5 a.m.The sun had just risen in the east, and reveille blared in Dorodo's city defense army base.3,000 city defense soldiers stood on the field, neatly dressed. They began running in a neat line on the field at the word of command.The team of 3,000 men ran orderly. Most importantly, they ran for a full hour.A five-kilometer jog for an hour was Dorodo's city defense army daily routine.They had to jog five kilometers every day, regardless of weather, rain, or snow. Besides that, no one was allowed to take the day off.Not only regular soldiers must run, but also officers of all ranks.The three chiliarchs were running on the field with their respective troops.Wesley was the one at the front.The two younger men at the back were the other chiliarchs—Anthony and Gregory.Wesley was 55 years old, Anthony was 35, and Gregory was only 32.Neither Anthony nor Gregory was married, let alone had kids. Only Wesley married and had a family in Dorodo. He also enlisted his only son,

Anthony said with a smile.Gregory did not say much but was clearly on Anthony's side.Wesley looked at the two and said, "Don't you have any complaints? The three of us had a chance to be the commander-in-chief, but Commander Lupin sent an outsider to be commander-in-chief out of the blue. Even that I can accept. I accept orders from our higher-ups. But how can I stand it when that person is a punk in his 20s?"Wesley said and snorted angrily. You could tell that he was furious."Forget about it for now. Let's hurry over. He might be waiting for us."Gregory reminded.The commander-in-chief's office in the city defense army base.Zander stood aside solemnly while Sean sat in the commander-in-chief's chair, flipping through the papers in front of him.These documents were about the city defense army's affairs over the last six months.Sean read quickly. He had an idea of the city defense army's situation.Just then, there were loud footsteps outside. They could tell it was We

Now that the morning training was over, some soldiers went to the canteen to eat, while others went back to their dormitories to wash up.However, more city defense soldiers gathered at the headquarters building.It was because many of them had heard about the sudden appointment of a young commander-in-chief.Besides that, the chiliarchs were currently in the commander-in-chief's office, arguing with the young commander-in-chief, who appeared out of the blue!"Hey, do you think the three chiliarchs are a match for the young commander-in-chief?"A square-faced city defense soldier said, looking excited.Another slightly younger city defense soldier immediately said, "Who knows? But a commander-in-chief is still a commander-in-chief after all. The three chiliarchs combined still have a lower rank than him. Could they intimidate him?""But this guy was appointed all of a sudden after all. He's not promoted step by step. I don't think he could do anything if the chiliarchs were to w
The Guardian's Sword Chapter 1576
However, if so many city defense soldiers did not accept Sean as the commander-in-chief, he could use it to his advantage!Sean and Zander understood Wesley's intentions.Anthony and Gregory read his mind too.The atmosphere in the commander-in-chief's office was tense at the moment."What if I refuse?"Sean asked with a smile.Wesley snorted coldly and said, "I'd like to see you subdue so many city defense soldiers! Come down with me now if you have the balls!"Wesley was only talking tough. He did not think Sean would agree to such an insulting request.Unexpectedly, Sean agreed immediately."Okay, let's go downstairs and spar. I'd like to see what you're capable of!"With that said, Sean strode out the office door.Instead, Wesley, who made the request, froze in place. He did not recompose himself for a long time."You're still here? You're not afraid, are you?"Sean looked out the door at Wesley, who was still standing in his office, and said flatly."I'm afraid? I do

Gregory stepped back and gave the floor to Sean and Wesley.After all, the two would be putting on a show for them!Sean turned to Wesley and calmly asked, "Commander Jokerman, how do you want to challenge me?""You can choose, lest you deny it when you lose! Archery, swordsmanship, strength, and close combat. Take your pick!"Wesley spoke generously. Sean narrowed his eyes slightly, and a faint murderous aura came from him.He had put up with Wesley many times, but Wesley repeatedly disrespected him. He even spoke rudely. He was basically treading over him!It seemed he had to be taught an unforgettable lesson so that he knew there would always be someone better! "Okay, archery then. But since it's a challenge, there has to be a prize."Sean took two steps forward and said slowly.Wesley knew the highlight was here when he heard the word "prize".He was forcing Sean to agree by challenging him to pay some price for his failure.Therefore, he went on. "We do need a prize.

He was exhilarated.It was because he could not rebel against Sean in his capacity as a chiliarch.However, thanks to so many city defense soldiers emboldening him today, Sean had no choice but to go downstairs and compete with him. It was a great opportunity for him.If he could take this opportunity to defeat Sean, Sean would have to resign and make him commander-in-chief as promised!Wesley's heart instantly gushed with ecstasy at the thought of his impending success.Sean was calm.His expression and eyes were calm. There was not a single emotion in them. It was almost as if nothing in the world could make him angry.It was Sean in battle mode.People might unleash a force far greater than usual when they were angry.However, archery was not a contest of strength but skill.Therefore, a calm mind was more appropriate than an angry outburst."Don't try to irritate me, Wesley. I'm young, more than 30 years younger than you. But I've experienced more in 20 years than you ha
The Guardian's Sword Chapter 1579
Though Wesley said so, he had no intention of giving Sean a chance to back out.Before he had finished speaking, he had taken up his third and last arrow.He drew the bow, set the arrow, and aimed.Wesley did it smoothly and quickly.As soon as he loosened the fingers, the bowstring shook as the arrow shot out. The black arrow shot like lightning toward the circular target 100 meters away.Boom!The ninth ring!The ninth ring again!Although it was not a perfect tenth ring, hitting the ninth ring was also pretty good."Commander Jokerman's third arrow hit the ninth ring. His total score is 28!"Gregory announced loudly.Putting down his longbow, Wesley snorted coldly and stepped aside.It was Sean's turn to shoot."Punk, you exaggerate your abilities. I've given you many chances, but you refuse to give up. Will you only regret it after getting into trouble?"Wesley said bitterly.Zander nearby was furious and wanted to lash out instantly, but Sean shook his head at him.

No way. No way. He could not possibly pull off such a miraculous stunt, could he?Anthony and Gregory glanced at each other, and they saw intense wonder in each other's eyes."Watch, this is Commander Lennon's archery. It's a spectacular feat you'll never emulate!"Zander said suddenly.Sean suddenly loosened his fingers once Zander finished speaking.The black arrows shot like lightning and disappeared in front of everyone with a swoosh.Almost as soon as the first arrow hit the circular target, the second arrow left the bowstring and shot out again!The third arrow was faster. The third arrow flew out before the second had even hit the circular target, following closely behind.The first arrow hit the tenth ring!The second arrow hit the first, splitting it in half and nailing it deep into the red center ring.Still the tenth ring!The third arrow hit the second arrow, splitting the second arrow in half, piercing the 10-centimeter thick wooden circular target!It hit the

"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 Guardian's Sword Chapter 2636
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
