Zander said with a chuckle, "Old sir, what's so great about a local family? Do you realize that the man sitting before you is Dragon Kingdom's youngest...""Zander! Don't say anything you shouldn't!"Sean said sharply.Zander shut up and said no more.Sean turned to look at the old man and asked with a smile, "Old sir, tell me about the influential families in Midwich. We're going to Midwich too. So we could learn a thing or two."The old man had no choice but to answer, "Midwich is a big city with many influential families. There are dozens if not 100, but only 4 are top elite families. They're the Jensen family, the Sheldon family, the Harris family, and the Yale family. Fernando Jensen is the patriarch of the Jensen family. He's in real estate, and Jonathan is Fernando's son! Fernando's already 60 years old. He only had a son when he was 40. He named him Jonathan, so his son is very important to him."It's no big deal when you helped me with the bodyguard earlier. It's alright
It was because they had seen someone.That person was among the police, and his uniform was different from the others. He was probably the chief of the police department.A dozen or so police hurried over with the chief, Jonathan, and Jonathan's bodyguard—Troy leading the way.As soon as they arrived, Jonathan pointed to Sean and said triumphantly, "That's him! He was the one who hit me on the train!"Then Jonathan looked at Zander again and said, "Didn't you have a good time beating me? Go on! Do it again if you dare! I don't think you have the guts to touch me now! But I'm going to arrest you today and lock you up in jail for at least six months, no matter what! Don't worry. I'll ask them to take good care of you. They'll feed you chili juice and put you in the electric chair every day...""I look forward to it."Zander nodded with a smile.Jonathan stopped hesitating and immediately ordered, "Get them! Arrest them all! Don't let this old thing go either!"The old man was so
The chief of police was named Gabe Wholeton. He used to be Sean's subordinate and had followed Sean into war with Zander.Gabe's time with Sean was shorter than Zander's, but not because he came later. Gabe had followed Sean earlier than Zander.However, Gabe was severely wounded in a battle five years ago. After recovering from his injuries, he was ill-suited to fight in war.Therefore, Gabe withdrew from the front line and returned to within the borders.Later, Sean stopped contacting Gabe due to the tension of the war. Unexpectedly, he ended up working as the chief of police in Midwich.When they saw Gabe from afar, Sean and Zander recognized him immediately."Just address me as mister. This isn't the army after all," Sean said to Gabe with a chuckle.Gabe nodded and asked, "Mr. Lennon, what's going on? Why do you have a conflict with Jonathan, the heir of the Jensen family?"Before Sean could explain, Zander said, "Need I say more? Jonathan insulted this old man and even go
However, they had no idea that Sean did not blame them.After all, fighting in wars was difficult work. Besides that, you would face life and death on the battlefield. Not everyone could endure it.It was not all Derrick and Benji's fault that they could not endure it."So they're in Midwich too. What a coincidence." Sean nodded with a chuckle.Gabe continued saying, "Derrick is now the director of the prosecutor's office. His rank is the same as mine. Benji didn't serve as a public servant. He started his own business. It's a big security company.""A security company?"Sean was mildly interested.Gabe nodded and said, "Yeah. To be honest, we soldiers don't know anything. We're just strong and could fight and kill. Derrick and I could survive by working for the government. Benji started his own business. He tried a lot of industries at first and couldn't make it. Then he got involved in the security industry before finally seeing some results. Benji's security company is called
Zander asked, "Commander, Aren't you mad at Derrick and Benji for abandoning the army?""Abandon?"Sean could not help laughing.He did not expect Zander to think Derrick and Benji had abandoned the army.It seemed Zander was mad about Derrick and Benji's retirement and must despise them. Otherwise, he would not have said such a thing.Sean laughed and said, "Derrick and Benji would have abandoned the army if they had suddenly deserted in the middle of a war. I will kill them without mercy according to military rules! But Derrick and Benji didn't desert in the middle of a war. Besides, they applied to discharge and retired as per the procedure. How is that abandoning?""But they couldn't stand the hardship after all. They retired because they're unwilling to continue bearing the responsibility of protecting the country."Zander said, gritting his teeth."Not everyone is capable of such a huge responsibility, and not everyone has steel-like willpower. Zander, you're asking too m
However, Sean and Zander were meeting with three old comrades today. There would be some discussion over the dining table about things that happened on the battlefield—many of which were military secrets, so no one could know.It would be bad if it leaked out.It was why Zander stressed the need for a private room. They would have to go to another restaurant for dinner if there was no private room available."Gentlemen, please come upstairs with me..."The waitress said and began leading the way, but a large group of people walked in just then.This group of people was in high-end suits. They all looked like successful people.The one at the front was a middle-aged man in his 40s, and the young man beside him was none other than Jonathan!"Give us a private room!"As soon as the group entered, the middle-aged man said in a voice so loud that the customers in the whole dining area might have heard him."I'm sorry. There are no more private rooms left."Another waitress said to
"What if I say no?"Sean asked in reply with a smile.Hearing Sean's words, the people around him looked at him and Zander with even greater surprise.It was because Sean was only an ordinary nobody to them, while Fernando was the patriarch of the Jensen family, who were influential in Midwich.Not to mention the moguls and entrepreneurs following behind Fernando.By doing so, Sean had offended not only Fernando, Jonathan, and the Jensen family but also many moguls and entrepreneurs!Having offended so many people, how dare Sean and Zander stay in Midwich any longer?However, Sean was so calm that they could not help feeling shocked.Fernando's face grew grimmer as he sneered.He said bluntly, "Sean, right? Do you know what happens when you offend the Jensen family? I, Fernando Jensen, don't rule Midwich, but many of my friends are willing to help me instead. To put it crudely, one word from me today will make your life in Midwich miserable!""Is it? I'd like to see it."Sea
"I didn't know I'm someone who likes to be late," Sean joked."No, no, no, that's not what I meant... It's just that our appointment was at 8.30 p.m., and it's only 8.10 p.m..."Gabe was scared to keep Sean waiting for the three of them, so he set it at Sky Restaurant at 8.30 p.m. Meanwhile, he told Derrick and Benji to arrive 20 minutes earlier.However, Sean and Zander unexpectedly came earlier than the three of them."Zander and I didn't have much to do either, so we came over early," Sean said with a nod.Gabe looked at Sean and then the people around him. Then he realized something was wrong.He then asked, "Mr. Lennon, you're already here. Why didn't you go to the private room? Why do you keep standing here? Has something happened?"Sean glanced meaningfully at Fernando. Fernando, Jonathan, the moguls, and the entrepreneurs around them looked shocked."Nothing. It's just that the restaurant only has one private room left. Unfortunately, the patriarch of the Jensen family,
