Old Madam Quinn was nodding along slightly as well.“We’ll just have to see what Mr. Larson’s next moves are then.”“No matter if it’s the Zimmers or the Larsons, as long as they ask for Willow’s hand in marriage, I will convince Willow to accept their offer.”Old Madam Quinn gave her word, and the rest of the Quinn family no longer had anything else to say.…Willow Quinn was newly appointed to be the president of the Quinn Corporation subbranch.There were some who celebrated her, there were also some who were sulking because of this.Fion Wilson was naturally ecstatic. She was so happy she woke herself up from her dreams from sheer joy.On the other hand, Simon, Faye Quinn, and the rest were unhappy.As much as they were unhappy with the entire arrangement, Willow Quinn was now the biggest contributor to the Quinn Family, so much so that even Old Madam Quinn’s attitude towards Willow had drastically improved.So, they did not dare to go overboard with their display of unha
“Alright, go ahead.”Sean nodded. He reached out his hand and gave Candy’s little face a pinch.“Uncle Sean, look what I’ve brought for you!”After watching her mother leave, Candy sneakily took out two Tootsie Rolls and placed them carefully into Sean’s hand.“These are little treats from my teacher today, and I saved them up for you!”Candy lifted her little head and said it with an adorable yet solemn tone.Sean froze for a while, his hands trembled slightly as he caressed Candy’s little head.Two miserable years.It was all it took for Sean to experience how rare and precious it was to be held dear and remembered by someone else.Children were not usually ill-willed.The care she had for Sean was genuine.“Uncle Sean, mommy said you’re all better now.“What illness did you have?”Candy, as she was leaning into Sean’s embrace asked innocently.Sean chuckled as he nodded, then he answered her solemnly.“Last time, Uncle Sean had forgotten some things.“But now, I’ve r
Rachel Summer’s tone of voice was tinged with sadness.“Okay, okay, I know you’d still want to wait for that Commander of yours, right?“Well… I don’t think you have to dwell on that dilemma too long. Who knows? Maybe after you’re back, you’d meet him somewhere while you’re walking on the streets?“It’s true what people say, ‘if you want to hide for a while, hide in the woods, but if you wanna hide for a long time, hide in the cities’.”Willow consoled Rachel softly as she meant what she said with all seriousness.“I know, Willow.“Let’s not talk more about this. When I’m back, I’ll eat from your hand, yea!”Rachel was silent for a while before she waved her hands slightly and joked.“No problem. I now manage the subbranch!“When you’re back, I’ll be sure to give you a job.”Willow answered with feigned arrogance as she chirped happily.“Wow! I’ll be sure to go to you then!”Rachel wowed Willow and they both hung up after that.Just as Willow placed her phone down, she tho
“My son is so precious that no one has ever laid even a finger on him since he was born. So, how dare a cripple’s daughter hit him?“I’ve gotta let all of you know that no one can even touch a single hair on my son’s body!”Mr. Lowe huffed coldly, picked up his cup of tea, and took a sip.Haughty disdain filled the faces of the little boy and his mother.The few teachers that were in the office looked at how arrogant this family of three is and frowned.They were displeased with the aggressive, unforgiving attitude displayed by them.However, what could they dare say if Principal Leed herself was so polite and courteous to Mr. Lowe?“No room for discussion?”Sean Lennon looked at Mr. Lowe and spoke faintly.“Who are you to have any discussion with me?”Mr. Lowe glanced at Sean’s wheelchair and snickered arrogantly, aggressively, unforgivingly.“Okay.”Sean nodded slightly. “Let’s… not discuss it then.”As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled Candy gently before him.“C
Beating her at her own game.Giving her a taste of her own medicine.The moment Sean finished speaking, silence filled the office once again.That was exactly what Principal Leed said, just a few moments ago.In merely a few seconds, Sean had fed Principal Leed her own words.Principal Leed cradled her face, dumbfounded. The other teachers that were present were shocked to the core.Mr. Lowe and his family stared with bulging eyes.They wanted to say something in return, but they were at a loss for words.All of them had thought that the reason Sean asked Candy and her mother to leave was that he did not want to apologize to Mr. Lowe right in front of Candy since for a parent to apologize to others right in front of their child, was an affront to their dignity.It was only then that they realized, the only reason Sean asked for them to leave was that he did not want Candy to see him in action!“You slapped a woman! How dare you slap a woman?!”Principal Leed was shaking with
“Don’t bite off more than you can chew, young lad!“In the vastness of River City, there are people that you cannot afford to anger.”Mr. Lowe scoffed, his tone was filled with threats.“Forget about River City. Even if it’s the entire world,“There’s no one that I, Sean Lennon cannot afford to anger.“Who do you think you are?”Sean Lennon turned his wheelchair slowly as he closed in on Mr. Lowe.“You! You!”At that moment, a sense of foreboding filled Mr. Lowe’s heart.“I’m a reasonable person.“My child is bitten by the dog that is your child.“You’ve got to give me a reasonable explanation and way forward regarding this matter, right?”Mr. Lowe scoffed. “I’d like to hear what you want from us.”“A hundred thousand dollars of medical compensation fees.“And, a public apology before all the teachers and students of this kindergarten.”Silence filled the office once more.Who knew that everything that Sean had done was to prepare for this moment?Candy, who may be sti
In the two years of Sean Lennon being at the Quinns, there were indeed a few of them who did not regard him with disdain.However, most of the Quinn family thought that Sean was a loser.Initially, even Leah did not expect Sean to be able to solve their problems for them.However, Sean’s actions just now dropped her jaw.Even though it was a little violent…“Sean, thank you…”Leah cupped her hands together and spoke.“No worries.“Even if it wasn’t for me, the Quinn family would be able to settle this as well.”Sean’s expressions were unchanging as he said faintly.“I don’t think so…“My mother-in-law said that it’s a common thing for children to squabble, so I should not expect the Quinn family to stand up for me in every little thing because it’s shameful.”Leah sighed softly as she lamented with Candy in her arms.As a daughter-in-law of the Quinns, she was not in favor without her husband, and for having a daughter that could not carry on their family name.Sean did n
Why would a VIP like that come to a little town like River City?“Sadly, we don’t even know what the VIP’s name is.”Another one of the middle-aged men sighed as she shook his head.For all of them to reach where they were, it was no secret that they were all backed up with support.They either had a mammoth of a corporation behind them, or a certain someone above them.Today, at the same time, all of them had received word from the power behind them that a certain VIP was going to visit River City, and they were to try all they can to establish a relationship with this VIP.However, no one was sure who exactly this VIP was.All they knew were information they had gathered through unconventional means.Even though it was news from unconventional means, it was enough for them to take it seriously.“My higher-ups told me that this VIP is possibly here for a family visit.”“He’s here for an old friend.”A man with glasses spoke softly.“Gasp!”Everyone was shocked.Family vi
"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
