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
The personal guards of the mayor's residence surrounded the room where Sean was.It had been that way since Lisha and Aria's fight broke out, and Aria bit back.Sean was under house arrest. He had no freedom and could not leave at will.He was followed by the personal guards of the mayor's residence even when going to the bathroom.However, it did not bother Sean.He was prepared. Even if the worst happened, he had a way of leaving Crosac and safely returning to Dorodo with Zander and Shania, so Sean was not worried.Sean was playing chess with Zander in the room.Sean often played chess with Zander. However, considering recent events, it had been a long time since they had casually played chess for fun."You're getting better, Zander."Sean said with a chuckle.Zander's chess skills had indeed improved, and it was unknown if he had practiced in private.Zander also said to Sean, "Commander, you're much better than before too.""Haha."Sean nodded.Just then, there was su
Aria instantly smiled smugly at Rapido's words.Rapido had been Lisha's loyal suitor for several years, but Lisha had always been dismissive of Rapido.As a result, Rapido could not help but resent Lisha.Moreover, Sean had also humiliated Rapido in front of Lisha at the antique market, which was why Rapido's feelings for Lisha turned from love to hatred.In this case, Aria only had to seduce him a little, and he took the bait.Then Rapido defected to Aria, helping her give false testimony that Lisha had Sean assassinate Lowich and Aria.Rapido swore at the time that Aria had not given him anything and that he had not benefited from Aria.He was telling the truth.However, he got Aria. That was what he got from doing that."Didn't you used to like Lisha?"Aria asked triumphantly.Rapido chuckled and said darkly, "Yes, I used to like Lisha, but what can I do when she doesn't like me? Besides, Lisha is hungry for that man from Dragon Kingdom. What can I do? If I can't get her,
