“What? I’m not allowed to attend?” George looked furious as favonovel.com clenched his fists.
He had long coveted the daughter of Dorodo’s Mayor Quentin, Shania. Besides that, favonovel.com had begged his father several times to arrange for favonovel.com to approach Shania.
The ball was supposed to be his chance to approach Shania. He did not expect Sean to not ban favonovel.com from joining!
D*mn it!
George hated Sean so much that favonovel.com wanted to cut favonovel.com to pieces!
Wesley gave a long sigh and said, “Who told you to make that mistake? Besides, you’ve also been involved with indecent women. Sean’s right. It’s pointless for you to attend the ball. Besides, you’d be looked down upon if anyone told Quentin and Shania about you. So forget it this time. Stay in the army base and don’t go anywhere.”
“But…”
George tried to defend himself, but Wesley chided, “No buts!”
Seeing that his father was angry, George could only bitterly shut up.

It was soon the day of the ball.
As night fell, the mayor of Dorodo’s mansion was ablaze with lights.
The bright hall was bustling as guests dressed to the nines chatted with each other as they held their wine glasses. One could tell that the ball’s attendees were members of Dorodo’s high society.
Mayor Quentin held hands with his daughter, Shania, as favonovel.com mingled among the guests.
Quentin was in his late fifties. His square face made favonovel.com look imposing, and his expression was always serious. The only time favonovel.com smiled was when favonovel.com looked at his daughter.
Sean did not come forward immediately. He stood quietly in the corner, drinking wine slowly. The bright red wine was like blood. It tasted faintly spicy when drinking it.
“Is this wine considered liquor when you can’t get drunk no matter how much you drink?” Sean said flatly.
Gregory and Anthony standing nearby said nothing.
Sean had subjugated them, but they did not want to suck up to him.
Instead, Wesley nodded and said, “Yes, Dragon Kingdom people should drink white wine. Red wine tastes just like soft drinks.”
Just then, a burst of laughter came suddenly.
Sean turned around to look and immediately saw the mayor of Dorodo, Quentin, approaching with his daughter, Shania. Besides that, the other guests followed.
Quentin greeted Sean warmly before favonovel.com arrived.
“Are you Sean Lennon, the new commander-in-chief of the city defense army? What a promising young man! Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend my daughter’s birthday party, Commander Lennon… It’s an honor to have you here.”
Sean stepped forward and shook hands with Quentin.
“I should be the one to thank you, Mayor Lewis. Your support of Dorodo’s city defense army over the years has been tremendous, and your service to the Dragon Kingdom has been extraordinary. I thank you on behalf of our soldiers,” Sean said and finished his wine in one gulp.
The mayor of Dorodo, Quentin, laughed and finished his wine.
He put down his glass and said, “Commander Lennon, you’re too kind. My little contribution is nothing. Besides, I support the city defense army in hopes that you will defend Dorodo and protect defenseless citizens like us.”
