"He thinks too simple of things."Someone nearby commented immediately."That's right."Although he's wealthy, he doesn't know a lot of things can't be settled with money."The middle-aged man with a slicked-back hairstyle nodded again."And who do you think will win?"A wealthy lady nearby asked quietly."I don't need to think about that."Billion Trees Real Estate, of course.""Yes, Billion Trees Real Estate is an established company in Joules Town after all.""It's well-connected and rich. Lennon Real Estate is wealthy but new!"Everyone shook their heads. Most people thought that Sean would lose if he wanted to go against Jimmy."I think there's more to this handsome boy than meets the eye."He must have had a plan in mind if he said that."What if he has something good to overpower Jimmy?"The rich lady with a pearl necklace said after taking a sip of red wine."Haha! Youngsters take things too easily.""Let's just watch him lose badly in the end."The crowd laug
"What's this, Mr. Lidell?"Weston quickly asked Jimmy when he noticed something wrong with his expression."B*stard! Do these people have a death wish?"Jimmy grabbed a document and threw it out.Swoosh!A large pile of papers fell in the air.Weston grabbed one of them and was shocked as soon as he saw it.The words "Notice of termination" caught his eye."Notice of termination, notice of cancellation, unilateral termination of contract..."Weston flipped through the documents on the floor like a maniac.Every one of them was a unilateral termination contract.The more Weston looked, the wider his eyes grew, and the more horrified he became.He finally understood why Jimmy was so mad.A real estate company could not take care of everything by itself.They could not operate fully without working with a lot of companies. For example, building materials companies for construction and companies that provided construction crews.They needed construction materials, workers
"Commander, Jimmy must be scratching his head in a panic right now."Zander said respectfully from behind."No, it's not enough."Sean shook his head slightly.There was no way such a simple measure could bring down Billion Trees Real Estate so soon.Besides that, it was not just luck that made Billion Trees Real Estate survive for so long.They could deal with public relations crises.Therefore, Sean could not achieve his purpose with this move alone."Jimmy is capable of growing Billion Trees Real Estate to what it is today."But does he think that's all I can do?"Sean said, and the smile on the corners of his mouth grew increasingly thoughtful.Since arriving in River City, everything he had done in the business circle was well thought out.Some things looked stupid and a waste of time to others.Only Sean knew what he was doing."You must have done what I asked you to do the other day."Sean asked casually, looking ahead."Commander, which... which one?"Zander as
"I don't know. They just bypassed the real estate company and came to us..."The secretary whispered, gritting her teeth."Come on, let's go downstairs to check it out."Jimmy was still confused....In front of Billion Trees Real Estate's headquarters building.More and more people gathered here and had unfurled banners.Many people were watching."Bro, what's going on? Are you a tenant of Beauty Lake Town?"A middle-aged man asked in the crowd of onlookers."Yes! You too?"Don't you know construction has been on pause for a long time?"They have already delayed delivering our units, which is considered a breach of contract. Without workers, when can they deliver it?"Billion Trees Real Estate's going to run with our money!"The young man, who was chanting just now, said to the middle-aged man."What?"The middle-aged man froze and soon joined the crowd condemning Billion Trees Real Estate.As the crowd of onlookers grew larger, reporters from various media outlets ru
Several senior executives were also worried.However, there was nothing they could do now.There were two things. One was the contract termination with several companies they were working with.Even Jimmy could not fix it, let alone them.The second was the negative impact caused by the owners making a scene now.That left their company's public relations people to sort it out.They could not get involved either."Mr. Lidell, why don't you call Sean?"Weston was silent for a few seconds before looking up and suggesting."Call him?"Why should I call him?"Jimmy's face was full of disdain."I think we should keep him away first."Then we can fight back."Weston pondered for two seconds before saying again.Jimmy forced himself to calm down and think about what Weston had said.After a few seconds, he nodded.Billion Trees Real Estate had experienced many crises as it developed over the years.If they could not cope with the crises, they would not have grown to this siz
"Are you f*cking kidding me?"Jimmy could not help cursing.Although he tried to suppress his emotions, Zander's offer made him furious.There was no way he would sell Billion Trees Real Estate.Even if he were to sell it, he would not sell it for only two billion dollars!Billion Trees Real Estate's total value was worth more than three billion dollars.Things like social resources could not be measured in terms of money.Was buying it for two billion dollars not a joke?"What's the matter? Are you unhappy with the price?"Zander asked calmly with a faint smile."Of course not."Jimmy replied with a cold snort."1.5 billion dollars then."Zander paused as he decreased the price by 25%."Are you looking for trouble?"Jimmy narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes cold."A billion dollars."Zander decreased another 500 million without hesitation.Jimmy was no longer angry at this.Because he knew Zander did not want to talk to him.Sean was determined to bring down Billi
"Why... Why?"Jimmy quickly asked, his eyes wide."You really don't know?"Do you want me to tell you why?"Mr. Evans asked with a slight frown after glancing at Jimmy.Swoosh!Jimmy's face went pale instantly.He knew how Billion Trees Real Estate earned its fortune over the years.Shoddy construction and cutting corners were nothing.He knew very well the quality of the buildings he built.Everything was fine if the higher-ups did not look into it.However, once they started, they would find out everything.However, there were many ways to make the construction quality look up to standard.Therefore, Jimmy did not see any big problem with it.He had spent a lot of money to clear the dirt on Billion Trees Real Estate over the years.He could not think of any reason for them to shut down their building.Jimmy rubbed his nose and suddenly remembered something.Mr. Evans seemed to be on good terms with Ray.Ray and Sean were close friends.With that in mind, Jimmy inst
Zander made Jeffrey handle it all.Having someone else handle everything, Sean had a lot of free time.He spent a lot of time with Patrick's daughter, Helen."It's better to spend time with children than to fight and kill."On the way back, Sean smiled and looked out of the window."Uncle Sean, did my dad use to be great?"Helen was holding a doll as she asked seriously."Of course."Your father is a hero."Dragon Kingdom enjoys stability, peace, and security because of heroes like your father, who gave up their lives for it."Sean stopped smiling and turned to look at Helen. His voice and eyes were serious.He meant it. There was nothing fake about it."My father is really good!"Uncle Sean, you're great!"Helen was young. Perhaps she could not fully understand what Sean meant.However, she understood the word "Hero".Sean reached out and rubbed Helen's head without saying another word."Commander, I don't think you're bringing them down because Jimmy offended you."
"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
