“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.
Howard, Chadwick, and the others all looked at Sean.Before this, they had really been oblivious to the fact that Sean had done all of this.Howard only knew that Sean prevented Larson Pharmaceuticals from being affected by not allowing him to invest in the Zimmer Corporation back then.This showed that Sean definitely knew about this incident beforehand.However, Howard really did not know that Sean had planned all of this out. However, Sean did not speak right now. He remained silent.Therefore, Howard and the others remained silent as well. “Mr. Thomson, we don’t really understand what you mean.” A middle-aged woman slowly got up and asked James.“Yes, Mr. Thomson, is there something that we don’t know about?” “Mr. Thomson, tell us what you know straight away. The financial circle of River City has been in extreme turmoil lately. We can discuss things together today.” Some people agreed as well. “Please calm down, everyone. “Although Jen-Bond Holdings is pretty
As soon as Jon and the others started questioning Sean, more and more people started casting cold glares at Sean. “Sean Lennon, what else do you have to say?” James laughed out loud. There was an outraged expression on his face. It was as if he were interrogating an evil criminal. Then, Sean began to speak. “Who do you think you are? Who knows if you’re telling the truth? “You’re just saying anything right now. Where’s your proof?” Sean remained calm as he sat on his chair with a calm expression on his face. He swirled his glass of wine lightly. As soon as he spoke back to James, a lot of people agreed with what he said although they did not say anything. Although James was from Jen-Bond Holdings, that did not mean that everything that he said was right. Everything could only be verified with proof. James could not just make everyone believe in his words without any proof, right? “Look at what’s going on now. Are you still going to be stubborn? “Sinc
“Mr. Howard, you came over just to clarify the truth for River City’s peace. You’re an extremely righteous person!” “I truly admire you!” James put on a show before handing the microphone over to Flint. Flint glanced at James and asked, “Mr. Thomson, what do you want me to talk about?” James immediately replied, “Of course, you should tell us about how Sean Lennon got his hands on the development approval of the central business district through shady means.” Everyone in the audience nodded at once. “Shady means? “I don’t agree with this. “I’m a businessman. I only care about profits.“Mr. Lennon offered me a suitable price. Of course, I chose to sell the approval to him. “It was a voluntary decision on both ends. How is that shady?” Flint’s voice rang out in the hall through the speakers. James was stunned. Jon was confused as well. Meanwhile, everyone else had stupefied expressions on their faces.Was he not the witness?Was Flint not going to e
Who was Gordon? He was a member of the government.He represented River City's government.Therefore, he was more convincing than James.No one would doubt him if he said Sean had touched Zimmer Corporation's funds.Furthermore, there was some problem with Sean’s witness Flint.However, with Gordon testifying, Flint's statement did not matter."Mr. Lennon, well..."Homer panicked, and Chadwick was desperate.Homer listened to Old Master Larson, and Chadwick trusted his daughter.Therefore, they wanted to take this gamble with Sean.Gordon had now come forward and confirmed what Sean had done.Sean was for sure, going to lose.They were going to lose too!There would be no place for them in River City after tonight."What shall we do?"Chadwick slowly looked up at Homer with a pale face."I don't know."Homer was afraid to look at Jon and the others.It was because many people were looking at Sean with sharp gazes.If looks could kill, Sean would have died many time
"Yeah! Mr. Zigger, we don't blame you."It's none of your business. We know right from wrong."There is no hatred without cause. There is no one to blame but Sean."The others nodded along.Thanks to James and Jon, Gordon was instantly believed.He instantly became an honest government worker, who was scammed, when he did it all for River City's development. Gordon was smug. He had made the right choice by being with Jen-Bond Holdings.It was as if he could already see the moment when he would be promoted and made rich.With Jen-Bond Holdings' help, he might even be able to take over Damian's place.The more Gordon thought about it, the happier he became, but his expression remained the same.Next, they would see how Sean was going to die.He had now disrupted the order of the River City business circle.River City government would take the downtown development permit back from Sean.‘You loser!‘This time, I'm not only going to make you return everything but put you in
"B*stard! He's framing me! He's setting me up! Turn it off!"Gordon lost his composure and immediately tried to turn off the big screen.However, the screen was remote-controlled, and there was no on-off button.Gordon could not even find the wiring headboard.He wanted to block everyone's eyes, but he could not.The scene on the screen continued."Mr. Zigger, I thought this was a nice briefcase, so I bought one for you."Please pay more attention to that thing with Sean!"James' voice came from the video.A brand-new passcode briefcase was also pushed up to Gordon.The contents of the briefcase were unknown, but they could figure out what it was."Sure!"We'll ruin Sean this time."Gordon laughed and accepted the briefcase without hesitation."Let's talk more about our next plan..."James in the video continued to talk.Frantic, Gordon suddenly lifted a chair and hurled it at the screen.Bang! Clang!Gordon instantly smashed the screen.After a few flickers, it dark
"What do you think, Mr. Thomson?"Sean asked calmly as he sat in a chair.He disliked bickering.However, he had no choice as they were not in the army.You could solve anything in the army with a fight.However, they were out in the real world and could not avoid bickering here.After all, gossip was a fearful thing.If they did not clear this up, even Sean could not survive in River City, no matter how capable he was.Therefore, he had to sit here even though he thought it was a waste of time.James, Jon, Gordon...Many people were reluctant to speak.Sean was about to lose his reputation and become a public enemy of River City.Who would have expected Sean to do that?He turned the situation around in an instant."Sean, you're trying to divert our attention."No matter what you say, you stole Zimmer Corporation's money!"Jon panicked and began shouting in a fluster.However, the more he did it, the worse he looked."What makes you think Mr. Lennon transferred your
"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
