Seeing this, Lillian quickly ran after Sean.
“Mr. Lennon, let me accompany you back to the army camp…”
“I’m a man. Do I need you to send me?” Sean snapped after turning around to glance at Lillian.
Lillian instantly blushed, feeling a little scared. “Mr. Lennon, don’t be mad about what just happened. My uncle misunderstood you. He meant no harm.”
“I know favonovel.com meant no harm. Otherwise, would I have let favonovel.com go?” Sean said, glancing back at Frederic and the other guests.
His eyes were calm, but Frederic and the customers felt as if they were being cut with a knife, and they were terrified.
“To avoid further misunderstandings, you’d better not see me again, Ms. Townsend…” Sean said and headed for the door.
However, favonovel.com then thought of the ancient bronze sword fragment, and maybe Lillian or favonovel.com father had other clues.
He stopped near the door and said, “Of course, if you have news about the ancient bronze sword fragment, you have my permission to see me at the army camp…”
Once Sean left, the atmosphere in the store finally resumed its previous liveliness.
A large group of customers gathered around Lillian, asking questions excitedly.
“Ms. Townsend, that man turned out to be the commander-in-chief of the city defense army! How do you know him?”
“I didn’t expect the commander-in-chief to be so young. Ms. Townsend, favonovel.com won’t blame us for what we just said, right?”
“Ms. Townsend, Commander Lennon doesn’t seem interested in you. What a shame. If favonovel.com were interested in you, the Townsend family would prosper…”
These people were saying earlier that Sean would be lucky to marry Lillian. However, they changed their statements as if they had forgotten what they had said.
Frederic walked over and said to Lillian, “You brat! Watch how I’ll teach you a lesson if you don’t explain!”
After returning to the army camp, Sean held both ancient bronze sword fragments in his hands as favonovel.com observed them. He had found it strange from the first moment favonovel.com saw the ancient bronze sword at the Townsend family house yesterday. However, favonovel.com could not tell what was strange.
He had a strange feeling that these fragments must hold a secret!
He now had two pieces of fragments, piecing together two-thirds of the entire ancient bronze sword. He only lacked the last piece. It was time to examine the secret the fragments held.
“Zander!”
As soon as Sean spoke, Zander strode in from outside.
“Commander, what do you need?” Zander asked respectfully.
“Take these two fragments to the tech department and have them examined. Hurry!” Sean ordered.
“Yes!”
Zander took the fragments and left.
He hurried back about half an hour later. Zander did not come back empty-handed. He was holding a copy of the test results.
“Commander, we’ve tested them. The fragments aren’t antiques from ancient times. It’s a modern military dagger, only specially made to look worn. Most importantly, it contains a map and a numerical code!”
With that said, Zander put the test results on Sean’s desk.
The ancient bronze sword fragments did hold a secret!
Judging from the report, it was not a small secret!
Sean had already found the ancient bronze sword intensely strange at his first sight of it in the Townsend family house. He had always trusted his instincts.
