Seeing this, Lillian quickly ran after Sean."Mr. Lennon, let me accompany you back to the army camp...""I'm a man. Do I need you to send me?"Sean snapped after turning around to glance at Lillian.Lillian instantly blushed, feeling a little scared. "Mr. Lennon, don't be mad about what just happened. My uncle misunderstood you. He meant no harm.""I know he meant no harm. Otherwise, would I have let him go?"Sean said, glancing back at Frederic and the other guests.His eyes were calm, but Frederic and the customers felt as if they were being cut with a knife, and they were terrified."To avoid further misunderstandings, you'd better not see me again, Ms. Townsend."Sean said and headed for the door.However, he then thought of the ancient bronze sword fragment, and maybe Lillian or her father had other clues. He stopped near the door and said, "Of course, if you have news about the ancient bronze sword fragment, you have my permission to see me at the army camp."Once Sea
The ancient bronze sword fragments did hold a secret!Judging from the report, it was not a small secret!Sean had already found the ancient bronze sword intensely strange at his first sight of it in the Townsend family house.Sean had always trusted his instincts.During many wars on Dragon Kingdom's borders, he led his troops by relying on his intuition, bypassing the traps laid by the enemy and striking the enemy accurately.His intuition did not always work out, but it was effective.He also chose to trust his instincts this time, and it paid off.Picking up the test report on the desk, Sean read it carefully.The first half of the test report was about the test of the ancient bronze sword's material. This part showed that the ancient bronze sword looked like an antique from ancient times, but it was only a modern product made to look old.The other half depicted an incomplete map.Sean found the map strongly familiar after seeing it.'Isn't this the map of Silver City?'
However, due to the balance of forces, no city had ever struck Silver City.However, two years ago, which was also eight years after Silver City was founded, the small gold mine finally dried up.Hundreds of tons of gold extracted from the small gold mine were made into gold bricks and stored in Silver City's secret warehouse.It was then that the City-State Union's major mercenary regiments could not resist it anymore.One night, several large mercenary regiments combined forces and struck Silver City, eventually taking over it.However, the mayor of Silver City had sensed the crisis in advance, so he asked Dragon Kingdom for help and was willing to pay 80% of their gold as a mining tax to seek Dragon Kingdom's help.However, the major mercenary regiments were so fast and aggressive that Silver City had fallen before the Dragon Kingdom could reply to them. The entire city fell into the hands of the major mercenary regiments.Silver City's mayor was killed. The citizens were lef
After a pause, Sean added, "Now that we have some information on Silver City's secret warehouse, don't tell anyone about it for the time being. While you contact them, don't disclose anything about the bronze sword, the map, or the numerical code, lest it causes a stir.""Yes, Commander!"Zander nodded heavily.Zander had no doubts about Sean's arrangement because he thought it was for the best too.Only they knew the bronze sword's secret for now. If more people found out about it, word would inevitably get out.It would be troublesome if it reached other cities in the City-State Union.After all, there were only three cities managed by Dragon Kingdom, but there were hundreds of cities in the City-State Union!If the City-State Union formed an army to attack Silver City, Dorodo, Dorandue, and Bittan alone would not be able to resist the combined onslaught.Even if they had the nine-star commander, Sean, in command and leading them, they would still fail!Just then, Sean's pho
When he was in the army, Sean ran 12 kilometers a day, carrying 40 kilograms in gear. It was only one of his exercise routines.Therefore, a few kilometers was no big deal.Besides, he could keep a low profile by walking. He would not stand out too much.They agreed to meet at 8.30 p.m., but he had already arrived at 8.20 p.m.He thought he was early enough, but Ronald and Lillian were earlier than him."Mr. Lennon, you're here early!"Seeing Sean in the distance, Lillian excitedly stood on her tiptoes and waved her arms at him.'I'm early?'You father and daughter don't get to say that. You got here earlier, okay?'Once Sean reached in front of them, he was about to say hello when Ronald laughed and said, "Mr. Lennon, did you walk over? All the way from the army camp? It's several kilometers away!""Yeah, Mr. Lennon. Why didn't you take a car?"Lillian asked in confusion.Sean glanced at the father and daughter and suddenly realized they looked similar. Not only their look
There were five steaming cups of coffee on the wooden coffee table. A bowl full of sugar cubes was placed in the center, while a small cabinet full of snacks was in the corner of the private room.All this showed that the private room was not for ordinary people.After Quentin, Shania, Sean, Ronald, and Lillian sat on the brown couch, the female attendant who followed them inside smiled and said, "Mayor Lewis, there are staff outside who can help you if you need anything, or you can just contact me. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first.""Okay, I'll leave you to your work."Quentin nodded with a smile.After the female attendant left, Ronald asked curiously, "Mayor Lewis, the woman earlier...""She's Celine James, the owner of New Era Cinema."Quentin replied.Ronald was immediately impressed!Sean was a little surprised.He thought the woman was an attendant. He did not expect her to be the owner of the cinema.It was not easy for a woman to own such a grand cinema.I
Sean looked calm.Tobias' incident was no big deal. He did not take it to heart.He was concerned about the ancient bronze sword fragments.After all, the ancient bronze sword fragments hid important information about a secret warehouse in Silver City, which involved hundreds of tons of gold!With that in mind, Sean turned to look at Ronald and asked, "Mr. Townsend, where did you buy the ancient bronze sword?"Hearing Sean's question, Ronald immediately replied, "It's from Crosac. I bought them at an antique market in Crosac.""Really?"Sean asked.It was important, so he had to confirm it."Of course. I dare not hide such a thing from you," Ronald said with a wry smile."Was the ancient bronze sword already shattered when you bought it?"Sean asked again."Yes, I just found the fragments interesting. So I bought them as a lark."Ronald said with a nod.Quentin was curious as he heard Ronald and Sean's conversation.He looked at Sean and asked, "Commander Lennon, I didn'
New Era Cinema was indeed the most luxurious cinema in Dorodo.As soon as he entered the washroom, the row of marble sinks and gold-plated faucets caught Sean's attention.Looking at the gold faucet and the fine marble sinks, Sean could not help saying emotionally, "How lavish."However, Sean was not here to use the toilet.He was only here to excuse himself from the private room and reply to Zander's text message.Just as Sean sent the edited text message, a sound came from the cubicle inside."Sir, don't...""This is the men's room. What if someone comes in...""Don't mess around. It's inappropriate if someone sees us..."The woman sounded so reluctant that Sean frowned.Then came another man's voice."What's the matter? Are you disobeying me?"I'm the department manager. I'll fire you if you disobey me!"Believe it or not. I can fire you with one word."The woman instantly fell silent when she heard the threat.In the cubicle, the young man in a designer suit leaned h
