NovelUpdateChapter 509 Ethan did not want money, power, or even Rachel. Stephen felt that there was no way to persuade him.
Now, the best solution was to find Ethan's weak spot and use it to threaten him. That way, Ethan would have no choice but to help. He thought about it. Family? Before coming to Riveria and seizing Ethan's achievements, the Quinns had already investigated his background. Ethan was an orphan, and his parents were unknown. Three years ago, he joined the Lowes and secretly helped them manage Riveria. At the stime, he helped George becthe mayor.
Looking back at it now, the only person with a close relationship with Ethan was the Grand Marshal, but he had passed away three years ago. Since then, Ethan returned to a solitary life.

Health? Ethan did not have to worry about his meals. He had a disciplined life, exercised regularly, and had a healthy body. Stephen could not think of any weak spot. Did he have to threaten Ethan's life? As soon as the thought appeared in his mind, he dismissed it.
He spent half a year in Riveria and knew that it was far more complex than he had expected. It was hard to tell who his enemy or his friend was, and he had already faced near collapse several times.
However, Ethan managed to gain a strong foothold here and even raised Riveria's GDP within three years.
Did Ethan not encounter any enemies along the way? Did no one try to kill him? Among the enemies Ethan had, one of them was the strongest king beyond the borders, the South Regent. The South Regent hated Ethan. After all, Ethan had burned his father alive, killed several of his brothers, and once held a gun to his head, forcing him to kneel.
Stephen felt that if he were in the South Regent's shoes, he would want nothing more than to tear Ethan apart. However, Ethan was still alive, and the South Regent did not dare to cross the border for three years.
Persuasion did not work, but force was useless too. Stephen sighed and decided to use a different tactic: appealing to Ethan's emotions! He looked at Ethan and said, "We've been fighting for half a year now. I feel like we've been at odds since the moment I arrived in Riveria. To be honest, I'm exhausted. I know you hate me, but I had no choice." Stephen continued, "Everything was arranged by my family. Even if I disagreed, I'm just one person. I can't resist them. I want to manage Riveri@well. When I finally enter the cabinet, I won't be bound by my family anymore. I can give you your freedom and repay everything I owe you. Please helpthis once." Stephen looked at Ethan, his gaze seemingly sincere.

However, everything he said was a lie. He never thought of opposing the Quinns. After all, they ingrained a strong sense of family honor fram his childhood. He attended various gatherings during the holidays before he becan adult, and after he did, he was expected to bring glory to the family. He would sacrifice himself for the family without hesitation. Everything he said was fabricated just to move Ethan.
After failing so many times, Stephen gained sexperience from his struggles, He had learned a lot since he first arrived. He believed that Ethan who saved Snow and Jeremy, and offered several choices to Tommy, must be a person who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Although he claimed that he did not care, he could not let things go.
Thus, Stephen deliberately put on a helpless expression, hoping to deceive Ethan into feeling compassion.
Just as Stephen put on his act, Ethan looked at him and felt like laughing. "It seems like you haven't been m completely unproductive in the past six months. At least, you learned how to play the victim. Your skill in lying has improved a bit compared to before." The will be updated first on this website.
