After hearing Sean's words, Michael, who made some movements originally, returned to his previous vegetative appearance."It will take some time for your body to return to its normal state. In the meantime, you can stay at Optimus Clinic for a while."I'll tell others I can't cure you and let Kennedy and Curtis enjoy their victory for a while before I knock them down from the top later."After Sean said that, Michael's eyelids moved as if he agreed with what Sean said.Seeing this, Sean's smile widened.Then, he pulled out the silver needles on Michael's body, opened the room door, and let Theodore and one discreet member of the Carver family into the room.After the two entered the room, both of them looked confusedly at Sean when they saw that Michael in the hospital bed still had no movements."Don't tell anyone what I'm telling you now!"Sean said.Seeing Sean so serious, Theodore and Theodore immediately nodded in agreement.Sean then said, "Old Master Carver is consciou
"Let's all go inside and see Old Master."The Carver family member said solemnly and then added a warning. "Keep quiet. Don't disturb him!"Then, the Carver family members entered the room.Sean had already left, leaving the pale Michael lying quietly in the hospital bed.Looking at their patriarch in such a state, the Carver family members were grieving. Many people were even weeping.The crowd tried hard to control their voices so as not to disturb Michael.A crowd of people gathered around the hospital bed, looking at Michael with slightly red eyes.Michael was already somewhat conscious, so he could naturally hear them. However, in order to help Sean's plan get carried out smoothly, he could only resist the desire to speak and lay quietly instead.Michael was glad to hear the sobs all around him.It was rare for an old man to be cared for by so many people in his family and even had them shed tears for him.Many families wished for the death of an old member of the family
"Dad, we received news!"Michael's condition seems to have stabilized, but he still hasn't woken up. He's most likely already a vegetable!"Curtis said excitedly.Kennedy took a sip of his tea and said with a smile, "There's no difference between a vegetable and a dead person."Do the four families think they can fight the Lake family because they joined hands?"Now that Michael is a vegetable, that should give the other three families pause for a while."Curtis also nodded in agreement and said, "Although we lost Maxwell and the rest, it's still worth it in exchange for turning Michael into a vegetable!"Now that Michael is a vegetable, Theodore, Jadon, and Sean won't be doing anything for a while!"The father and son looked at each other and smiled. Sean and the other three had sent Kennedy coffins during Kennedy's 50th birthday. Then, Optimus Security Services humiliated them at Lake Security Services' opening ceremony.Kennedy and Curtis had been down because of that. Now
"Mr. Lennon, the Winters family is protecting something that is said to be very important to them."The Winters family will gather all the security firms in Ocean City to bid for the task in two days."It probably won't be easy for you to get an appointment with Mr. Winters now..."Zander said.Sean nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Forget about it then. I just remember that he asked to have a drink together that day."Since he's unavailable, we'll talk about it when we're done with the task."Hearing that, Zander left the office.Neither Sean nor Zander had any concerns about whether Optimus Security Services would succeed in taking on the Winters family's task.Optimus Security Services was far stronger than a security firm should be.No one could find another security firm that could match Optimus Security Services in the country, not to mention Ocean City.As the days passed, the Lake family was busy recruiting new security firm members and did not give trouble to S
Willow was his soft spot. Whoever touched it would die.Sean got up slowly, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked in the direction of Lake Residence, and murmured, "Willow, I'll find you after I’m done with Ocean City."Knock, knock, knock!The knocking on the door brought Sean's distant thoughts back to reality."Come in!"Zander opened the door and entered, followed by Titus and Winnie.Entering the office, Zander immediately saw the armrest that Sean had crushed.His expression changed slightly, and he walked quickly to Sean's side, his face solemn.Before he could speak, Sean said, "It's okay."Then, he turned to both Titus and Winnie and asked them to sit down.Zander stood aside in silence, his eyes full of thoughts.The last time he saw Sean this angry was when Willow was kidnapped by Curtis and taken to Ocean City.Sean was probably angry again because something happened to Willow again.Zander knew that only things related to Willow could make Sean this an
"What's wrong? Do you need something?"Sean asked, glancing at Titus.Titus smiled and scratched his head. "I've asked everything my father told me, and now I want to invite you and Mr. Young to have a meal together and relax."Winnie nearby glanced at Titus and added, "We've known Mr. Lennon for a while now, but we haven't had a meal together. I wonder if you would like to join us, Mr. Lennon.""Okay, let's have a meal together."Sean nodded and agreed.When Sean agreed, Titus' smile widened. Even Winnie, who was always calm, also smiled.Sean and Zander sat in Titus' car.Winnie drove her car.The Ferrari and Porsche proved their wealth.Although they were not an heir apparent of the Lake family like Curtis, they were also the only children of the Lake family's second and third branches. They naturally had no lack of money.The two luxury cars were eye-catching, once again attracting a lot of discussion.The cars ended up at Greenview Hotel.With their statuses, Greenvie
"Forget it. Forget it. I won't push it you can’t tell. Ol' Winters, go back to work. Ask the kitchen to prepare our food faster!"Titus said with a wave of his hand.Mario answered in acknowledgment and left.To be honest, even Sean had taken a slight interest in the big client Mario was talking about.Mario was Fabian's younger brother. Although they were estranged, the two were still brothers whose blood was thicker than water.Even if the head of the Lake family, Kennedy, came to Greenview Hotel, he probably could not get Mario to do that—unless they were Jadon, who was very close to Mario.Although Mario was a mere manager of Greenview Hotel, no one in Ocean City dared to mess with him.Fabian behind him was enough to intimidate everything in Ocean City.Exquisite and expensive dishes were soon served."Mr. Young, eat more!"Titus bid Zander before adding, "Mr. Young, don't forget you promised to teach me some self-defense!"Zander glanced at him and said faintly, "When
"Since she's the mayor's daughter, why did she suddenly disappear from the public eye?"Zander asked, slightly interested.The sudden disappearance of the mayor's daughter at 12 was enough to interest anyone.Besides, Millie was a talented girl proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and poetry.After all, all Titus knew was what had happened before Millie was 12 years old.It showed that Millie had mastered piano, chess, calligraphy, poetry, and singing before she was 12.She must be very talented to master so many things at that young age."Hehe, that's a good question, Mr. Young!"Titus took a sip of wine and added, "When Millie became 12, it was the same year that Mr. Fabian Winters became mayor of Ocean City!"The day Millie supposedly disappeared was when Mr. Fabian Winters took office as mayor!"Ten years have passed, and the mayor's daughter, known as a prodigy, has reappeared in Ocean City!"Sean frowned slightly as Titus had been talking on and on about
"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
