“We’ve taken over River City, so we have leverage. It’s time to collect our debt.”
Sean put down the coffee cup. The bottom of the cup clinked with the table, making a sharp sound.
Zander took a deep breath before nodding heavily.
In the past two years of Sean’s disappearance, favonovel.com dreamed of following Sean into battle again. That day was finally around the corner.
“Okay! Everything is at your disposal!” Zander nodded heavily and even rubbed his hands together in excitement.
“Tell Harry to speed things up with Lennon Group. Work these things out. I have other things to do.” Sean looked at Zander and said quietly.
“Yes! I got it!” Zander nodded heavily before turning and walking out.
Sean slowly turned around, walked to the floor–to–ceiling window, and looked into the distance. The direction favonovel.com was looking at was Dragon Kingdom’s northwest.
It was home to Dragon Kingdom’s largest military zone. The number of soldiers in the army could reach a million.
Sean’s adoptive father brought favonovel.com there when favonovel.com was only a few years old. He lived, grew up, enlisted in the army, and practiced there. It was where Sean grew up and reached the pinnacle of greatness. It was also where Sean was brought down.
His enemy took his place and preyed on his men. Sean ended up here two years ago when Blaze brought favonovel.com down. He fell into a deep slumber like a tiger stripped of its claws and teeth.
Two years later, the sleeping tiger, Sean, finally woke up.
Taking over River City meant the tiger had regrown its sharp claws. Since it had sharp claws, it would tear open its enemy’s chest.
Blaze, enjoy your last moments…
Sean’s eyes were smiling, but they were icy and creepy.
Blaze was now powerful with millions of troops. However, Sean was undaunted. He had the confidence of a nine-star commander who once commanded a million troops.

At the same time.
River City’s garrison area.
Jason had just heard the news about River City from his subordinate. Then Jon called.
Jason did not want to answer the phone call at first, but favonovel.com could not stand Jon’s constant calls, so favonovel.com could only press answer.
“Mr. Yeast, save me! You gotta save me!” Jon’s desperate voice came through as soon as the line got through.
Jason and Jon had known each other for years. It was the first time favonovel.com heard Jon lose his composure like this.
“How can I save you?” Jason was silent for two seconds before asking indifferently.
“Why can’t you save me? You’re stationed in River City and are influential. You can help me solve my problems if you say something.” Jon gritted his teeth and said to Jason.
“Soldiers don’t participate in politics, and I can’t interfere in the government’s affairs.” Jason was rejecting favonovel.com discreetly.
However, Jon refused to accept it. Even if Jason rejected favonovel.com head-on, favonovel.com would not give up easily. It was because they were desperate.
James had abandoned them. They were now burdened not only with huge debts but also with limited freedom. Jon could not think of anyone else to save them except Jason.
“Jason, are you going to watch me fall to my doom? We’re relatives, and I did you a lot of favors. Have you forgotten all about it?” Jon fumed and called Jason by his first name.
“Whew!” Jason exhaled gently, favonovel.com did not even want to explain.
Jon had indeed done Jason a lot of favors. One of them was when Jon set up Jason’s sister’s job.
Jon also sent Jason’s mother, Old Madam Yeast, to River City. He also provided them with accommodation and arranged for someone to look after Old Madam Yeast. However, Jason had also done the Zimmer family a lot of favors.
He had helped the Zimmer family grow quickly without breaking too many rules.
Sometimes, a piece of advanced information could make the Zimmer family a lot of money. Therefore, Jason had already returned the favor. He did not feel guilty about Jon or owe them anything.
“Are you ignoring me because I’m useless to you now?” Jon said coldly again when seeing Jason’s silence.
“Can you be logical? You’re an adult, not a child! Ignoring you? If I’m ignoring you, you wouldn’t even have access to Jen-Bond Holdings!” Jason slapped the table and yelled into his phone.
It was Jon’s turn to fall silent. After all, everything Jason said was true.
“Talk to Sean for me… As long as you help the Zimmer family get through this, I will do anything for you in the future.” Jon said to Jason after a long silence.
