Hearing that, Zander's eyes shone brightly as if he had been injected with adrenaline.He responded in acknowledgment, turned around to face the blonde guy and the green-haired guy, and rushed at them like a cannonball."Gosh, I can't believe you turned around."There's only a handful of people who dare to scold me in Ocean City, but you're not one of them!"Today, I'll teach you Ocean City's rules so you know who you can't offend!"The blonde guy said to Zander. His face was grim, but there was a gleam of joy in his eyes.Zander, who had received Sean's order, did not bother to respond. By the time the blonde guy finished speaking, Zander was already in front of the two young men.The tall Zander was like an insurmountable mountain, putting heavy pressure on the two."You asked for it!"The green-haired guy snorted coldly and swung the steel pipe to hit Zander's head.Before the steel pipe fell on Zander's head, Zander smirked and said with a sneer, "Since you're so stupid,
Zander ignored the blonde guy and the green-haired guy and immediately returned to Sean.He followed Sean and walked back toward the hotel again.They looked calm as if they were not the ones who had knocked down two of Ocean City's wealthy heirs at the parking lot earlier."Mr. Lennon, these two punks ignorantly provoked you. If we let them go so easily, isn't it a little..."Before Zander could finish speaking, Sean chuckled and said, "They're only kids. Our real target hasn't shown up yet."Zander's expression changed slightly at this, and soon his eyes darkened.Anyone going after Sean would have to go through Zander and his fists first.As if sensing what the man next to him was thinking, Sean said again, "Relax. They're nobodies."With our influence in Ocean City, we have no one to fear."Zander nodded slightly, but he did not let his guard down.It was not until Sean and Zander were out of sight that the blonde guy stopped beating his partner.The green-haired guy lyi
After Christopher came over, Curtis came up with a series of plots against Sean after a brief talk with Christopher.Victory Auction House was just the beginning.Knowing how terrifyingly capable Sean was, Curtis could not strike rashly.He had used the Lake family's connections to plan everything, only waiting for Sean to fall into his traps."Come on, it's time for the auction to begin. Come with me to meet my old friend."Curtis said with a smile instead of answering Christopher's question.After saying that, he walked out of the room with his two bodyguards, regardless of Christopher's reaction.Seeing this, Christopher felt a little resentful. After all, he was obviously older. Christopher made the Tatum family a vassal family of the Lake family because Christopher was on good terms with Curtis' grandfather.As Curtis' grandfather passed away, the Tatum family had become less important in the Lake family. Now, even a young man like Curtis could disregard Christopher, who a
"Show me your invitations, please!"Victory Auction House's staff checked the guests quickly. It was Sean and Zander's turn within minutes.They handed them their invitations and were let into Ocean Hotel after the staff checked them.As one of the top hotels in Ocean City, it usually had many guests staying at the hotel, but the entire hotel had been cleared of all guests because Victory Auction House was holding an auction there.Only those with invitations could stay at Ocean Hotel.With the staff's guidance, Sean and Zander quickly came to a huge room.The room, which was the size of two basketball courts, had been set up to look like an auction hall.Most of the rows of seats were filled, and only a dozen were left vacant.After finding his seat and sitting down, Sean saw two people not far away."Curtis Lake! He came too."Mr. Lennon, I'll go over and kill him now."Zander also saw the two men, and his voice sounded murderous.Sean withdrew his gaze and said with a ch
"This is the first of the five final artifacts!"The auctioneer said.Then, she tore off the black cloth covering the lot, and a painting half a man high appeared in front of everyone."What the f*ck? Is this Douglas Van Dough's Moon Lake Painting?""Really? Wasn't the Moon Lake Painting already sold? If I remember correctly, a wealthy merchant in Port City bought it for 400 million dollars.""Four hundred million dollars! A painting for 400 million? Did this guy from Port City hit the jackpot?""What do you know? The truly rich would even buy Van Dough's authentic painting for 4 billion, not just 400 million.""Yeah. Judging from your ignorance, you didn't know Douglas Van Dough had a Lumiere Mountain Waterfall Painting that sold for 3.6 billion dollars, did you? Lumiere Mountain Waterfall Painting would probably have sold for more than 5 billion nowadays."...As the auction lot was officially unveiled, the entire venue erupted into an unprecedented heated discussion.Van
"50th birthday? Look up the date when we get back, Zander."Sean glanced at the defiant-looking Curtis and said.Zander nodded and looked at Curtis with a sneer. His eyes were full of glee from the misery Curtis was about to suffer.Once Sean found out the date of Old Master Lake's 50th birthday, he would surely give him an unforgettable gift."Mr. Lake here is offering 450 million. Is there anyone else looking to bid further?"The auctioneer asked with a smile.However, the disdain in her eyes intensified.Although she was not as prominent as Curtis, she was accustomed to seeing various dignitaries in Dragon Kingdom. She was full of contempt when she saw how arrogant Curtis was.He was only from a noble family in Ocean City, yet he behaved so arrogantly."Sweetie, stop asking around. Just announce the result. I think everyone here is willing to do me a favor!"Curtis gazed at the auctioneer on stage and said with a chuckle.The auctioneer glanced at him and said with a smil
"Gosh, who is this? How dare he go up against Mr. Lake in Ocean City? Is he some big shot from Janestown or somewhere?""A big shot? This guy is only the boss of a security firm! Optimus Security Services, the company that caused a lot of trouble in Ocean City recently belongs to him!""Huh? He's just the owner of a security firm? Where does he get the nerve to go against Mr. Lake?"...Although Sean's Optimus Security Services had caused a lot of trouble in Ocean City recently, few people knew what Optimus Security Services was capable of."Hmph! Aren't auctions where the highest bidder wins?"The Lake family is rich, but they're not the boss of Ocean City!"An old but vigorous voice rang in a corner of the auction, drawing everyone's attention.They thought it was rare enough to have someone like Sean who dared to challenge the Lake family. Unexpectedly, there was someone else.Sean also looked at the source of the voice and saw Michael sitting quietly in the corner, looking
"Tell your father? Forget about your father. We wouldn't be afraid of your grandfather even if he were still alive."Theodore scoffed, his tone disdainful.Sitting next to him, Michael looked calm, and the two seemed to have no regard for the Lake family, who was known as the top family of Ocean City."Mr. Lennon, just bid. If Curtis dares to do anything to you afterward, we'll get him!"Theodore ignored the sullen Curtis, looked at Sean, and said.After hearing this, Sean had an inexplicable smile and looked at Curtis, saying, "Since Mr. Lake bid 600 million, I'll add another 100 million!"With what Mr. Lake is worth, this mere 100 million shouldn't bother him."Looking at the smile on Sean's face, Curtis felt his anger boiling.Everyone there focused their gaze on Curtis. They all had different looks in their eyes as if to see whether the heir of the Lake family would continue to raise the price.Moon Lake Painting was only sold for 400 million back then, and now it had been
"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
