"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
Optimus Security Services."Mr. Lennon, Crimson has been wiped out. None of Crimson's members survived."Zander said as he looked respectfully at Sean.Zander did not mention how he wiped out Crimson and only told Sean the result.Sean nodded slightly and said with a smile, "You must have had some luck in wiping out Crimson so quickly.""Yes! But I've found an opportunity to wake everyone up. I'm going to double the intensity of their training later."Zander answered with a chuckle.Sean nodded and said, "Not bad. Make them stronger as soon as possible. Our enemies will only get stronger. I don't want to see anyone die!"Have you made arrangements for the Lake family over the next two days?"Zander immediately replied, "I've informed everyone, but I can't contact the Quartz family. You might need to inform Jadon personally, Mr. Lennon.""Alright, I'll inform Jadon later."Okay, you can leave and rest after working all night."Sean said with a nod.Zander left the office, a
The heir of the Lake family, who had usually been arrogant to anyone, was speaking somewhat obsequiously to the middle-aged man before him. "Even Mr. Winters is here. The Lake family has developed so fast over the years that even Mr. Winters came to the Lake family's manor!""Look at the Lake family's influence now. Even Mr. Winters, who's at the peak of power in Ocean City, won't underestimate the Lake family!""Hehe, don't worry about Mr. Winters and the Lake family. Think about whether your birthday present today will impress the Lake family!"...Many Ocean City's dignitaries had gathered in the manor. They were currently discussing Mr. Winters in low voices.After having a little chat with Mr. Winters, Curtis led Mr. Winters to the manor and had him sit somewhere at the front."Uncle Winters, have a seat first. I'll ask my father to keep you company!"Curtis said.However, Mr. Winters smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Your father is the star today. How can you let the
"Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend my father's 50th birthday!"With everyone watching, Curtis walked up to the crowd and spoke, displaying a graceful demeanor that a noble heir should have."Mr. Lake, you're too kind. We naturally need to congratulate Old Master on his 50th birthday!""That's right. The Lake family has contributed a lot to Ocean City's development over the years. We should all congratulate him!""Hahaha, Old Master Lake is still as energetic as before. He doesn't look old at all! If you ask me, today isn't the birthday of an old man but a young man!"...Everyone flattered him, humbling themselves as they spoke.Hearing the compliments, Curtis smiled and said again, "My father's the star today. I won't steal his thunder!"With that said, Curtis stepped back, and the head of the Lake family, Kennedy Lake, went up to the crowd."I'm glad you could be here to celebrate my 50th birthday."My home is your home today. Let's all enjoy our
"Is that what Curtis bought you for your birthday? I can't accept that."It's just a piece of emerald. Old Master Lake, don't take it to heart. Everyone in Ocean City knows you like antiques and paintings. I won't take away what you love."I won't take Moon Lake Painting."Mr. Winters waved his hand and said with a smile.Kennedy froze slightly, looking a little anxious as if he wanted to say something, but Mr. Winters interrupted him with a wave.Kennedy said nothing more.With Mr. Winters' position, he could get anything he wanted.That imperial emerald and the Moon Lake Painting were precious to everyone else, but it was nothing much to Mr. Winters."The patriarch of the Willard family, Chester Willard, presents an emerald pendant and a pair of bracelets to Old Master Lake, wishing him happiness and a long life!"The chairman of Tiara Group, Benjamin Settler, presents a pair of antique vases for Old Master Lake, wishing him a long life!"The patriarch of the Xavier family,
Giving coffins was not a good gesture at any time.Today was the head of the Lake family—Kennedy's 50th birthday, but the four of them joined hands to give the head of the Lake family coffins.It was no doubt a slap in the face for the Lake family."Michael, Theodore, Jadon, and Sean are so brazen!""These three patriarchs never had problems with the Lake family, so why did they do this all of a sudden?""I don't know, but I have a feeling that Old Master Carver, Old Master Davis, and Mr. Quartz probably did this because of Sean!""Who is this Sean? How did he get these three patriarchs to do this with him?"...All the guests in Lake Residence looked confused, but some people who knew Sean's identity began to tell the people around them about Sean and Optimus Security Services.When everyone heard that Sean was just the owner of a security firm, everyone felt disbelief.The owner of a small security firm was able to get the patriarch of the Carver family, the patriarch of th
Everyone there had a clear idea of what was going on, so they all sat quietly in their places. No one got up.At Lake Residence's courtyard, Curtis, who came out first, looked hostilely at the four people before him.Sean stood at the front, while Michael, Theodore, and Jadon stood behind him.The three most famous patriarchs in Ocean City were standing behind Sean as if they were his sidekicks.Next to the four men stood four coffins as tall as men.The coffins were coarse, so you could tell they were cheap. The coffins were sent at this time purely to insult the Lake family."Sean! What are you trying to do?"Curtis glared at Sean and asked through clenched teeth.Although the Lake family was powerful, Ocean City's dignitaries sat in Lake Residence. Even with the Lake family's power, they could not shut everyone's mouth.Word about today was bound to get out, and soon everyone in Ocean City would know.Sean chuckled and said, "As you can see, we sent your dad coffins!"Hea
"Old Master Lake, you're indeed getting old. Don't you see the coffins beside us?"Sean looked at Kennedy and said with a smile.Kennedy gave him an intense glance and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?""Old Master Lake, it seems that you not only have bad eyesight but also bad hearing and memory."Didn't I just say I'm Sean Lennon, the chairman of Optimus Security Services, and brought you a coffin?"Sean said, patting the coffin beside him.Kennedy's face reddened as he trembled slightly with anger.Before Kennedy could speak again, someone else emerged from Lake Residence.Jadon's expression immediately changed at the sight of the middle-aged man. Even the expressions of Michael and Theodore, who were next to him, also changed slightly.Jadon stepped closer to Sean and whispered, "Don't mess with the middle-aged man."Sean glanced at the middle-aged man who had just emerged from Lake Residence and nodded slightly.In all his time in Ocean City, he had never heard of th
"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
