"Hehe, Brother Lennon, don't look at me like that. I'm shy. I'm the heir to the Lake family's second branch after all. Isn't it normal that I know about the Winters family's affairs?" Titus said sheepishly as he scratched his head.Sean rolled his eyes and snapped, "If you can focus and study more about your family, Kennedy and Curtis won't be able to suppress the Lake family's second branch. How dare you say that when Kennedy and Curtis can bully the second and third branches like this?"Kennedy was in charge of the Lake family's first branch and was the head of the Lake family in Ocean City.However, in terms of abilities, the Lake family's first branch was slightly stronger than the Lake family's second and third branches at best.If the Lake family's second and third branches joined hands to resist Kennedy, he would not have been able to bully them."We can't help it! It's unknown what that old geezer, Kennedy, has done. The Lake family in Janestown only acknowledges him. He e
"Tell me where you're from and who sent you."Sean nonchalantly sat on the couch and said as he looked at the man.The man's body shuddered. Though his eyes filled with fear, he did not speak.Sean raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Good, I like tough guys who don't like to talk!"With that, Sean slowly picked up the steel tray at his feet and pulled a dagger out of it.The daggers were of good quality. Even though they were thrust into the steel tray, it did not appear to curl or blunt.Sean tossed the steel tray aside and played with the dagger in his hand.The word "Darkness" was engraved on the blade, indicating where these men were from."You're funny to engrave the organization's name on your weapons. Aren't you telling people that you're from Darkness? Or has Darkness evolved to the point where you don't need to be secretive?" Sean said with a smile as he looked at the man.Although Sean spoke with a smile, it looked demonic to the man, and it struck fear into
Titus jumped off the couch when he heard the man's statement.He looked at the man in disbelief and asked, "Are you sure that you were sent to kill me?" And was a member of the Lake family in Janestown who asked you to kill me?"The man nodded noncommittally."Who the f*ck have I offended? I can't believe the Lake family in Janestown sent someone to kill me. It pisses me off. Brother Lennon, when are you going to Janestown? I'll go with you! I want to see who's trying to kill me!" Titus fumed.He never had any contact with the Lake family in Janestown, and having Darkness hunt him for no apparent reason was something Titus could not accept.Sean glanced at him and asked with a smile, "Aren't you being silly? We had just fallen out with Kennedy, and Darkness came to Ocean City. It's mostly because of Kennedy. Who else besides Kennedy and Curtis would want to kill you? I don't suppose the Lake family in Janestown has enough free time to think about you."Titus also calmed down and
"The faction I'm in is the Battle Faction. I'm the leader of the 16th team, and these men are my subordinates. There are 20 teams like us in the Battle Faction. The Battle Faction is mainly responsible for completing missions the organization issued, but I don't know what other factions are responsible for."Sean nodded in reply.He could tell that the guy was not lying.Although the information he provided was simple and even rudimentary, Sean learned a lot of useful information.It was still unknown why Blaze created Darkness.However, Darkness had developed extremely fast over the years under Blaze's leadership. There were eight factions, and the Battle Faction alone already had 20 teams with five members each, which totaled up to 100 people. There were eight factions. Whether there were more or fewer people in other factions, Darkness would have more than 800 people if all eight were the same size as Battle Faction.That did not include any backup or replacement members Darkn
"W-What?"Hearing Titus' answer, Peter's expression changed as he instantly looked at Titus.Titus pointed to the dagger on the couch in the private room and said coldly, "I sat there earlier, and the guy who brought me the wine suddenly came at me with a dagger. If it weren't for Brother Lennon, I'd be dead now! F*ck, isn't Black Gold Bar supposed to be the most secure bar in Ocean City? How could such a thing happen?"No one would feel good for almost getting killed.Titus knew that the five assassins from Darkness had come for him and had struck at Black Gold Bar only because he had come to Black Gold Bar.However, that did not stop Titus from picking on Peter or Black Gold Bar.Although he was not as important as Crystal, the owner of Black Gold Bar, he was still the heir of the Lake family's second branch. Few people in Ocean City dared to mess with him."Well... Why don't you wait for me while I consult our boss, Mr. Lake?" Peter asked cautiously.It was a matter of life
Peter stood outside Sky Room 1 and knocked on the door respectfully. It was as if he was afraid that knocking too loudly would disturb the people inside."Come in!" A melodious female voice rang.Trembling slightly, Peter hurriedly opened Sky Room 1's door and walked in carefully."What is it?" The female voice rang again.Only one person was sitting in the huge Sky Room 1, and it was a beautiful woman.She looked like she was in her mid-20s but was far more mature and stable than her peers.Such maturity and stability should be incompatible with the woman's appearance, but these two things that should be contradictory seemed to go well with the woman. No one could find any fault with them. This woman was the Yorker family's eldest daughter, Crystal Yorker.She was also the owner of Black Gold Bar.Peter hung his head low, not daring to look at the woman before him. He kept staring at his feet."Miss... Five waiters were knocked unconscious in the washroom tonight. The peopl
"Do you know the man's name?" Crystal asked, frowning.Peter immediately said, "Titus calls him Brother Lennon, but I think his name is Sean Lennon if I remember correctly."An excited light suddenly burst in Crystal's bright eyes.Sean Lennon was a familiar yet unfamiliar name."Let's go! Take me to him!"Crystal immediately got up and headed out of the private room.Peter was also dumbfounded to see this. He dared not think much about it and followed Crystal.With Peter leading the way, they soon arrived at Sky Room 2.Before Peter could knock on the door, Crystal suddenly asked, "Peter, how do I look today? Do I look like a tomboy?"Peter looked confused.He was scared to look at Crystal, fearing his gaze would make her think he was observing her.After all, with Crystal's identity, she only had to say one word, and Peter would probably disappear the next day."I asked you a question," Crystal added when Peter was silent.Peter bit the bullet and looked at Crystal.Cry
"This is the owner of Black Gold Bar..." Peter said to Titus and Sean.Titus nodded slightly before looking with a bright glow in his eyes at Crystal, who was walking behind Peter.As the heir of the Lake family's second branch, he had seen many beautiful women, but no one could compare with the heiress of the Yorker family.Whether their looks, figure, or temperament were comparable to Crystal's.Even Titus could not help feeling humble when facing Crystal.Suddenly, another figure occurred to Titus.She was as beautiful as the heiress of the Yorker family but only slightly worse in terms of temperament.That woman was none other than Willow.In terms of looks, Willow was the only woman Titus had ever met who could compare to the heiress of the Yorker family."Miss, this is Mr. Titus Lake. This is Mr. Sean Lennon."Peter said again to Crystal behind him.However, he did not expect a fragrant breeze to pass by him just after he finished speaking. Even his carefully styled ha
"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
