“Got it…” Sean nodded.
Then Quentin hung up.
A short time later, 800 thousand dollars was credited to Sean’s bank account. It was the money Sean spent on Shania’s necklace, which Quentin sort of paid back to Sean.
Just then, Zander strode in.
“Commander, has Killer X been caught?” Zander asked with a smile.
Assassins had always been scary and would destabilize a city. Thus, Zander was strongly hostile to assassins. Now that Killer X was caught, favonovel.com was happy, of course.
“Yes, but favonovel.com died before we could get anything from the interrogation, so I think there’s more to this. I’ll lift the lockdown in a few days,” said Sean.
“Got it!” Zander gave a heavy nod.

Night soon fell.
The canteen of the army camp was crowded. After a day‘s training, the soldiers were tired but full of spirit.
Although tired, their faces were glowing. They chatted and laughed with their comrades while getting dinner, occasionally telling dirty jokes.
Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out in the canteen.
“What are you doing? Are you cutting in line?”
“Cutting in line? You’re the one who cut in line! I’ve been waiting in line for a long time!”
“You’re obviously the one cutting in line. I just went to the washroom, and you stole my spot!”
“Who told you to go to the washroom? You have to get back in line after going to the washroom!”
“F*ck you! Say that again!”
“Should I repeat what I said just because you asked me to? Who do you think you are?!”
“Let’s fight outside if you dare!”
“Let’s go! I’m not afraid of you!”
Such arguments happen every day, and the soldiers were used to them. Thus, the soldiers heckled instead of stopping them.
The two soldiers had already started fighting before leaving the canteen.
Seeing the two men getting increasingly violent that bloodshed was about to happen, a figure suddenly came in and separated the two soldiers!
Frightened, the two soldiers wanted to resist, but someone grabbed their shoulders. They could not get away no matter what!
“Commander-in-chief!”
Only then did the soldiers realize who had separated those who were fighting!
It was Sean!
“What are you doing?” Sean asked with a frown as favonovel.com separated them.
The two soldiers stood to attention, saluted, and explained, “Commander-in -chief, I’m queueing for dinner, but favonovel.com cut in line!”
“Commander-in-chief, he’s the one cutting in line!”
There was no telling who was right or wrong in this.
Sean looked at the two and chided, ’How can city defense soldiers fight over such a thing? It’s ridiculous.”
The two soldiers lowered their heads in shame, not daring to argue.
“Zander, bring me my meal and give it to him! Bring yours too!”
“Yes!” Zander immediately replied in acknowledgment, brought his and Sean’s meals, and placed them in front of the two soldiers.
The expressions of the soldiers around favonovel.com changed when they saw that.
No one expected the city defense army’s commander-in-chief to give away his meal to the average soldier!
