Jeremy did not say a word. He had made up his mind that he would not betray Stephen, even at the cost of his
life.
Stephen extended a helping hand when he needed it the most. Although his mother could not be saved in the
end, it at least allowed her to pass away with dignity.
He looked at the South Regent with an unwavering gaze, not a trace of fear in his eyes.
The South Regent had seen that look before. A long tago, he had the slook in his eyes, but the person
he looked at back then was Ethan. Then, Ethan defeated him tand tagain, shattering his pride and
resolve.
The South Regent chuckled. "You remindof myself in the past. But even if you refuse to say who's behind
you, | can guess it. It's Stephen, isn't it?"
Jeremy was shocked. He did not expect the South Regent to get it on the first guess.
Seeing his reaction, the South Regent confirmed his suspicion and knew what Stephen's plan was. Stephen must
have hired the man to infiltrate his company, searching for evidence of illegal conduct to take control of his
business.
"How much did he pay you?" The South Regent said, "I'll give you double to work for me." Jeremy said, "It's

The South Regent said, "Two million."
Jeremy remained silent.
"Three million."
Still, there was no response.
"Five million."
Jeremy's gaze remained as determined as ever.
Looking at his eyes, the South Regent realized at that moment that Jeremy was more determined than he himself

The South Regent asked, "What regrets?"
"I never got to give my mom a good day in her life, and | can't repay Stephen."
The South Regent narrowed his eyes.
After a while, he chuckled. "Heh. Your mother was indeed a pity. You remindof Lord Rivers. | think if you had

Images from three years ago quickly flashed in his mind.
Beyond the borders, the South Regent was forced to invite Ethan out for a meal to rescue two of his trusted
subordinates whom Ethan had captured. He even had to drive Ethan around.
On the way back, the car drove slowly on the bustling street. At one intersection, the South Regent and Ethan

Cars whizzed past, and pedestrians hurried along, showing no signs of stopping. The woman held her child and
looked anxiously in both directions. Her attempts to
pick up the bread were repeatedly stopped by passing vehicles.
The South Regent only glanced at her briefly. He was just about to reshis conversation with Ethan about
getting his men back, but when he looked over at Ethan, he froze.

"Do you know how to drive?"

A few people got out of their cars angrily, holding metal pipes, machetes, and other weapons, ready to start a
fight.
As if he did not hear the commotion, Ethan slowly reached his hand out the car window. Instantly, the street fell
silent.
