"What's the point of you lashing out at us?"Elijah spread out his hands in a gesture of frustration.Dylan coughed and continued saying, "Whatever Sean does, at least we can't disagree openly. After all, he's the commander-in-chief of the city defense army. He is way above us in rank and status. And he has Dragon Kingdom's military supporting him. How are we going to fight him? We only have to be uncooperative, passive, and unhelpful. Poverty is a chronic problem. Even if he wants to solve it, he can't."After a pause, Dylan said, "Every city in the City-State Union is the same. Is there a city that doesn't have poor people? If Sean can fix poverty, I'll write my name backward!""You're being dramatic, Old Lambert."Elijah was as cordial as ever.Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door.Elijah looked at the door and said, "Come in."With that said, a young man pushed the door open and entered.The young man was Elijah's son, Lionel Walker.Lionel walked in and placed
Elijah said with a chuckle, "We'll donate then. Why not? I can afford a donation... Be generous and give him 100 dollars."'100 dollars?'Elijah, Cole, and Dylan were members of Dorodo's noble families.The top three families had tens of billions of dollars in assets each but donated only 100 dollars. It was obviously ironic!"That's a good idea! Haha, I love it! I can't wait to see the expression on Sean's face when he finds out all three of us only donated 100 dollars."Cole burst out laughing with a look of satisfaction on his face.Dylan also smirked.Elijah turned to look at his son Lionel and said, "Did you hear that? You're going to the fundraising gala with Uncle Cole and Uncle Dylan's son, and you only need to donate 100 dollars.""I got it, Dad!"Lionel nodded vigorously, a smug look on his face.......Two days passed quickly.As night drew closer, lights lit up in front of Dorodo's city defense army's main camp.The lights were not neon, nor were they especia
Quentin kept waving his hands."It's standard protocol."Sean said flatly.In any case, Sean would ask Zander to sort out the money raised, the exact amount, and how it would be spent, and send the details to the mayor's residence for Quentin to have a look.After all, Quentin was the mayor. Sean had overstepped by taking over the slum's issue, so he had to be careful with the donations and not leave any problems behind.It was for his own good as well as for Quentin and the others.Blushing slightly, Shania looked at Sean excitedly and said, "Commander Lennon, I already knew you would address the slum issue, but I never expected you to be so quick and do so much. Do you know what Dorodo's poor call you now?"Sean shook his head slightly."They call you Taquila and say you are the savior of the poor!" Shania said excitedly.Sean broke into laughter. He shook his head and said, "You're being dramatic. It's the least I could do."Sean's attitude surprised both Quentin and Shani
Quentin lowered his voice and explained. "Commander Lennon, you may not know this, but Lionel is the son of Elijah Walker, the patriarch of the Walker family; Solomon is the son of Cole Stewart, the patriarch of the Stewart family; while Nathan is the son of Dylan Lambert, the patriarch of the Lambert family. The three of them are the heirs of important families."After a pause, Quentin continued saying, "Dorodo's top five families are the Wosh family, the Montana family, the Walker family, the Stewart family, and the Lambert family. Lionel teamed up with Solomon and Nathan. The three families have probably formed an alliance."Besides that, they were an alliance against Sean.Quentin did not tell him that, of course. It was because he knew Sean could realize it even if he did not tell him."An alliance... Haha, Mayor Lewis. With the top five families around, it seems your job as mayor isn't easy."Sean said with a smile.Quentin instantly nodded with a bitter smile and said, "Th
The city defense soldiers immediately stood at attention and saluted when they saw Sean.Lionel, Solomon, and Nathan also lowered their heads slightly.Although arrogant and haughty, they dared not behave haughtily in front of Sean."What's going on here?"Sean already knew what had happened, but he asked anyway.The city defense soldiers immediately reported loudly, "Commander-in-chief, these three young gentlemen aren't holding their own invitations. It's their father's. Also, they brought too many bodyguards, which doesn't meet the requirements stated on our invitation. So I stopped them, but they unexpectedly refused to leave and are still causing trouble here!"Hearing this, Lionel hurried up to Sean, forced a smile, and said, "Commander Lennon, your men are too incompetent. The rules are dead, but people aren't! It's true that my father and Young Master Lambert's father couldn't attend your gala as they have something to do. That's why our fathers asked us to come to make a
Everyone was shocked to see the mayor of Dorodo, Quentin, attending tonight's fundraising gala without any bodyguards but only his daughter, just like Sean said.After all, Quentin was the head of the city. He always had more than one bodyguard with him wherever he went!However, because Sean was the host of the gala and the invitation stated that he was allowed to bring only one guest, Quentin brought no bodyguards and only his daughter Shania. His action spoke louder than any words!Shania blushed and held her father's arm tightly.Quentin only raised his hand and coughed before leading his daughter forward and saying to all the guests, "Commander Lennon's right. The city defense army's main camp is Dorodo's military stronghold. It's not supposed to let too many outsiders in. That's why the invitation restricted the number of guests. As mayor, I must take the lead in respecting Commander Lennon's decision. After all, it's for the sake of Dorodo's safety."Once Quentin spoke, all
Lionel's bodyguards immediately reached to their waists or inside their clothes, ready to take out their weapons to resist.Sean warned coldly, "I advise you to surrender. If you dare to resist, I will kill you on the spot!"Hearing this, the bodyguards around Lionel and the others turned pale.They were not only not rich heirs but only regular bodyguards. The three influential families—the Walker family, the Stewart family, and the Lambert family might have Lionel, Solomon, and Nathan's backs, but they would never back them up.Therefore, the bodyguards immediately dropped their weapons and crouched down with their hands on their heads."Stand up! Who told you to surrender? Stand up!"Lionel shouted as he was furious.However, his handsome face was immediately elbowed as soon as he spoke!The city defense soldiers, who Lionel had been scolding for a long time, knocked him to the ground with his elbow. Then he pulled out bright silver handcuffs, pulled his arms back, and cuffed
It was because you could tell how classy it was by looking at the guests attending the gala.Standing at the gala venue were all Dorodo's bigwigs—either famous businessmen or heads of prominent families.The one with the highest status was Mayor Quentin and his daughter, Shania.With these two and so many rich and famous people in attendance, how could the gala not be classy?The classiness of a gala was never measured by the quality of the food or wine but by the identity of the gala's guests!Was there any banquet or ball in Dorodo that was classier than the gala tonight, which was attended by all members of Dorodo's high society? You could say that everyone famous in Dorodo was here.The big shots from the Wosh family and the Montana family were here too.The head of the Wosh family—Benedict, and his daughter Miriam attended.There was only one person from the Montana family, and it was Monica herself, who was invited.Benedict and his daughter Miriam went up to Sean with M
"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
