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
Aria regretted it slightly after hearing Sean's words.It was because Sean was telling the truth.When they first met at Dorodo's downtown mall, Sean could say he had no animosity with Aria. They had never met before.However, just because she wanted to steal the show from Shania, Aria ordered Lowich to attack and teach Sean a lesson, which resulted in Sean beating Lowich with one move and humiliating her.As a result, the two had bad blood with each other.No matter what, it was only a small matter and a dispute caused by personal feelings.Moreover, Aria learned Sean's identity later and that he was not a mere bodyguard but the commander-in-chief of Dorodo's city defense army. He's one of Dorodo's two leaders.Even so, Aria did not care about Sean. She even was indifferent to him.Then at Mr. Royce's perfume store in Crosac, Aria forced Lowich to fight Sean to overpower Lisha.This time, Lowich was prepared. He gave his best.Unfortunately, Lowich was still no match for Sea
She did not think Sean would say no.It was because Sean came to Crosac with the diplomatic convoy to talk, communicate, and make a connection between the two cities so that Dorodo and Crosac would thrive in peace.There was no way he would resist when she offered him such a benefit!Unexpectedly, Sean slowly shook his head."Are you rejecting me? Think it through. You only get one chance at such generous terms!"Aria snapped, pounding the table.She was livid now.As the second heiress of Crosac, she was looked after and fawned upon wherever she went. No one dared to upset her.However, the man before her humiliated her repeatedly. Besides, she had stooped to cozy up to him, yet he still rejected her and was so ungrateful.How dare he!Aria felt her anger raging inside her.Sean slowly replied, "Your offer is excellent, but I can't believe it. You're too emotional, impulsive, arrogant, proud, vain, and callous. I can't cooperate with someone like you. I trust Ms. Lisha more
The captain of the personal guards was on Lisha's side. Otherwise, he would not have dared to ask such a question."Do you disagree with my decision?"Claremento asked coldly."No!"The captain of the personal guards quickly lowered his head to answer and dropped to one knee.Claremento waved his hand to signal the captain of the personal guards to stand up and slowly said, "Aria and Lisha are both my daughters. I value both equally. I won't blindly trust any of them until we figure this out. But I won't randomly suspect them either.""Well..."The captain of the personal guards stood up and looked at Claremento in confusion."This case is complicated. We have witnesses, but they may have been bribed, so we can't believe them. Besides witnesses, there is no other evidence. We can't continue the investigation if we don't get a breakthrough.""Therefore, either Lisha or Aria must be released to walk outside to think they have been trusted, cleared their name, and won this fight.
"Lisha, I'm sad to see you locked up—unable to go anywhere and even see the people you want to see!"Do you know I've gone to see Sean, the commander-in-chief of Dorodo's city defense army? He's very hospitable. He not only made tea for me but also said he would be my bodyguard in the future. He was so eager that I was embarrassed to refuse. But he's from Dorodo after all. He can't remain in Crosac forever, so I rejected him. Lisha, are you upset? Do you want to cry?"Cry if you want. I won't laugh at you... No, I might laugh at you a bit and save your face."With that said, Aria snickered, utterly smug.However, Lisha remained unfazed as if she had not heard Aria's words.After a long time, Lisha finally said flatly, "Doesn't it feel good to boast?"Lisha would not believe Aria had met Sean.Lisha knew what Sean was like.Sean was straightforward to all women as if they owed him five million dollars. The impressive statement—"Women only affect how fast I can draw my sword." wa
