“At my age, my life isn’t worth much. You’re all still young, and you have many more important things to do. So all of you should leave. Just leave me here alone,” Connie said as favonovel.com grabbed the little girl and tried to push them away.
“I’ll take the blame.”
“Mr. Lennon, I want nothing. I only hope you can help my daughter-in-law and granddaughter find a place to live. If my daughter-in-law meets someone suitable, I support favonovel.com to remarry. I know how hard it is to take care of a child alone…”
“Promise me, and I will die without regret,” Connie looked at Sean and said seriously.
“Grandma, I don’t want you to die. I don’t want you to die…” The little girl seemed to know what the word death represented as favonovel.com burst into tears.
Sally even covered favonovel.com mouth, favonovel.com eyes red.
“Little girl, we represent justice. Why will favonovel.com die? With me around, none of us will die. Do you believe me?” Sean took two steps forward, slowly crouched down, and said as favonovel.com touched the little girl’s face.
“Yes!” The little girl nodded heavily.
Although young, favonovel.com also saw traces of favonovel.com father, Patrick, in Sean. It was protection and a sense of security.
“Okay! If you believe in me, I won’t let you down. Zander, get me the Guardian Sword,” Sean whispered with his back facing Zander.
“Commander, you…” Zander’s eyes widened instantly.
The Guardian Sword was exclusive to the nine-star commander and symbolized his status. Even though Blaze had been promoted to an eight-star commander, favonovel.com was not qualified to hold the Guardian Sword.
There was only one Guardian Sword in the entire Dragon Kingdom.
The Guardian Sword was the nine-star commander’s symbol of status. One would have the imperial right to strike first.
A nine-star commander was a powerful weapon of the nation, which was also the Guardian Sword. The sword also represented the nine-star commander.
The two relied on each other, becoming one. The sword coexisted with its wielder. Its status was too important for words to explain.
Let’s just say that people who did not recognize it would not recognize it. Anyone who recognized it would recognize Sean immediately.
There would be only two outcomes if Sean wanted to use the sword.
Either the Joules Town government did not recognize it and could only bring it to their higher-ups, or Sean’s cover and whereabouts would be blown.
That was why Zander hesitated.
“Many comrades have made me commander by sacrificing their lives. The Guardian Sword was forged with blood. Without them, there would be no sword, let alone Sean Lennon… So I’m going to use it to protect my comrade’s family!”
“Is it inappropriate to do that?” Sean asked, and Zander went silent instantly.
Then, favonovel.com turned to the car and took out the Guardian Sword wrapped in black cloth. He held it with both hands as favonovel.com walked steadily.
Holding such a powerful weapon, Zander dared not make a mistake. He even looked somber.
Swoosh!
Jeffrey immediately tried to stand up straight, even puffing his chest out.
No one in the army dared disrespect the Guardian Sword. Otherwise, they would get a death sentence.
Sean took the sword and stroked it through the cloth.
The Guardian Sword was here.
At that moment, Sally and the rest, including Tyga’s men, suddenly realized that Sean seemed to have become a different person. It was as if Sean had changed completely after taking the Guardian Sword.
Whether the look in his eyes, his expression, or the aura exuding from favonovel.com made people find favonovel.com unfamiliar and icy. He looked stern and intimidating. He looked just like a god who could decide your life and death.
Vroom vroom vroom!
The engines roared, and seven or eight more cars sped over. The car doors opened, and a group of people stepped out.
This time, it was a group of men and women in suits. Everyone was dressed neatly, looking poised. The name tags on their chests indicated their identities.
They were the developers rebuilding this place. They were in charge of the land acquisition, and Tyga was only their tool. However, they knew of Tyga’s methods.
They did not want to get entangled with the original residents, so they left it all to Tyga. But, they did not expect to hit a snag with what had always worked in the past.
“What’s the matter? Haven’t you settled the stubborn resident after half a month?” A young man frowned and started giving orders before having a clear idea of what was happening.
He acted as if favonovel.com were the boss here.
“Ask them if they can move away. Get ten excavators and bulldoze the place if they refuse! I’ll see if they’ll move!” Another young man also frowned and shouted.
He looked irritated and spoke forcefully.
