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
As soon as he finished speaking, the male manager rushed toward Sean, raised his fist, and punched at Sean hard at the face.You could tell that the male manager was trained. He moved much faster than ordinary people.However, what did it matter?Could someone who had worked out in the gym for a few years be a match for a soldier who had fought on the battlefield even if he was physically strong?Sean lifted his foot and kicked the male manager in the stomach, sending him flying far away.Sean had already gone easy on him with the kick.If he did not hold back, he could make the male manager bleed internally or even die."F*ck you..."Clutching his stomach, the male manager got up from the floor and glared at Sean with a sullen look.Terrified, the female attendant ran over, grabbed his arm, and advised, "Sir, stop it. It would be troublesome if it becomes a big deal...""F*ck off!"The male manager pushed the female attendant away, pulled out his phone, and walked toward Se
"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
