"If she’s your friend, she will still treat you as a friend no matter what you become."Willow had always been protective of her best friend."But I, Sean Lennon, used to have a lot of friends too."After my downfall, weren’t you the only one who stayed by my side, taking care of me and never forsaking me?"Sean held out his hand slowly and fixed Willow's hair as he spoke."Never forsaking... Don't be ridiculous."I'm just helping you because you can't take care of yourself."Willow shook her head, shook Sean's hand away, and blushed.She thought the term "never forsaking" should be used in a romantic relationship, not her relationship with Sean."Didn't you agree to be my girlfriend?"What's the matter? Are you going back on your word after getting off the hot air balloon?"Sean deliberately teased Willow as he laughed."What... what I meant was that I'll think about it when you get back on your feet, okay?"Not now."Willow dried Sean's feet with her head down. Then she
Sean remembered everything he owed Willow.A lavish proposal ceremony and a grand wedding were nothing.Sean knew these were not what Willow needed either.If Willow were a gold-digger, she would not have wasted two years of her life on Sean.Willow needed companionship too.Sean remembered what Willow said to him when he first regained consciousness.She envied other people's boyfriends shopping with their girlfriends.She just wanted someone to support her world and her family with her.She did not have many demands.However, it was a luxury before Sean could get up on his feet.However, now that Sean was about to recover, all the things Willow wanted were about to come true.Whether big or small, easy or simple, Sean would do it....The next day.Bennett Corporation headquarters.Shane and Jay were smoking cigarettes in their office with heavy dark circles under their eyes.They did not sleep well last night, tossing and turning.It was as if they were awaiting som
"Mr. Bennett, there are a dozen people downstairs."They are all representatives of our suppliers. They're asking for payment."The female secretary reported in a panic as she spoke."Oh? Is that so?"Shane sneered when he heard that.It seemed Sean had started!However, the same tactic again?He did the same thing last time. How could a cunning old fox like Shane not be prepared for this?"We haven't reached their payment deadline. What's the hurry?"I had someone tamper with the payment terms when we signed the contract."The payment won't be due until at least a month later."So there's nothing to worry about."Shane sneered and leaned back in his office chair as he waved his hand nonchalantly."Mr. Bennett, but the payment date on the contract is due..."The secretary shook her head slightly and said as she looked at Shane."What?"Shane froze instantly."That's impossible! I instructed Mr. Winston, who is in charge of signing the contract."Did he fail at his job
Shane slowly answered the call with a grim face."Could the Bennett family withstand this?"Sean's voice rang again on the phone."You! You!"Shane was so furious his blood boiled. His hands shook as he held the phone."I can withstand this!Shane clenched his hands and replied through clenched teeth."Very well."Sean hung up again without further ado.Bang!Shane was still not pleased after slamming the handset onto its base. He grabbed the base and ripped off the phone cable.He finally stopped after throwing the whole phone onto the ground and smashing it to pieces.He did not even want to take Sean's calls right now.Sean was like a god watching them make a fool of themselves from above.It made Shane angry and a little scared."Mr. Bennett, what do we do…"The female secretary asked again as she looked at Shane with trepidation in her eyes."Hmph!"Find Trusty Bank's Xavier Leeman."I have been friends with him for years. Ask him to lend us some money first."
"Ah! F*ck off! F*ck off!"Shane was speechless for a moment before jumping to his feet and yelling like a madman.Could you withstand this?Could the Bennett family still withstand this?That sentence was like a curse that Shane could not get rid of.In a fit of rage, Shane broke down, went around the desk, and kicked the security guard hard.He took his anger out on the security guard.However, the security guard, who normally would not even hold his head up in front of him, only snorted coldly and pushed Shane aside."You! How dare you lay a hand on me? I'm your boss!"Shane yelled as he glared at the security guard with wide eyes."Pay me my salary if you're my boss."What kind of boss are you if you delay our salary payment?"Try not paying us today!"The security guard, usually the lowest rank in the company, had released his pent-up feelings.It was not that they were hitting them when they were down. It was just that Shane's everyday behavior really made them resen
"Mr... Mr. Lennon, I can't take it anymore! I give up! I give up!"Tell us what you want. As long as you can spare the Bennett family, whatever you say goes."Shane gritted his teeth and started begging."If you can't withstand this, let it go."Someone from Reach For Will Group will come to you later to take over."Sean was about to hang up after he finished speaking.Shane finally realized that Sean was indeed involved with Reach For Will Group.What Sean meant was that he wanted the Bennett family's business to be acquired by Reach For Will Group!"Do you want to ruin us, Mr. Lennon?"Shane gritted his teeth slightly and shouted into the phone."Do you want me to ruin you?"Do you know Charles Christian?"Sean asked calmly with a faint smile.Shane froze. He had no idea why Sean had suddenly mentioned Charles.Charles was a famous gangster in River City. Anyone knew him."Yes, isn't he dead?"Shane asked into the phone with a slight frown."Do you know how he died?"
The Quinn Residence was in dead silence. Everyone's eyes widened in shock.They all felt that they had heard it wrong and that they must be dreaming right now.No one spoke. Everyone’s head was buzzing.“Hsss!”After a while, Old Madam Quinn was the first to react and then took a breath.“What did you say?“Is this true?“The Bennett family went bankrupt?”Old Madam Quinn widened her eyes and asked Samuel.Samuel nodded, took a deep breath, and spoke to Old Madam Quinn.“Old Madam Quinn, it's absolutely true.“Mr. Bennett has personally held a press conference to officially declare bankruptcy.“And, he has also applied for bankruptcy protection. I think their capital chain should be seriously ruptured.”When the Quinn family heard this again, their hearts sank.Although the Bennett family's businesses were not as good as the Quinn family's, it was also a large enterprise with assets of ten million.They just went bankrupt now?“Sean Lennon! Was it really Sean who did
“Old Madam Quinn, I think what we did before was a bit too extreme.“No matter what Sean did or said, or even some things we’ve seen with our own eyes, we still stubbornly refuse to believe him.“We all think that Sean definitely doesn't have the ability to handle things well, so we’re not willing to accept the fact that Sean is capable.“I think it's time for us to change our mindset?”When the middle-aged man said the words, the Quinn family went silent.Each of them knew in their hearts if it was so.“Hmm…“Even if what's happening in the Bennett family is really related to Sean, I don't think it proves anything.“Young Master Zimmer can easily do these things as well, so in my heart, the Zimmer family is more capable.”Samuel frowned and pondered for a few seconds. He still insisted on his own thought.However, no one refuted what he said.Even if Sean was somewhat capable, he was definitely not comparable to the Zimmer family.However, the middle-aged man, who was a br
"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
