At the gate.Two security guards were standing guard.Queen Children's Orphanage often received visits from kind people, who sometimes donated things.Therefore, the presence of strangers was not surprising.Sean took out his identification card for registration and entered the orphanage.Some children were playing in the yard.They were young. They looked like they were five or six years old.Their clothes were simple.Their clothes were clean even though they were not some luxury brands.Several kids grinned at Sean when they saw him coming.It brought a smile to Sean's face.Because that was how he was when he was a kid.Whenever strangers came, they brought them supplies.It was also their happiest time.The orphanage had expanded quite a bit.The office and dormitory areas looked well-furnished and even had air conditioning.Anyway, it looked a lot different from the run-down home Sean remembered.It was not easy to go from being a privately run orphanage to where
Even children cruelly abandoned by their biological parents were little angels to her.She could not provide them with the best living conditions but took good care of each child."What's the matter, young man? Why are you quiet?"May looked at Sean and asked with a frown.She did not recognize Sean after 13 years.He looked somewhat familiar, but she dared not guess wrongly if she knew him or not."Aunt May."Sean's nose felt sore as he stepped forward and plopped down on his knees.With Sean's status, not many people could have him kneel to them.He was the pride of the army, the god of war, and a nine-star commander.He only acknowledged Colin in the army.Outside, he had neither father nor mother, and no one could make him make such a grand gesture.However, he knelt to May willingly and without hesitation."Who... Who are you?"May froze when she heard Sean call her that.Only the kids from the orphanage would call her that.Did that mean Sean used to be a member o
"The phone number is no longer available..."We could get through at first. Then we couldn't..."May said, shaking her head slightly.When Colin had taken Sean, May was worried and would often call to ask if he was okay.Later, the Collins family told May that Sean had gone to war with Colin, and they never got in touch again.May thought Sean might have perished on the battlefield.It was why she was so excited after recognizing Sean."It's alright. I'll go find them."Sean smiled and closed the profile."Seanie, just go about your business."I'm glad to be able to see you."May helped Sean fold his collar and said with a smile."Okay! I'll come back to see you another day."Sean nodded gently. He had more important things to do right now."Okay!"May smiled and nodded as she prepared to see Sean out the door."Aunt May, look at this news."Mysterious tycoon bought Riverside Villa for close to 100 million dollars."It would be awesome if we could get him to help!"J
5 p.m.Sean finally arrived at the address.The Collins family had reached prominence more than a decade ago.Unexpectedly, they lived in a suburban area in Joules Town instead of downtown.No wonder a Joules Town resident like Jeffrey did not know much about the Collins family.You could only say that they had a low profile."This should be it."Sean mumbled to himself as he looked out the window at the scenery flashing by.After all, he had been here once.Besides, he could already remember things at the time.The Collins family never moved after more than a decade. They were still in the same place.A building slowly emerged before them in the distance.It looked like one of those estates.There were green lawns, magnificent vintage buildings, beautiful rocks, and pavilions.At first glance, it looked like the home of a lord of the Regency era.It seemed this was the home of the Collins family."Even though this area is remote, I'm afraid the value of such a large ho
Therefore, it was not surprising that they found the two names familiar.However, they would not expect a noble nine-star commander like Sean to come here alone and ask to see the Collins family.Because if the nine-star commander came, even William had to receive him in person."We'll see tomorrow."We'll see if Old Master Collins wants to see him."The two security guards slowly turned and returned to their posts.On the other side, Sean stepped into the car and let out a helpless sigh.As the saying went—"It's better to handle things yourself."There was truth in this saying.When Sean was at the top of his game, he could easily do many things with a casual lift of his hand.Never had he stooped so low to beg.However, he had no choice."Commander, how was it?"Zander and Jeffrey asked Sean."We'll see how it turns out tomorrow. Let's go home first."Sean waved his hand and spoke without giving much explanation."Yes!"Zander answered, started his car, and headed fo
Sean missed her after leaving for only two days.However, he should refrain from contacting her.Otherwise, not only would he reveal his whereabouts, but he could also put Willow in unnecessary trouble.Therefore, Sean put down his phone after hesitating for a moment....At the same time.Willow in River City was also holding her phone and looking at Sean's photo.She missed him, worried about him, and was sad.However, she was also afraid to contact Sean.According to her sources, someone had gone about River City these two days, and they were asking around for information about Sean.Those people even had the Quinn family on their radar.Willow was not sure whether they had been in contact with members of the Quinn family.Before he left, Sean told Willow that she only had to protect herself no matter what happened.Willow did not have to worry about the rest.Willow kept Sean's words in mind, so she did not contact the Quinn family.However, members of the Quinn fami
First of all, Jason's identity was well known, and he was a big shot.A big shot like that served as a driver for the people Simon mentioned.That meant those guys were more important than Jason.It was highly credible if that was true.It seemed Sean was wanted in the army!"No wonder he's so wealthy. It turns out he stole that money from the army."Old Madam Quinn said, and a chill flickered in the depth of her eyes.She despised Sean's behavior. Soldiers put their lives on the line to protect the country, yet Sean stole the funds that the higher-ups gave them to protect the people!How heartless!"I know, right?"He was so arrogant, but it turns out he's only faking it."I guess he ran away because he heard someone was after him."Why else would he be so anxious to leave without even saying goodbye?"Simon sneered. He was convinced that Sean was a wanted man.Old Madam Quinn nodded again.After all, Sean left in such a hurry that they did not even know when he left
"Grandma, what is there to wait for?"Simon curled his lips in grumbled in dissatisfaction."We've had a few fights with Sean many times over the years, but we've never been able to gain any advantage."Every time we think we're going to win, Sean comes up with a new strategy and turns things around."So I think things might not be as simple as we believe this time."After all, what those people say is only one side of the story. We can't believe them 200%."Old Madam Quinn pondered for a few seconds before speaking her mind."Grandma, they're soldiers! I've seen their credentials."Sean keeps saying he's some big shot. Why haven't I seen his credentials?"Do we have to think hard to find out who's lying?"Simon shook his head helplessly and said to Old Madam Quinn with a frown."So why did they talk to you instead of going after Reach For Will Group?"Old Madam Quinn picked up her coffee cup and said to Simon as she narrowed her eyes."They... don't want to act rashly and
"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
