Stephen set off right away. He wanted to leave through the front gate but saw a crowd of reporters waiting outside. They would catch him the moment he showed his face. Stephen had no choice but to climb over the wall and quickly return to the capital toward Drakthorn Ridge.
Half a day later, he finally arrived at Ethan's villa where it was very quiet. Stephen looked at the villa and felt a surprising sense of calm.
