It was for the Quinn family's survival to be able to suck up to them!If it were not for the Zimmer family, they had no right to attend the wine party tonight."Old Madam Quinn, I gotta get this off my chest."Many families want to marry into the Zimmer family these days. We have so many proposals these days."If the Quinn family continues to delay, then..."Jon deliberately paused for a moment.The Quinn family, including Fion, felt a thump in their hearts.They bought it.The Zimmer family had become a first-rate family in River City.Countless people wanted to be friends with them.If the Quinn family did not take this opportunity, they would not have another opportunity in the future!"Mr. Zimmer, it will be settled soon."Willow is just being foolish. I'll talk to her."Old Madam Quinn spoke in a rather humble manner.According to their age, Jon was Old Madam Quinn's junior.However, status was not defined by age.The Zimmer family had the power to make the Quinn f
Even the Quinn family had never seen Willow look so beautiful, let alone anyone else.Willow was looking embarrassed under the spotlight.However, Sean was there, so she was not that nervous.Jon, Quill, and the Quinn family gawked, including the dumbfounded guests around them.Even the hotel's security guards and other staff froze.She was beyond the word "beautiful"."She's ten times more beautiful than Angelina Julie!"She deserves to be the most beautiful woman in River City..."Willow's beauty overshadowed every woman in the room.Every man present could not help but feel starstruck.However, they knew such a beautiful woman did not belong to them.She belonged to the unremarkable man next to her."Sean, they're all looking at me."Willow felt embarrassed as she had nowhere to put her hand."My woman deserves the attention."Sean chuckled and tugged at the hem of Willow's dress before holding out his arm.Willow smiled and obediently took Sean's arm as they walked
The crowd turned to look.At least five cars were heading for the hotel entrance.Each was a million-dollar luxury car; all painted black and gleaming in the light.Screech!Jon and others frowned slightly as the cars stopped.The crowd spoke when they saw inside the first car.Many people recognized who came through the opened car window."Isn't that Bill?"Yes, it's Mr. Bill Wallace!"He's a real big shot. They say he is Boss Flint's right-hand man."Many people around recognized the comer.Bill Wallace was one of the biggest names in the River City underworld.They did not expect him to attend the wine party.Bill had always had a dark reputation in River City.Later, Flint rose to the top of the underworld with the help of some unknown force.Therefore, his men and Bill's status rose with Flint.Bill had quite a reputation in River City nowadays.The crowd continued speaking."Who says Mr. Lennon has no one to help him?"What's the matter? Do you want to challeng
The Larson family was not a big deal in River City.However, Larson Pharmaceuticals was the biggest player in River City's pharmaceutical industry.They had their own complete set of industrial chains.They had channels from raw material procurement, production, packaging, and final product sales.Most importantly, Larson Pharmaceuticals had long been known for its safety and efficacy.Major hospitals and pharmacies in surrounding cities had contracts with them.Therefore, Homer held a high status in River City."Homer, you're not changing your mind, are you?"Jon felt increasingly upset.Back when the Zimmer family was raising money, Larson Pharmaceuticals did nothing.Then Jon realized that Sean must have tipped Homer off, which was why Larson Pharmaceuticals did not invest.Jon thought Larson Pharmaceuticals and Sean were only friends.It turned out their relationship was much deeper than Jon thought.After all, everyone in River City knew Jen-Bond Holdings was going af
"Mr. Clarke!"Homer, Chadwick, and others greeted Harry.No one dared to ignore him.Sean was looking playfully at Harry with a smile on his lips.Harry had gotten used to the general manager position after a long time.His pace, attitude, and tone were befitting the head of a company."Come. Show me how you're kicking them out with one word."Harry asked indifferently as he walked up to Jon.Hmph!Jon gritted his teeth, snorted coldly, and said nothing.James and the rest planned to crush Sean and Reach For Will Group for good this time.However, until they did that, Reach For Will Group still remains a major company in River City’s business circle.Jen-Bond Holdings was number one in River City's business circle, while Reach For Will Group was number two.They were still influential.Therefore, Jon had no choice but to give in temporarily.The surrounding people figured it out.Reach For Will Group's Harry was also closely related to Sean."Who the h*ll is Sean?""I
No one knew if this wine party had another agenda or was an opportunity.Whether this opportunity would make any party famous in River City was still unknown.Willow was a little nervous as she got closer to the entrance.She had never attended such an upscale party.Even when she was in charge of Quinn Corporation's branch, she had no right to attend such events.Besides, those present were River City's aristocrats with special status.River City businessmen, heirs, heiresses, listed company owners, affluent families...Willow did not want to be nervous, but her heart rate was out of control."Don't worry. I've got you."Sean sensed something wrong with Willow. He reached out to take Willow's palm and said with a faint smile."Okay..."Willow nodded, her face blushing.Having Sean hold her hand relieved her nervousness."Mr. Lennon, please!"Zander stepped forward, bent over, and reached out his hand.Sean did not feel nervous at all. He instantly led Willow into the wi
If they were not able to get their hands on a goddess like Willow, they did not want anyone else to have her either!However, Sean held Willow’s hand as they both slowly entered the gala venue. Everyone was extremely jealous of Sean. “Phew!”A lot of people let out sighs of relief. They then averted their gazes forcefully. They were all from the upper social circle. It would be inappropriate for them to keep staring at someone else. Although they wanted to stare at Sean and Willow, they had no choice but to resist the urge to do so. However, a few other people continued staring at Willow. After all, Willow’s beauty was lethal. It was a great enjoyment for them to be able to stare at her. “Mr. Clarke? Mr. Larson, Mr. Summers, you’re all here! Come here and sit down!” Everyone greeted Harry and the others when they arrived at the gala. “It’s fine, we’ll just sit next to Mr. Lennon.” Nevertheless, Harry waved his hand slightly and rejected everyone else’s off
“Mr. Lennon, the Old Master says that it’s true that businessmen only pursue benefits.“However, one would still have to determine what kind of benefit they’d gain and what kind of situation they’re in.“He asked me to tell you that even if we lose, he has no regrets.” Homer turned around and looked at Sean intently.“I won’t lose.“You guys won’t lose either.” Sean’s gaze was extremely calm. The decisive tone of his voice left no space for objection either.“Alright!” Homer nodded. The few of them then clinked their glasses lightly. Soon after, more and more people entered the gala venue. Meanwhile, everyone, the Quinn family included, joined the larger group of people. Sean’s group consisted of extremely few people since the start. The people on Sean’s side basically included some of the people with the highest profiles in the social circle of River City. Sean did not know all of them, but Homer and Chadwick introduced him to each of them in soft voices.
"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
