Chapter 430

Even if Stephen tried his best to persuade him today, Ethan would never help him. Besides, Stephen did not

have a silver tongue.

Stephen raised his head and looked at Ethan. "You sure are heartless."

"There was never any bond between us, so don't talk about being heartless. Don't think too highly of yourself."

Stephen was fuming. He had given Ethan an opportunity to back down, but Ethan refused to help, showing him

no respect at all.

Nolan watched the exchange from the side. The hatred he once held for Ethan had now turned into gratitude. If

Stephen was not there and Ethan was not on the second floor, he might have rushed up to hug Ethan then and

there.

An enemy? No, Ethan was their savior!

Three years ago, the Spencers had fallen because of Ethan. Yet now, thanks to him, they had the chance to rise

again and surpass their former glory!

At the stime, Nolan felt a little sorry for Stephen. Although he did not know what Stephen had done to

offend Ethan, choosing to provoke Ethan meant a death sentence, even for the son of the Quinns.

"Are you really not going to help?" Stephen asked, still holding onto a shred of hope.

Ethan's reply was simple. "Yes."

Stephen clenched his fists but eventually relaxed them helplessly.

Then, he turned around and said to Nolan, "Let's go."

Nolan said nothing, keeping his head down as he silently followed Stephen out.

On the way down the mountain, Stephen asked, "Is there any way you can get Ethan to help?"

Nolan fell silent. How could he, of all people, get Ethan to help them? If he could do that, Ethan would not have

driven his family, to the brink of destruction in the first place, forcing them to comply with all his demands.

He lit a cigarette and recalled about the past.

Three years ago, when Ethan first cto Breeze City, they had teamed up with several o families to target

Ethan, trying to get rid of him,

However, not long after, one of the families involved crumbled and desperately pleaded for Ethan's mercy,

hoping Ethan could spare them. Not only did they have to contend with Ethan's influence but also with the

internal strife between the families that Ethan had cleverly stirred up.

Chapter 430

They were willing to hand all their family assets over and leave Riveria with only a sum of money, vowing never

to return.

Ethan's response was still vivid in Nolan's memory.

"I have information on each of you, and | know your ambitions and everything you have done. Amongst your

sixty-three family members, only two people have the right to leave. | will arrange a fitting fate for the rest of

you."

In the end, that family gave up all their wealth just to send the two children away. The rest were either jailed or

had committed suicide.

If an entire family could not sway Ethan even after trying everything, what chance did Nolan have on his own?

As Nolan snapped back to reality, he sighed. "I can't do it."

Stephen could not believe it. "Not even you?"

He always thought highly of Nolan. After serving as deputy mayor for twenty years, his quick reflexes and

problem-solving skills were top-notch. Surely, handling Ethan should not pose a big problem.

"I can't." Nolan said helplessly, "I have no idea when it comes to anything related to Ethan."

He could tell Stephen still could not fully grasp the situation. The young man had not faced Ethan's "wrath"

firsthand, so he had no idea how terrifying Ethan truly

was.

Ssituations could be resolved with a little rage or by throwing money at the problem, but with Ethan, even

staking one's life might not change anything.

Stephen took a deep breath and asked, "You seem very afraid of him."

"It's normal, but more than fear, we revere him."

Throughout Riveria, and even among foreign powers, who was not afraid of Ethan? Even the South Regent was

so frightened that he did not dare step foot in Riveria for three years.

The title of Lord Rivers was not just a nicknrecognized by forces in Rivera and even those beyond the

borders. Riviera was named Riveria because Ethan's surnwas Rivers!
