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,
Moreover, at least seven or eight out of ten companies had illegal problems. They would have a bigger problem if they found something.Among the three, Chief of Police Gabe put less pressure on others.Although the police department was the authority, and the chief had all the power, Gabe could not arrest people if they did not commit crimes. Relatively speaking, his power was more limited."Let's go. Let's leave and find another restaurant."Fernando quickly said to the moguls and entrepreneurs."Yes, yes, yes, let's eat at another restaurant.""I was almost scared to death.""Sean is not a pushover. Avoid him whenever you can if you meet him in the future."The men said as they sped out of Sky Restaurant as if running for their lives.A private room on the third floor.Sean had already sat down in the chair, and so did Zander and Gabe, but Derrick and Benji were still standing.Sean asked Zander to close the door. Then they looked at the two men and said, "Why are you stil
Benji and Derrick could not stand it anymore. The two men cried their eyes out in the private room. The waiter who opened the door was so shocked that he closed the door and left.Sean, Zander, and Gabe made Derrick and Benji sit beside the dining table.The two men cried while eating and drinking. They did not know whether it was white wine or tears that they drank.Before they knew it, they were drunk.Gabe also spoke emotionally as he recalled the days of fighting for their lives with Sean, Zander, and the others on the battlefield."Wipe away your tears. You're men who have gone through fire and blood. Why are you acting like women?"Sean said, handing over a napkin.Derrick and Benji quickly wiped the tears from their faces, but their eyes soon watered again.Sean then changed the subject and said, "Gabe, Derrick, one of you is the chief of police, and the other is the director of the prosecutors' office. Both of you held government posts. You're only protecting Dragon Kin
"These banks withdrew their loans all at once, so my company is now experiencing financial problems. The capital chain might break... I've been trying to get a loan from another bank, but we haven't reached an agreement yet."With that said, Benji gave a long sigh."How much money do you need?"Sean asked directly.Without hesitation, Benji immediately replied, "At least 50 million dollars."50 million!It was no small sum.Gabe and Derrick were silent. After all, both of them made just over 10,000 dollars a month.50 million was countless months of their salary."Forget it. Forget it. Let's not talk about it. It will only upset us... Let's continue drinking."Benji said as he changed the subject.He also did not want to put Gabe, Derrick, Zander, and Sean on the spot. He was a tough guy who did not want to worry his old comrades with his affairs.Besides, why would he want Sean's help when he already felt guilty about Sean?He was not a shameless man.Sean said nothing m
The woman said hesitantly, but Zander grabbed the phone and put it down before she could finish speaking."We'll see Benji ourselves. Just tell us where his office is."Zander said with a chuckle.Visibly afraid, the woman said fearfully, "The chairman's office is on the top floor. Just take the elevator.""Oh, okay. Thank you."Zander thanked her. Then he entered the elevator with Sean and headed to the top floor.Zander was also carrying a silver suitcase, which was large enough to hold huge amounts of money.It actually contained five million dollars in cash that Sean had withdrawn from the bank. The remaining 75 million dollars was stored in the bank account because it was too much to carry.As Zander and Sean entered the elevator, the woman immediately picked up the phone and dialed a number."Hello, security? Two outsiders have barged into the company. They want to see the chairman and are on the elevator to the top floor. Hurry and stop them. Yes, yes, it's Ms. Gomez's
"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
