The odds that the young man was an eight or even a nine-star were even less!"Commander... Commander Lupin, why do you say so?"The visibly shocked attendant stammered.Hanson pointed at Sean in the distance and said, "The man must be somebody to have a subordinate covered in scars and have a lot of combat experience. So I'm assuming he's a seven-star commander, and he's been in the army for a long time."After a pause, Hanson continued saying, "Most importantly, though he looks young, there's something sharp and unstoppable about him! I have only seen a few young seven-star or eight-star commanders with such aura, so I'm certain he's at least a seven-star commander."The attendants nodded when they heard Hanson's words.They looked at Sean and Zander from a distance, curious about them.At the same time, Sean, who was far away, looked in their direction as if he sensed them.However, he soon withdrew his gaze and only looked at Hanson, who was the leader."He noticed us... He
"Someone wants to see you."The young man said.Zander did not answer but turned around to look at Sean.He was Sean's subordinate, so he had to follow Sean's orders and could not randomly answer others for him.Sean did not hesitate. He smiled and nodded."Okay, lead the way."With that said, Sean said to Caitlyn and May, "Wait here with the kids for a while. I'll be right back with Zander.""Be careful."Caitlyn reminded him instantly.May did not say much and only nodded to Sean.Sean was no longer a child. May had faith in his abilities and trusted him.The young man in military uniform led the way, zig zagging around Martyrs' Memorial Garden. Besides that, he walked very fast as if to spite Sean and Zander.However, forget about Sean. Even Zander could easily keep up with him. He would never lose him.They soon came up to a middle-aged man.It was Hanson, of course!A smile slowly spread across Sean's face when he saw Hanson.He had seen Hanson, not in person, but
After all, Sean was only in his early twenties. There were almost no nine-star commanders under 40 years old in the past!Therefore, for a young man in his early twenties to be awarded the title of nine-star commander was tantamount to causing a major earthquake.Hanson, a commander himself, naturally heard about it.However, Sean later disappeared from the army as if he had vanished into thin air, leaving no trace.Hanson was unrelated to Sean. He regretted not being able to meet him but had not paid much attention to him since then. However, he did not expect to see him here today!"So you're Sean... What happened? Why did you suddenly leave the army?"Hanson asked, turning solemn.Sean's brow furrowed."It's all Blaze's doing."Sean did not hide anything from Hanson.Why?It was because the Lupin family was like the guardians of Dragon Kingdom.Everyone in the Lupin family was brave and honorable.Dragon Kingdom might be doomed if even the Lupin family could not be trus
Hanson had expected Sean to be greedy and ask him to help him unconditionally.However, it turned out he was being paranoid.Sean's request was as simple as it could be, and it was easy for him to do without leaving a trail or something for people to use against him. They would not be detected by Blaze's people either.Hanson was even embarrassed by Sean's request."You can ask for more."Hanson said after a moment's hesitation.It made the attendants present look unconvinced.They thought Hanson would never agree to Sean's request. However, Hanson not only agreed, but he also offered to do more.Sean shook his head and said with a smile, "No thanks, Commander Lupin. I'm already satisfied if you could let me return to the army. Besides, I don't want to give you too much trouble. If Blaze finds out you helped me, maybe he'll go after you.""Why would I be afraid of Blaze?"Hanson said domineeringly with a wave of his hand.However, Sean stood by his decision. He did not want
The patriarch of the Collins family, William Collins, was holding a coffee pot in his hand and was smiling as he poured the middle-aged man in front of him a cup of coffee.If it was not Hanson, whom Sean had met earlier during the day, who else would it be?"I've visited Joules Town's Martyrs' Memorial Garden. I met many of my old subordinates and comrades... How time flies! Before I knew it, I've been in the army for more than 20 years."Hanson said with a smile, picking up his coffee cup.William nodded repeatedly. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he said cautiously. "Commander Lupin, now that you're in Joules Town, I'd like to invite you to see someone.""Who is it?"Hanson looked puzzled.William smiled and said, "He's called Sean Lennon and is Colin Langdon's adopted son. He's pretty capable. As soon as he arrived in Joules Town, he founded Lennon Group and toppled Billion Trees Group, a local conglomerate. He eclipses everyone, leaving all affluent families in Joules
Ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of Queen Children's Orphanage.Without waiting for the car to come to a stop, William pushed open the door and got out. However, he only noticed that the orphanage's entrance had been locked when he approached it.It was already past 10 PM, and the night was dark.Queen Children's Orphanage was not an entertainment club, so it closed early, of course."Call them! Hurry and call them!"William ordered."Yes."Ignoring his humiliation, Jacob pressed on Queen Children's Orphanage's doorbell.As he did so, Jacob kept yelling, "Open the door! Mr. Lennon! Madam Randall, I'm Jacob. I need to see you for something!"The doorbell blared in the yard.Many children, already asleep, were awakened by the doorbell ringing.Caitlyn got out of bed in a daze, looked toward the yard door, and muttered angrily.Director May also got out of bed.Even Zander and Sean, camping out at the orphanage today, had woken up.Both of them were already on hig
William asked straight to the point once he saw Sean.Sean nodded and said, "Yes, Commander Lupin and I have met at Martyrs' Memorial Garden today. What's the matter? Do you have an opinion on that?""Of course not... I've only come to you to explain that I was already planning to introduce you to Commander Lupin. But I didn't think you'd coincidentally meet him in Martyrs' Memorial Garden today."Awkwardness came over William's face."Thank you very much, Old Master Collins."Sean said indifferently.Although he thanked him, Sean's expression was indifferent. There was no sense of gratitude.William knew Sean was giving him a hard time, of course. He was also difficult at the time. Besides, he did so much worse than Sean did!Sean did not say anything sarcastic or add to his misfortune, which was already pretty good!"Sean, I know you're bitter about what happened back then, but you should know that I may have a history with your adoptive father, but I'm also the patriarch of
Jacob was thrilled when he heard this.It was because William was old now—already 60 years old, but he was still healthy and energetic.At this rate, he would have no problem living for another ten years.Besides, he had Hubert before him.Therefore, Jacob did not think he could take over the Collins family and be the patriarch. However, he did not expect William to come to a rude awakening and take the initiative to relinquish power because of Sean.It was a huge blessing for him.In that case, Sean was probably his good luck charm!With that in mind, Jacob made up his mind secretly that he must strengthen his bond with Sean and keep in touch with him more often."Yes, Father. I got it. I'll work hard!"Jacob said excitedly.Queen Children's Orphanage.May walked in and asked in confusion, "Sean, what did William come to see you about? Wasn't he rude to you when you visited him earlier? Why did you come over tonight?"May's series of questions left Sean at a loss for a mom
