"Settle them," Sean said quietly.Jadon and the rest immediately stepped forward, dragging Kennedy and Curtis outside Lake Residence."What are you doing? I'm the heir of the Lake family! You'll die for touching me!"Theodore grabbed Curtis by the collar as he struggled and screamed like he had lost his mind. He knew he probably would not live until the next day if they brought him away.Kennedy looked helpless as he had given up struggling. It seemed he had accepted his reality and stopped resisting. He knew Sean and the others would never spare him. Instead of humbly begging for mercy right before dying, he might as well be a little more dignified. They were going to die either way, so he might as well save some pride."Mr. Lennon, since you destroyed the Lake family's first branch, you're done with Ocean City, right?" Crystal asked as she looked at Sean.Sean nodded slightly, glancing at the members of the Lake family's first branch in the corner, who were observing him.The
Jadon and the rest fell silent. They knew Sean was leaving Ocean City."I wonder where you're going after leaving Ocean City?" Jadon asked.Sean answered with a smile, "I'll tell you about it later, but probably Janestown. People are waiting for me there."The crowd did not ask anything more.Then, Theodore said with a smile, "Now that Kennedy and Curtis and the Lake family's first branch ended up like this, we have no rivals in Ocean City. Mr. Lennon, you can rest assured that we'll take good care of your businesses in Ocean City."Sean did not have a lot of businesses in Ocean City, only Optimus Security Services, Optimus Clinic, and the newly founded Optimus Charity. Sean would only take Optimus Security Services with him when he left Ocean City.During their time at Ocean City, Optimus Security Services had considerably improved under Zander's training. Although incomparable to sects with long histories, members of Optimus Security Services were strong compared to the average
Sean then bid goodbye to Jadon and the rest and headed to Winters Residence with Crystal.Sean had not notified the Winters family of his coming, so no one went out to greet him and Crystal when they arrived at Winters Residence.When they got out of the car, Crystal said with a smile. "Mr. Lennon, I'll knock on the door!"Regardless of Sean's reaction, she walked toward Winters Residence. Only Sean could make the heiress of the Yorker family knock on a door for him.Bang! Bang! Bang!Winters Residence's door was knocked on, and a servant soon opened it.The servant looked at Crystal and asked, "Who are you?"Crystal glanced at him and said, "Tell Fabian it’s me.""How dare you? Do you know that the head of the house is the mayor of Ocean City? He's not someone you can call by his first name!"The servant's expression changed before adding, "Many dignitaries in Ocean City need to make an appointment in advance to see him. How dare you ask the head of the Winters family to see
Fabian soon followed the servant to Winters Residence's entrance.Upon meeting Sean, Fabian immediately said, "Mr. Lennon! Why didn't you inform me earlier? I could have greeted you immediately."Sean waved his hand and replied with a smile, "Mr. Winters is the mayor of Ocean City. Who am I to make you wait for me? By the way, I'm not the one who wanted to see you; it's her."Fabian also looked in the direction Sean had pointed. When he saw Crystal next to Sean, shock filled Fabian's face."M-Ms. Yorker, what brings you here?" Fabian's voice trembled.Crystal glanced at him and said coldly, "My aunt married you regardless of the family's opposition. But you failed to protect her. Someone even went after her ashes after she died. Aren't you going to give the Yorker family an explanation?" Crystal's voice was as icy as the winter wind.Fabian answered with a bitter smile, "What happened back then was beyond my control... I know the Yorker family has had a lot of opinions about me o
Fabian led Sean and Crystal into Winters Residence."I didn't expect you to be so influential in Ocean City! You're better than the Winters family's in-laws like me!" Crystal said with a smile.Sean smiled and shook his head, saying, "You didn't say who you were. Otherwise, won't the Winters family's servants welcome you warmly after knowing who you were?""Haha, Mr. Lennon, you know I'm not in the habit of telling others about my identity."Crystal chuckled before adding, "If it weren't for my aunt, I wouldn't even have knocked!"Sean only showed a helpless smile.Fabian, who was walking in front, heard their conversation and smiled helplessly. However, he was shocked when Crystal called Sean Mr. Lennon.As the heiress of the Yorker family, the proud Crystal was so well-behaved in front of Sean. If anyone from Janestown people saw this, their jaw would drop. The Yorker family's domineering eldest daughter had never behaved like that in front of others."Dad, who's that?" Milli
"My grandpa has been longing to see you. I think he would be pleased if you visited."Millie immediately nodded and replied, "I've always wanted to visit my mother's family, but my father refused to take me. Now that I've met you, I can just tell you whenever I want to visit!"With that said, Millie took Crystal's arm. As the heiress of the Winters family, Millie was not shy with strangers. Since Crystal was so polite to her, Millie would not be reserved."That's easy. You can tell me anytime you want to visit Janestown or the Yorker family. I'm quite influential in Janestown! If anyone bullies you, I'll help you teach them a lesson!" Crystal said with a smile.Fabian had an odd expression when he heard Crystal complaining about him, but he did not say much. He was happy to see Millie and Crystal get along.Sean, who was walking behind them, also smiled. Then, Sean said, "Mr. Winters, is Cynthia feeling better?"Fabian paused, turned around to look at Sean, and replied with a smi
"Kennedy and Curtis had been punished, so I have nothing left to do in Ocean City. It's time for me to move on," Sean said with a smile.Fabian nodded before saying solemnly, "Is there anything I can do to help?""It's all right. Jadon and the rest will take care of the Lake family."Sean shook his head before adding, "If Jadon and the rest are in trouble, I hope you can help them out, Mr. Winters. You'll also need to look after Optimus Charity, which Millie runs."Instead of refusing, Fabian agreed. "Don't worry, Mr. Lennon. Mr. Quartz and the others will be needed for Ocean City's future development. I'll give them a hand if they encounter any trouble. And don't worry about Optimus Charity. My daughter runs Optimus Charity. I won't stand by and do nothing."Sean and Fabian smiled at each other.Sean got up suddenly and said, "You can check while I check on Cynthia."Millie also got up immediately and said with a smile, "Mr. Lennon, I'll take you!"Sean did not reject her offe
"My cousin came. She has a good temperament. My mother has never seen her family since she married my father. It's time for her to return to her roots," Millie said immediately as if reading Cynthia's mind.Cynthia was adopted by the Winters family as a child and was two years older than Millie. She had vague memories of how kind Millie's mother was to her. Hearing that someone was going to take Millie's mother's ashes, Cynthia naturally thought something bad was happening. However, she was relieved to hear Millie's words."Take off your mask. I'll leave Ocean City in a few days, so I'll give you your final treatment today," Sean said.Cynthia immediately removed the mask from her face. After this period of recuperation, Cynthia's face which was covered with hideous scars was now much better than before. The scars that had been frightening were now so faint that they were barely noticeable unless you looked closely."Sit here," Sean said.Cynthia immediately sat on the stone bench
"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
