Chapter 216 

Kenny narrowed his eyes. “His Highness? And who might that be?” 

“South Regent.” 

Shaken, Kenny’s eyes widened in disbelief. 

The South Regent’s man had become the mayor of Celestial City?! 

They had infiltrated so deeply?! 

Kenny gasped heavily. “I thought the South Regent promised Mr. Rivers never to cross the border. Is he going back on his promise?!” 

“He did not,” said James with a shake of his head. “His Highness is keen to keep his promise. As long as Ethan Rivers is alive, he will not cross the border. However, Ethan Rivers is no longer here.” 

Kenny went silent. 

Ethan had gone missing for a long time, and the search party that Kenny sent out came back empty–handed. 

“This morning, His Highness met Lord Rivers.” 

Kenny was shocked. “Where is Mr. Rivers?!” 

“The capital. He is being imprisoned in the mountains by the Quinns and the Lowes.” 

“I see!” Kenny clenched his fists tightly. Despite Ethan’s significant contributions to Riveria, instead of being recognized and rewarded, he was imprisoned in the mountains. 

He looked at James. “Is the South Regent looking to attack?” 

James nodded. 

“Aren’t you guys afraid of Mr. Rivers? He’s still alive after all.” 

James smiled. “That’s why we are here.” 

“What do you mean?” 

“Lord Rivers has given up on Riveria. He wants us to deliver you a message. 

Kenny’s expression turned heavy. A message from Ethan? What could it be? 

“Don’t wait for me.” 

Kenny’s pupils shrank. Brief as the message was, he fully understood Ethan’s meaning: Ethan had completely given up on Riveria.

South Regent would be entering soon, so it must mean that Ethan had decided to step 

All of them could act according to their own will. They could stay or leave. They were their 

own master. 

Kenny was clear that even though it may seem he had a lot of choices, there was actually only one option to leave Riveria. 

Without Ethan, Riviera would be in ruins. 

He sighed and got up on his feet. “Mr. Mayor, thank you. 

He had stayed in Riveria because he wanted to wait for Ethan. 

Unfortunately, Ethan was never going to come back in the first place. Now that Ethan had given up, he should move on as well. 

Stephen had decimated North Hill City, Seaside City, and Aqua City. His next target would be Celestial City. 

It was time for Kenny to leave the province or it would be too late once the city was in shambles. 

“You’re welcome.” 

James stood up and left. 

After seeing the mayor off, Kenny pulled his phone out to contact the other CEOS. 

“I know where Mr. Rivers is. He’s being imprisoned in the mountains by the Quinns and 

the Lowes, and he asked the 

for him. We are on our own.” 

South Regent to deliver a message to us, telling us not to wait 

Once the news broke out, many companies immediately prepared to leave Riveria. 

Celestial was the financial hub of the province. Once the companies left, it would impact the city greatly. 

Everyone knew what Riveria would become without Ethan. 

North Hill City, Seaside City, and Aqua City would be their best answer. 

Shawn Hill, Brandon North, Dennis Lewis, and Oliver Fox were all small fries, yet they were able to turn the cities upside down. 

Now that the big player, the South Regent, had entered the fray, what could George and Stephen do? 

No one had any hard feelings about leaving. They stayed because of Ethan, and now it was time for them to leave.
