"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
The auctioneer said with a beautiful smile.Then she raised the wooden gavel and slammed it down, declaring that Curtis had successfully won Moon Lake Painting with 700 million.As Curtis won Moon Lake Painting, everyone present looked at Curtis with somewhat inexplicable looks, which seemed confused or sarcastic."This damn thing is still threatening Mr. Lennon. I want to kill him on the spot!"Zander stared at Curtis coldly as if he were looking at a dead body.Sean said nothing else and only looked at the stage with a smile, waiting for the auctioneer to bring out the next lot.Curtis dared to kidnap Willow to Ocean City, which doomed him to be a dead man to Sean.Only by destroying everything he was proud of and letting him fall into the abyss of despair could he not get away so easily.The auctioneer quickly calmed down and brought out the next lot.Since Moon Lake Painting, Curtis did not bid again, and Sean naturally would not bid again.He was not interested in these
The auctioneer on stage also looked confused when she saw Jadon.However, she recovered in a flash. Then, she looked at Jadon with a smile and said, "What do you mean by that, Mr. Quartz?"Would Victory Auction House steal this artifact from the Quartz family?"Jadon's body trembled slightly, apparently angry at what the auctioneer had said."Hmph! You know better than anyone how you got this thing."I'm afraid even the venom bug in my body has something to do with Victory Auction House!"Jadon snorted coldly, already striding toward the stage as he spoke.Looking at Jadon getting closer, the auctioneer looked flustered.However, her panic was soon gone, replaced by intense outrage.She was the auctioneer of Victory Auction House, with the behemoth Victory Auction House behind her. She could not be intimidated by the head of an Ocean City family."Mr. Quartz, this is Victory Auction House's auction. We hope you won't do anything out of line!"The auctioneer warned coldly.J
With that said, Jadon walked straight off the stage and toward Sean.Looking in Jadon's direction, Wyatt also saw Sean and Zander, who were beside him.However, he did not know Sean and Zander's identity, so he did not think much of it. He only thought Jadon deliberately said that to intimidate him because he could not retrieve the artifact.No longer looking at Jadon, Wyatt waved the auctioneer away.Then, he glanced at everyone present and said indifferently, "Look, the royal seal in my hand is the artifact!"Although it used to belong to the Quartz family, a member of the Quartz family sold it to Victory Auction House for 300 million!"So it now belongs to Victory Auction House, not the Quartz family!"While saying that, Wyatt also looked at Jadon somewhat intentionally with contempt and disdain.As head of Victory Auction House, he did not need to take Jadon, the head of the Quartz family, seriously."Mr. Lennon, I broke my promise!"I returned to the Quartz family as soo
"The royal seal will be up for bidding in our auction at Janestown later."If you're interested, you may join that auction."Wyatt spoke again, interrupting the commotion at the venue.The dignitaries of Ocean City present were silent after hearing that.They were famous dignitaries in Ocean City, but they were nobodies in Janestown.Big shots gathered in every Victory Auction House's auction in Janestown. With their status and wealth, they could not compete with those big shots even if they got into the auction."Since Mr. Santiago has said so, the Lake family will be there when the auction in Janestown starts."While everyone was silent, Curtis suddenly said.Wyatt gave him a friendly nod and said, "I'll be waiting for you at Janestown, Mr. Lake.""Thank you, Mr. Santiago!" Curtis responded with a smile.Both knew that Curtis was no one to Wyatt, and their conversation was just an exchange of pleasantries."The auction at Ocean City is over!"On behalf of Victory Auction
"I'll avenge the Tatum family for you. We're in Ocean City. Sean alone can't turn the city upside down!"Christopher was relieved to hear that.He was an old man with one foot in the grave, and his only obsession was the Tatum family that Sean had destroyed. He was satisfied as long as he could get his revenge.On the other hand, Sean had just returned to Optimus Security Services when he learned that Theodore and Michael were waiting in his office.When he and Zander entered the office, Theodore and Michael were sitting on the couch in the reception area, drinking coffee."Mr. Lennon!"When Sean arrived, Theodore and Michael spoke in unison.Sean nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Why did you think of coming to me?""Oh, we saw you and Curtis having a conflict at the auction and came here to ask about it!"Theodore said with a smile.Sean responded, "If you want to know, I'll tell you."I'll fight the Lake family to the death!"Both Theodore's and Michael's expression
"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
