Chapter 1231
An elderly man in a loose robe stretched his arms slowly as he narrowed his eyes on a vacant space in front of a house.The old man looked 50 or 60 years old.His hair was mostly gray.However, he seemed to be in good spirits.He was hale and hearty if you described him with two words.The old man's name was William Collins.He held no official position in Joules Town and had little contact with government officials.Not many people—even those within the Joules Town government—knew about the Collins family.However, anyone who knew the Collins family would know how terrifying they were.William's descendants were also pillars of Dragon Kingdom.It would take more than three days and nights to finish talking about Old Master Collins' achievements in the army.Had it not been for his underlying illness that year, forcing him to leave the army, he would have been the supreme leader now.However, even though he had long since left the army, no one dared to look down on him.Ma

"Are you sure?"William frowned instantly.Ever since he left the army, he had rarely involved himself in the army's affairs to avoid getting involved in trouble.Later, Colin was killed in battle, and William suffered a serious illness from which he almost did not recover.From then on, he never asked about anything in the army again.The Collins family would not mention it in front of him either.Therefore, William knew very little about current army affairs.He had only heard about the legendary Sean Lennon, but he did not know the details.He was surprised to see the name.Sean must have a high ranking and should be busy with army affairs.Why did he have time to visit the Collins family?"If I remember correctly, Colin adopted a son named Sean Lennon in Joules Town back then."William was silent for a few seconds before speaking quietly."Yes, Old Master Collins."The servant paused for a moment before nodding truthfully.Very few people in the Collins family dared

"You'll find out in a minute."William took a sip from his coffee cup, looking calm.William was actually uneasy.The servant had just explained Sean's incident to William.He did not expect that such a big change had occurred these years.Hubert nodded and waited in silence, suppressing his curiosity.Soon two servants knocked softly at the living room door."Old Master, Master, the guest has arrived."After a servant reported, Sean walked in slowly.Hubert immediately looked at Sean.The first impression was that he was too young.After all, with Old Master Collins' status, not everyone could meet him just because they wanted to.The average person did not even have the right to visit.Most visitors were those with statuses and over 40.Sean was the first young visitor in a long while.Then Hubert felt that there was something extraordinary about Sean.He was young, but his pair of deep eyes seemed to have seen many things."Old Master Collins, I'm Sean Lennon."Sea

Hubert was also shocked.Of course, he knew about Sean.He had heard about the incident in the Northwest Army two years ago.Some said Sean had died in battle, while some said Sean was discharged from the army due to serious injuries. Some even said Sean mysteriously disappeared after someone picked him up.It had been two years since anyone heard from him.Hubert was surprised when Sean showed up."I heard you've been discharged from the army for two years."It's been a tough two years, hasn't it?"William asked quietly, looking at Sean."It's been a little tough."Fortunately, I met a savior who took care of me and saved my life."Sean nodded gently without giving away Willow's name."With your wits and Colin's teachings, you shouldn't have made such a huge mistake."It was true that the older you were, the wiser you were.As soon as William heard the servant's story, he knew something was wrong.After decades of fighting in the army, he could guess the general outcome

Swoosh!Sean's movement slowed to a halt.However, Sean's subsequent reaction took William by surprise.He thought that Sean would turn around excitedly after he called him.However, Sean did not turn around and only asked indifferently, "What is it?"He did not sound like someone asking for help.William was somewhat dissatisfied.Because even Colin dared not speak with that attitude in front of him."You gave up easily at the slightest setback."You're not persistent at all. How did you get promoted to a nine-star commander?"William asked, looking at Sean and frowning."I don't have to report my past to you, Old Master Collins."Sean's indifferent words caused William to frown again.He found Sean extremely arrogant!Sean was polite to William when he first came in.He became a different person in a few minutes."You treated me respectfully because you wanted to ask for something from me."Now that I refused to help you, your attitude changed immediately. Did Colin

"Old Master, Commander Lennon speaks the truth."Hubert whispered.William nodded gently and looked Sean in the eye again for nearly ten seconds."I'm not trying to morally blackmail the Collins family."What the Collins family does is none of my business."But I'm a Dragon Kingdom citizen. Even if I stand alone, I will do my best to keep it safe."Both William and Sean were touched by Sean's words.They saw persistence and determination in Sean's eyes."I've retired for many years, and army affairs are beyond my reach."Ten days from now, a big shot surnamed Lupin will be visiting Joules Town from Janestown. He'll be visiting the Collins family as well."William paused slowly, observing Sean's expression.However, Sean's eyes were calm. He made no signs of speaking."But then again, society is pragmatic."If you want to talk with someone, you must have something worth talking about."In a word, you have to be a good blacksmith to make good steel."If you can make a name

Apart from Sean being alone, Sean might not succeed even if William had helped.Not even Sean's adoptive father, Colin, would have been able to do that.Therefore, William admitted that he had no confidence in Sean.Hubert was silent for a moment before nodding anyway.It was unknown if Sean could change William's impression of him.William gave Sean ten days to make a name for himself in Joules Town.He was only testing Sean's abilities to see if Sean had the power and the qualifications to have William help him.It all depended on his performance in these ten days....Back in the car.Sean sat in the back seat and said nothing.Zander drove in silence. He had guessed today's outcome."Commander, what are we going to do next?"Zander asked quietly after staying silent for a moment."Let's stay in Joules Town for a few more days. We'll return home if it doesn't work out."Sean looked up gently, his gaze looking utterly deep."Return home?"Zander was stunned.It was

May was usually kind, but she was strict and meticulous about the children's studies."You children started out with little."Without a background, you can't compete using your parents like others."The only way out is to study hard and have a good job someday."Therefore, you cannot dismiss your studies."As May spoke, Caitlyn quickly took May's arm, and her eyes went red.To others, May was only an ordinary middle-aged woman.She had no good looks, no good figure, nor a strong family background.However, May was an angel and a second parent for people like Sean.Sean and the rest would have starved to death on the streets without May.Sean nodded gently and kept them company.The afternoon sun shone as the three sat together and talked.Zander was in the distance, training a dozen little boys.The atmosphere was harmonious.However, a few people soon ruined it.Honk honk!There was a hasty series of car horns.Before Sean could look up, five or six young men and wome
