Fion was laughing while Kent was speechless.

...

Six o'clock in the evening.

Willow pushed the door open, a little exhausted.

She unbuttoned her clothes while kicking off her heels.

Today, she was not only exhausted from work but also disappointed.

Quill and Homer's visit shattered her newfound expectations for Sean.

"Willow, the car ran out of petrol, so I didn't go pick..."

Sean came out and tried to explain.

However, Willow waved her hand slightly and interrupted Sean without even looking at him.

It was as if she was not in the mood to listen to Sean.

"What happened?"

Sean asked Willow as he frowned slightly.

"What happened? Would it help if I told you?

"Sometimes I think my mother's right.

"How naive of me. You can't even afford the petrol!

"It's ridiculous that I believed you can do anything else. I mean I'm ridiculous."

Willow shook her head slightly and slowly sat down on the couch in a quiet trance.

"Willow..."

Sean was very confused.

Willow was happy when s

    Yesterday.As Sean left the private room, he said something to Jeremy."I think the guard position suits you."Then Jeremy, out of nowhere, brought a gift and apologized to Sean.Sean said he would not be able to even guard the main gate if he continued talking nonsense.Willow did not think much about it back then, only finding it a relief for her anger.'But now that I think about it, Sean's confidence and Jeremy's humble attitude...'It seems there's something more to this...'Confused, Willow turned to look at Fion."Mom, what are you talking about?"What on earth is going on?"Willow asked in a whisper as she frowned."Haha!"Fion laughed and put the groceries on the table."Isn't there something your dad's been trying to solve all this time?"I saw him so frustrated that he struggled to sleep all night, so I thought I'd ask Jeremy for help."Guess what? Hahaha! We saw him in a security uniform guarding the main gate. Haha!"He said he wanted someone else to be th

    "Perhaps."With Sean's character, he would not explain too much.He told Hayden yesterday that Jeremy preferred the gate guarding position.They also agreed they would consider what Sean said if Mr. Luke's health improved.If he did not get better, they would assume Sean never said it.Now it seemed that Hayden's health had improved."We're not supposed to gloat, but Lucy and her family did need a lesson."Kent put the food in his hand down and said, "Sean was right to do that."Willow felt strangely happy when she heard that.Sean getting Kent and Fion's approval made Willow more excited than when she got into a prestigious university.She had no idea why though.Fion looked at Sean and did not retort like she usually would."Willow, come and help me."I'm in a good mood today, so I'm going to show you what I can do."Fion said with a smile as she rolled up her sleeves."Oh, okay."When Willow heard that, all her fatigue was gone.Fion had not cooked once in the two y

    "I see."Kent saw that Sean did not want to say anymore, so he stopped asking."Dinner! Dinner!"Dad, hurry over and wash your hands. Sean, I'll get you some water."Willow walked to the kitchen door and spoke to Sean and Kent."Okay!"Sean smiled and nodded.They enjoyed the meal.A rare coziness slowly spread through the family.Sean listened most of the time while everyone at the dinner table talked.Fion and the rest also knew Sean was a man of few words, so they let him be.With a spoon and a fork in hand, Sean glanced over the three people's faces.He suddenly felt emotional.His heart, which was once fiercely tough, had softened considerably.There was a time when everything Fion did disgusted him.However, putting himself in her shoes, who would willingly marry off their daughter to a cripple?Therefore, Sean's initial dislike of Fion had dissipated quite a bit.Sean was willing to protect them as long as they changed....After dinner.Willow went back to h

    "Garden balsam stem, female ginseng, milkvetch roots, common clubmoss herb..."Sean took a pen and began writing down.Female ginseng had antioxidants and could nourish the blood.It could treat nerve damage caused by ischemia.The microelements in milkvetch roots could protect nerves.It could remove free radicals and be conducive to the growth of nerve cells."With my condition, it has to be the strong stuff.‘So the age of the herbs is important.’Sean thought as he marked the year behind the herbs.Soon, Sean listed seven or eight herbs on a piece of paper.Sean had given Old Madam Quinn a pill on her birthday.Quill crushed the pill with his foot.Sean was the only one who knew how many rich and powerful people would fight over that pill.It was very precious.However, if he made this pill, that pill was no match for this one.Sean only had to take this pill and do the special needle treatment.He would get twice the result with half the effort.Sean was 200% conf

    Mr. Lowe had set everything in a few words.Jack nodded slightly and said, "That makes sense. Let's do it."Leah's face turned pale as she gritted her teeth and said, "I don’t have that kind of money."They were not favored by the Quinn family. It might also be a difficult task for Simon—the favorite member if he asked the Quinn family for two million dollars.Therefore, there was no way she was going to get the money."You can't afford it? How dare you behave so arrogantly if you can't afford it?"You even dared to casually beat people up. How pompous of you!"I'm telling you. There are people in River City you can't afford to cross."Mr. Lowe snorted coldly and said as he flicked his sleeve."I never care if I can afford to beat someone up."It depends on whether I want to beat them up."Once Mr. Lowe finished, there was suddenly a voice outside the door.Then the door opened, and Sean propelled his wheelchair into the room."Uncle..."Candy's face lit up as soon as she

    Everyone in the room turned around when they heard the sound.Only Sean looked calm and did not bat an eye.Jack made a gesture to call someone but paused."Mr... Mr. Larson?"Mr. Larson, what are you..."Once Jack saw who the visitor was, he immediately came forward with a smile, but he had a confused look in his eyes.Behind him, Mr. Lowe's eyes widened slightly as he quickly smiled.However, he did not come forward to speak.With his position, he did not even deserve to talk to him.It was Homer Larson.With Larson Pharmaceuticals' reputation in River City, no one could approach them easily.Let alone Mr. Lowe."Mr. Tomme, I have a question."Do you have any other business than the one publicly known?"I just heard Mr. Tomme say..."Homer said indifferently with an unfriendly look on his face.The attitude confused Jack.'Something's wrong...'Homer and Jack were not strangers.They both led famous companies in River City, so they had met each other many times.T

    Homer slowly turned his head and muttered to Sean.He was humble and sounded respectful.The room fell into a dead silence again.Homer wore an expensive suit costing no less than five figures.The custom-made Rolex Submariner watch on his wrist even cost more than six figures.He was accompanied by eight bodyguards in suits and ties, showing off his supremacy.However, the supreme and distinguished Homer was now being respectful to a cripple in a wheelchair!The... the sharp contrast made everyone's eyes widen."Hsss!"Leah could not resist reaching out her hand and covering her mouth.Candy's eyes moved around, thinking about something.Mr. Lowe and Jack's faces instantly turned ghastly pale.They had no idea that Mr. Lennon, who Homer spoke of, was the cripple in front of them!Jack thought Sean was just a nobody.Now it seemed that he was quite capable!"This...

    "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
