Thrown into the room, the woman with a bob haircut panicked instantly."What are you doing? What are you doing?""Don't you want to simp over him? I'm giving you what you want," Sean answered and locked the door.The heart of the woman with a bob haircut dropped. She knocked desperately on the door."I'm sorry. I was wrong! Please don't do this! Please! I don't want to..."Before she could finish speaking, Leon, who had lost his mind, lunged toward her. She could not push him away no matter what.The woman with a bob haircut's voice instantly became shrill."Help! Help!"Sean was about to walk up to Lyla and say something when his phone rang. It was a phone call from Harry.As soon as the line got through, Harry's voice rang."We got a problem, Mr. Lennon. Something has happened to Ms. Quinn!""What did you say?"Sean's heart sank."Ms. Quinn has been kidnapped. I tracked her down in Ocean City. If you give me a little time, I'll get to the bottom of this as soon as possib
Lyla was at a loss for words all of a sudden. She had no idea what to say."Be good and go home."Sean's words seemed to carry a kind of magic. It was impossible to resist.Lyla nodded obediently and walked stiffly out of there.When walking past Sean, Sean took a deep breath and tried to calm his anger."Listen to me. Don't ever drink with these bastards again. As a girl, you should protect yourself. I can protect you once, but not next time. That's all. Goodbye."Zander barged in with someone."Mr. Lennon, I'm here with the men."To hide his identity, Sean told Zander yesterday to address him as Mr. Lennon when they were outside.Without looking back, Sean said to the trembling security guards in front of him, "I'm not going to kill you, but someone will take care of this. That's all."With that said, he headed for the exit.The men Zander brought over took care of the scene quickly and Zander followed closely behind Sean."Mr. Lennon, the plane is ready to go any time."
1.36 p.m. Sunnyridge Street in suburban Ocean City.Sean took a deep breath when he arrived.To be honest, he had no idea where to find Willow. He had given the order to secretly investigate the Lake family, but he would be foolish to expect any useful information at such short notice."Mr. Lennon, what should we do now?"Zander noticed Sean had hurried over as he asked, and he immediately followed.Because they were in a rush, one of the two drunk men brushing past Sean hit Zander's shoulder."I'm so sorry." Zander curtly apologized and continued to catch up with Sean.The man who had been hit in the shoulder grabbed Zander's shoulder."Hey, what's wrong with you? Do you not look where you're going? Are you blind?"Before Zander could answer, the man swung at Zander’s face.Seeing this, Zander took the man's fist in his hand."What's the matter with you? I didn't knock you down or hurt you. I even apologized. What more do you want?""What do I want? Can you fool me with ju
He laughed sarcastically. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Look at you two unfortunate fools.""To tell you the truth, I'm irritated after being beaten up by some strange fellows. I was looking for a place to blow off steam, and you two just bumped into me. If you two aren't unlucky, who is?"Lamar pointed at Zander with his baseball bat."Is this the guy who hit you?" The two men who were beaten nodded vigorously."Alright, I'll take this guy on myself. As for the other one..." Lamar looked at Sean with a sneer.He did not even take Sean seriously."The guy next to him at least had some courage to beat us, but this loser came in obediently. How ridiculous. Since he's so pitiful, any two of you can beat him up and get justice for our buddies." "Alright." Two men immediately walked out, sneered at Sean, and rushed up to Sean.Lamar grabbed his baseball bat and swung it at Zander's head.Zander threw a punch at Lamar's metal baseball bat.Lamar scoffed at this."What's wrong with you? You're
"I'm sorry. I was wrong, really wrong."I had a momentary lapse in judgment. Please let me go! A couple of guys just like you two took a beautiful woman by force yesterday. I wanted to rescue her, but I didn't expect them to be so strong."My buddies and I were so angry that we accidentally did such a ridiculous thing."Sean's eyes could hardly contain his anger when he heard this.Lamar cried even harder at Sean's reaction.He wondered if he would have to give up his life today.Sean glared at Lamar and said, "What did that woman look like?""Well..." Lamar tried hard to recall the woman's appearance. "I can't describe it! I quit school in fifth grade. All I know is that she's quite pretty. She looked like an angel even if she kept covering her face."Sean and Zander looked at each other when they heard that."Could it be Willow?" Zander asked."It's highly possible," Sean replied before glancing at Lamar again. "Where did those people go?""Guys, what do you think I am? I'
"Cut the crap. I said I want to have a look. What do you have to do with this?"The manager's eyes instantly lit up at the sight of the stack of cash.By the looks of it, it should be 10,000 dollars.However, the cunning man did not take it. Instead, he observed the two men in front of him.He had often shown surveillance footage in private.Usually, it was private investigators investigating cheating or rich heirs who had had their eye on girls who happened to pass by them.Sean and Zander did not look like the former.It was a simple matter since they were rich heirs. He could take advantage of them.The manager immediately showed an awkward smile."Oh, sirs! It's not that I don't want to help you out. There's a considerable risk to take. I'll tell you the truth. It's easy to make a living here, and I'm counting on this company to pay for my retirement. I'll have more to lose if I risk it because of you."Zander frowned slightly and took out another stack of cash. "Take it,
The manager scoffed and began to fiddle with his pen when he heard that."Gentlemen, don't say it like that. After all, you've done so much, and I happened to record some evidence of what you've done. What do you think will happen to you if I hand out this evidence? Tsk, tsk, tsk, this involves invasion of privacy. You're going to be locked up for at least two weeks.""I don't think you can afford to be locked up. I also don't want you to be wronged, so why don't we meet each other halfway?"The manager showed no sign of fear as Zander glared at him.He held up three fingers."300 thousand dollars. It's just the right amount. It's just the price of a meal for both of you. Am I right?"The manager did not forget to emphasize. "After you pay 300 thousand, you can even come and go here as you please for about ten days. I promise that no one will disturb you. Besides that, I'm going to erase all records you have been here too. Everyone can have peace of mind. How about that?"Zander
The manager shouted again, "Get them. Give these two a good beating. I'll take full responsibility and pay you 30 thousand! Hurry, beat up these two and take me to the hospital."There was a saying that money talks. Although 30 thousand dollars was not much money, a few of these people were tempted anyway. They immediately rushed up to attack Zander and Sean.Zander immediately slapped them.He slapped them on their faces, knocking them to the ground like firecrackers being set off. Those who got hit were badly battered.Several men who did nothing covered their faces aggrievedly."We didn't do anything! Why did you beat us too?""Yeah, we were only passing by!"Zander sneered. "Can't I be annoyed by you?"Sean spoke up."Zander, stop wasting time. Get their boss here and settle this from the top.""Alright." Zander was just about to grab someone and ask them where their boss was when he saw a half-bald man with a big belly and gold-rimmed glasses walk up, surrounded by four
"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
