It was already late at night when the auction ended. When Michael and Theodore left Optimus Security Services, it was already midnight.Michael and Theodore left with excitement on their faces."Mr. Lennon, there won't be any accidents if we tell them about these plans, will there?"Zander asked, looking at Sean's back as they stood before the floor-to-ceiling window of the office.Sean looked away from the window and said with a smile, "If we can't even trust these two elders, we have no more friends in Ocean City."Zander fell silent at that, but there was still a faint hint of concern in his eyes."I know what to do. I need you and the boys to work hard tonight to get rid of those rats hiding in the dark."Sean said again as if sensing Zander's concern.Zander immediately nodded and said coldly, "It's just an assassin organization based in Ocean City that will be gone before dawn tomorrow."With that said, Zander turned around and left the office.Soon, there was the roar
"Mr. Lennon needs not a team of bodyguards, but a team of fighters who can destroy the enemy in battle!"We still have a long way to go with Mr. Lennon, and today's battle is your chance to prove your worth to Mr. Lennon!"Zander did not lower his voice so that all Optimus Security Services' members present could hear him.The crowd was silent, but a strange look flickered in everyone's eyes, and then they gradually became determined."Come on, let's meet these rats who dared to attack Mr. Lennon and see what they're really capable of!"Zander led the crowd deeper into the mountain valley.The group of Optimus Security Services members followed Zander in silence. They looked like a sharp sword thrusting into the darkness.A Maybach was parked quietly in a forest not far from the mountain valley.A man in a black suit was surveying the mountain valley with night-vision binoculars."Damn it. Are these guys from Optimus Security Services?"How did they know this was Crimson's ba
"Boss, there seems to be a group of people outside the base!"Inside Crimson's base, a member approached Bloodhand and told him about the abnormality outside.Bloodhand resting with his head on one hand and his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. A murderous aura flickered in him.His cold gaze fell on his subordinate, making the subordinate tremble slightly."Since we have guests, we'll show them Crimson's hospitality."Bloodhand waved his hand and added, "There's no need to tell me about such minor things. Crimson's base is perfectly fortified and almost impossible to break into."Boom!Bloodhand had barely finished speaking when there was a loud explosion, followed by an earthquake-like shaking.At that moment, the entire base trembled violently as if an earthquake had struck."Boss! This..."The subordinate was so shaken by the violent shaking that he fell on his bottom and looked at Bloodhand with a strange expression.Bloodhand's expression froze as he said with a c
"Huh? Are we bombarding the hill?"Daniel froze and continued asking, "We don't have much gunpowder left. How much do we have to bury?"Zander did the math before saying, "Bury them all. If this doesn't blow up the base, we can only fall back.""Okay!"Daniel answered before carrying the bags of gunpowder to the place Zander had pointed at and quickly dug a hole to bury the gunpowder.Leaving only a part of the detonator still exposed outside the dirt, Daniel pulled out a lighter and lit the fuse without hesitation.Sizz! Sizz! Sizz!There was a shrill noise, and all members of Optimus Security Services quickly retreated into the distance without Zander warning them.Although Daniel did not bury a lot of gunpowder, the effect was astonishing once it exploded.Boom!There was an explosion louder than before, and a flash of flame went up into the sky.Crimson's assassins heading outside the base from the passageway were knocked to the ground by the explosion.Before they real
Thud, thud, thud...Footsteps came from the passageway, and the breathing of Crimson's assassins became faster.It was taboo for assassins to panic. However, the Crimson's assassins, who did not know the number of their opponents, unconsciously magnified their fear infinitely."Come on, f*cking cheer up. Once you kill these people, you will get 200 thousand dollars each!"Bloodhand said through clenched teeth to calm his men.Everyone would get 200 thousand dollars each. There were 30 or so men there, and if they all survived, it would total up to 6 million dollars.Even with Bloodhand's fortune, he felt his heart ache if he had to take out 6 million dollars.However, he had already decided that as long as they could fend off the enemy this time, he would immediately go to Curtis and ask for more money.Bloodhand's loss and the upkeep of the base cost money.With the Lake family's wealth, Curtis would probably not argue with him about these 6 million dollars.While Bloodhand'
"If the Tatum family had only offered money, would you have attacked without that bastard Curtis' approval?"Bloodhand now realized that these people knew about Crimson Assassin Organization's relationship with Curtis."Since you know Mr. Lake is behind Crimson, how dare you come after us?"Aren't you afraid Mr. Lake will go after you afterward?"Bloodhand asked curiously.Even though he was an assassin and the person in charge of an assassin organization, he was afraid of Curtis, the heir of the Lake family.The fear was not about strength but status.The Lake family being called the top family of Ocean City was not for nothing."Curtis?"Let's see if he'll survive these two days. How is he coming after us?"Zander sneered and said with disdain.It was the 50th birthday of the head of the Lake family two days later. Sean had decided to surprise the head of the Lake family on his 50th birthday.The head of the Lake family's 50th birthday was no secret in Ocean City. You cou
"No wonder you are Crimson's leader. You indeed have some skills!"Zander exclaimed and changed the topic. "But if that's all you have, you'll soon be dead by my hands!""Bullshit! I'll see if you can still speak nonsense when I stab a dagger into your chest."Bloodhand took a step back and said as he stared at Zander.Zander smiled, and the dagger he was wielding suddenly became faster.It was the moment when he showed real strength.Bloodhand, who had felt death, was also instantly alert. Staring at the dagger in Zander's hand, he fought Zander's dagger with his own.Ding! Ding! Ding!The two daggers kept clashing, making clanging noises.For a moment, neither of them could do anything to the other, but Zander was still calm, while Bloodhand looked slightly tired as his breathing became heavier.The two seemed evenly matched, but it was Zander who gradually gained the upper hand."Brother Zander got into a fight with Bloodhand."Hurry up and get rid of this trash so we ca
"Since I won't survive today, you'll die with me!"Bloodhand's eyes were red, and he looked like a demon who had crawled out of hell.A dagger gleamed coldly as it stabbed Daniel with blinding speed.Daniel's expression changed at this. He understood the difference in his and Zander's strength and naturally knew Bloodhand was stronger than him."Daniel!""Watch out, Daniel!"Two of the Brown brothers who saw their eldest brother being targeted by Bloodhand also exclaimed.Facing Bloodhand's dagger, Daniel only felt that death had come for him, and he was about to die."How dare you attack my comrade in front of me. Aren't you underestimating me?"Ding!The next second, the dagger was stopped by another dagger, and Zander's impassive voice rang.Bloodhand's dagger was now within a finger's distance of Daniel's face. If Zander had been a second later, the dagger would have stabbed into Daniel's face."Whew..."Daniel heaved a sigh of gratitude and looked gratefully at Zander
"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
