Rachel's voice broke, and her eyes filled with tears as she mentioned this.Willow and Lexie looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.In all the years they had known Rachel, they had never seen her cry.Rachel's character had always been like a tomboy, she never cried.However, Rachel's eyes were red and moist as her body shook uncontrollably just talking about him.It was enough to prove how important that man was to her!"Rae, don't feel bad. He must be recovering somewhere."He'll be back when he's better."Willow and Lexie got up and patted Rachel on the back, softly reassuring her."I believe that too."Because there's absolutely no one in this world who can bring him down."But two years have passed, and the Northwest frontier is critical as we're losing battles one after another."If he knew, he wouldn't have ignored it because he loved Dragon Kingdom so much."Every soldier's life matters to him. If he's still alive..."How could he not show up
"Pinch you?"Willow was slightly stunned."Yes! Pinch me!"Rachel's eyes widened. She thought she must be dreaming.Who did she see?She saw the powerful and formidable man in the Northwest Army!The god-like man.That year, he led millions of soldiers to guard the borders.He crushed the northern clan and southern dynasty with one hand.He was like a huge mountain, unmovable from all directions and insurmountable.His domination, grace, military prowess, strategies...Scenes of the past floated before her eyes.Rachel still remembered it so clearly.Two years ago, Sean was in the tower, mobilizing his troops.He stood alone in the tower, wearing the Nine-star Armor and holding the Guardian Sword.There were millions of people below, all looking up to Sean.The powerful and domineering aura left a deep imprint in Rachel's heart.Risking her head, Rachel quietly pulled out her phone and snapped a photo of Sean's profile.It was the first time she worked up the courage
"No!"Rachel looked at Willow and spoke sternly.She reacted so strongly that it was as if she was afraid Willow would not believe her."What the f*ck. So you don't know each other. Why did you react so strongly?"Slightly speechless, Lexie could not help groaning."Of course!"What I do is sensitive information. Not just anyone can know me."Alright, you guys. You and Willow can go out first. I'll talk to him alone."Rachel took a deep breath and slowly sat on the chair."Rae, I told you."I know. Will you stay out of it?"Willow was helpless. She thought Rachel was trying to get Sean to leave Willow."Yeah, Rae, let's just leave it."Lexie glanced at Willow and smoothed things over.Lexie had a good impression of Sean after spending time with him these days.Especially after their time at Blue Bay Club. Herbert and the others all got cold feet, but Sean got up and let them leave first. It impressed Lexie."We're besties! Your business is my business."If you want me
In particular, Rachel and Zander had witnessed Sean's meteoric success and could not accept his current predicament.Rachel could imagine how any outsider like them felt about Sean's situation.As the party involved, how would Sean feel then, compared to them?"Get up."It's bad if Willow sees this."Sean shook his head slightly and motioned at Rachel to get up again."Yes..."Rachel replied in acknowledgment before standing up with some reluctance."How much do you know about that year?"Sean went straight to the point as he looked at Rachel and asked."Commander, we have not heard from you since your last battle."The higher-ups explained to us that you had been badly wounded and needed to rest and leave the army for a while."But your men didn’t listen. They even defied imperial orders for you."Rachel stood up straight and briefed Sean carefully."And then?"Sean nodded slightly.Zander told him roughly the same thing, but not in too much detail.As an intelligence
The joy was like her boyfriend had gotten her friends and family's approval. It made her elated."Alright, alright, let's stop talking."Let's go out for a meal. They called me earlier. Our classmates are waiting for you."I just don't know who spread the word that Rae is back."Lexie checked her phone and told the others."I did."Then let's go."Rachel waved her hands. Willow and Rachel were not surprised.After all, Rachel was more outgoing than they were, so she made more friends....Outside the door.A car had been waiting for a long time.Willow, Lexie, and Rachel were in the back, while Sean was in the front passenger seat."Rae, where are we going to eat?"Sammy just called and told us to hurry over. I forgot to ask where."Lexie checked the time and asked Rachel."I think it's some Lakeside Hotel?"Unsure, Rachel pulled out her phone and looked at the map."Riverleaf Lakeside Hotel?"Lexie froze before quickly asking."Yes, yes! That's it, Riverleaf Lakesi
"Brother Wade, Sean was so arrogant in front of you last time."You must regain your pride no matter what this time."Demi immediately sat down next to Wade and said with a charming smile."What's the matter? You have a grudge against Sean too?"Wade was no fool, and he could see that Demi seemed to pick on Sean each time."Of course, anyone against Brother Wade is against me."Demi gave Wade a look, and Wade instantly got it."We'll talk again this evening."Wade chuckled and said in Demi's ear."Then I'll wait for you, Brother Wade."Demi squirmed and reached out to pat Wade on the knee.Wade was full of joy."Sean's so full of himself just because he has some money."Today, I'm going to show him that power is more important than money in this society!"In the face of absolute power, his money is nothing."Wade flicked his wrist. His new luxury watch sparkled in the light."Brother Wade, you're amazing!"Sean is nothing compared to you."Hey, is that cripple Sean ev
"Please calm down and wait for a moment."The waiter dared not say anything more."Got it. You can leave."Wade waved his hand. Then the waiter only nodded and left the private room.The waiter's respectful attitude toward Wade once again shocked Demi and the others.It looked like Wade had made it!The crowd's enthusiasm for Wade grew as they thought of it."Mr. Yancey, your guest is here."Shortly afterward, there was a knock on the private room door, and the waiter led several people inside.It was Sean, Willow, Rachel, and Lexie."Oh! Rachel!""It's really Rachel. I didn't believe it when they told me just now.""Rae, hurry over and sit here! I missed you so much!"Rachel was really popular.Regardless of whether they were only friendly on the surface, at least the private room was lively now.Even Demi got up and said hello to Rachel.Firstly, Rachel did get along well with everyone else at school.Secondly, Rachel's status towered over all of them.The Summers f
Everyone froze. Why did they have a feeling that Rachel was extremely protective of Sean?They did not expect it, but they were not surprised.Rachel had always liked to defend her friends, but she had only known Sean for a few minutes, and she was already protective of him.Sean scowled slightly and glanced back at Rachel.Willow would be suspicious if it were too obvious.Rachel caught Sean's glance and immediately came to herself before slowly lowering her head.She just heard someone taunting Sean and subconsciously wanted to scold them without thinking it through.However, it was inappropriate now that she thought about it."Rachel, you don't know."Sean followed Willow here to freeload a meal the last time."He ended up flipping a table, almost costing me a fortune to compensate the hotel."What I meant is I'm afraid he'll flip the table again today. He's a big shot after all."Wade chuckled, his face full of disdain."If you force me to flip the table, I can do it a
"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
