The crowd frowned slightly, but they said nothing.Sean glanced meaningfully at Gordon."Are you calling black as white?"Sean snorted coldly. Gordon already looked demented.Therefore, was he still going to flounder around and make himself look worse?"I saw it."Bill was the first to raise his hand in the silence."What are you?"I told you. It'll only take a minute to get rid of you!"Gordon suddenly reached out and pointed at Bill."You!"Bill gritted his teeth slightly and could not help looking down.After all, people from the underworld feared government officials the most.If Gordon flexed his identity to fight them, Flint would be the one to suffer."I saw it too."Homer slowly raised his hand."You're all with Sean. What's the point that you saw?"I'll ask my colleagues whether anyone saw me take it?" Gordon slowly turned to look at the other members of the government.Members of the government, including Hayden, frowned slightly and did not answer.Gordo
"What?"The crowd got even more confused when they heard Sean's words.With everyone watching, a middle-aged official stepped into the wine party.Two entourages also followed the middle-aged man."Director Wool?"Someone recognized the newcomer immediately.The middle-aged man was the director of the River City CIA, Damian Wool!He was in charge of various River City's government and justice departments.Damian was powerful in River City."Director Wool!"Everyone greeted him immediately.Hayden and the rest got up to greet him.Even Gordon had to greet Damian."Do you recognize me?"I thought there was something wrong with your eyes."Everyone looked awkward as soon as Damian spoke."It's clear in the video. There are images and sounds. How could you not see something so clear?"Of course, it doesn't matter whether you saw it."As director of the River City CIA, I fight such villains."It doesn't matter that you didn't see. I saw it."Many people were shocked when
The entire venue of the wine party was dead silent.There was no doubt that Colton's Mr. Chase was Charlie.As head of Souz River, Charlie had jurisdiction over a dozen cities.River City was only one of them.He was also the boss of people like Damian.All in all, Charlie was the most powerful person in Souz River's government.Colton held a terrifying position as an assistant and secretary to its head.A man in such a terrifying position was so polite to Sean.Then what did that make Sean?James froze while Gordon looked shocked.Jon, Old Madam Quinn, and the rest widened their eyes in disbelief.Even Homer and Chadwick, the few people who supported Sean, were dumbfounded.It was incredible.They thought a lot about what Sean would do to fight back.However, they did not expect Sean's counterattack to be so terrifying.His sudden attack was so amazing that he overpowered River City's bosses in one go.The swiftness of his domination was staggering that it was beyond w
"Take him away."Damian waved, and Gordon was immediately escorted out.People in the room lowered their heads. No one dared stop them.No one dared offend Colton as he stood there without saying a word."I'm sorry for interrupting the wine party."You may proceed. I will come again if anything happens."Colton nodded slightly and left.Damian and Colton were gone as soon as they came.In the twinkling of an eye, it was as if they were never there.However, the wine party's atmosphere changed dramatically.Again, a guy in Colton's position would not do anything too brash.He would not speak too straightforwardly either.Though Colton made it seem simple, it was not as simple as they thought.It was just like how Colton had never expressed any firm opinions since the beginning.He had only greeted Sean. However, people automatically thought that Sean and Colton were close.Therefore, the way people treated Sean at this point was quite different from what it was earlier.
It was true that relationships among people too often depended on money.Sean was like a hot property many people sought after.Even Samuel wanted to give Sean a toast at Old Madam Quinn's behest.James and Jon could only watch. There was nothing they could do."Ahem. Mr... Mr. Lennon, here's to you too."Samuel held his glass and was going to clink it with Sean.Swoosh!However, Sean slowly moved his glass away."Do you deserve it?"Sean's blunt remark made Samuel blush.However, Sean was unprepared to give the Quinn family any face.Quinn Corporation was different from other businesses.Sean and the Quinn family's dispute could not be explained in a few words.Besides, Sean had given them many chances. He gave them another chance just before entering the wine party.However, they did not cherish it either!They wanted to trample over Sean when they saw him down and out.Seeing Sean gaining momentum, they wanted to suck up to him.Did they think Sean was that magnanim
"One more step?"Homer and Chadwick froze at that.Sean had overpowered Jen-Bond Holdings and the Zimmer family.Was that not the end of it?What else did he want to do?Sean slowly turned his head and glanced across everyone's faces.Siding with Sean when he was in trouble meant they could be trusted.He was content to have these people around him.Quality over quantity.Sean did not require his men to be powerful, just loyal.That alone was enough.The Larson family, the Summers family, and people like Flint won Sean's trust after this confrontation with Jen-Bond Holdings.However, they had no idea how much gaining Sean's trust would benefit them.Since he trusted them, Sean would not hide his plan from them.Sean slowly reached out and pointed to one of the tallest buildings in River City."I want to take over River City."The remark shocked everyone.It was the first time Sean revealed his ambition in front of Homer and the rest.Zander knew Sean wanted the River
"Alright, there are no outsiders now."We're in the same team. Just say whatever's on your mind."Jon glanced at James before saying to the crowd.However, no one spoke after he finished speaking.Many people did not even want to stay here, but they dared not offend James, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and stay here for the time being."Since no one wants to talk, I'll talk."James stood on the stage again, facing the crowd."Firstly, Sean is a disgrace to River City's business circle. It's a fact!"He caused a lot of trouble too."It just didn't occur to me that he knew someone as important as Mr. Freeman."James watched the crowd's expression as he spoke.However, everyone present was cunning.Therefore, they stayed calm, so James would not even know what they were thinking."But I'm not afraid of him even if he knows Mr. Freeman."I must banish him from River City for River City business circle's betterment."I also believe Mr. Freeman is a man of integ
"Carry on, everyone. I've got something more exciting for you later."James waved his hand, and the atmosphere gradually lightened.However, only those ignorant knew full well how ignorant they were....At the same time.River City Larson Residence."Old Master, I... I feel like I took a big gamble today, you know?"And it's a big gamble with no chance of winning."I didn't expect Mr. Lennon to intimidate everyone in the end."Homer sat in a mahogany chair and heaved a deep sigh."Tell me all about it."Old Master Larson found it hard to believe as well.He valued affection and personal loyalty. He thought Sean had given him a second chance at life by curing his illness.Therefore, he would never leave Sean in his hour of need.However, he did not expect Sean to win the business war!After Homer elaborated, Old Master Larson slowly let out a long breath."Mr. Freeman's presence is key, but it's not the main key."Mr. Lennon nailed them by playing the video."Old Mast
"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
