"As you wish."Sean nodded with a smile.Next, Sean took Shania to the mall nearby.Not many pedestrians were on the way, and there were fewer people in the mall than usual.If it were in the past, the major shopping malls downtown would be full of people.However, though there were people in the mall, it was not as many as usual.Shania, who was closely following Sean, carefully followed his pace and constantly looked around.Shania was wary of those around her. After all, no one knew if Killer X was hiding in the crowd. As the mayor—Quentin's daughter, she was Killer X's potential target, so she was afraid that a killer would come out of the crowd and assassinate her."Mr. Lennon, do you think that serial killer would actually kill me?"Shania asked in a hushed voice."I don't know."Sean shook his head.Sean had no idea. He just thought it was possible, and he had nothing to do in the army camp, so he asked Shania out as an experiment.There was nothing to lose by tryin
800 thousand dollars!The necklace cost 800 thousand dollars!However, 800 thousand dollars was nothing to Shania. She only winced slightly after hearing the amount rather than turning away immediately like the average person.Sean also walked over, glanced at the necklace, and said, "It's beautiful.""Will you buy it for me?"Shania immediately looked at Sean with a smile.Sean was silent for a second before asking seriously, "What gave you the idea that I would buy you this necklace?"The woman was a little too naive.Shania instantly froze in place, unable to recover her senses after a long time.Yeah.Why would Sean buy her this necklace?The necklace cost 800 thousand dollars. It was not an average gift you would buy for others.Besides, she was not that close to Sean yet.It would be strange that Sean was willing to buy it for her.Shania touched her purse. She only had 500 thousand dollars in it. It was not enough to buy this necklace.She had a credit card. Howev
Aria held the necklace and scornfully sized up Shania as she said to the man beside her, "Lowich, it seems we shouldn't have visited Dorodo. It's much worse than Crosac. Besides, as the daughter of the mayor of Dorodo, she can't even afford a necklace, which is so embarrassing. I'm mortified to think that she and I are both daughters of a mayor!""Yeah, she doesn't deserve to be the mayor's daughter."The man Aria called Lowich smacked his lips and said.Shania's cheeks turned red instantly. However, it was not because of shyness but anger!She was Mayor Quentin's daughter. She deserved to be the daughter of a mayor, of course!However, Aria laughed at her. How could she endure it?"Who says I can't afford it? I'll buy it now!"Shania then stretched her hand to Aria and said, "Give me the necklace. I'll buy it now!""Forget about it, Shania. Do you have that much money on you? Don't tell me you're going to max out your credit card."Aria said with a chuckle.Shania did plan t
Besides that, Sean rotated Lowich's entire arm 180 degrees just by twisting his wrist, causing Lowich's expression to change dramatically as he screamed in pain.Sean unapologetically pressed down, and Lowich dropped to one knee.He struggled to get up but failed!Aria's expression instantly changed at the sight of this. She never expected the ordinary man before her to be so strong!Lowich was a bodyguard her father had hired for her. He was said to be able to take on more than five special forces soldiers singlehandedly!However, he was powerless against the young man!"Can you return the necklace to Ms. Lewis now?"Sean asked with a smile.Aria was upset, but her bodyguard would probably lose his arm if she did not do what Sean said.She had no choice but to shove the necklace into Shania's outstretched hand."Here's your necklace!"Aria said angrily.Sean only loosened his grip slightly once Shania got the necklace.Lowich quickly backed away, moving his arms and threa
"What more do you have to say?"Sean looked at Aria with a smile and asked calmly.He did not use a sarcastic tone, and his voice was very calm. However, Aria found the ordinary statement particularly harsh.It was as if someone had slapped her hard."Hmmph, we'll see!"With that said, Aria turned around and marched off, with Lowich stumbling behind her as she headed for the mall exit."Stop!"Shania shouted suddenly."What is it?"Aria stopped and looked back at Shania with resentment.Shania glanced at Sean before saying to Aria with emphasis, "According to our bet earlier, you lost. You should apologize to Mr. Lennon!""Apologize? To him?"Aria smiled contemptuously and said arrogantly, "I'm not apologizing. What can you do to me?"With that said, Aria turned and walked away.Lowich gazed at Sean and Shania before following Aria's lead.Shania frowned and said to Sean, "Mr. Lennon, are you just going to let them go?""What else can we do?"Sean smiled bitterly.Ari
"Come on, let's go and look elsewhere."Sean said before walking off into the distance.Shania hurriedly wore the necklace around her neck, caught up with Sean, and headed with him.Sean took Shania to many places in the next three hours.Shopping malls, supermarkets, amusement parks, and restaurants—wherever the crowds were.Although Sean said nothing, Shania also vaguely figured that Sean took her to crowded places to lure out the mysterious Killer X.Of course, there was no way to know if Killer X was hiding in the crowd, but there was nothing to lose by trying.Unexpectedly, as soon as they walked out of a supermarket, Sean and Shania were stopped by a young man wearing a suit with a sword hanging around his waist.Sean had never met him.However, Shania knew him because he was the bodyguard that Quentin hired for Shania, Uriah.Uriah seemed to be half Dragon Kingdom people by blood. He looked like a Dragon Kingdom local, but his sharp Roman nose proved that he had some f
"Killer X might be hiding in the crowd and targeting the mayor and the mayor's daughter, Ms. Lewis."Sean said flatly."And what's that got to do with you taking Miss out despite the danger?"Uriah asked sternly.Sean continued saying, "I'm planning to use Ms. Lewis as bait to lure out the killer."It was silent.Three seconds later, Uriah bared his teeth and yelled, "You b*stard, how dare you..."As he spoke, Uriah wanted to draw his sword.However, at that moment, a powerful pressure suddenly burst out of Sean's body!Uriah felt he was in a different environment. He was no longer in front of a supermarket or on a broad street but on a smoldering battlefield!Bodies were everywhere as far as the eye could see.Corpses were scattered all across the mountain.Red blood stained the ground, and broken shell cases covered the ground.Uriah's body trembled instantly!In an instant, his surroundings returned to the way it was before.He was still at the supermarket entrance an
Uriah did not know what to say and could only let out a long sigh.Just then, Sean suddenly glanced at him."Do you like Shania?"Uriah instantly froze when he heard that.Of course, Shania also froze.Shania never expected Sean to say such a thing in front of the two parties involved!'Are you that blunt?'Can you not be so blunt?'Would being a little tactful hurt?'Uriah's slightly handsome face flushed a little before he lowered his head and said, "No, I was just respecting Miss. I'm only a bodyguard, trying to protect her from harm with my sword.""Just admit it if you like her. What's with the stutter? Are you even a man?"Sean added, glancing at Uriah.Uriah fell silent.He liked Shania. Otherwise, he would not be in such a hurry to catch up with her after she left the mayor's residence suddenly.Besides, he would not have been that mad at Sean when he saw Shania and Sean together.Uriah already saw Sean as a rival at the time!It was an impulse he had no way of
