Even if they knew that many companies present today had stronger financial resources than them.That was how humans were.Even if you knew you could not defeat your opponent, you still wanted to try.“The starting price for the development rights of this piece of land is twenty million!”“For those who’re interested, you can start bidding now!”The moment the beautiful woman in a long gown finished speaking, someone immediately stood up and raised their paddle to bid.“22 million!“Add five hundred, 27 million!“30 million!”“32 million!”“Add three hundred, 35 million!”In an instant, the atmosphere at the scene had reached its climax.Countless people made their bid, regardless of gender or age. Everyone was excited.At this time, money was like nothing to all these developers.When someone increased the price by two million, the next person directly increased the price by five million!Everyone was bidding against each other. Nobody would budge an inch.For the sake
“And I’ve already negotiated with the River City army that I’ll build a base for them on this piece of land.“They could assign some soldiers to be stationed in the city so that the safety of River City can be assured.”As soon as Jon finished speaking, everyone fell into silence.The boss who bid 70 million also kept his head down in dejection.They all understood what Jon meant.He was name-dropping the relationship he had with the army, trying to suppress the others!In this way, everyone had to consider what would happen if they offended Jon.Everyone wanted to make money.However, you had to be alive to spend it after earning it!“I give up!”Mr. Waylon, who had bid 70 million, shook his head and gave up.Others, likewise, were silent.However, they were very dissatisfied.It was all about money in an auction, the highest bidder won.If everyone bid normally, none of them would be dissatisfied at all.However, Jon actually name-dropped his relationship with the Rive
100 million!It was 100 million!If all these were converted into cash, how tall would the stack of cash be?Among these people, there were many billionaires.However, it did not mean that any billionaire could come up with 100 million in cash.For example, the Zimmer family's total assets were not only hundreds of millions but a few hundreds of millions.However, most of it was immovable property and it would definitely take a lot of time to convert it into cash.Sean called out a price of 100 million, which shocked everyone present to the point of being speechless.At this time, everyone's eyes widened, they felt that they must have heard it wrong.Even the beautiful woman in a long gown on the stage was stunned on the spot, forgetting to speak.The microphone in her hand trembled with her palm.“H-how much did he bid just now?”Jon frowned and asked Quill who was next to him.“100 million.”Quill also just reacted and quickly replied.Jon was stunned.What surprised
Everyone was discussing what was happening, and the more they discussed it, the more terrified they were.It turned out that Sean was just Willow’s fiancé, he was not the grandson-in-law of the Quinn family yet.Was this his background?Could it be that he came to bid today because he was instructed by the Quinn family?That being said, it was impossible because the Quinn family specialized in the medicinal supplies business, so it had nothing to do with real estate.Besides, even if it was the Quinn family, they could not easily come up with 150 million.Hence, this matter must have nothing to do with the Quinn family.Since it had nothing to do with the Quinn family, what did Sean, a vegetable cripple, had gone through to become what he was now?He could come up with 150 million without even batting an eye?When everyone was discussing, Jon was even more annoyed.Originally, in his heart, Sean was not worthy of being the Zimmer family's opponent and he always treat him with
"Commander..."Zander exclaimed quietly next to Sean.Sean said nothing but reached out and tapped the arm of his chair.No one but Zander knew that Sean's real purpose today was to give the land to the Zimmer family.Few people knew whether the land everyone was after was something profitable or troublesome.Sean wanted the Zimmer family to have it, but he would not let them have it easy.The more the Zimmer family wanted it, the more Sean wanted to find a way to make the Zimmer family put in more effort.For example, Sean would raise the price as much as possible to get the Zimmer family to pay as much as possible.In that way, they would have problems with their capital chain. If Sean wanted to destroy the Zimmer family, the first thing he needed to do was to destroy their capital chain."I'll offer 200 million dollars."Sean mused for a few seconds before muttering."What?"Zander was startled.He knew that 200 million was nothing to Sean.However, he knew that Sean w
A hush fell over the crowd.Did Sean say that the 100 million dollars that the Zimmer family had spent was just interest?Did that mean that Sean did not plan on letting them go? Did he want them to pay an even higher price?Everyone was perplexed.What was the origin of this man named “Sean Lennon”?One, he had no background; two, he did not own a company or properties, and yet he could spend tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars.The more mystery that shrouded this man, the more others feared and respected him.At that moment, Sean was an extremely mysterious person.Thus, even with so many wealthy people present who wanted to curry favor with the Zimmer family, none of them dared to speak up against Sean.“Fine, I’ll wait.”Quill gritted his teeth and scoffed in reply.The auction had come to an end, yet the audience did not rush to leave because the auction’s highlight had just begun.There was nothing impressive about having the guts to make a bid. T
Jon and Quill raged silently, but they could do nothing but endure it.The affluent folks of River City were just sitting there in amusement as they enjoyed the show.Previously, Jon had made a show of claiming that Sean did not have the money and was just putting on an act of driving up prices.In the end, Sean had made his payment easily.When it came to the Zimmer family, however, they kept dawdling and were unable to make their payment. It was incredibly ironic.Everyone had thoughts of their own within their hearts. As for the winner of today’s auction, the crowd had already passed their judgment.Jon was enraged but he knew he could not start a fight with Zander right now.The most important thing was to quickly settle the issue at hand."The total payment is 255 million. I can pay 200 million first. For the remaining 55 million, I will pay 60 million with interest after three days. Zimmer Corporations is right here, do you think I can run away?”Jon spoke through gritte
“Business or battlefields, their essence is the same.”Sean picked up his cup and slowly took a sip once he finished speaking.“I’ll get the job done, Commander.”Zander took a deep breath and nodded seriously at Sean.“Okay! I’ll head back first. Willow said she’s waiting to have dinner with me.”Sean smiled gently, put down his cup, then turned to leave the office.“Yes!”Zander and Harry sent him off respectfully.As he watched Sean leave, Zander had a complicated look in his eyes.“Say, Brother Zander, doesn’t he seem like the type of guy who would excel no matter what field he’s in?”Harry rubbed his chin and muttered to himself.Zander did not reply as he watched Sean’s car drive off. He only turned back once Sean left.“Blaze Lake wants to bury Commander in the ground but he doesn’t realize that Commander is a seed. A seed that will grow into a towering tree.”As soon as he finished speaking, he left the office with his hands behind his back.They did not dare to n
"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
