"Okay, Donald, you and Ian will punish the three young masters. Give them 40 strokes each."Sean's calm statement made Lionel, Solomon, and Nathan pale dramatically.'40 strokes?'Is that a joke? That can kill us!'Lionel instantly panicked and shouted at Sean, "Who are you to hit us?""I'm the commander-in-chief of the city defense army, and the three of you have just tried to bribe and threaten the city defense soldiers. The punishment for each of these crimes is 20 strokes. The total is 40 strokes."Sean explained with a laugh.As soon as Sean said this, the city defense soldiers behind him pounced on Lionel, Solomon, and Nathan, pinning them to the ground.Sean only continued speaking calmly, "Lionel, Solomon, and Nathan, do you realize I'm here to let you go? To tell you the truth. I don't want to let you go, but you didn't violate Dorodo's laws, and I can't punish you randomly."But you were so uncooperative, trying to bribe and threaten the city defense soldiers. You ha
Ian and Donald had a blast.They both had long wanted to beat up Lionel, Solomon, and Nathan.However, they had to put up with them because of military discipline.Now, they were free to vent their anger and discontent.These three were normally high and mighty heirs. Their statuses were much higher than the city defense soldiers.They threw their weight around, and nobody could do anything to them.However, these three heirs were now like three poor pests at the mercy of Ian and Donald.40 strokes were finally over.Lionel and Solomon passed out several times but were doused awake with cold water before passing out again.They were dying. It was as if they would die anytime soon.Nathan pinned to the ground nearby was terrified."It's your turn, Young Master Lambert."A smile spread across Ian's bearded face.Half an hour later.Looking at the dying Lionel, Solomon, and Nathan on the ground, Sean said indifferently, "Since we've punished them, send them back to the Walke
However, he could no longer keep calm.Sean's actions repeatedly disrupted their plans and arrangements, and the three influential families were now suffering huge losses."This can't go on. If we let that Sean do whatever he wants, our families won't have a future in Dorodo!"Cole said exasperatedly."Then tell me what we should do. We have businesses in other cities, but the ones in Dorodo were the biggest. Now that we're restricted in Dorodo, our losses are more than 50%. Can you solve this problem?"Dylan asked in reply.Elijah said nothing. He was deep in thought, trying to figure out what to do next.Cole had no idea what to do. He had never been calculating.Just then, an old man rushed in.The old man was the Walker family's butler."Sir! Sir! We're in trouble! The city defense army has sent Young Master back! The three young masters had been beaten half to death and are now unconscious!"Elijah, Cole, and Dylan's expressions instantly turned ghastly when they heard
However, such small houses would fit a single family in the slum.Of course, it would be crowded for a family of three or even four to use such a small house.Even so, it was already much better than the houses they used to live in!Once the houses were built, they would be rented to the poor on a monthly basis. After five years of rental, they could buy the house they were renting at a below-market price.Such a policy was a blessing to the slum residents.Besides that, the poor had already found out about Sean's fundraising for them, so Sean's reputation in the slum was at an all-time high.Sean and Zander had just arrived at the slum and were immediately surrounded by a large crowd of poor people."Thank you, Commander Lennon. You saved us all!" An old lady nearly 60 years old said with tears of gratitude."Commander Lennon, you're a saint. You're a kind man!""How wonderful is it that the slum has met a savior like you!"Words of gratitude came from all directions and str
Life was so hard for them.However, Yvonne said in surprise, "Commander Lennon, what I meant is that you come with me to my house, and I'll make Sashakee dumplings for you. You can't eat this vegetable unless it's cooked. You can't eat it raw!"Sean's expression became a little weird.Zander looked like he wanted to laugh but was afraid to."Isn't it inappropriate for me to go to your house? Does your family have enough food to eat?" Sean asked.Yvonne said cheerfully, "Enough! We have enough to eat! We have a lot of food at home. We can't finish them so soon.""How come you have a lot of food at home?"Sean asked in confusion.Most of the poor had no source of income after the closure of factories and companies. There should not be enough food.Yvonne was a little embarrassed as she said, "My father was sick earlier. He worried about us going hungry when our family ran out of money, so he asked my mother to buy some food in advance and store it at home. Dehydrated wheat will
Upon hearing Sean's question, Bob immediately moved his arm to show Sean and said with a chuckle, "Commander Lennon, my arm has pretty much recovered. It doesn't affect my life. I can still do labor work! It's just that I have only one arm left, and the factories and mines don't want me..."Bob's expression darkened again at the end of his speech.Sean performed the amputation, and the surgery was successful with no after-effects.However, he lost an arm after all. He could not work like regular people anymore. He had also approached the coal mine he used to work at to find a job, but they rejected him.As a man, he had no job and depended on his wife and daughter—It was something no man could accept unless this man had no shame."Don't worry. I will help you find a job. You need more rest."Sean said to Bob.To reassure Bob and prevent him from thinking he was only comforting him, Sean added, "We lack someone to manage the canteen warehouse at the city defense army's main camp.
He would not share information about Willow with anyone."That's wonderful... No, what I meant is what a coincidence. Yvonne doesn't have a boyfriend yet either. What do you think of Yvonne? She's beautiful. She's definitely one of the most beautiful women in the slum. Countless men want to pursue her..."Yvonne's mother eagerly recommended her precious daughter to Sean.Bob looked at Sean with anticipation.Sean was the city defense army's commander-in-chief. If he took a fancy to his daughter, their family would have gotten themselves a powerful connection even if he did not marry her and only takes her as a lover.They did not expect to rely on Sean to do whatever they wanted in Dorodo. They were content with living a harmonious, stable, carefree life.Yvonne was already blushing. She did not expect her parents to be so direct.Besides, she was still here. Bob and Yvonne's mother acted like she did not exist.Zander almost laughed out loud.Sean looked slightly awkward. He
"There are no women in the city defense army's main camp. And no women will be allowed to stay. Forget about it."Sean rejected them directly.He would not tolerate or compromise anything that might negatively impact the city defense army, even if it involved him.Seeing Sean so determined, Yvonne's mother sighed repeatedly.Yvonne could not take it anymore and said, "Dad, Mom, stop it. How could an important man like Commander Lennon have any interest in me?"With that said, Yvonne put down her cutlery and went out.Yvonne's mother shouted twice, but Yvonne did not come back. Instead, she sped out of the house."That child..."Yvonne's mother said helplessly.Bob was a little embarrassed, but he still smoothed things over by saying, "She's just stubborn. Commander Lennon, don't mind her.""Of course, I won't. It's not that I think you're not good enough for me, but the military rules are like that. As the city defense army's commander-in-chief, I can't take the lead in viola
