All the neighbors knew that Willow's family worked at River City's Quinn Corporation.

However, few people knew that Willow and her family were members of the Quinn family.

Old Madam Quinn said she did not want to be embarrassed.

Therefore, she dissociated herself from them.

Suddenly, a woman asked with a sneer.

"Oh yes, Willow. The young man who often visits you drives a nice car whenever he comes. It can't be his, can it?"

Everyone knew that Willow was engaged to a vegetable.

However, Quill came over almost every day.

Gossip was inevitable around here.

"Not really."

Willow knew these people were just trying to make fun of her, so she did not want to stay.

"You should be careful if it's not."

"With such an amazing car parked in front of your house, you probably can't afford to pay if you scratch it."

"Maybe you'll involve us in this if you don't admit your mistakes."

The crowd sneered with a teasing note in their voices.

"It's a mere Ferrari. So what if you smash it?"

    Once again, Sean stepped in gallantly to defend her dignity.It was the kind of thing Willow had always wanted.She never thought it would become reality someday.Since Sean came to himself, these hopes had come true."Excuse me. You might not afford to pay if you ruin it."Sean slowly turned to look at the crowd of a dozen of people.They all looked at each other and obediently stepped to one side.In the presence of such an expensive car, they could not resist.What kind of society was this?They looked down on the poor, yet looked up to the rich no matter where their money came from!Even if Sean was a cripple, he was a cripple who drove a Ferrari!"Sean, let's go inside."Willow blushed a little and did not want to say much in front of the crowd."Alright."Sean chuckled and did not even look at the crowd.From beginning to end, he ignored these people.Willow wheeled Sean slowly into the yard and gently closed the gates."Was I dreaming?

    Fion immediately froze and slowly turned to look at Sean."Are you being silly again? What nonsense are you talking about?"Do you know how much that car is worth? Do you know how many wheelchairs that one wheel can buy you?"Sean, I'm telling you straight!"You can never drive a car like that!"So forget about going after something you're unworthy of."Fion said with her lips curled in disdain as she folded her arms.Clank.Sean did not bother to speak. He slowly reached for the car key on the desk before putting them back on the desk again.Everything was understood without uttering a word.Fion's eyes drifted to the car key.A black horse with a yellow background.The unique Ferrari logo was instantly visible.Fion instantly froze.'Did Sean actually take out the car key?''Is that multimillion-dollar Ferrari out front really his?'Fion's heart rate increased, and her mouth moved again and again.'What's going on here?''Could Sean really afford a multimillion-doll

    "I'll do it myself, thank you."Sean's voice came from the room."... Okay!"Willow let out a sigh.She felt empty for no reason....Night.Sean did acupuncture on both legs before repeating it not long after.The interval was so short that the average person would never be able to withstand it.Even Sean had his share of pain.However, he was as eager to get on his feet.Therefore, he wanted to speed up the recovery process, even if it hurt."Whew!"Moments later, Sean put the silver needles away and let out a long breath.His whole body was wet with sweat."Two years without exercise really degrades one's health."Sean reached out and tapped his knee as he muttered to himself."Hmm..."Sean was about to take a break when he heard a strange noise.It sounded like a woman's voice. It sounded like a whisper and was very seductive.It sounded just like...It would make people blush.Thinking of Fion and her husband, Sean did not want to bother with it.However, it

    "Where are you going?"Willow asked, and her face flushed even more.Sean shuddered.With years of experience on the battlefield, he was used to life and death and troubles.One could imagine how calm Sean was.Outsiders could not affect a solid rock that easily.However, he was nervous for no reason."I'm going to rest."Sean muttered in reply as he had his back on Willow."... What if... it hurts again?"Willow pressed her red lips together, not even noticing the coquetry in her voice."Then I'll come over again."You're on your period. Have a good rest."Sean slowly left the room after he finished."Hmm..."He's quite the gentleman."Willow mumbled to herself with an indescribable emotion on her face.After Sean left, Willow lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.The events of the last few days flashed through her head like a movie.Sean had surprised her since he recovered his mind.It had also brought some changes to Willow's life.Willow coul

    He was a legend.The man was indomitably strong!He was what Rachel was after."Hsss!"Willow's eyes widened, and her face was full of shock.She could imagine how amazing the man was from what Rachel said."Now that you mention it, I'm a little curious..."Willow muttered to herself, her heart longing for the army as well.However, Fion would never let her join the army. She could only do whatever the Quinn family arranged for her."I would have had a chance to meet him..."But..."Rachel sighed and stopped at the mention of it."But what?"Willow immediately asked."But God envies talent!"Rachel said through clenched teeth, "Something happened to him. He has left the army and is nowhere to be found."A lot of people miss him, but we don't know where he is."He has been gone for two years."Rachel's voice was tinged with deep loss and sadness at the mention of it.Willow froze when she heard this.'Gone for two years?''Two years...'She suddenly remembered that

    It would get annoying if you had to say something thrice.Forget it!From now on, all he had to do was make up for what he owed Willow.The others were nothing."Sean, sorry for the trouble."Willow slowly turned her head and said as she looked at Sean.Sean replied and walked out first.He sighed to himself. 'Silly girl, I've troubled you for two years. This trifle is nothing.'"Girl, aren't you being silly?"You have to help him get into the car if you let him send you to work. How is it easier than driving a scooter?"Fion glanced at Willow as she spoke exasperatedly."He wanted to do something for me."It would hurt his dignity if I refused."Willow changed her shoes, turned around, and walked out."Hmph! What dignity does a cripple, a disabled have?"Fion groaned and sulked on the couch."Don't be so mean to Sean."Forget about the past. But now that he has regained his senses, we have to take care of his pride."Kent, who had been reading the newspaper on the co

    'Is Rachel, Willow's best friend?'Sean was surprised.The world was so small sometimes.He remembered that Rachel was extremely competitive even though she was a woman.Without any connections or background, she made many military achievements and got constant promotions with her own efforts.She would not have had access to Sean if she was not high enough in status."What's the matter? Do you know Rae?"Willow asked after sensing a change in Sean's tone.Sean glanced at Willow, then said slowly, "No."He had no idea what was going on in the Northwest.Let alone what those culprits who poisoned him were up to.Therefore, he could not expose himself easily."I knew it. Rae is very high up in the ranks."Even if you've been in the army, she's out of reach for most people."Willow withdrew her gaze and murmured."Yeah..."Sean nodded, said no more, and drove seriously."By the way, Sean, tell me the truth. Do you have any money on you right now?"Willow closed the car w

    Therefore, nothing could go wrong with the contract."I went back and thought about it yesterday. Something seems off."The staff here wouldn't dare lie to me."Tell me, Sean didn't really give Willow a Ferrari, did he?"Faye frowned slightly as she brought it up again."Haha! Stop joking!"Simon laughed and said, "I'm telling you. Some people's lives are pre-destined."Willow could only ride a scooter for the rest of her life."And Sean will be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life!"I'm not joking. If Sean could afford a Ferrari, I, Simon Quinn, will get down on my knees and call him boss!"Simon had just finished speaking when a peculiar sound was heard in the distance.The distinct sounding engine roar caught many people's attention.In the distance, a flaming red Ferrari luxurious supercar was speeding over.Its red varnish looked dazzling.The engine roared and headed straight for Quinn Corporation's branch."What the f*ck.

    "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
