"He sent someone to abduct Willow."Sean said coldly, suppressing the irritation in his heart."What?"Jason was also instantly stunned to hear this.He knew how much Willow meant to Sean.Sean was supposed to find a way to get back into the army and regain control as soon as possible.However, he wasted so much time building an empire in River City for Willow.Everything Sean did was greatly related to Willow.Jon was desperate, wanting to threaten Sean with Willow.How pissed off must Sean be?"Mr. Lennon, I'm sorry..."Jason apologized to Sean repeatedly after coming to himself.He had no choice but apologize.Sean had the chance to kill Jon.However, Jason interceded for the Zimmer Family, and Sean did him a favor by letting Jon live.However, Jon was unrepentant as he immediately contacted Jen-Bond Holdings to intervene.It took Sean a lot of effort to get rid of Jen-Bond Holdings.However, Jon did not give up and kidnapped Willow.If Sean had not done Jason a fa
"Is your boss around?"Sean cut to the chase and asked.These employees did not know him, so they would not be cooperative.The best way was to give him the runaround."I'm sorry, our boss is out."What can I do for you, sir?"The beautiful woman in a medieval dress froze before asking quietly."Give him a call and ask him to come over."I have something important to see him about."Sean was terse, so he did not sound friendly."I'm sorry, sir."We don't have the boss's contact information."If you're a friend of our boss, you'd better call him yourself."The beautiful woman in the medieval dress smiled and politely refused.Their boss was not someone anyone could see whenever they wanted.If Sean knew their boss, he would have his contact information. He would not need her to call him.Sean frowned slightly at this."Then may I ask if you have seen this woman?"Sean pulled out his phone, found Willow's picture, handed it over, and asked."I'm sorry, sir. I haven't s
"What do you mean? Are you here to cause a scene?"The young man was also surprised. He had not expected Zander to be so tough.As the manager, he was in charge when the boss was not around. Therefore, he had to take care of this."I tried talking to you nicely, but you refused."Then there's nothing to talk about."Sean glanced at the young man before stepping aside and sitting down in a chair.Zander took the stairs, heading toward the second floor.No one stopped him this time."Do you have any idea what this place is?"You're dead meat if you make any trouble here!"The young man's face was dark as he pointed at Sean and shouted."What is this place?"Sean looked at the young man and asked in reply."You... You..."The young man pointed at Sean, momentarily speechless."I can barge in even if this is River City's government office."Who do you think you are?"Sean's eyes were calm, his tone a little dismissive."Who... Who on earth are you?"The young man was sil
The two people seemed familiar to him.However, Sean could not remember exactly where he had met them."Mr. Lennon, what did you find?"Is there anyone you have some sort of beef with?"Mr. Zedric asked quietly.They knew Willow was kidnapped, but they did not know Jon did it.Therefore, they thought that Sean's other enemies did this."No."Sean thought about it carefully but still did not remember the identity of the man and woman in the video.By the time Willow, the man, and the woman entered the private room, they could no longer be seen.After all, cameras were not allowed in private rooms.Customers would not allow that in a normal restaurant, let alone in one that sought privacy.Sean did not say much. He only stared at the screen silently.After more than ten minutes, the four slowly stepped out of the private room.Sean took a close look at Willow's expression.They seemed to have had a pleasant talk.Willow talked and laughed with them as they walked.The ca
The two security guards were anxious to see what was happening inside. They stopped nearby without saying a word. "Look at these people. Do you remember them?"Zander asked the security guards, showing them the surveillance footage containing Willow.The security guards gathered together and glanced at it before looking at the man in charge with some hesitation."Why are you looking at me? Don't look at me."Be honest. Say whatever's on your mind."The young man froze before saying hurriedly."Yes..."We remember. We remember this beautiful woman."The two security guards finally nodded and told the truth.After all, any normal man would do a double take on a beautiful woman like Willow.The two security guards were outside doing nothing. When Willow showed up, they kept their eyes on her.Therefore, they did remember Willow very well."What happened after they went out?"Sean looked at a security guard and asked in a whisper."What happened..."The security guard thou
"Okay, I'll work on it right now."Zander answered and picked up his phone to make a call.However, Sean's phone rang rapidly at that moment.Sean picked it up to look. It was a long list of digits. It did not look like a phone number at all.There was no indication of where the call was from.Sean had a hunch that the call was probably from Willow's kidnapper."Hello."Sean answered the call without delay."Haha. Worried, aren't you?"There was a sneer on the other end of the line. The voice sounded like it was processed with some special software."We can talk."Sean narrowed his eyes slightly as he got into the car."Before we talk, let me tell you something."I called you through VoIP, so you can forget about finding my location."You will only irritate me. Your woman will suffer if I'm upset."The man on the other line sounded triumphant."Got it."Sean nodded gently but did not say anything harsh to provoke him."You got it? I don't think so."Now, pull your me
Samuel knew what the middle-aged man meant.All of them knew Sean was the chairman of Lennon Group.Sean used to be the Quinn family's future son-in-law.However, the Quinn family tried everything to kick Sean out of the Quinn family.They thought Sean would be down and out after leaving them.The Quinn family was prepared to see Sean make a fool of himself.Things had been going well for Sean after he left the Quinn family.Sean need not give the Quinn family face anymore.Samuel rushed to Lennon Group after being informed by a phone call.They regarded Sean as a thorn in their flesh. They were always thinking of kicking Sean out of the Quinn family and having nothing to do with him.Now they wanted to curry favor with Sean and suck up to him, but they had no idea how.Samuel was aggrieved but could not retort. He could only pretend to hear nothing and stay silent."Everyone, please move to the meeting room."Mr. Lennon is waiting for you there."A girl with long hair ca
"It... It can't be..."Jon can't even come up with thirty million dollars right now."A middle-aged man said immediately."Yes! It's impossible."He can't afford it even if we killed him!"The crowd reacted subconsciously."Just because you can't doesn't mean I can't."Do you want the money or not?"Sean frowned slightly. He did not have time to explain how he got the money."Uhh... Mr. Lennon, we... we didn't mean that. We were only surprised..."The crowd quickly smiled obsequiously and explained when Sean sounded a little upset."Take what I give you."Don't ask for what I won't give you."Follow me, and I will make you better, not suffer."If there's a loss, I'll bear it."Everyone froze again when Sean said this.Then many people could not help feeling touched.These people were wealthy businessmen and were ranked as billionaires.However, they were holding up their companies under pressure that no one else knew about.They were under so much pressure when their
"Even if you haven't stepped into the legendary Transcendence Realm yet, you're already capable enough to overpower most martial artists! Mr. Lennon, you've possessed such strength at your age. You'll surely enter that legendary realm one day!" Adam exclaimed.He had practiced diligently day after day for decades, yet he was only a Beginner Great Grandmaster. Even so, he was one of the most talented martial artists among several generations of Greendom Chapel members. However, that talent was as different as night and day compared to Sean.Sean was now only in his 20s, yet he already possessed the strength to rival the supreme priest who had passed away.There were no other people as strong as Sean in the entire Dragon Kingdom."Alright, stop flattering me. I'll have someone transfer 500 million to you later. You can use it to improve Greendom Chapel's current situation. When the time comes, I'll accompany you to meet that man from Melode Cathedral," Sean said with a smile as he sh
"Mr. Lennon, you also know how strong that old priest is. We Catholics only have the supreme priest who could rival him. Now that the supreme priest has passed away, that old priest has become even more arrogant..." Sean nodded slightly and sighed before expressing his regret. "It's a pity about the supreme priest.""Human life has its limitations. The path of martial arts is long and arduous. Few people in history have been able to reach the legendary Transcendence Realm." Adam sighed as well. He had already reached Great Grandmaster Realm that countless martial artists dreamed of. Even so, there were opponents he could not defeat and problems he could not solve."Mr. Lennon, since you're willing to leave that calligraphy in Greendom Chapel, you must have some history with Greendom Chapel. I wonder if you can tell me," Adam finally said after a moment of silence.Adam was the former chaplain of Greendom Chapel, but he had gone into seclusion to further advance himself after stepp
A Christian refers to a follower of Jesus Christ who might be a Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant, or follower of another branch of the religion. A Catholic was a Christian who followed the Catholic religion transmitted through the succession of Popes, who were leaders of the Catholic church. Thus, All Roman Catholics were Christian, but not all Christians were Roman Catholic. The difference in beliefs had put the two in conflict."Could it be that their conflict has reignited? Didn't a Catholic priest warn those donkeys?" Sean asked with a frown.Adam nodded slightly and sighed before slowly replying, "It's just as you said. After the passing of Tiger Mountain's supreme priest, Christians often gave us Catholics a hard time. Now, not only are chaplains from all over Dragon Kingdom affected, but even Greendom Chapel has gotten into this situation."Most chaplains and churches relied on donations from their followers for their income. Once they lost this source of income, chaplains and
Meanwhile, a daunting aura rose from the old chaplain.The Brown brothers’ expressions instantly changed, even being forced back three steps by the pressure from the old chaplain before barely stopping.Willow's eyes filled with panic. She felt like she had encountered a mortal enemy and had her life on the line.Sean's gaze focused before he immediately reached out to hold Willow."Cut that intimidating aura out. Who are you trying to scare?" Sean snapped as he looked at the old chaplain.However, the old chaplain's kind demeanor changed. He stared solemnly at Sean and asked, "I'm asking who you are.""Who am I? Is my calligraphy in Greendom Chapel gone?" Sean replied indifferently.The old chaplain froze in place as if struck by lightning."What? The old chaplain is from Greendom Chapel? How is that possible… Greendom Chapel is a nationally renowned holy place. H-How could one of their chaplains be selling counterfeit goods here?" Willow exclaimed. Her hands covered her mouth
The smile on the old chaplain's face instantly froze. He looked awkwardly at Sean and stammered, "L-Look at my age. How could I engage in deceitful acts? God... I've lived a righteous life. I didn't expect to be so misunderstood in my twilight years..."Seeing the old chaplain's pitiful expression, Willow could not help but feel sorry for him.However, Sean looked disdainfully at the old chaplain before saying with a smile, "Sir, perhaps being an actor suits you better than being a chaplain."The old chaplain's acting skills were impeccable. He might even win a prize if he attended some award ceremony. With his white beard and the slightly worn-out robe that had turned somewhat faded, others might indeed mistake Sean for misunderstanding the old chaplain."Sir, you can't say such things! I've lived an honest life. You can't just tarnish my reputation!" The old chaplain pleaded earnestly, looking at Sean.Ignoring the old chaplain, Sean picked up a vase from the stall before him. W
Sean glanced at Elton and Bernie beside him and said with a smile. Elton and Bernie scratched their heads awkwardly and beamed. "After we finish browsing Antiques Street, let's head to the new company office together and get acquainted with it. At least we won't end up not knowing where our company is in the future."Daniel and his brothers immediately nodded.Then, the group continued to stroll through Antiques Street. However, Antiques Street had been around for so many years, and each stall was run by shrewd peddlers, who made it increasingly difficult to find hidden treasures.Even with Sean's keen eye, he had not come across a genuine antique after strolling through Antiques Street for so long. All he saw were counterfeit antiques that looked authentic.After another ten minutes or so, Sean suddenly stopped in his tracks.Not far away, an old man with white hair in a black robe opened up a large bag of items and placed the items on the ground. He then took out a small sto
Willow held Sean's arm, her face filled with happiness.Sean scanned the surroundings of the street stalls with a smile, searching for genuine antiques. The Brown brothers quietly followed Sean. With the Brown brothers standing behind Sean like bodyguards, the street peddlers who had heard about suckers in Antiques Street were now hesitant to make any sudden moves."Mr. Lennon, I heard this place is full of scammers. You wouldn't want to ruin your reputation here," Daniel reminded with a chuckle.Sean glanced at him and replied flatly, "Come on. Would my reputation be ruined in such a small place? Check out the two little trinkets Willow bought for only 500 dollars. If we auction them off, I can make at least 20 million dollars!"Daniel and his brothers paused and turned to look at the hairpin and the ring Willow was holding.Seeing the three men interested in the items, Willow stopped and handed the hairpin and ring to Daniel. "Feel free to take a look."Since they were Sean's
It was normal to pay others for their service. Sean only gave them 10 thousand dollars when he had made 20 million dollars a while ago. Ten thousand was just a drop in the bucket. Daniel and his brothers swiftly made their way through Antiques Street, soon spotting Sean and Willow. Sensing someone approaching, Sean immediately turned around to look. Sean smiled when he saw the Brown brothers."Mr. Lennon! Mrs. Lennon!" Daniel and his brothers greeted respectfully when they arrived before Sean and Willow. Willow felt slightly embarrassed at being called "Mrs. Lennon" and only nodded slightly before looking elsewhere. Sean nodded with a smile. Fortunately, this part of Antiques Street was relatively isolated with few people around. Otherwise, Daniel and his brothers' sudden appearance would attract attention."Mr. Lennon, you spotted us from so far away. Your abilities are admirable!" Daniel lamented.Sean shook his head with a smile and said flatly, "Martial arts is all a
"Don't be offended. Mr. Lennon also instructed us to watch over these three guys here," Bobby answered with a smile, not mentioning that they were hired earlier to mess with Sean for 3 thousand dollars.The four men standing before them were burly and not easy to mess with. Bobby would not foolishly tell them he had tried to trouble Sean."Is that so? How can we be sure you're not associated with these two?" Daniel asked hostilely as he raised his eyebrows skeptically.Bobby and his henchmen's expressions immediately changed, fear evident in their eyes. Bobby quickly pulled out his phone, showed the transaction record of Sean's payment, and said, "Look, look! This is the record of the money Mr. Lennon just wired me!"Zander glanced at it, confirming the identities of the three men in front of him as the same ones Sean had mentioned on the phone."I'll take these two back to the company. You three can find Mr. Lennon and help him out with any troubles," Zander said solemnly.Dan
