Anyone qualified to have this bank card was elite.

Sean was once the best warrior in the Northwest. As a nine-star commander, he commanded millions of troops.

He certainly qualified.

A nine-star commander was honorable.

Money meant nothing to him.

Power had also peaked for him.

"But that was in the past."

Sean slowly looked up at the ceiling and muttered to himself.

He once had millions of brothers following him. With a command, he could seize 4,000 kilometers of land.

Money and power were easy to come by, and it was easy to reach the top.

However, he was now in a small town, where no one cared about him.

Even his legs were crippled.

"But that still doesn't break me.

"Because I'm Sean Lennon."

Sean slowly withdrew his gaze. Then he took the silver needles and began to perform acupuncture on himself.

He had to speed up treatment for his disability.

It was unclear what was going on, and he was afraid to call Zander at random.

Sean knew that all h*ll would break loose the next time Zander called him.

...

The next day.

River City Larson Residence.

Early in the morning, Hugo and Homer arrived at Old Master Larson's place.

Homer was concerned about Old Master Larson's illness.

Hugo was ready to see Sean and Homer make a fool of themselves.

Yesterday, not only did Old Master Larson give Sean his respect, but Greg also called him a miracle doctor!

It would be a great irony if Old Master Larson had not been cured.

"Old Master, how... do you feel?"

Homer asked as he looked at Old Master Larson expectantly.

"I slept soundly yesterday!

"Mr. Lennon is indeed a miracle doctor!"

Old Master Larson looked very excited and could not stop praising him.

Usually, his temperature began to rise gradually in the afternoon and began to drop again in the evening.

By 10 PM, his body would be in excruciating pain.

It felt like ten thousand ants biting.

It made Old Master Larson's life miserable.

Ever since Sean diagnosed him yesterday, he had been monitoring his body temperature, and it had been stable.

By 10 PM, the usual agonizing pain had not appeared.

For the first time in ten years, Old Master Larson slept soundly.

He was genuinely grateful for Sean right now.

Homer was happy for Old Master Larson.

Hugo, who had been waiting to see Homer make a fool of himself, left dejectedly.

"Mr. Clark said Mr. Lennon's a miracle doctor!

"Mr. Clark was telling the truth."

Homer was also extremely grateful.

"It's a debt. A great debt!

"We must repay the debt."

Old Master Larson immediately got up and said, "Does Mr. Lennon want anything in return?"

Homer shook his head and replied, "Mr. Lennon is a bit of a weirdo. He didn't want anything. He just asked us to be nice to the Quinn family."

Old Master Larson nodded slightly and said, "People with skills are mostly weirdos.

"But we must repay Mr. Lennon even if he doesn't want these material things."

Homer agreed with his statement and said, "I think so too, but I don't know what to give. Money?"

"No!"

Old Master Larson waved his hand and said, "It's inappropriate to give money."

"Mr. Lennon's crippled in his legs and it is difficult for him to move around."

"Pick a car and send it over so that Mr. Lennon has transport."

Homer's eyes lit up. A means of transport must be what Sean needed most.

It could also show the Larson family's sincerity.

"Okay! I'll work on it right away."

Homer immediately got up to leave.

"Remember, give him something good!"

Old Master Larson ordered.

"Got it!"

Homer nodded earnestly.

...

In the afternoon.

Sean took the bank card, preparing to withdraw some money.

He was penniless. He must have some cash with him.

He could not even afford a taxi ride right now.

Therefore, he could only leave the house in his wheelchair and head for the nearest bank.

Sean vaguely remembered that the bank was not that far from where Willow worked.

It was also what Willow wanted. Her workplace was close to home, and it was easier to take care of Sean.

Sean propelled the wheelchair for about half an hour before finally arriving at his destination.

Bang! Bang!

Suddenly, Sean heard a noise.

It was as if someone was setting off fireworks.

Sean frowned slightly and looked in the direction of the noise.

There were a lot of people around Willow's workplace.

There were men and women. It was very lively.

There were at least hundreds of them, and many of them were taking pictures with their phones.

Many were holding hand-twisted fireworks as they set it off. Colored paper flew all over the sky.

In the crowd, a young man in a white suit was holding a bunch of roses as he beamed.

The young man was already handsome, and his white suit brought out his temperament.

He looked like Prince Charming.

"Quill Zimmer!"

Sean frowned slightly as he slowly uttered the two words in a cold voice.

The young man who looked like Prince Charming was Quill, who would not give up pursuing Willow.

These people have no to little sense of real honor! The way they insult and belittle a disabled war veteran. What?! Does he have to have a card that shows his service? An evident scar from known weaponry? I hope he makes Willow great! The rest of them don’t deserve anything!

    Sean knew what he was up to when he caused such a commotion."Willow, it's my birthday today. I hope you can come and meet me!"Quill yelled toward Willow's office building.Many heads soon poked out from the office building, all looking downstairs."Wow! How romantic!""There are so many flowers and balloons!""Ms. Quinn, someone's here to confess to you in public!"All of a sudden, countless people in the company discussed excitedly.Willow frowned as she sat in her business suit when she heard these voices.At the same time, she felt a little helpless.Beauty was a curse.Willow's beauty was unrivaled in River City.Therefore, she had many suitors.These suitors automatically ignored Sean.Because Sean was only a vegetable and a cripple.Even though he was no longer a vegetable, he was still a cripple.What could he do even if someone courted his fiancée right in front of him?He could not even stand up, let alone defend his dignity.Willow had never enjoyed being

    Sean slowly turned the wheelchair with his hands and propelled it forward."Sean?"Willow widened her eyes suddenly, looking at Sean in surprise.She did not expect Sean to show up.Quill instantly frowned too. 'What's the cripple doing here?''Some of the people around them were puzzled, while some were disdainful.After all, many people knew about Sean.He was the famous vegetable of the Quinn family of River City."Sean, you'd better not get yourself into trouble."A chill flashed across Quill's eyes as he looked at Sean menacingly.However, Sean did not even look at him. All he could see was Willow.Watching Sean slowly propel the wheelchair toward her, Willow somehow felt a sense of security. Even though there was only a little bit."Willow, we're only engaged, not married."So you have the right to be happy."If you like him, I, Sean Lennon, won't interfere and will leave you now."If you don't like him, no one dares to force you into doing anything you don't lik

    "Mr. Lennon?"The crowd immediately froze. 'Mr. Lennon?'The middle-aged man looked magnificent in an expensive suit.The Vacheron Constantin watch on his wrist sparkled. He looked like a successful man.Mr. Lennon must be unusual for such a classy and successful man to be so polite to him.The crowd turned their eyes to Quill.Quill was undoubtedly the one with the highest status here.However, Quill was not a Lennon either!Therefore, who was Mr. Lennon the middle-aged man spoke of?"Are you looking for me?"Just then, Sean, who was in a wheelchair, asked lightly."Hahaha! Sean, are you kidding me?"Quill chuckled, his face full of disdain."Sean, keep your mouth shut."Willow frowned slightly. Though Sean had the last name Lennon, there were many people with the last name Lennon."What? The vegetable? This is killing me."Do you know who he is? How dare you relate yourself to him?"You're really a vegetable. Haha!"Quill clutched his stomach, his face full of scorn

I'll take you home."Willow wheeled Sean as she turned to leave."Hmm?"What about our car?"Sean paused and pointed to the Ferrari."Sean, everyone's gone. Stop it."You don't have to do that in front of me either."Willow glanced at the Ferrari with a flicker of surprise in her eyes, but she shook her head anyway.There were many good things in the world, but Willow knew she did not deserve them."What do you mean?"Sean froze when he heard that."Sean, I'm telling you one more time.

    She could only feel a cold sweat breaking out on her back.Sean's aura was so overwhelming!"Kill me? How are you going to do that?"Come on. I'll stand right here. Get up and kill me!"The woman put one hand on her waist and sneered after glancing at the wheelchair."Mr. Lennon, are you home?"Just then, a sound came from outside.Homer then walked into Quinn Residence."Eh? Mr. Larson?"Mr. Larson, what... what are you doing here?"The woman asked nervously when she saw Homer.Homer owned a lot of shares in the housekeeping company she worked for. He was her boss!Homer waved his hand slightly and asked, "What's this?" "Mr. Larson, I'm just asking this vegetable to help me with some laundry. It's alright that he won't help me. He even said he's gonna kill me."Don't you think this man is a lunatic?"The woman immediately glanced at Sean and said as she curled her lip slightly. "You asked him to do the laundry?"Homer asked with shock as his eyes widened at that."

    Homer deliberately said this in consideration of Sean's feelings, and it made Sean feel comfortable."Thanks."Sean did need a phone, so he did not say no."What are you talking about, Mr. Lennon? It's nothing compared to your help to the Larson family."By the way, when could Old Master take his second treatment?"Old Master slept soundly yesterday. You're indeed a miracle doctor, Mr. Lennon!"Homer's voice was full of admiration."In two days."Sean did not explain much but replied indifferently."Okay! I'll follow up on that soon, Mr. Lennon."I gotta go. Just call me if you need any help."Homer handed him a business card and left.Homer knew that a hedge between kept friendships green....Quinn Corporation.Meanwhile, senior management, including members of the Quinn family, arrived at the VIP reception room."Larson Pharmaceuticals is going to talk to us about a business deal!""Shhh!

    The expression of everyone in the room changed when the middle-aged man said this.The senior executives looked at each other.The Quinn family looked ghastly pale.They deliberately excluded Willow so she could not take credit.Now, the representative from Larson Pharmaceuticals wanted to talk to Willow about the negotiation?This...Was this a joke?Simon and Faye looked at each other, feeling a little upset."Mr. Ziegler, Willow isn't in the office right now."And she's not in charge of negotiating about collaborations."We came over from the branch office when we heard Mr. Ziegler is coming here."So you can just talk to us about the collaboration."Simon pondered for two seconds before smiling and looking at the middle-aged man.Mr. Ziegler hesitated for two seconds.'Homer told me to help the Quinn family as much as possible, like what Sean instructed.''Sean didn't tell us to talk to anyone specific.''It's only Homer's idea to talk to Willow about it.''Since W

    Simon spoke as he clicked the car key fob in his hand.Beep beep!A BMW lit up in the distance after unlocking."No, thank you."Willow stubbornly shook her head and got on her scooter."Hehe. Willow, just do whatever Grandma says and kick that cripple out of the Quinn family, and you'll make up with Grandma."My family got millions of dollars in dividends at the end of the year. You can get a car easily."Simon smiled playfully at Willow.Willow was practically a vegetable to him.If she had not insisted on keeping Sean in the Quinn family, would the Quinn family be the laughingstock of River City?It was why Old Madam Quinn held a grudge against Willow’s family.Willow's family could forget about the special treatment that the members of the Quinn family enjoy, let alone the dividends.At best, they would get a basic wage, so they would not starve."Willow, what the hell are you holding on for?"Wouldn't it be great to give up a burden for a better life?"Wouldn't it b

    "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
