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
"Who is it?"Wesley shouted toward the door.Then a young man's voice rang outside the door. "We're here to check the water meter.""Checking the water meter in the middle of the night?"Wesley fumed, but he got up and walked over to open the door for the people outside anyway.The door opened with a thud, and countless city defense soldiers in military uniforms rushed in. Wesley was immediately grabbed by several city defense soldiers!Alfie and Lorenzo's expressions instantly turned ghastly at the sight of it.They quickly looked for a chance to escape, but the door was blocked. Where else could they run?They were on the top floor, at least 30 or 40 meters above the ground. They were incapable of jumping from mid-air and not dying!"D*mn it..."The middle-aged man cursed hoarsely before drawing a black dagger from his waist.Almost at the same time, rows of arrows were flying toward the middle-aged man. The cold gleams from the arrows made his scalp tingle.There was a t
"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
