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

Caitlyn, May, and everyone present widened their eyes.They often accepted donations from charitable people.The orphanage had been operating for years, and May alone would not have been able to get by without social support.There were many charitable people, but it was rare to see someone who would send over two trucks worth of goods like this at one go.May and Caitlyn were instantly stunned at the sight of it.Albert and his group even had excitement in their eyes."Catie, this isn't all for us, is it?"May touched her forehead, equally happy.She was not greedy, but she had difficulty supporting so many children's daily necessities alone.With the supplies, she could make life more comfortable for the children.It was what made her happy."Aunt May, it must be for us!"Why else would they come to us?"Caitlyn nodded and was so excited that she spoke incoherently."But who sent it?"Why didn't they contact us beforehand?"May was confused.In the past, most people

However, Zander ignored them and walked to the front, instructing the two trucks to back in.Two trucks loaded with supplies slowly backed into the yard.Then a dozen more porters came down and began to carry the goods."Thank you. Thank you!"Caitlyn's excited little face blushed as she went up to a box full of milk.Although she was not tall, she was quite strong."Put them down. I'll do it."Just tell us where to put them."Zander smiled and took over the milk from Caitlyn."Yes! Yes!"Caitlyn nodded and trotted ahead."Well, aren't you going to put them outside?"May hesitated for a while before asking."Outside? What do you mean?"Zander looked at May in confusion."People would put the supplies outside for reporters to take pictures of when they donated."They will call out all the kids to take pictures with us too."Caitlyn explained quietly.Zander shook his head at this.Sean also sighed a little.Sean would not judge whether what they did was right.They

"Mr. Lennon asked me to buy these."Zander handed the list to Sean."Aunt May, I didn't buy too much, or it would expire if you have too much."I'll have more delivered if you run out."Sean nodded gently and smiled as he replied in acknowledgment."Hsss!"Everyone gasped sharply when they got Sean's affirmation.Several of the orphanage's staff, who rushed over after getting word of the supplies, were also full of shock.Albert and his group even dropped their jaws.All these supplies and water purifiers were probably worth at least six figures.Six figures—hundreds of thousands of dollars was probably only the cost of a meal for so many people.However, it was a huge sum for the orphanage, which had no source of income.These supplies could be a great help to the orphanage."Brother Sean, you're amazing!"Caitlyn's eyes were so full of admiration that they were shimmering. May did not expect Sean to send over supplies worth hundreds of thousands of dollars either.It
