ever. Now that he had gottenEthan's letter and confirmed that Ethan would never interfere with Riveria's matters anymore, he did not have to worry about anything anymore!
Stephen stared blankly as the South. Regent left, standing in shock for a m long moment before snapping back to reality. He quickly picked up the letter on the ground and rushed back to Drakthorn Ridge. In the mansion, he stormed up to Ethan and threw the letter on the table.
"Ethan! Where did you hide the real letter? Give it tonow! Otherwise, you will be committing treason, and that'll be a death sentence!" Although Stephen looked furious and intimidating, Ethan remained perfectly calm, not nervous at all.
