What was a drama queen?Was this what you call a drama queen?What was acting?This was acting!If Claremento's second daughter, Ms. Aria got into show business and worked on a movie or TV show, other actors would be out of jobs.All the film awards in history would probably be hers!Aria gripped Lowich's blood-stained hand while looking at him tenderly, her lips quivering with overwhelming grief."Lowich, you can't die. You've worked for me all these years. You've protected me and taken care of me. How can you die? I don't want you to die. You must survive. Who's going to protect me if you die..."Aria burst into tears as she cradled Lowich in her arms. Tears rolled down her face like beads."Miss... Miss... It's my pleasure... to die for you... Cough..."Before Lowich could finish his sentence, he started coughing in pain. Streams of bright red blood spilled from the corners of his mouth, staining Aria's expensive dress.However, it did not bother Aria as she continued hol
She was shocked as soon as she got into the office. Then she asked, "What's going on..."Before Lisha finished speaking, Aria glared at her with her red and puffy eyes and started cursing, "Lisha! You're my sister. How can you kill me? How can you be so cruel? Why did you ask Sean to assassinate me? If Lowich hadn't taken the sword strike for me, I would have been a cold corpse!"Lisha's head buzzed, and she was dumbfounded for a long time.'I asked Sean to assassinate Aria?'Is this a joke?'Aria's the one who asked Lowich to kill me!'"Nonsense!"Lisha yelled as her beautiful eyes began to redden.Aria sneered repeatedly with a disappointed expression on her face. "Lisha, my good sister, You still refuse to admit it when things have come to this. Lisha, tell me the truth. Did you make such a ridiculous decision because that man called Sean Lennon deluded and tricked you? Is that why?""That's slander!"Lisha finally came to her senses.She quickly looked at her father, Cla
Hearing that, Claremento's eyes finally lit up.Lisha was indeed the older daughter. At least, she was a little more sensible than Aria. She was aware that she could not be impulsive and reckless.However, it was based on the fact that she was telling the truth.As Claremento thought about it, Aria screamed, "Lisha, you're making things up! You're lying! You're guilty, so you were scared to speak!""I'm not guilty! I'm not the one who did something bad. Why should I feel guilty?"Lisha said immediately."Do you have proof? Do you have proof that I told Lowich to kill you and Sean?"Aria asked immediately.After thinking about it, Lisha said, "The area where the hooligans gave us trouble last night is right at the end of the food street. It should have surveillance monitors. Besides, Grandpa Timaeus and Shirley are my and Sean's witnesses."Aria scoffed upon hearing Lisha's remark."Do you think I haven't looked for surveillance footage of that area? Lisha, the surveillance ca
Lisha was already trembling with anger, her eyes filled with tears.Rapido perjured himself for her sister, Aria!The fat b*stard had gone too far!She had thought the fat b*stard was a good man, even though he was fat and ugly!Aria slowly got up, pointed to Lisha, and yelled, "Listen! Listen! Even Master Rapido, who has always admired you as the woman of his dreams, has testified on my behalf! What do you have to say now? Rapido has always admired you. I can't bribe him, can I?""You bribed him!"Lisha shouted, his voice thick with tears.Rapido immediately raised his right hand and said with great force, "I swear I received nothing from Ms. Lisha! She hasn't given me a penny or anything!"Then Rapido pointed at Sean and said, "Uncle, Sean stabbed Lowich with the Guardian Sword. If you don't believe me, let him compare the Guardian Sword to the wound and see if the Guardian Sword matches the wound!"Claremento then turned to look at Sean.Sean said flatly, "You don't need t
Sean was telling the truth.Even without the Guardian Sword and he had to fight an armed Lowich empty-handed, Lowich was no match for him. Let alone the gang of hooligans.Sean was strong enough to kill all of them in minutes!Besides, Sean had the Guardian Sword in his hand.Therefore, Sean was already modest when he said he could kill Lowich and Aria in 10 seconds.Even so, it terrified Claremento.Claremento only knew Sean was tough, but he had not seen what Sean was capable of doing with his own eyes. The strength Sean showed was far beyond the range of ordinary people and even what ordinary people could understand.With such power, Sean could kill Lowich and Aria, and there was probably no one who could stop him.Claremento even felt that even if the mayor's residence had hundreds of personal guards, Sean was strong enough to kill Lowich and Aria and walk away.Sean might not be able to kill all the personal guards in the mayor's residence, but there was no way they could
Sean was now back in his room.Shania and Uriah also came over.Zander was here, of course.Upon entering the room, Shania and Uriah came up to Sean together while Zander was calm and did not ask questions right away.Looking at the confusion on Shania and Uriah's faces, Sean said, "Ms. Lisha and I were attacked by Aria and her bodyguard Lowich last night. I protected Ms. Lisha and injured Lowich. Unexpectedly, Aria bit us back in front of Mayor Claremento, saying Ms. Lisha ordered me to assassinate her and Lowich. That's how things got to this point."Shania and Uriah immediately understood what was going on when hearing what Sean had said.The question was who Mayor Claremento chose to believe."Can't you prove your innocence?"Shania asked in resignation.She had packed up her things but was told she could not leave the mayor's residence, and that could not help making her feel disappointed.Sean shook his head slightly and said, "There's more than a simple assassination.
Once Shania and Uriah left, Sean asked Zander to contact Dorodo.If they were in ancient times, Sean and his gang would be stuck with no way to contact their men.However, with the convenience of communication tools such as satellite phones in modern times, many things could be carried out smoothly, and many arrangements could be prepared in advance as long as there was no interference.Receiving Sean's message, Dorodo went into overdrive.Dorodo was placed on high alert. Though the city gates were not closed, the people entering and leaving were carefully checked to prevent spies from other city-states.At the same time, Mayor Quentin had contacted closely with the two chiliarchs—Gregory and Anthony.After a brief meeting, Quentin and the chiliarch—Anthony continued to stay in Dorodo in case something went wrong.With a legion of 1,500 city defense soldiers, Gregory headed toward Crosac.If things turned out to be the worst, Dorodo would go to war with Crosac as fast as possib
"It's me. Is your boss there?"Aria asked haughtily.Sean had already heard Aria's voice. Without Zander telling him, he walked over and let Aria into the room.Although he and Aria were enemies, there was no need to be hostile to each other whenever they met.Only the weak could not control their emotions. Genuine wise people and masters never revealed their expressions."Zander, pour Ms. Aria a cup of coffee."Sean said quietly.Zander did not hesitate. He replied in acknowledgment and turned around to make Aria some coffee.Aria observed Sean's room and the chess board on the table before she smiled."Commander Lennon, you're enjoying yourself. You're under house arrest but in the mood to play chess with your subordinate. Is this considered finding pleasure in misery?""Misery?"Sean shook his head and said calmly, "How is this misery? I have food to eat, water to drink, clothes to wear, no need to suffer from the cold, and I don't need to worry about the danger that migh
