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
The yellow-haired leader gritted his teeth and bellowed, "Boys, together. There's no way we can't kill them when there are so many of us!"The yellow-haired leader took the lead by pouncing on Sean once he finished speaking.He swung his fist and slammed it into Sean's cheek like he was determined to knock Sean's nose out of place.When the other hooligans saw this, they all pounced on Sean.However, there was a ding at that moment.There were suddenly dazzling rays bursting around Sean's body, and intense malice exuded from it.Red blood flew into the air, and the hooligans around Sean fell to the ground, crying incessantly.Sean's sword was so quick.Forget about Shirley and Lisha. Even Timaeus, the old man skilled in Dragon Kingdom's martial arts, could not capture with naked eyes how Sean had struck his sword!"What sword technique is this? It's amazing!"Timaeus said in shock.Sean did not kill the hooligans. He only wounded them with his sword.In the blink of an eye,
Sean slowly moved his feet to walk away.Now that the truth was revealed, Lisha needed to be informed of the matter to see what she prepared to do.Just as Sean turned around, a young man with dyed green hair lying on the ground suddenly jumped up and stabbed at Sean in the back with a short sword!It was fast!The expressions of Lisha, Shirley, and Timaeus in the distance instantly changed when they saw this!No one expected such a vicious person to be hidden among common hooligans!The man had probably been hiding among the hooligans from the start, pretending to be a common thug. He also deliberately got injured and fell to the ground only to get Sean to lower his guard.As soon as Sean turned around, he attacked.It was almost impossible to dodge it!"Sean, watch out!""Young man, hurry and dodge!"Lisha shouted with Timaeus.Seeing the silver short sword about to stab Sean in the back, Sean suddenly pierced the assassin's body with a sword backhanded."Do you think I
"We can do nothing about it."Sean looked at the weeping Lisha and eventually nodded.Then Sean pulled Lisha and headed for the other side of food street with Timaeus and Shirley.They paid no attention to the hooligans on the floor and the battered Lowich spitting blood.Just outside the food street was the parking lot near Harvey Tower.Sean found the key fob on Lisha and got into her car, while Timaeus and Shirley sat in the back.Lisha was already asleep at this point.Sean started the car and asked, "Which way should I go, Mr. Hunt?""Let me see..."Timaeus could not tell the direction. As he spoke, he stuck his head out of the window to figure out which way to go by using his surroundings.Shirley pulled her grandfather back into the car and answered for him, "Turn left and go straight. Turn left again at the next intersection and keep going straight."Sean nodded and stepped on the gas.Afraid of waking up Lisha, Shirley lowered her voice and asked, "Sean, you're so
They finally reached the Hunt family house.Shirley helped Timaeus out of the car, knocked on the door, and waited for a while. Then the heavy double doors opened.Rubbing his sleepy eyes, the gatekeeper glanced at Shirley and Timaeus, and he was instantly shocked. He quickly called the Hunt family's servants to get them.Sean carried Lisha from the car in his arms until they reached the room Shirley had arranged."Are you sharing the room with Lisha tonight? Or do you want another room?"Shirley asked, leaning against the door frame."Another room."Sean said with a straight face.Shirley chuckled weirdly and led Sean to the room next door. Then she pulled out a bottle of red wine and said to Sean, "The night is still young. Why don't we have a drink and chat?""I'm not interested in that."Sean said and pushed Shirley out of the room.Sean had witnessed how bold and shameless the woman was.It would be a waste of breath to persuade her to leave, so Sean kicked her out wit
"I'm sorry I disturbed you."Sean said with a chuckle.Lisha shook her head, pulled herself together, and said, "No, I should wake up now. I had an early night after all... Shall we go back after breakfast?""Yeah."Sean nodded.Lisha referred to the mayor's residence, of course.They were at the Hunt family house. Sean and Lisha stayed here as guests. It was all right to stay for one night. Staying here long-term was inappropriate.Besides, Lisha was also the mayor's eldest daughter. Mayor Claremento would be worried if she stayed.Shirley happened to shout from a distance."Commander Lennon, Lisha, come and have breakfast!"Shirley kept looking for opportunities to talk to Sean at breakfast.Sean ignored her, but the woman was shameless. Undeterred, she kept looking for every opportunity to approach Sean.Lisha gnawed at her spoon and giggled."Shirley, not only won't you get men in that way, but you'll also scare them away."Hearing Lisha's remark, Shirley immediately
Then Claremento came over.Today, Claremento did not wear a suit or battle armor but only casual plain clothes. Even so, he still exuded intense authority.When he reached the front of the two, he glanced expressionlessly at Sean before looking at Lisha."Lisha, why didn't you come back last night? Did you know I sent 500 men looking for you last night?"Lisha bowed slightly before explaining. "Dad, Sean and I went to the auction at Harvey Tower last night. We planned to come back after the auction but were attacked by a bunch of hooligans.""Attack?"Fury crossed Claremento's face.He was the mayor of Crosac, and Lisha was his daughter. How dare mere hooligans attack Lisha?They had the nerve!"And then what?"Though furious, Claremento did not immediately issue any order but continued asking.Without hesitation, Lisha immediately said, "The head of the Hunt family—Grandpa Timaeus and Shirley ran into us and helped us fend off the hooligans. But Grandpa Timaeus was not we
