However, almost at the same time, the second arrow came flying accurately and went deep into the neck of the leader of the mercenary regiment with a whoosh.The arrow hit the flesh, and the crimson blood instantly gushed along the shaft, staining the clothes of the leader of the mercenary regiment red."Sir!""Our leader is wounded!"A cacophony of voices rang all around as the mercenary regiment screamed in horror.However, who would have thought that the third and fourth arrows came flying together and accurately struck the leader of the mercenary regiment in his left chest when he was still mounted on a horse? An arrow to the heart!The fourth arrow hit the leader of the mercenary regiment right between the eyes with a bang!With a thump, the leader of the mercenary regiment fell from his horse, as dead as could be.50 meters away, Sean slowly lowered the bow and arrow in his hand, a cold smile on his lips.However, Zander did not put down his bow and arrow. He continued wo
She knew Uriah was right.Sean, Zander, 10 city defense soldiers, and 5 personal guards only made up 17 men.However, they were pursued by hundreds of men!The difference in numbers was simply too great to make up for."Maybe... Maybe they're okay... Mr. Lennon is strong. He, Mr. Young, and the others will catch up with us..."Shania said in tears.Influenced by her, the expressions of the remaining members of the personal guards became sorrowful.Uriah let out a long sigh and said, "Miss, I'll admit Mr. Lennon is tough, but what could a tough guy do with a group of enemies a dozen times more than himself?"Hearing Uriah's words, Shania became upset.Uriah looked over his shoulder at where he had come from before saying in resignation, "Ms. Lewis, Mr. Lennon, and Mr. Young sacrificed protecting us. They'll live on in our hearts. We will never forget them!""Yeah, we'll never forget them!"Shania nodded heavily as she cried.In the woods, several stray mercenaries knelt on t
Sean looked at the third survivor. Before he could ask, the mercenary said quickly in tears, "I'll tell you. I'll tell you everything... We're mercenaries from Crosac. We're from Hibiscus Mercenary Regiment. Our leader...""You're lying."Sean cut him off.Crosac's three major mercenary regiments were named after flowers. They're Black Gold Flower, Hibiscus, and Edelweiss.Poetic as it might sound, these three major mercenary regiments had made a reputation for themselves in the City-State Union.Black Gold Flower Mercenary Regiment had been disbanded.The remaining Hibiscus Mercenary Regiment and Edelweiss Mercenary Regiment had their characteristics—each mercenary of Hibiscus Mercenary Regiment had a hibiscus tattoo on the back of their left hand, and each mercenary of Edelweiss Mercenary Regiment carried a mercenary dagger with an Edelweiss carving.However, the mercenary in front of him had neither of those things. He was only lying.He and his companions were not mercenari
If Sean and Zander had not gone to the Townsend family and stopped them, Raphael City might have succeeded.However, due to Sean and Zander stopping Raphael City's plan, the relationship between Dorodo and Raphael City immediately fell to the breaking point.Raphael City suddenly ambushed them, and it did not seem to be for nothing."Say nothing. Let's get on the road and try to reach Crosac before dark."Sean ordered."Yes!"Zander, the city defense soldiers, and the mayor’s personal guards said yes solemnly. This time, Sean did not lower his voice.It was because the stray mercenaries were either dead or had run away. They had scattered.Thus, there was no need to worry about alerting them.It was getting dark.In front of Crosac's city gates, a blond woman with blue eyes and dressed to the nines stood in front of a car, waiting.Behind her was a ceremonial team of hundreds of people.These ceremonial team members were selected from Crosac's city defense army and were rea
"Our diplomatic convoy was attacked on our way here. A mercenary regiment of at least 100 men ambushed us. To protect the mayor's daughter—Ms. Shania, the city defense army's commander-in-chief—Sean, and the chiliarch—Commander Zander, led their men to use themselves as bait to distract the mercenary regiment. It's how we got here."Uriah said grimly and slowly."What... What about Mr. Lennon?"Lisha panicked as she hurridly grabbed Uriah's arm and asked.Uriah was mildly surprised that the woman in front of him would care so much about Sean's whereabouts.'Does she know Sean?'Shania rubbed her eyes as she stepped forward and said, "Mr. Lennon... Mr. Lennon... Mr. Lennon's probably..."Shania could not continue speaking halfway through her sentence.Uriah let out a long sigh and said, "100 mercenaries armed with weapons attacked us. Commander Lennon and Commander Zander are probably..."As if struck by lightning, Lisha was dumbstruck for a while.The team that was supposed t
Sean smiled and replied, "To put it bluntly, it's simple. Two words—guerrilla tactics.""Guerrilla tactics?"Flynn frowned slightly, thinking about the meaning of these words.Sean continued explaining. "Yeah, guerrilla tactics. If it's a head-on battle, my men and I are no match for more than 100 mercenaries. They could crush us in numbers alone. But inside the woods, the effectiveness of numbers will be limited. Instead, the flexibility of small units will be greatly enhanced and thus be more advantageous."Flynn had mostly figured it out at this point.That was it.Sean and his crew of a dozen men were no match for a mercenary regiment of more than 100 men when it was a head-on confrontation.However, Sean's small combat unit was able to fight flexibly because of the complex terrain and trees that hid them after they entered the woods.The mercenary regiment of 100 men could not take advantage of their numbers. Having too many men made it impossible to attack in unison. Thei
She wore a fitting pale purple long dress, a pale gray sun hat, and pale purple heels. The outfit made her seem mysterious and elegant."I didn't expect you to be the daughter of the mayor of Crosac."Sean said with a smile, greeting her.Sean and Zander had met earlier with Ms. Lisha on the plane to Crosac.Lisha wanted to switch seats with Sean, but he refused, so they got into a minor conflict.When the plane was in danger of crashing due to a cold current, Lisha's parachute pack had a problem, so Sean gave her his.Thankfully, the plane escaped the cold current and landed at Crosac Airport.Even so, Lisha excitedly thanked Sean and gave him her business card.Sean did not realize Lisha Crosac was the eldest daughter of the mayor of Crosac. It was only when he met her in Crosac again that he finally knew her true identity."I didn't expect you to be Dorodo's city defense commander-in-chief, Mr. Lennon."Lisha said with a smile before walking up to Sean."Are you going out
"Are you coming back tonight?"Shania asked first."Keep a distance from Ms. Lisha and don't create any diplomatic issues."Uriah said after some hesitation.Only Zander knew what Sean was like, so he said nothing.Sean frowned as he looked at Shania and Uriah. He did not expect these guys to say such things.He only accompanied Ms. Lisha to go shopping. Why did they think something was going to happen?When Sean's face darkened, Shania mischievously stuck out her tongue while Uriah looked away slightly awkwardly, pretending he had not said anything."I'll be back by eight."Sean said and headed outside.As soon as he stepped out of the door, Sean quickly stopped because Lisha had followed him to the door and waited for him at some point."Have you informed them?"Lisha asked, blushing slightly."Yeah, I did."Sean nodded."Then let's hurry out. It's getting late. It's already past noon."Lisha said somewhat eagerly.Without further ado, Sean followed Lisha toward the
"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
