Sean glanced expressionlessly at Shania and then this mischievous girl immediately shut her mouth obediently.After dinner, Sean returned to his room.Zander followed him, perhaps to report something, and Sean had some questions for him as well.Sean had been away from the mayor’s residence all day today, and who knew if anything bad had happened here after he left?“Commander.”Zander said as he approached Sean.“Have a seat.”Sean said as he pulled over a chair.Zander did not refuse and sat down on the chair. He then began to report his observations to Sean in detail.“Commander, after my observations these past few days, I found that the residents of Crosac are generally friendly towards Dorodo, especially towards the people from Dragon Kingdom. However, there’re also some unfriendly ones, mostly the native residents of the alliance, particularly the several big families of Crosac.”“The several big families of Crosac harbor some hostility towards Dorodo, and among them,
The next afternoon.Sean and Lisha left the mayor’s residence and headed to the Harvey Tower to attend the auction organized by the Harvey Chamber of Commerce.The Harvey Tower was located near the central square in the city center. Lisha drove Sean to the destination quickly.After they left the parking lot, they arrived at the entrance of the Harvey Tower.However, just as they stepped onto the steps, two security guards in suits stopped Sean and Lisha.“Are you guys here to attend the auction?”A security guard asked, with a suspicious expression on his face and constantly sizing up Sean.It was because Sean’s attire was too ordinary. He did not have a single designer brand from head to toe, and he even had a long sword hanging from his waist. Hence, such attire naturally aroused suspicion.Most importantly, Lisha was dressed elegantly and radiantly.When Sean and Lisha were standing together, they were like people from two different worlds, and the difference could be de
After Harvey came out of the building, he quickly walked over to Lisha.“I'm sorry, Ms. Lisha, it's my fault for not arranging things properly.” Harvey apologized with a smile, then turned around and gave an angry look to the two security guards.These two guys were too foolish as they did not know how to discern situations. Their thinking was too rigid, and they had no judgment at all!If he had known this would happen, he would never have let these two guys greet guests at the entrance.“You two idiots! Go collect your final paychecks and get out of here immediately!” Harvey ordered without hesitation.The two security guards immediately showed a pitiful look and looked at Harvey with pleading eyes.“Young Master Connor, we were just following your orders...”“Yes, Young Master Connor, it's not our fault...”The two security guards said helplessly.Harvey’s face turned livid with anger and he shouted, “How dare you talk back? This is outrageous!”Just then, a calm voice
Harvey was excitedly speaking, but before he could finish, Sean politely declined.“That's not necessary, Mr. Connor. We'll sit in the auction hall.”Of course, Lisha would not argue with Sean's decision, and she also thought that sitting in the auction hall on the first floor would be more lively than in a private room.Although the private room had comfortable sofas and tea and snacks, how could Lisha, as the daughter of the mayor, care about such things?“Since Mr. Lennon has decided to sit in the auction hall on the first floor, let's just sit there. The private rooms on the second floor can be reserved for even more distinguished guests.” Upon hearing Lisha's words, Harvey's face was full of bitter smiles.Lisha was the daughter of the mayor, and Sean was the commander-in-chief of the city defense army of Dorodo, making them the two giants of Dorodo.There were simply no guests in Crosac who could match their status.In fact, only the mayor of Crosac, Claremento Crosac, c
Lisha indeed had a strong interest in the culture of Dragon Kingdom, but only in terms of food and cultural landscapes, which was why she frequently visited the mainland of Dragon Kingdom as a tourist.However, Sean had never heard her mention her interest in paintings before.Lisha shook her head with a smile and said, “I'm not interested. I just want to participate in the auction.”“Oh, I see.” Sean nodded slightly.“Ms. Fifty-five bids one million five hundred thousand. Is there anyone willing to bid higher?“One million five hundred thousand going once!“One million five hundred thousand going twice!”“One—”Before the female auctioneer on the stage could announce the sale, someone else made a bid from below.“I bid one million six hundred thousand!”With this shout, the auction hall became lively again.“I bid one million six hundred and fifty thousand!”“I bid one million six hundred and sixty thousand!”“I bid one million seven hundred thousand!”“Two million!”
“This is an auction, whoever has the money gets it. If you don't want others to compete with you, then let your money do the talking!”“I bid three million and five hundred thousand!”The chaotic scene in the hall was incredibly lively, just like a marketplace.It had to be said that the female auctioneer on the stage was really good at creating hype, and the auction items this time were also very impressive, easily attracting the attention of the guests present.“Three million and five hundred thousand going once!“Three million and five hundred thousand going twice!“Three million and five hundred thousand sol—”Just as the female auctioneer was about to drop the hammer, Lisha suddenly raised her No. 55 paddle and shouted, “I bid five million!”The entire audience in the auction hall turned their heads and looked at Lisha in unison.Bidding an additional 1.5 million at once was definitely surprising to them.Besides, Lisha’s voice sounded so young, which made them even more
‘Ms. Lisha is the eldest daughter of Claremento Crosac, the mayor!’‘Who’s the woman in that private room? She must have lost her mind to compete against Ms. Lisha!’‘Doesn’t she know that offending Ms. Lisha means she might not be able to stay in Crosac anymore?’These were what all the guests in the auction hall on the first floor were thinking.Lisha also seemed to be caught off guard as well. She had already revealed her identity and offered a high price, but there were still someone who dared to compete with her.This unexpected turn of events left her stunned for a moment before she came to her senses.“Someone is actually competing with you.”Sean said with a smile.Lisha was a little angry at first, but after hearing Sean’s words, her mood quickly calmed down.Yes, what could she do even if she’s the mayor’s, Claremento Crosac, daughter?The auction was an open and fair competition based on money, and using one's status to oppress others was too domineering and would
As soon as the words were spoken, Lisha lowered her veil.In the second-floor private room, Aria, who was sitting on a single sofa holding a glass of red wine with a smile on her face, suddenly froze.‘Lisha’s not going to bid anymore?‘She actually stopped bidding?‘How could she not bid?‘Did she not really need of buying this Seven Star Sword?‘D*mn it!’Aria did not even want to buy the Seven Star Sword in the first place, but because Lisha revealed her identity and she knew that Lisha was the buyer, she decided to compete with her.She wanted to drive up the price so that Lisha could not get the Seven Star Sword at a lower cost.Now, however, the price had indeed gone up, yet Lisha had stopped bidding, now the Seven Star Sword landed in Aria's hands at an exorbitant price of 20 million dollars.‘D*mn it, she fooled me!’Aria was furious, but now she could not change her mind.“Miss…”Even Lowich’s expression was also extremely bad.“Shut up!”Aria scolded angrily.
"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
