Zander chuckled and said, "Nonsense. How can we stay the same? There have been countless wars in the past five years. Commander and I keep getting stronger on the battlefield. We're far stronger than when you left, of course."Benji could not help nodding when he heard Zander's words.Lying on the floor and facing the ceiling, Gary was dizzy as his scalp tingled, and a strong sense of defeat poured out of his heart.As the head coach of Liamson Security Services, he earned a high salary of more than 20,000 dollars a month. Besides that, he was the champion of the last national martial arts competition, but he could not even last more than one move from the young man named Sean, who was in front of him.It was so humiliating.Sean smiled and held out his hand to Gary."Get up."Sean said.Gary came to his senses, grabbed Sean's hand, and was pulled off the ground."Why did I lose to you?" Gary seemingly muttered."Because you're fast but not as fast as me. Besides, your moves
After a while, he finally said quietly, "I'll tell you, but don't tell anyone else... Mr. Lennon is Sean Lennon, Dragon Kingdom's youngest nine-star commander and Guardian God of war!"Gary and Amelia's expressions instantly changed when he said this.Dragon Kingdom's youngest nine-star commander?He was also the Guardian God of war?Mr. Lennon had such a noble status. No wonder he was so strong.Amelia took it fairly well. She was only a woman after all, but Gary, who was obsessed with martial arts, was different. His face was full of enthusiasm."Oh, by the way, Mr. Lennon forgot to take this coat..."Amelia quickly said as if she remembered something.Gary immediately snatched the coat out of Amelia's hands and excitedly said, "I'll take it to Mr. Lennon. You don't have to worry about it."With that said, Gary turned away.Amelia was between laughter and tears. "Do you know where he’s staying?"Benji shook his head and said to Amelia, "Don't worry. It's just a coat. Mr. L
After hanging up, Sean and Zander went to the bookstore in downtown Midwich, where they bought many books about traditional medicine.Sean had always been interested in medicine. Besides that, he had also figured out a set of his own medical skills theory on the battlefield. Now that he had time, he wanted to read more books on traditional medicine to make his medical skills more comprehensive and advanced.However, Sean found the dozens of books on traditional medicine he bought were superficial and boring after returning to the hotel.It seemed that it was not feasible to learn theoretical knowledge of traditional medicine by buying some books on traditional medicine in the bookstore.Sean was disappointed, but Zander was thrilled.Because that way, Sean would not force him to read.Zander was a typical soldier. He had no problem going to war and leading soldiers, but he could not sit down and study.It would make him feel worse than dying."Commander, if you ask me, that's a
"How's the security in Midwich?" Sean asked suddenly."It's pretty good... It used to be a bit chaotic, but it has gotten better after I came to Midwich," Gabe replied.Sean nodded slightly at Gabe's words.However, Sean asked, "Is there organized crime in Midwich?"Gabe's expression changed slightly. After a while, he said, "Mr. Lennon, Midwich does have such crimes and gangs, but they've covered up their identity and rarely do anything, so the police never got anything on them. Besides, their existence is necessary. You might not get it when I say this..."Gabe rambled on while Sean and Zander listened quietly.It turned out that Midwich had a superior organization ruling it 20 years ago, and Midwich was harmonious and stable.Then the organization gradually went low-key and no longer cared about politics, so Midwich gradually became chaotic.Many criminal organizations had thus thrived secretly.The influence that Gabe had mentioned was born out of this. Then the criminal o
With that said, Fernando patted Jonathan on the head and said, "Punk, why aren't you apologizing to Mr. Lennon?""I'm sorry. I was too arrogant."Jonathan said reluctantly.Many guests walked by. They could not help but look at Sean and the others.They knew Fernando and Jonathan. Some even wanted to greet Fernando and Jonathan to get acquainted with them.However, Fernando and Jonathan unexpectedly apologized to Sean, which shocked them.'Who is this young man?'Why did Fernando and Jonathan give in to him when he's dressed so plainly that anyone can tell he's not from an influential family or a wealthy businessman?'How strange!'However, as soon as they saw Gabe standing next to Sean and Zander, they instantly understood.It turned out that these two had the support of the chief police, Gabe. No wonder Fernando and his son gave in. They must have given in because of Chief Police Wholeton.With that in mind, the people around were relieved.Fernando also noticed a lot of
Gabe explained to Sean and Zander. After all, he had lived in Midwich for five years and surely knew more about Midwich than Sean and Zander."Mr. Lennon and Zander, today's auction is held by the Harris family—one of the four leading noble families in Midwich. The Harris family is matched only by the Jensen family, the Sheldon family, and the Yale family. You've met members of the Jensen family just now. The Sheldon family and the Yale family are also here for the auction...""Look over there. The old man in the first row on the far left is Caden Sheldon—the patriarch of the Sheldon family, and the one next to him is his granddaughter—Luna Sheldon."Sean and Zander looked over curiously.They knew Benji was targeted by the Sheldon family because he rejected their heiress, Luna. It was why the company faced a capital chain rupture issue.Now they had met Luna herself.The heiress of the Sheldon family was indeed beautiful. Although she was only in her early twenties, she was eleg
As soon as Keith spoke, a middle-aged businessman immediately raised his auction paddle and shouted excitedly, "I bid 5.2 million dollars for the Two Butterflies painting!""I bid 5.3 million!""I bid 5.35 million!"Soon the price had risen to 6.2 million.Besides that, it had not reached the Two Butterflies painting's real worth, and the price was still increasing.Gabe suddenly raised his auction paddle and said with a laugh, "I bid 6.3 million!"Sean and Zander both turned to look at Gabe.Gabe's income should not be able to afford such an expensive item, but Gabe had just offered his bid, which surprised the two."I'm just joining in the fun. Since I'm here, shouldn't I show a sense of participation even if I'm only putting on a show?"Gabe said awkwardly to Sean, rubbing his hands.Gabe kept his voice low for fear that others would hear him.Zander could not help laughing.Seeing Gabe's embarrassment, Sean said, "You're doing a great job. You and Derrick are in the gov
"Mr. Lennon, aren't you not married too?" Gabe asked with a smile.Sean looked away and said nothing. Gabe shut up and stopped talking nonsense too. It would be troublesome if he pissed Sean off. Just then, the third auction item finally took the stage.The item was special. It was not common jewelry or treasure, nor was it an antique. It was a set of 30 books.Keith on the stage picked up the books and showed them to the guests."Everyone, these 30 books are the legacy of Midwich's miracle doctor, Albus Humphrey. Dr. Humphrey wrote down all his medical knowledge in these 30 books during his twilight years and gave them to his son as heirlooms. But Dr. Humphrey's son faced some trouble and needed money, so he asked the Harris family to put these 30 books up for auction."Hearing this, the guests in the audience frowned and looked a little impatient.'Books about medicine?'They sound impressive, but who would want them?'Sean sitting between Zander and Gabe, was intrigued as
