"It's pretty grand."Sean got out of the car and sized up the crowded Central Square and the gorgeously decorated stage."How extravagant and wasteful."Zander said immediately."You can't call it extravagant and wasteful. Since such a gala can soothe the people and calm the tense atmosphere, it's still useful. Besides, the people at the bottom of the hierarchy are also involved, aren't they?"Sean said with a smile.Sean disliked parties, but what he disliked was high society's parties meant for mingling.In his opinion, those parties were extravagant and wasteful.However, this gala was different. It was attended not only by many high society members but also by many of the lower-class people.Besides that, it could clear the previous panicked atmosphere and effectively soothe the people, which was conducive to urban civilization development and the stability of law and order.Thus, such a gala was useful.Zander thought about it and agreed with Sean's idea, so he nodded.
With that said, the beautiful reporter, Mary, looked expectantly at Sean. Her eyeshadow-lined big eyes blinked non-stop.In Mary's opinion, no man would refuse such a trivial matter when a beautiful woman like her requested it herself.However, Sean said flatly, "I refuse.""What?"Mary was instantly stunned. She never thought Sean would reject her request for an interview!"Hold on, Commander Lennon. I only want a brief interview. I'm not going to ask you any tough questions..."Mary said quickly, inadvertently tugging at her collar so that Sean could see more of her chest.Unfortunately, Sean never gave her a second glance."Keep quiet and watch the gala. Yell again, and you'll be kicked out of here."Sean said without emotion before striding off toward Mayor Quentin.Zander said solemnly, "Did you hear Commander Lennon's orders? Keep quiet and don't shout!"With that said, Zander strode off too.Watching the two walk off into the distance, Mary froze and was dumbfounded
"You're right."Shania nodded heavily.Sean's expression looked much better now that he had cleared the misunderstanding.The singing and dance performances also began, and Central Square started becoming lively and joyful.Although the gala was prepared at short notice, the singing and dance performances on stage were good. At least most of the people were happy.Feeling the harmonious and lively atmosphere, Sean nodded with satisfaction."Mayor Lewis, I didn't think you'd try to soothe the crowd with a gala. It's a good idea."Quentin instantly smiled when he heard Sean's compliment."Hahaha, it's actually my daughter's idea. She suggested that I hold a gala.""I see."Sean nodded and glanced approvingly at Shania.Shania instantly felt embarrassed. Though Uriah nearby did not do anything, you could tell he looked slightly nervous.It seemed Uriah still had a crush on Shania and saw Sean as a love rival.However, Uriah also knew he was too far behind Sean in terms of str
Uriah was confused. He felt like he was listening to a complicated tongue twister."Let's just say that when you fought Killer X, every attack was a prediction." Sean stopped at this point, giving Uriah time to think.Uriah immediately nodded to show that he understood what he was saying.Every attack Uriah launched on Killer X was a prediction of Killer X's behavior. For example, when Uriah saw that Killer X was about to dodge, he attacked her first.However, Uriah never managed to hit Killer X with any of his attacks. Instead, he was repeatedly wounded, leaving him covered in cuts after the fight."Your anticipated attack failed to hit Killer X because she predicted what you predicted."Sean continued saying.When Uriah heard that, something instantly clicked."And that's what happened when Killer X attacked me. She predicted what I predicted, but I thought further ahead. I predicted what she predicted I would predict, so I knew what she would do and found an opening. And as
The beautiful reporter, Mary, and the cameraman were at the edge of the crowd.It was already the closest they could get to the big shots near the stage. Even so, they could not get any interview opportunities.Several security guards were watching the two of them not far away. If they harassed the high society members, they would be thrown out of the venue.That way, their interview mission would be a complete failure."D*mn it. How dare that stupid commander-in-chief reject my interview!"Mary said bitterly, her white teeth almost shattering from clenching."I told you so."The cameraman also looked shocked as he spoke helplessly."Am I not beautiful? Am I not young? Is my figure bad? Am I not attractive? But he didn't even look at me. It pisses me off!"Mary said and stomped.Fortunately, she wore high heels of good quality. Otherwise, her heels would have broken after that stomp."Save it."The cameraman sighed.Mary tiptoed to look at the table at the front and saw Se
"What do you think of the gala's performances today?"Shania asked suddenly."It's pretty good."Sean nodded."All that matters is that you enjoy it, Mr. Lennon."Shania said with a smile.Just then, Zander suddenly said, "Commander, look over there."Sean looked in the direction Zander told him to look and saw a female usher in a red gown coming this way with tea and drinks in her hand.Of course, a female usher was nothing to worry about.However, the problem was that the female usher was the beautiful reporter, Mary, who had been clamoring for an interview with him!Besides, Mary put the microphone on the tray she was holding without any concealment, which indicated her identity even more."This darn woman..."Sean could not help frowning."What happened?"Shania looked in confusion toward where Sean was looking, but she did not find anything wrong with the female usher after looking for a while."She's the female reporter who wanted to interview me earlier. I just do
The assassin was good—probably better than the female assassin before him.The few security guards present were no match for him. He defeated them one by one. They fell to the ground, and they had difficulty getting up.The male assassin rushed at Sean—as fast as lightning.The beautiful reporter Mary was terrified and on the verge of tears as she looked at the male assassin's savagery.The male assassin was now in front of Sean.Sean suddenly raised his left hand and struck into the air as if anticipating the assassin's attack.However, the male assassin made a ghostly sideslip that eluded Sean's attack.His prediction failed!Uriah's expression instantly changed as he watched.He was just asking what if the assassin was in level four and predicted what Sean predicted he would predict Sean to predict.His fears had come true so quickly!The male assassin was close at hand as he smiled sinisterly as if saying, "You're dead!"Just then, Sean's left hand that had missed earli
...It was late at night.The gala was over.The male assassin had also been arrested. However, it was unknown whether he died of poison like the female assassin or was being interrogated by the sheriff's department.The top floor of an apartment in an upscale neighborhood near downtown.There was a sudden banging on the door.Wesley frowned before walking to the door and opening it.No sooner had the door opened than several figures appeared outside.One was Alfie, Dorodo's biggest weapons dealer, and the other was Alfie's son, Lorenzo. Then it was a middle-aged man with a wrinkled face and crooked mouth and eyes.The middle-aged man’s face was full of hostility, and the look in his eyes was even terrifying.Wesley's expression instantly changed when he saw them."What are you doing here? Didn't we agree to only contact each other by phone and not meet directly?"However, Alfie had already strode into the room, followed by his son and the middle-aged man."My two companio
