"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
Shania froze.She never expected an old lady kneeling on the street begging for donations would be the hidden Killer X!Likewise, Uriah was unable to respond immediately.It was because it happened too suddenly and too fast. Saying it happened in the blink of an eye was insufficient to describe it.It would be strange if Uriah could react in time.However, just as Shania closed her eyes and waited to die while the dagger was about to stab her, a stone shot out of the blue.The ordinary little stone made a sharp screech when it rubbed against the air. It was unlike a stone but a sharp arrow—a powerful sharp arrow!The old lady's expression changed as she quickly retreated, narrowly avoiding the stone's attack.The stone hit a nearby wall and made a hole in the concrete wall with a bang!If the stone had landed on a human body, it would have pierced it!The person throwing the stone was none other than Sean!"Still in a daze?"Sean reminded him.Uriah finally came to himself
Then again.Zander had grown by going through countless wars with Sean.Having never experienced bloodshed or fire, Uriah was no match for Zander.After Sean's reminder, Uriah finally came to his senses.He withdrew his shocked gaze from Sean and lowered his head in shame.He winced at the thought of trying to draw his sword at Sean in front of the supermarket.If he had drawn his sword, Sean would have killed him right away!He was not even qualified to wield a sword in front of Sean!"Call the police. Call the sheriff's department. Tell them we caught the killer... Do I need to teach you how to do such a little thing?"Sean said, looking at Uriah as he walked over.Uriah wiped the blood from his face and lowered her head as he replied in acknowledgment."Let me do it."Knowing that the danger had passed and the killer had been caught, Shania became excited and eager.She quickly pulled out an exquisite phone and called the sheriff's department.Sean handed the remaining
"Got it."Sean nodded.Then Quentin hung up.A short time later, 800 thousand dollars was credited to Sean's bank account.It was the money Sean spent on Shania's necklace, which Quentin sort of paid back to Sean.Just then, Zander strode in."Commander, has Killer X been caught?"Zander asked with a smile.Assassins had always been scary and would destabilize a city.Thus, Zander was strongly hostile to assassins.Now that Killer X was caught, he was happy, of course."Yes, but she died before we could get anything from the interrogation, so I think there's more to this. I'll lift the lockdown in a few days," said Sean."Got it."Zander gave a heavy nod.Night soon fell.The canteen of the army camp was crowded.After a day's training, the soldiers were tired but full of spirit.Although tired, their faces were glowing. They chatted and laughed with their comrades while getting dinner, occasionally telling dirty jokes.Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out in the
"It's understandable that you want to eat and rest early after a long day of training. But is it appropriate to fight over such a trivial matter? You're all city defense soldiers, who went to war together. Don't you understand that?"Sean scolded exasperatedly.The two city defense soldiers lowered their heads in shame.The soldiers around them who had been heckling earlier looked ashamed."Commander Young and I will let you have our food, but you must also be punished!"Sean then looked at Zander and ordered, "Commander Young, take them outside to do five sets of push-ups. No eating until they finish!""Yes!"Zander gave a military salute before leading the two city defense soldiers out of the canteen to do push-ups in front of the main entrance.One set of push-ups was 20, so five sets were 100.They could take a one-minute break after each set.Sean and Zander's dinner was placed in front of the two city defense soldiers.Other city defense soldiers who had finished their
