She had lost the game.However, Sean's tactics were not Casper's style at all."Old Madam, you're a good chess player."After playing with Old Master Zackman for years, I've learned his ways. I'm more likely to lose than win if I play his way."Sean smiled and explained softly."So what are you trying to say?"Old Madam Zackman looked at Sean and asked indifferently."I'd like to play using Old Master Zackman's way this time."Sean said as he began to reset the chessboard."Here!"Old Madam Zackman would not reject him."After you."Old Madam Zackman said after the chessboard was set up.Swoosh!Sean picked up the chess pieces and started to move.Thud!Thud!They struck fast, and the sound of the chess pieces landing was clear."Knight, pawn, bishop..."Old Madam Zackman muttered as she made her move.The more she went on, the more shocked she became.Sean was not playing chess.He had reproduced Casper's playing style!Old Madam Zackman had played chess with Ol
"What did you say?"Old Madam Zackman slowly turned around to look at Sean."You have no right to do so."Dragon Kingdom is peaceful. You can look at other countries."There are countless countries in wars with people suffering."We live a comfortable and stable life because of the ones protecting us."They’re heroes who risked their lives for this peace. What right do we have to not cherish it?"Sean's words exploded in Old Madam Zackman's mind like a bomb.Then a deep silence followed....Living room.Henry, Henry's wife, and Henry's son sat and waited.Sean had been talking to Old Madam Zackman for nearly two hours.They had not come out yet.Henry, who rarely smoked, was also irritable as he walked around the living room."Dad, is this man you found reliable?"Henry's son asked with a frown."Never mind whether he's reliable."I'll break your leg if you're rude to Mr. Lennon again!"Henry pointed, his face cold."Don't scold Fred. Sean is so young. How can he k
Old Madam Zackman's eyes were vaguely red. It was as if she had just cried.However, a rare smile appeared on her face.Henry could not even remember the last time he saw Old Madam Zackman smile."Old Madam, how... how are you feeling?"Henry quickly walked over to help Old Madam Zackman."I'd like to eat some beef stew."As soon as Old Madam Zackman spoke, Henry's wife immediately widened her mouth.The family of three was all the more dumbfounded.Was Sean that amazing?What on earth had he done to Old Madam Zackman?She was originally a patient who would not eat or drink.Sean did not use medication or give her any injections. He just talked to Old Madam Zackman alone, and now she wanted beef stew.They had no idea what Sean had said to Old Madam during those two hours.All they knew was Old Madam Zackman was a different woman now, even if she was not glowing!"Mr. Lennon, can... can she eat?"Henry immediately turned to look at Sean and asked."Why not?"Go on. Let
"You must send Mr. Lennon back safely!"Henry knocked on the car window and spoke sternly to the driver."Yes!"The driver nodded, started the car, and slowly drove away.Henry stood where he was until the car disappeared before hurrying home.Old Madam Zackman was sitting on the couch.Henry's wife and son accompanied him by staying beside him.The beef stew was simmering in the kitchen, and the fragrance was beginning to waft everywhere.It was the most regular atmosphere in a family, but it had not appeared in Henry's family for more than a year.They were always in a bad mood because of Old Madam Zackman's illness.Old Madam Zackman was in a wheelchair and had to be attended to day and night.Later, Old Madam Zackman ate less and less until she even lost her appetite these two days.No one knew how frustrated and helpless Henry had been.Henry was filled with emotion when he saw this harmonious scene.He was also more grateful to Sean."Old Madam, how did Mr. Lennon
"It's nothing."Sean whispered back, waving his hands slightly."Ahem, Mr. Lennon. I have a relative who's in pretty much the same situation as Old Madam Zackman."I wonder if you could..."The driver coughed gently and was about to speak."No."Without waiting for the driver to finish, Sean quietly refused."Uh..."The driver froze, and his face reddened with embarrassment.However, Sean only turned his head to look out of the window at the scenery flashing by.Although he knew medicine, he had no intention of practicing medicine to help people.If he agreed to help the driver today, more people would be asking him to help them in the future.They would be looking for him to help with all kinds of illnesses.There were too many patients in the world. Sean did not have time for all of them.Therefore, he went with the flow in matters such as curing people.If there were a chance, he would not hesitate to help.However, he would never devote all his time to curing people
"Commander, I had no idea we would start a company."Zander said emotionally as he held the profile in his hand."Not only can we get rid of scum but also increase our importance, so why not?"If we want to meet powerful people and ask for their help, we must improve ourselves."The bigwigs you cling onto aren't called connections when you're incapable."Real connections aren't about how many people we know, but how many people want to know us."Sean picked up his coffee cup and walked slowly to the French window."Got it."Zander took it in carefully before nodding repeatedly.He knew if Sean's identity in the army was exposed, there would be countless people who would want to be friends with Sean.However, Sean was no longer in the army and did not have the power he once had.Even after he was exposed, there might be a lot of unnecessary trouble.Therefore, he could not use his identity at will.The only way to increase their leverage was through their finesse in busines
Sean slowly turned around, walked to the table, picked up his phone, and looked at it."What if they don't go?"Zander thought for a moment before asking softly.After all, it was always right for them to be prepared in advance."I will even go after Billion Trees. They're nothing."If they prefer to take the hard way. I'll strike them down together."As soon as Sean spoke, Zander immediately nodded without any more doubts....5.55 p.m.A private room on the fifth floor of Milan Hotel.Milan Hotel was located in the bustling business district of Joules Town.Just across the street was Billion Trees Real Estate's headquarters.There were many company buildings around. It was a busy area.It was not dark yet, but the lights in the office buildings and on the streets were already on.It was as bright as day outside.In a private room near the window on the fifth floor of Milan Hotel, you could see a large view downstairs, including the entrance of Billion Trees Real Estate
"Mr. Lennon, the two of them have an emergency."They couldn't make it, so..."A middle-aged man explained softly.Sean nodded his head gently.None of these people was a fool. Each was smarter than the last.At this point, they must know why Sean invited them.What Sean wanted to know was their attitude.Their attendance was indicative of this attitude."Tell Jeffrey to proceed."Sean slowly turned his head to Zander and said."Yes!"Zander immediately answered and walked out with his phone in hand.He said nothing in the whole process, nor did he say what to do.However, these seven successful people were shocked when they heard that.Sometimes, the more you did not know what the other person was going to do, the less confident you were.Sean invited them over for dinner today.They rushed here after struggling with themselves.However, they were prepared not to easily say what they had in mind.However, Sean just asked Zander to do something. What was he going to d
"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
