The Summers family was not very strong in River City, whether in wealth or connections.They were a third-rate family at best.Rachel did quite well in the Northwest Army.However, it did not benefit the Summers family much because her work was secretive.However, Rachel's family was more harmonious, and her parents were not as materialistic as Fion.Rachel's father, Chadwick Summers, sat in his study. He had just closed his book and was going to bed.However, Rachel called.Chadwick smiled and answered the phone.As soon as the line got through, Rachel's somewhat panicked voice came."Dad, did something happen in River City again?"Speechless, Chadwick shook his head. Rachel had been away from River City since she left the army and said she wanted to travel."What do you mean?"And when will you be back? Your mother misses you.""I'm talking about things within the business circle."Rachel muttered after a pause."River City business circle? A lot has been going on late
It was as if she was very familiar with Sean."Girlie, are you sure you want me to do this?"Chadwick sensed the determination in Rachel's voice and asked quietly after a long silence."Yes!"Help him however much you can."Rachel nodded heavily without hesitation."Okay!"Chadwick sighed and finally agreed.He knew siding with Sean at this point was suicidal.However, he chose to trust Rachel's judgment....At the same time.A town not far from River City.The town was called Joules Town.Joules Town was much more prosperous and economically developed than River City.As an ancient capital for six dynasties, it was naturally prosperous.Besides, many grand historic events had happened here, so many people were familiar with it.The ancient capital for six dynasties had produced many famous people over the years.Now, the bustling modern city had also spawned many nationally famous enterprises.In other words, it was much more advanced than River City.There was a
The servant froze instantly when the middle-aged man said that.If Joules Town Lathan Manor reached out to the head of Souz River, they would have to do them a favor.However, was it worth owing a favor for someone you did not know?"What are you waiting for?"The middle-aged man asked with a frown when the servant did not move.The servant was silent for two seconds before finally speaking."Well... Wouldn't it be a bit of a waste if you...""What about me?"Do you want me to watch my daughter starve herself?"It's just a favor. Lathan Manor can afford it."The middle-aged man waved his hand slightly. He did not care about Lennon Group's background.All he cared about was making his daughter happy, and that was all that mattered.The servant had nothing to say when he heard that.Chloe's attitude was firm, and she really did not eat or drink.There would be problems if it went on like this.The middle-aged man was silent for a moment before speaking with a sigh."I kno
"Commander, don't be rash."The Northwest is already suspicious that my movements are related to you."If we make it a big deal at this time, we will be exposed immediately."Jen-Bond Holdings isn't worth exposing yourself."Zander was silent for two seconds before trying to talk Sean out of it.Sean pondered for a moment before nodding in the end.He still needed to meet them.Sean had no idea how yet."Got it. Get some rest."Sean nodded gently and hung up....Overnight.Jen-Bond Holdings took the pressure on Sean a notch higher.From the initial invasion into the business circle, they used every tool at their disposal.Jen-Bond Holdings even reached out to Flint about working together.If Flint agreed, he would get a lot of money right away.It seemed Jen-Bond Holdings had figured out Sean's connections in River City.Therefore, they prepared to bribe all of Sean's connections to their own advantage.Jen-Bond Holdings was powerful and rich, and few could refuse th
After a pause, Sean reached out to shake hands with James.However, James still kept smiling, but he did not seem to see Sean's hand and sat down.He must have thought Sean was not in a position to shake his hand.It did not bother Sean as he sat with Zander.He had no idea what James was up to yet.However, with Jon sitting here, Sean did not expect James to negotiate with Sean!"My assistant got a call from you last night, Mr. Lennon. There must have been some misunderstanding."So I reached out to you when I found out about it."I wonder what you wanted to see me about, Mr. Lennon?"James asked with a chuckle as he took a sip of tea.Sean frowned slightly, but James calmly put the spotlight on him. He was indeed difficult!Having Jen-Bond Holdings appoint him as the head of a branch also proved James' ability."They say there are no permanent enemies and friends in the business world."What do you think about that, Mr. Thomson?"Sean put his hands on the table and met
Businessmen were always after profit.They put profit above all else.Considering the current situation, Jen-Bond Holdings would be wise to partner up with Sean.Working with Jon was not only about cleaning up their mess, but also about fighting Lennon Group and even Reach For Will Group for a long time.As long as they worked with Sean, they could save a lot of trouble and be at the top of the River City business circle in no time.Especially now that Sean wanted to cooperate with Jen-Bond Holdings, it was hard to guarantee that James would not be tempted.The more Jon thought about it, the more he panicked. He looked at James fearfully, afraid he would be abandoned."Mr. Zimmer, take a break first."James glanced at Jon and muttered.Jon froze for a moment and became even more flustered.How could he leave the room now?The Zimmer family's only hope now was Jen-Bond Holdings.They could get back on their feet as long as they stuck with Jen-Bond Holdings.Their status wou
"I can afford it!"If 500 million dollars isn't enough. I can give one billion dollars."If one billion dollars isn't enough. I can give two billion dollars."How are you going to compare with me?"Sean smirked as he spoke arrogantly.What was money?Money was the key to high society and a master key to many things.Jon could only envy Sean's wealth.It was like how Sean could pressure Jon to give in with his infinite money.Hmph!Jon snorted coldly and turned his head to the other side."I was going to let you off."Your debts would also be settled."You lost Zimmer Corporation, but I was going to make sure you guys are well off for the rest of your lives for Jason's sake."Of course, those ideas are now gone."Sean slowly leaned on the back of the chair, his tone lazy."You!"Jon had mixed feelings when he heard this.Sean did not need to lie to him at this point.Therefore, whatever Sean said should be true.Jon pondered, feeling slightly regretful.If Jen-Bond
"But Jen-Bond Holdings isn’t interested."When James said this, the weight in Jon's heart instantly lifted.Then Jon was smug, even looking at Sean defiantly.His eyes were full of disdain."Would Jen-Bond Holdings make such an unwise decision?"Sean frowned slightly and tried to fight for it again."Mr. Lennon, to put it bluntly, what we need at Jen-Bond Holdings is an obedient partner we can control."That's the point."But I don't think Mr. Lennon fits our requirements."A hint of amusement crept into James's mouth.Sean understood him.Jen-Bond Holdings was working with Jon, and Jon naturally followed their orders and did whatever they said.However, it might be different if they worked with Sean.Sean would never be at the mercy of Jen-Bond Holdings like Jon.Besides, River City was so small that Sean would probably take over Jen-Bond Holdings in one mouthful if he had the chance.Jen-Bond Holdings was a good judge of character.Sean's plan to work with Jen-Bond Ho
"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
