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,
"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
