Two flashlights provided some light in the abandoned building.On the floor covered in rubble, the three young men got some straw from somewhere and spread it on the floor. Then they pressed Yvonne on the straw to harass her.Yvonne kept struggling. Coupled with the conservative clothes she was wearing, the three young men could not pull her clothes off."Don't move! Don't move! F*ck. Do you not understand English?"The blonde-haired leader slapped Yvonne, and half of Yvonne's face immediately reddened and swollen. There was also a cut at the corner of her mouth, where bright red blood bled.The slap was so hard that Yvonne was dumbfounded. Then she stopped moving and only wept.The three young men seized the opportunity to pull off Yvonne's clothes. Her top was almost torn."Stop it... I do know the city defense army's commander-in-chief... If you hurt me... You'll be dead meat..."Yvonne said as she cried.The three young men laughed so hard that they doubled up."The city
They wanted to give up, but Zander would not go easy on them. He ran after them and kicked them down one at a time.The two young men, who had been kicked in the stomach by Zander, fell to the floor and vomited. Bright red blood mixed with their vomit—Their intestines were probably bleeding from Zander's kick.Sean had now lifted Yvonne off the floor."You're not hurt, are you?" Sean asked.Sean felt like he was talking nonsense once he finished asking because he could see that Yvonne was hurt—though not badly.The worst wound on Yvonne's body was the one at the corner of her mouth that was still bleeding.There were many scars on her arms and legs. They were scratches she got from the ground when the three young men dragged her.None of these injuries were serious, but they must have hurt.Yvonne was not incapacitated by the injury, but she was terrified, and her legs were shaking.Sean helped her up, and she fell on Sean's chest. Her whole body collapsed into Sean's arms.S
Yvonne had passed out when Sean brought her back, but she had now opened her eyes and woken up.She sat up from the bed but winced in pain as soon as she sat up because she triggered the wounds on her body."Lie down. We're leaving now."Sean said to Yvonne.Yvonne nodded and looked at Sean imploringly. She said nothing, but Sean knew what she meant."Let me think about it, and I'll let you know once I figure something out."Sean said to Yvonne.Yvonne breathed a sigh of relief, and joy filled her heart.At least Sean did not reject her outright this time.After leaving the slum, Sean and Zander walked slowly back to camp.It was not a very long walk, but it was not a short walk either. It should take about an hour to walk back at this pace or about 40 minutes if they walked faster."Commander, are you planning to..."Zander asked hesitantly.Sean chuckled and said, "Are you asking about Yvonne? Yeah, I'm planning to buy an apartment downtown. You and I will move in togeth
Zander took Dwayne to the commander-in-chief's office.Once he entered the office, Dwayne nodded and bowed before obsequiously cottoning up to Sean. Sean did not take kindly to Dwayne. He asked directly, "I heard Onyx Dragon Gang is vaguely involved with the sheriff's department. You even defended Onyx Dragon Gang. Is that true?"Dwayne's expression immediately changed as he shook his head violently."No! Definitely no! Commander Lennon, I don't know where you heard this rumor, but it's outrageous! Someone created this rumor. It's all made up.""Oh, tell me what's going on then."Sean was asked calmly.Dwayne pulled out two envelopes, respectfully put them on Sean's desk, and spoke."Commander Lennon, here's what happened. Two of our sheriffs in the sheriff's department are indeed involved with Onyx, the head of Onyx Dragon Gang, so Onyx told everyone that he knew people in the sheriff's department and that the sheriff's department has his back, but it was only the two sheriff
Sean was satisfied to see the exquisite model houses in the glass display when he reached it. These were residential areas. The area of the units was between 100 square meters and 150 square meters, and the price was around 5,000 Dragon Dollars per square meter.5,000 Dragon Dollars.Dragon Kingdom's real estate prices were already much higher than this. It was rare to find a house for 5,000 dollars per square meter in Dragon Kingdom. Only some small towns would have houses at this price.However, the City-State Union's economy was not as developed as Dragon Kingdom and had a relatively smaller population. The land per capita was not tense, so the housing price was low.Even so, Dorodo's ordinary people would have to save for years to buy such a house. The slum's residents could forget about it."This is pretty good. Is the top floor empty?"Sean asked, pointing to the building in the middle of a neighborhood.The estate agent immediately said with a chuckle, "This is Crystalv
Mr. Candour's haughtiness made Sean slightly upset.Zander was even angrier than Sean. He was Sean's subordinate and was loyal to Sean. How could he watch his commander be humiliated by an arrogant nobody and stay calm?"We want that unit!"Zander spoke firmly without waiting for Sean to speak.Mr. Candour sneered after hearing Zander's words. "I tried to be respectful, but you don't want it. Did you not hear what I just said? We've sold the unit!""If it's sold, why is it still on sale?"Zander asked immediately.According to the industry's rules, sold units would have been labeled as sold and would not be labeled as on sale. Estate agents would never recommend units that had been sold to the clients who were there to view units.Therefore, he could tell that the unit had not been sold. Mr. Candour probably wanted to keep it all to himself or wanted to sell it to his friends, so he said it had already been sold.Such things were not uncommon, but Zander could not bear the ang
Sean smiled and waved his hand.Monica was already looking at Mr. Candour in the hall, who did not notice Monica's arrival and was joking with another estate agent."Franklin, come here!"Monica shouted, shocking Mr. Candour.When Mr. Candour saw Monica, his expression changed instantly, and he quickly came to Monica."Were you the one who served Commander Lennon and Commander Young? Do you know who Commander Lennon is? He's the commander-in-chief of Dorodo's city defense army! How dare you be rude to him? Do you have a death wish?"Monica snapped.Franklin's face instantly went pale when he heard this.He did not expect the young man he had just criticized but did not retort to him was one of the famous Dorodo duo, the city defense army's commander-in-chief—Sean Lennon!Upon learning Sean's identity, Franklin instantly shuddered with fear as his legs shook slightly."I... I wasn't rude to them... I didn't do anything..."Franklin was stuttering and crying heavily, but he st
Franklin was fired and quickly thrown out by the real estate sales department's security guards.Sean bought the top floor of the center tower with full payment.Monica intended to give the house to Sean, but Sean refused, saying he could not accept gifts and bought the unit with money out of his own pocket.After leaving the real estate sales department, Sean went to look at the unit with Zander.Crystalville had a good environment with a lot of greenery. Besides that, the center tower was the largest building in Crystalville.After taking the elevator to the top floor on level 23 and entering the room, Sean and Zander were pleased with the unit.The most important thing was that the unit was already renovated, so it did not need more work. Even some ordinary furniture was already there. It was to the point where they could move in with their belongings. Just a few electrical appliances away, and they could live here."We'll live here from now on. Save Yvonne a room so she coul
"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
