Sean spoke indifferently.Jadon and the rest followed and entered Lake Residence with Sean.The bodyguards Sean had knocked to the ground and the unharmed Thirteen Guardians gave a wide berth to Sean and the others.Perhaps no one besides the Thirteen Guardians knew more about what Sean was capable of doing. The seemingly harmless guy before them was terrifyingly strong."Weren't these losers arrogant earlier? Why aren't they arrogant now?" Titus taunted when he passed by the Thirteen Guardians.The burly man was not a fool and had already understood when he saw how the Thirteen Guardians were scared of attacking Sean. This young man was not one he could mess with.The Thirteen Guardians looked fearful of Sean.With the Thirteen Guardians and several bodyguards looking on in horror, Sean and the others swaggered into Lake Residence."Old Master Lake! Old Master Lake! We have a problem!"Soon after Sean and the rest entered Lake Residence, an anxious voice echoed through Lake R
"That's enough! Shut up, Titus!" Kennedy bellowed at Titus with an angry look.Titus raised his eyebrows and answered with a sneer, "Uncle Kennedy, is that how you talk to your nephew? Besides, won't I lose my dignity if I shut up because you tell me to?"Titus then looked sideways at Aaron, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Am I right, Dad?""Yeah, no matter how powerful Kennedy is, he can't touch the second branch!" Aaron said, playing along.The Lake family's second and third branches and Kennedy's family were already openly rebelling, so Aaron would not give Kennedy any face.Looking at the father and son echoing each other, Kennedy trembled with anger."Aaron! Trenton! Have you two forgotten that you're part of the Lake family? You allied with outsiders to attack Reason Group. Do you want to bring down the Lake family so much?" Kennedy snarled, casting a grim glance over Aaron and Trenton.Aaron smiled and nodded, saying, "Kennedy, Trenton, and I have been dreaming about bri
There was a flash of anger in Kennedy's eyes as he looked at the men who had put Reason Group in its current state now shamelessly offered to do business with him.Their actions were no different than humiliating Kennedy. There was no way he would not be mad."Old Master Lake, calm down. It's not too late to refuse until I'm done speaking."Sean chuckled and added, "Reason Group's market value is now less than 20 billion. If we continue pressuring you, Reason Group will go bankrupt tonight. You will then lose Reason Group, so we came to talk to you about selling us 40% of your shares in Reason Group."Kennedy's face reddened as fast as the naked eye could see it.With fury all over his face, he glared at Sean and growled, "Bullshit! Even if Reason Group goes bankrupt, I won't sell my shares to you! You're quite scheming to go after Reason Group together to plummet its market value and then buy my shares at a bargain price. Hmph! I'm telling you! Dream on! I would rather let my sha
Ring! Ring! Ring!The phone rang rapidly and piercingly in Kennedy's pocket. It sounded like it was a bell signaling the end.Kennedy, who had been wondering what Sean and the others would do, was startled by the sudden ringing. He suppressed his shock and immediately answered the phone."Old Master Lake! The Lake family's businesses are under attack!"A frantic male voice came from the phone as soon as the call connected.Kennedy shuddered when he heard that.The Lake family's first branch had many assets, and Reason Group was only one of their many businesses. However, 70% of their assets came from Reason Group. Even if they combined all the other businesses, they were incomparable to Reason Group.However, his men called to say that the Lake family's other businesses were also being attacked. Most of the Lake family's remaining assets were shops and buildings. If someone did create trouble with them, the effect could be immediate.Kennedy took a deep breath to calm himself d
"Everyone has his place. Although you're powerful in Ocean City, you're nothing compared with the Lake family from Janestown! Mr. Max Lake could crush you with the flick of his fingers!"With disdain in his eyes, Sean took out his phone and sent a text.Titus pretended to look fearful and stammered, "Oh, I'm so scared. I'm scared to death. Even the second heir of the Lake family from Janestown is here. We're doomed... Mr. Lennon, we're doomed! We have no chance against the Lake family from Janestown. What can we do?"Sean glanced at him and said indifferently, "Be normal. My disciple will be here soon. If she sees you like this, she'll probably beat you until you won't be able to get out of bed for three days."Titus suddenly turned serious, scared to behave whimsically like he just did.Jadon and the rest smiled at Titus' obedience.Someone had scared the unruly Titus, whom Ocean City dignitaries had always deemed a chaotic demon. If word about this ever got out, it would shock
Kennedy went to a room in Lake Residence. He knocked carefully on the door and asked softly, "Mr. Max Lake, are you awake?""The young master doesn't like to be disturbed when he's sleeping."Kennedy had just finished speaking when a somewhat old voice rang beside him.Kennedy was startled by the sudden voice. He immediately turned and looked at the speaker—a thin old man in a suit.He knew the old man. After Max arrived last night, this old man had been helping Max with his daily routine. Kennedy remembered that Max had called the old man Mr. Shay. Max did not treat Don Shay like a servant but more like an elder.Kennedy could not help but humble himself slightly as he thought of it.He looked at Don and said solemnly, "Mr. Shay, I didn't mean to interrupt Mr. Max Lake's rest. It's just that there were some short-sighted fools at Lake Residence who not only attacked the Lake family but also insulted him."Don's gaze grew solemn, and his old eyes glimmered coldly. Don stared col
Kennedy immediately said, "Mr. Shay, come with me! With you around, those guys who humiliated Mr. Max Lake will regret their actions today!"Kennedy generously praised Don, but Don did not respond. Don's eyes filled with intense malice that could erupt at any moment.Seeing that Don was uninterested in his flattery, Kennedy stopped embarrassing himself and obediently led the way for Don."My dear Brother Curtis, you look like a useless loser in your wheelchair. Hahaha! Oh, think about how arrogant you were before. You were in the limelight as you were called the first heir of Ocean City, but what about me? I can only live in your shadow, being called the second heir of the Lake family. Look, not only did you bully me, but Uncle Kennedy also bullied my dad. Even so, you and Uncle Kennedy never seemed to want to leave us alone."Before Kennedy could bring Don closer, he heard Titus' voice full of unbridled laughter.Kennedy's expression instantly changed as he quickened his pace imm
"Curtis, don't worry. I'll cure you! Whatever it takes, I'll get you back on your feet!" Kennedy stammered as he held Curtis.Curtis tried to hold back the tears that were about to fall from his eyes and nodded sadly. He knew his condition, and there was little hope that he could ever stand back up.Seeing Kennedy and Curtis so concerned about whether Curtis could stand back up, Titus' eyes glimmered. Titus turned to Kennedy and said, "Uncle Kennedy, don't complain that I don't care about Brother Curtis! I know a way to get him back on his feet!"With that said, Kennedy and Curtis looked at Titus with a tinge of hope in their eyes.Curtis gulped with difficulty before replying, "Hurry and tell me! If I can recover, I can forget what happened and will give way when I see you in the future!"The thought of spending the rest of his life in a wheelchair filled Curtis with despair. Rather than being confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life, Curtis would wipe the slate clean an
"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
