"Commander! You... you're back!"

"But I can't... I can't..."

Zander banged his fists on the ground as if extreme agony hid in his heart.

"Commander Young, what happened?"

The tent opened, and a soldier quickly walked over.

The soldier could not believe Zander, who commanded hundreds of thousands of troops, was on his knees in tears.

"It's my heart!"

Zander waved his hand and got up. With his back facing the young man, he said, "Make travel arrangements. I want to go back."

"Commander Young, the war is at a critical stretch right now..."

"How long before will you be back?

The soldier asked in a whisper.

"To be confirmed."

Zander's tone brooked no arguments.

"Yes!"

The soldier retreated, not daring to ask more questions.

...

River City, Quinn Residence.

Sean sat alone in his wheelchair and held his phone in silence for a long time.

"Something's wrong."

Sean frowned as he pondered.

Zander was rude on purpose.

It was not the Zander he knew.

Smack!

Sean smacked his knee, feeling a little guilty.

He called in a fit of desperation, forgetting his current situation!

He should not have made that call.

'Once those people find out I have recovered, they won't let it slide.'

'Zander must have acted so harshly to protect me.'

"Who's speaking? Is it the vegetable again?"

Just then, a middle-aged woman walked in.

The woman had triangular eyes and thin lips. Whenever her eyes darted upward, she had an air of arrogance around her.

She was Willow's mother, Fion Wilson.

She was also Sean's future mother-in-law.

Among the Quinn family, Fion had been the meanest to Sean over these two years.

There was no small matter in the army, and Sean's identity was strictly confidential.

Therefore, even the Quinn family knew nothing about Sean's past.

Sean was nothing but a loser to Fion.

Sean sat on the edge of the bed, staring indifferently at Fion.

"What are you doing, you vegetable?"

Fion stepped forward and grabbed the phone out of Sean's hand.

"Does a mere veg know how to use a phone?"

"Willow was so kind. She said something about setting an alarm and bringing you outside for a sunbath!

"How silly. How did I, Fion Wilson, give birth to such a fool?"

Fion exasperatedly grabbed the phone and gave Sean a shove.

There was a chill in Sean's eyes. As a nine-star commander, everything within a radius of three meters was taboo.

If it were someone else, a mere act like that would have given him the right to kill on the spot.

It was an imperial privilege to act first and report it later!

"What are you looking at? Do you refuse to accept it? What's the matter? Do you want to hit me?

"Do you think you're someone with potential? I believed Old Master Quinn's crap when he told me you were some brilliant soldier in the army.

"You now rely on the Quinn family to live. Aren't you just a loser?

"What commander and king? You're just a loser. You're also a cripple and a veg!"

Fion put one hand on her hip as she kept on pointing at Sean's nose.

She was extremely skilled at this sort of thing.

However, Fion's voice stopped as her face filled with panic.

Because she saw Sean, the vegetable... the crippled veg...

He got up slowly...

Sean, who was more than 1.8 meters tall, got up slowly with indifference in his eyes.

The eyes as deep as the galaxy even emitted an endless aura of destruction.

It was icy and chilling to the bone.

Fion's eyes widened, and as Sean's body moved slowly, her face instantly went ghastly pale.

The aura Sean exuded was like the invincible God of War as it overwhelmed her.

Sean's overpowering gaze made Fion feel like an ant.

Plonk!

Frightened, Fion collapsed on her knees.

Sean looked down at Fion with indifference in his eyes.

That aura of destruction that had ruled the battlefield and killed countless enemies had finally erupted.

It was like a tiger that had awakened!

"You begged for me when I was at my best.

"Now, you step on me when I'm at my worst.

"I, Sean Lennon, rule the Northwest. No one can or dare to bully me.

"I remember the Quinn family's kindness for sheltering me, but I'll also remember how you humiliated me.

"Don't call me cold-blooded. If it weren't for Old General Quinn and Willow, you'd be a corpse right now."

Sean's icy fury and sharp words made Fion so terrified that he shivered on the ground with chattering teeth.

"You... you...

"Aren't... aren't you a loser?"

Fion slumped to the ground, still gritting her teeth.

Sean's eyes flickered slightly. He was indeed nothing but a loser now.

Instead of the nine-star commander, Sean Lennon, who ruled the Northwest.

"Even if I've become a loser, I'm still Sean Lennon."

The name spoke for itself.

Even if he was a live-in son-in-law, he was no ordinary live-in son-in-law.

Fion's head was buzzing. For a moment, she could not speak.

Sean glanced at Fion and tried to walk, but his legs gave way, and he sat down on the edge of the bed again.

He had forced himself to his feet in a fit of rage just now. Sean had not fully recovered.

It took a hundred days for the bone to knit and tendons to heal, not to mention Sean's disabilities that were the result of two years in a wheelchair.

All the more he required a recovery period.

Fion's fear dissipated as Sean collapsed again.

"You loser! You veg! So what if you've regained your senses? You're still a cripple!

"How dare you threaten me? Get the f*ck out of here!

"This is my home!"

Fion yelled at Sean as she got up from the ground.

"Aunt Fion, what happened?"

Just then, a young man walked in through the door.

The young man had good looks, and there was a sinister smile on his lips.

Not only that but the young man was also dressed in dark black armor and armed with a mighty sword.

The armor had an imposing design. It was inlaid with gold, and the gold thread on the armor snaked up like a wandering dragon.

The sword was heavy and sharp, exuding a terrifying chill.

The armor and sword made the young man look heroic.

Sean's eyes narrowed slightly at the sight of the young man.

The young man was named Quill Zimmer. He was the eldest son of the Zimmer family, a famous family in River City.

He had been coveting Willow's beauty for a long time. Even though Willow was engaged to Sean, he was still reluctant to give up.

Over the past two years, Quill had visited the Quinn family many times, plotting with Fion to kick Sean out of the Quinn family even in front of Sean.

Then he would take over and take Willow for himself.

They would have gotten what they wanted if Willow had not stopped them.

"The vegetable... The veg is no longer a veg!"

Fion said breathlessly as she pointed at Sean.

Sean glanced at the young man's clothes, and a chill flickered in his eyes again.

"Nine-star Armor, Nation Defending Sword...

"I wonder if you can handle them.

"Are you really not afraid of death?"

Sean shouted coldly, and Quill's head buzzed.

'Is this veg really not a veg anymore?'

I don't think he's that simple."As the young master of the Zimmer family, Quill thought things more thoroughly than Fion."Position?""If he retired after being enlisted for a few years, he must have more than one hundred thousand dollars in retirement pay.""Well, all he has are old clothes, an old sword, and an old suitcase. The bank card inside had no money either.""I also saw a box of pins.

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.

    "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

"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.

    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.

    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

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
