“Ms. Lisha, Commander Lennon, are you satisfied with today’s auction?”Harvey walked over with a smile on his face and asked.Sean nodded and said, “Yes, we're very satisfied. It was excellent.”Hearing this, Harvey breathed a sigh of relief.During today's auction, someone intentionally caused trouble and competed with Sean.As the organizer of the auction, Harvey could not interfere under the rules, so Sean had to handle it on his own.Fortunately, Sean was wealthy enough to successfully bid on the third fragment of the ancient bronze sword. Otherwise, the fragment would have fallen into someone else's hands.Lisha also smiled and said, “Everything at your auction was excellent. We can see that you’ve got a wide range of connections. If you’ve another auction like this in the future, please contact me. I'll be your frequent customer.”“It would be my honor!”Harvey exclaimed excitedly.Lisha frequently attended Harvey's auctions, not just to purchase items, but also to prom
Sean followed Lisha and walked towards the bustling street.However, Lisha did not take Sean to a fancy restaurant, but instead brought him to a street filled with food stalls.Due to the late hour, there were not many people on the street, but the food stalls on both sides of the street were still open for business.“There’re many street foods here that are unique to Crosac’s culture. You must have never tasted them before!”Lisha confidently said.Sean nodded with a smile. He was not particularly interested in food, even the delicacies of Dragon Kingdom did not appeal to him, let alone the cuisine of the City-State Union.“Let's go, I'll take you to a food stall where the barbecue is really, really delicious!”After finishing speaking, Lisha pulled Sean's arm and headed towards the end of the food street.“What kind of barbecue are you talking about?”Sean asked, feeling slightly curious.‘Lisha, as the eldest daughter of the mayor in Crosac, Claremento Crosac, had grown up
Looking at the six neatly arranged bullfrogs on the table, Sean's eyelids began to twitch.“How’s it?”Lisha asked with a smile.“It's... quite impressive.”Sean struggled to find the right words, hesitating for a moment before finally speaking.“Quick! Try it!”Lisha pushed one barbequed bullfrog toward Sean.There was nothing else for Sean to say. He could only reluctantly pick up the barbequed bullfrog and take a bite.Sean thought the bullfrog must be very unpleasant to taste.However, the barbequed bullfrog in his mouth tasted amazing, with a particularly delicious flavor.The unexpectedly great taste surprised Sean, as the taste was vastly different from the appearance, leaving him feeling caught off guard.It seemed that bullfrogs were similar to stinky tofu.Stinky tofu smelled bad but tasted good.As for barbequed bullfrogs, they looked disgusting but were delicious to eat.Of course, people who often ate bullfrogs would not find them unappetizing. This was just
Sean nodded and lifted his wine glass to take a big sip again.“You can hold your liquor, young man! But don't get too drunk, or your girlfriend will be very disappointed.”The food stall owner said with a very knowing smile.In his eyes, Sean's decision to bring his “girlfriend” out for a meal so late at night meant they would not be going home and would instead be spending the night at a hotel.If he were to get drunk, this beautiful young lady would certainly be disappointed or even angry.This misunderstanding made Lisha's cheeks turn red, and Sean himself blushed slightly. However, he was not embarrassed but a little bit tipsy from the strong liquor.This liquor was at least 50-proof or more!“What a strong stuff!”Sean put down his glass and said, “Uncle, give me another glass.”“No problem, I'll make sure you enjoy it.”The food stall owner said as he poured another full glass of fruit liquor for Sean.Lisha was delighted to see Sean's flushed face, feeling that her t
“What’s wrong?”Sean asked.When Sean asked, he knew that Lisha must have recognized the old man and the stunning woman sitting next to the old man with a contemptuous look on her face.Otherwise, Lisha would not have lowered her veil to cover her face.As expected, Lisha immediately whispered, “These two are from the Hunt family. The old man is the head of the family, Timaeus Hunt, and the woman sitting next to him is his granddaughter, Shirley Hunt. The Hunt family is also a big family of Dragon Kingdom descent in Crosac.”Upon hearing this, Sean immediately understood.Lisha continued, “Timaeus has a good relationship with my father and often comes to the mayor’s residence to have tea and chat with him. I don't want to be recognized by him. If he sees us together, he’ll definitely misunderstand.”“You’re right.”Sean nodded in agreement.Suddenly, Lisha remembered something and laughed, “By the way, Timaeus is a martial arts enthusiast. He often tells me how powerful Dragon
No matter which city, there would always be these thugs and despicable individuals, and this was no exception even in a place like Crosac.However, what surprised Sean was that this group of hooligans seemed to be coming toward him and Lisha.When they arrived in front of them, the hooligans surrounded Sean and Lisha.“Are you two Sean Lennon and Lisha Crosac?”The leader, a young man with yellow hair, asked while pulling out a switchblade about ten centimeters long from his waist.Upon hearing the name Lisha Crosac, Timaeus, who was eating beside them, widened his eyes in surprise, and Shirley also had a sudden realization on her face.Sean frowned and said, “We're not, you’ve got the wrong people.” “Not? Hehe. We've been following you from near the Harvey Tower until here. Do you dare say you're not?”The yellow-haired leader sneered. He pressed the button on the handle of his switchblade, and the shiny ten-centimeter blade sprang out.“Don't blame us for being heartless. S
At this moment, Shirley had already run up to Lisha and lifted the veil covering her face.Looking at the familiar face, Shirley said angrily and amusedly, “It's really you! I just felt you were familiar... Lisha, why did you run out of the mayor’s residence so late at night? Don't you know it's dangerous outside?!”“I just came to attend an auction with my friend. I didn't expect it to end so late, and I was a little hungry, so I...”Lisha explained with a bitter smile.Shirley glanced at Sean, who was beside Lisha, and asked, “Is he your boyfriend? What kind of taste do you have to choose such a man? You’re Uncle Claremento’s daughter, maybe even the future mayoress. How can you be so casual in choosing a partner?”“You’ve misunderstood. He really is just my friend, not my boyfriend.”Lisha said helplessly.As she spoke, Lisha looked worriedly at Sean, afraid that Shirley's words would anger him.Fortunately, Sean did not get angry. He was now focused on watching Timaeus figh
Shirley fumed.Lisha was also slightly afraid but was instantly reassured after glancing at Sean, who was next to her.The two brawny men had already rushed up with steel pipes."It's too late for you to run!""We're only doing our jobs. Don't blame us, punk!"As soon as the two brawny men said this, they swung the shiny steel pipes onto Sean's forehead.However, a dark shadow flickered in front of Sean, and the two brawny men flew backward together. They flew for several meters before landing with a thump.Before they had risen from the ground, bright red blood spilled from the corners of the two brawny men's mouths."Doing your jobs? Who do you think you are?"Sean said bluntly.The surroundings fell silent instantly.The gang of thugs fighting not far away stopped and looked over blankly.Timaeus stopped and stepped back, looking in shock.Shirley was shocked the most!Shirley was taunting Sean earlier, saying that he could not protect women.However, she was proven o
"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
