However, what surprised him was Sean's way of dealing with things.There was a saying—"Complicated things are usually unbelievably simple."Sean used a seemingly simple method to solve the root of the problem.He looked relaxed because he had expected it.You could only have that kind of control if you were confident.Not everyone had the brains to control everything.William knew that not even Sean's adoptive father, Colin, could do it."Old Master, he solved the problem and acquired Billion Trees regardless of the process."Lennon Real Estate will probably rise in Joules Town's business circle from now on!"Hubert's tone was emotional.Sean had visited William when he first came to Joules Town.You could not call him penniless at the time. However, he was a minor character without identity nor background in Joules Town.However, Sean had reached this point on his own in a short time.He did not get any help from the Collins family during this period. He did it all on his
It was a phone call from Janestown, and William dared not ignore it."Hello, this is William Collins speaking."William said as he answered the phone call."Old Master Collins, it's me."A middle-aged man's voice came from the phone."Mr. Jamestone? How did you find time to call me?"William sat up straight at the sound of the caller's voice.Although they were not as old as he was, status was not decided by age.As the saying went, you would not know your status until you went to Janestown.Joules Town and Janestown were very different in status.One was one of the modern cities, and the other was the capital of Dragon Kingdom, where the monarch resided.How could the two compare?How could someone from the Janestown government be taken lightly?The Collins family rose to prominence in Joules Town.However, even William had to remain respectful and polite in the presence of Janestown's big shots."Mr. Lupin has settled his business."I expect him to leave for Joules To
"You think I've changed a lot too, don't you?"I realized it earlier, but I have no choice."15 years have passed since I retired!"A lot can change in 15 years."Sometimes I even wonder if Colin would stay friends with me if he knew what I'm like now."William could not help laughing at himself as he spoke of it."Old Master, you don't need to surrender your integrity for the Collins family."Do whatever you want."Hubert pondered for a moment before whispering."Whatever I want? There's nothing I want to do."The Collins family doesn't have to be so successful. I'm content with where we are."William said as he picked up his phone.William hesitated slightly as he looked at Sean's number on the screen."Old Master, I still think we should be friends with Sean."It's for the Collins family."Sean isn't a regular man!"Hubert looked at William and persuaded earnestly."Okay."William nodded gently.Then he tapped on the dial logo.He eventually accepted Hubert's adv
"Don't you think our attitude's the problem, Old Master?"Sean's a human being. He's not a pet. He's also a capable person with high status."How can he accept being called upon and dismissed like this?"Hubert's words rendered William dumbfounded.Sean was a former commander, so he had his pride.He would not enjoy William bossing him around.After all, William was dismissive when Sean came to visit.They deserved Sean's attitude toward them!"But I'm his elder!"William sat down slowly and said through gritted teeth."But we didn't act like elders..."Hubert shook his head slightly. He realized William was getting a little senile.There was a term "Old man child". People did behave like children as they grew older."Anyway, invite him to dinner yourself if you want. I've done what I said. It's not my fault he doesn't come."William was silent for a moment. Then he turned and went into a room after saying.Hubert sighed, picked up his phone, and hesitated to call Sean.
Sean was interested in the news.He could reject or ignore the Collins family.However, even Sean would not take someone from Janestown lightly.Why?It was because Janestown was Dragon Kingdom's capital and where the sovereign resided.They were at the same ministerial level, yet the ones from Janestown had more weight than any other city.If Sean wanted to return to the army and avenge those who died in vain, there was no way he could bypass Janestown.If Janestown commanded to protect Blaze and prevent Sean from making a comeback, Sean would never have had a chance.If Janestown were interested in Sean, it would be a done deal. No one could stop him.Therefore, Sean attached great importance to Janestown's response."Mr. Lennon, are you listening?"Hubert's cry brought Sean back to reality."Go ahead."Sean replied immediately."Mr. Lennon, I know you're an elite who could get anything you wanted without help from others."But I think it would be nice to have some out
"But what?"Hubert asked quickly."My adoptive father told me many stories about the Collins family and his friendship with Old Master Collins before he died."He valued it more than anything else. Otherwise, he wouldn't have told me to ask the Collins family for help if anything happened."He valued his relationship with the Collins family right before dying in battle."He trusted the Collins family and Old Master Collins. It's why he told me those things."But what did I see when I visited you?"Hubert blushed slightly as Sean spoke."The Collins family didn't turn me down. Who they rejected is my adoptive father."It's not that Old Master Collins looks down on me. It's because he didn't take my adoptive father seriously."Pity my adoptive father died in battle, thinking of his friendship with Old Master Collins, and this is what they think of him?"Sean gritted his teeth slightly, finally expressing his anger to Hubert.He could understand the Collins family's attitude t
As a matter of principle, it was inappropriate for people with high ranks in the government to meet businessmen alone outside.People would easily think of them accepting favors and bribes.However, not all individual meetings were about these things.For example, Sean and Johnson met today to talk about the better development of Joules Town.It was impossible to say that Johnson did not have an ax to grind.He only wanted to make Joules Town better so that he could get some credit.Businessmen sought profit, and the government sought credit.That was what Johnson wanted.Therefore, there was nothing wrong with meeting alone.It was just that some people used the opportunity to make mistakes.Honk honk!Sean and Zander had just approached the hotel entrance.Suddenly there was a rapid honk behind them.You could tell from the honk of the car horn alone that the driver was arrogant.Vroom vroom vroom!Then several cars sped up from behind and plunged into the parking spac
Everyone fell silent.It was as if they were all mute.Wes and the rest did not fall silent because of what Sean had said.It was because of the icy look in Sean's eyes and Sean's powerful aura when he spoke.Wes and the rest had heard a lot of threats.However, they could not help but shudder at Sean's powerful aura.Sean's stare made them feel as if a bloodthirsty beast was staring at them.It made their heart beat faster and their scalp tingle.These heirs did not know predators or pressure.However, they felt terrifying pressure from Sean.It felt like the pressure of an herbivore facing the king of beasts."You... You..."Wes pointed at Sean.His mouth stuttered for a long time but nothing came out."Why don't I give you a chance?"Try killing me."Sean ambled up to Wes.He did not want to waste time with Wes and the rest.However, these pests would never stop until you subdue them all at once.Therefore, Sean thought of teaching Wes and his gang a lesson.Lest
"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
