Who would want to go after East World Hotel?Since arriving in Midwich, Sean had offended some people, and he had offended the Jensen family the most.Besides the Jensen family, he had also pretty much offended the Sheldon family.Sean had outbid not only the Jensen family but also the Sheldon family at the Harris family's auction. It was just that Sean was not too confrontational with the patriarch of the Sheldon family—Caden.Besides, the Sheldon family deliberately gave a hard time to Benji's Liamson Security Services, but Sean gave Benji 80 million dollars to help Benji's company tide over the difficulties, which also indirectly offended the Sheldon family.Therefore, did the tax collectors come to East World Hotel today to check the taxes because the Jensen family reported them or did the Sheldon family do it?After getting out of the elevator, you would find the hotel lobby.Sean and Cheryl had not yet reached the reception desk when they saw several tax collectors in thei
Once the director of the prosecutors' office, Derrick, spoke, the expression of the young tax collector standing before Sean changed instantly.He was not the only one. The expression of the other tax collectors behind him became horrified too.Derrick and Gabe strode over.When they arrived, Derrick looked at the young tax collector and said with a sneer, "What's the matter? Do you even refuse to greet your old boss now?"The tax collector quickly approached Derrick, bent slightly over, and said with his head down, "Hello, Director Crate... Why are you here, Director Crate?""Do I need to inform you wherever I go?"Derrick said bluntly."No, no, no, that's not what I meant..."The tax collector shook his head, panicked.Derrick looked at Sean and said with a chuckle, "Commander, this tax collector is Benny Craig. He used to work in the prosecutors' office and was transferred to the taxation bureau because there was a shortage of staff. Now he's a captain at the taxation burea
Sean patted Benny on the shoulder and said with a chuckle.It was only now that Benny finally calmed down. He could feel himself sweating, and the clothes under his coat were all wet with sweat.Benny took a deep breath and said quickly, "Since Chief Police Wholeton and Director Crate are here, there must be nothing wrong with your hotel, so we won't check you anymore..."With that said, Benny wanted to leave with his men.Sean stopped him and said, "How could you not check? You're already here. If you don't check, won't outsiders say I intimidated you by using Chief Police Wholeton and Director Crate's power if they know? Check us now, Benny. I'll have someone bring you the accounts and tax payment records. Check them as you please."With that said, Sean ordered Cheryl, "Go. Get our hotel's accounts and tax payment records.""Yes."Cheryl nodded, turned around, and left.Cheryl soon arrived with a heap of accounts and tax payment records."These are our hotel's accounts and t
Benny quickly left with his team.East World Hotel was peaceful again."Alright, Commander. Benny won't cause any more trouble. He doesn't have the guts." Derrick said to Sean with a chuckle.Sean smiled as he nodded.He knew this was going to happen. With Derrick and Gabe as stakeholders in East World Hotel, who else in Midwich could touch East World Hotel?"Commander, we're leaving if there's nothing else."Derrick asked with a smile."Yeah, that's all. Let's have a drink again later," Sean said to Derrick and Gabe.Derrick and Gabe nodded in agreement. After exchanging a few pleasantries, they walked out of East World Hotel's entrance.Cheryl and the rest went back to work.Sean went back to his suite.Zander soon came back from his outing. He had gone to withdraw some money.Sean said they would go to Lyla's nightclub tonight before Derrick and Gabe arrived, so Zander excitedly went to the bank to get cash.Although card payment was common nowadays, cash was sometimes
As soon as Sean and Zander stepped through the nightclub entrance, they immediately felt the bustling atmosphere.Colorful lights kept flashing in the nightclub, at a fast and bewildering beat. Besides that, the nightclub was full of figures wriggling like demons.Sean frowned as he watched.He had thought nightclubs were quieter places where men and women dined and flirted.However, it did not seem to be the case at all.Sean regretted coming here. The bustling atmosphere made him uncomfortable.Zander was a little excited. After all, it was his first time here, and he could not help feeling excited."Commander, it's so chaotic here."Zander said to Sean."Yeah, it's chaotic. It's too chaotic."Sean nodded.The two find a seat in the corner of the nightclub. The lighting was already dim, and Sean and Zander chose a seat in the corner, so it was naturally darker.Without careful observation, no one would even know there was someone here.After sitting down, Sean surveyed e
Zander was instantly embarrassed and excited at the same time.He looked inquisitively at Sean—asking Sean if he wanted to hire a princess.However, a cry of surprise came from a distance before Sean had said anything."Dr. Lennon! You came!"Then a young woman in a miniskirt and a crop top quickly ran toward Sean and Zander.The young woman was Lyla, who went to give trouble to Sean before and had her gonorrhea cured by Sean.Lyla was overjoyed to see Sean. She ran toward Sean and Zander, pushing the bartender away as soon as she reached him."They're the guests I invited. We’re good here. Go about your business."Lyla said happily.The bartender smiled and left.Once Lyla sat down, Sean asked, "Do you work here? Do you work every day?"Lyla replied, "Well, yes, I work here, but not every day. I only come here Monday to Friday. After all, I have a personal life. There's no way I can spend all my time here."Then Lyla said, "Don't look down on me. I'm a college student! I'm
Lyla said with a bitter smile, "It's easy to get into this business, but it's hard to get out. Besides, I've been working here for a few months and have already gotten used to it...""You can't get used to it. Try to get out as soon as possible. You're a college student. Study hard and get a proper job in the future. That's where your future lies."Sean said earnestly.Lyla's expression turned weird. She stared at Sean for a moment before saying, "Why do I suddenly feel like you're my father? Other men don't care about me that much. They only want to get me into bed."Sean was instantly at a loss for words, not knowing what to say.Zander burst into laughter.It was the first time he had ever seen his commander rendered speechless in front of a woman, and she was only a young woman who was only 18 years old.Lyla twisted her slender waist and said a chuckle, "Dr. Lennon, you didn't come to the nightclub to lecture me, did you? I'm sure you're here to have fun. Why don't I spend
"10%."Lyla did not hold back and answered right away.Zander did a little math when he heard that. He nodded and said, "10% is pretty good. If your clients spend 10,000 here, you'll earn 1,000 dollars a night and then 30,000 dollars in a month, which is more than what most ordinary people earn."Lyla saved 200,000 for herself in a few months, which was pretty normal if you calculated it that way.It was indeed profitable to be a hostess, but you would get a bad reputation, and it was easy to put yourself in danger.Lyla said helplessly, "How did you calculate it that way? Zander, my clients usually won't spend as much as 10,000 dollars. I'm already laughing up my sleeve if they spent 3,000 or 4,000 dollars. Most people who come to nightclubs are poor. There are very few rich people like you. Besides, rich people are difficult. Even if someone rich came here, I'm not necessarily the one to accompany them, and I don't want to accompany them."Sean said, "You've made enough money.
"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
