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
These three middle-aged men were none other than the patriarch of the Walker family, Elijah, the patriarch of the Stewart family, Cole, and the patriarch of the Lambert family, Dylan.The heads of the three influential families claimed they had something to do, so they sent their sons to the gala with the invitations to deliberately make trouble.However, they got the news about Lionel, Solomon, and Nathan's arrest and hurriedly rushed over. After all, Lionel, Solomon, and Nathan were their flesh and blood, and they could not watch their sons go to jail and even be branded spies for other cities."Sorry, sorry, Commander Lennon. We're late."Elijah walked in and said to Sean with a smile."I'm really sorry. I had something to do today, so I had my son attend the fundraising gala. I just managed to find time now," Cole said.Dylan said nothing and was looking haughtily at Sean.Sean's expression remained unfazed, and he still smiled faintly."Now that you're here, sit down."He
Elijah, Cole, and Dylan were furious to hear Sean's words.'We're heads of the top three families in Dorodo. So what if we were late? Being late for such little time was nothing.'We gave you a lot of face by attending your fundraising gala!'However, the rest of the guests thought otherwise. Sean's remark woke them up.'Yes, we're all human beings. Why should we arrive early for the gala and waste time waiting for you three who were late?'Since you're late, you should stand!'This is the punishment you deserve. It's the result of your own choice!'The guests looked at Elijah, Cole, and Dylan, and some of them gloated.Quentin suddenly got up to represent all the fundraising gala guests sitting in their chairs and told Elijah, Cole, and Dylan, "Mr. Walker, Mr. Stewart, Mr. Lambert, you guys are late no matter what. In that case, why don't you just stand? It's not a big deal anyway. Commander Lennon also said the gala won't take long. It will be over soon.""Yes, yes, Elijah.
Cole spoke in an aggressive tone.Sean shook his head slightly and said slowly, "No, it's not a misunderstanding. The invitation I sent made it very clear that only the person I invited is allowed to attend the gala. And only one guest is allowed with them. You three don't have to attend if you can't. I won't force you! Tonight's charity fundraising gala is a consensual event and doesn't involve any coercion."Sean momentarily paused at this.Then his expression instantly turned solemn as his tone became stern."But what about you? Nothing will happen if you don't come. But you have broken the gala's rules by having your sons attend with your invitations. Besides, your sons not only came, but they also brought a large group of bodyguards with them. They caused a commotion in front of the city defense army's main camp entrance and even deliberately caused trouble. Tell me if I should put them in jail."Sean's words left Elijah, Cole, and Dylan speechless!After a moment, Cole brac
"Since you have no other opinions, the fundraising gala starts now."Sean said firmly.Elijah, Cole, and Dylan were furious.However, even if they were angry, they dared not show it, much less lose their temper on the spot.After all, they had become the target of criticism. If they did anything irrational, Sean would go after them!The fundraising gala began.The first performance was a chorus by 20 city defense soldiers.Sean had ordered the selection of about 100 city defense soldiers who could sing or dance for the gala tonight. He turned their training time into rehearsing time.It was time for them to show Sean and everyone else what they had been practicing.However, city defense soldiers were neither professional actors nor professional singers. The songs they sang were grand but not very neat.However, the audience watched attentively and enjoyed it.After the first chorus performance, 30 city defense soldiers lined up on the stage to show military boxing.Military
