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
Sean could smell the wisps of fragrance from her.It was the midnight flower perfume that Sean and Lisha chose from Mr. Royce's perfume store in Crosac."Is this midnight flower perfume?"Sean asked casually.The woman instantly looked surprised after hearing Sean's question.She looked Sean up and down and asked, "How did you know I wear midnight flower perfume?""A friend of mine uses it a lot."Sean replied."I see..."The lady woman nodded slowly, looking at Sean with a more confused expression.The driver in the front seat said dismissively, "Madam, don't listen to his brags. The midnight flower perfume is a Crosac specialty. A small bottle of midnight flower perfume costs thousands of dollars in Dorodo if not tens of thousands. No ordinary people can afford it. This fellow must be bragging to please you!"The beautiful woman chuckled at the driver's words but said nothing more.Sean did not explain either.However, the woman seemed curious about him and asked, "What
The driver also got out of the car.Such fancy parties would arrange a place for the guests' drivers to rest.The three went to the door. A young girl wearing a gorgeous dress ran out of the door before jumping into the arms of the beautiful woman."Aunt Layla, you finally came. I've been waiting for you.""Miriam, you're getting increasingly beautiful that I hardly recognize you."The beautiful woman called Aunt Layla smiled tenderly and touched the young girl's head.Needless to say, the young girl was the star of today's ball, Miriam Wosh.Miriam knew Aunt Layla's driver, so she did not pause when she glanced at him. However, she was confused when she looked at Sean, a man she had never seen near Aunt Layla."Aunt Layla is this... Could he be your dance partner?"Miriam asked with a smile.The beautiful woman shook her head and explained. "He's a man I met on the road. My car accidentally hit him, so I brought him here. When the ball is over, ask your father to examine him
Then the group of drivers passed the time smoking and chatting.Suddenly the lounge door opened, and a waiter in a vest came in pushing a dining cart.There were a lot of desserts and drinks like coffee and tea on the dining cart.After placing all the food on the small coffee table in the middle of the lounge, the waiter smiled and said, "Enjoy, everybody."Then the waiter pushed the dining cart and left.As soon as the waiter left, the drivers dived on the desserts."Here, try this. It contains alcohol!""Are you kidding? We have to drive later!""This is delicious! It's so delicious. I've never tasted anything so delicious before!""It seems to be a Raphael City specialty. I saw it on TV before.""The Wosh family's ball is so grand. They even bought desserts from other cities!""Try this coffee. This coffee is good too."The drivers enjoyed themselves with the food while Sean sat quietly on a couch nearby, waiting for time to pass.The driver with a face full of stubble
Miriam laughed and said, "Aunt Montana, are you still angry with my father?""It's been years. I don't want to bother with being mad at him."Though Monica Montana said that, she looked away from Benedict.Just then, a surprise guest arrived.It was Mayor Quentin's daughter, Shania.She was not alone. She was accompanied by her personal bodyguard—Uriah.Shania was dressed to the nines. She was wearing a sky-blue dress with crystal-clear heels that seemed to be made out of blue glass. The accessory on her head glimmered in the light, making her look like a princess.Shania's arrival stole the star of the ball—Miriam's spotlight. Everyone's attention was focused on Shania."It's the mayor's daughter!""I didn't expect Ms. Shania to attend Ms. Miriam's birthday ball. Is Ms. Miriam close to Ms. Lewis?""I heard Dr. Wosh healed Ms. Lewis's bodyguard, so Ms. Lewis is honoring Dr. Wosh by attending his daughter's birthday ball today.""I see! No wonder!"The guests started talking
"Hello, I'm lost. May I ask..."Sean stopped a waitress and asked, but before she could finish speaking, the waitress said with a smile, "It's alright, Sir. Please follow me."Then the waitress led Sean to the ballroom.Sean was a little confused.He did not want to come to the ballroom. He wanted to return to the lounge.He did not like balls in the first place, and he also rejected the ball today. His arrival at the ballroom could be described as a strange combination of circumstances.Just then, a girl came menacingly toward him.The girl was none other than Miriam, the star of today's birthday ball.Miriam had already greeted Shania but could not get along with her. After all, their statuses were far too different.Besides, the guests of the birthday ball were all drawn to Shania. The star of the ball—Miriam was ignored, and it upset Miriam.Her anger instantly erupted when she saw the man Aunt Montana had bumped into on her ball.She stormed up to Sean and snapped, "Why
'Commander Lennon?'Which Commander Lennon?'The guests were dumbfounded, including Monica and the bodyguards who came here looking for Sean.Everyone was staring at Sean and Shania, unsure of what was going on.Shania had run up to Sean and pushed Miriam aside.Not only Shania but Uriah also trotted over.Uriah was also dressed to the nines. He wore a crisp black uniform adorned with a medal of honor from Mayor Quentin. It had no function but decorative.Uriah wearing the medal stood out in the crowd, so he followed Shania to Sean, attracting countless women's attention."Commander Lennon, why didn't you tell me you were attending Ms. Wosh's ball? I would have looked for you if I had known you were coming."Shania said joyfully."I didn't plan to come. It was an accident."Sean said a little glumly."Accident?"Shania was confused."Yeah, how could I be interested in attending such a ball? I was only walking down the street but accidentally got hit by a car. The car owne
