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,
The diplomatic convoy headed toward Dorodo.They took the main road this time, thinking there would be no ambush with soldiers chasing like the last time. Therefore, the diplomatic convoy started their journey without haste or worry.Moreover, the diplomatic convoy returned to Dorodo with the same amount of people who went to Crosac.It also filled Uriah with admiration for Sean.After all, Uriah did not think Sean and Zander would survive the ambush, nor would any of the city defense soldiers and personal guards following them.However, the truth was that they were all here and alive."No one's going to ambush us this time, right?"Shania asked, sticking her head out of the car window."No."Sean said affirmatively."Why?"Shania asked curiously.Sean did not answer, but Dorodo's army of 1,500 men was heading for Dorodo on the other end. If there was an ambush, it was either the enemy ambushing the diplomatic convoy, or the diplomatic convoy ambushing the enemy.It was wh
Lowich was dead.The Seven Star Sword that Lowich was holding also broke in half.The 20-million-dollar sword was like a piece of tofu before the Guardian Sword."Bury him."Sean ordered."Yes!"Several city defense soldiers dismounted their horses and quickly buried Lowich in a hole in the ground, using the wilderness survival tools they had brought.Without a tombstone nor marker, no one would know that the bodyguard of the mayor of Crosac's second daughter was buried here.Lowich was destined to be forgotten for his stupidity.About half an hour was wasted after this little episode.However, that was about it. The diplomatic convoy was back in Dorodo before dark.Their return was greeted with fanfare. The reception for the diplomatic convoy lasted until midnight.Besides, the entire Dorodo celebrated it. It took several days for the holiday-like atmosphere to dissipate.At the same time, all the information contained in the third ancient bronze sword fragment was reveal
'The more you buy, the cheaper each one would be?'Sean was amused before walking over to the old man, who was clearly from Dragon Kingdom. He pulled out a five Dollar Dragon Dollar bill and said, "Give me two sticks.""Alright!"The old man took the money, quickly took down two sticks of cotton candy, and handed them to Sean.Sean ate the cotton candy while walking in the street. The short leisure time made him feel relaxed.The light was green.There was no one else crossing the street except Sean.As soon as Sean walked to the middle of the road, a luxury Bentley suddenly sped up. Although it stopped sharply at the zebra crossing, it was too late.The average person would probably get hit by the car.However, was Sean the average person?Seeing the luxury Bentley about to crash into him, Sean suddenly dodged it with a backflip.However, the front of the car brushed him a little.Looking at the back of his hand, Sean shook his head.Focused on eating his cotton candy, he
