Chapter 1789
The crowd that followed immediately went wild.These people wanted to watch how Sean saved lives or what he could do, and they were unhappy that Yvonne's mother was keeping them out of the house.They dared not shout at Sean, but Yvonne's mother was just an ordinary woman supporting her family by prostituting herself. You could say that she lived at the bottom of the hierarchy, so they would not respect Yvonne's mother, of course."Get out of the way! Who are you to stand in our way?""Yeah, Commander Lennon has already cured your husband. We are still waiting for Commander Lennon to help us. You've gone too far by keeping us from seeing Commander Lennon!""You can't kick down the ladder!"With so many people shouting, an ordinary woman would probably not be able to handle it.However, Yvonne's mother was tough. She put her hands on her waist and shouted, "My daughter brought Commander Lennon here. Without my daughter, you wouldn't even have met him! Why don't you try laying a h

"Hold out your hand."Sean ordered without the slightest hesitation.Feeling the terrifying pressure emanating from Sean, the woman shuddered with fear.'How the h*ll is he a doctor?'He's a demon who has killed countless people!'How could my husband bring back such a horrifying man?'Another five minutes passed, and Sean walked out of the man's house with Zander and Yvonne."Take me to your house to treat your daughter."Sean looked at a middle-aged man and spoke.After treating a dozen people in a row, Sean's forehead began to sweat.At the sight of this, Yvonne dampened a towel with water, wrung it out, and ran over to help Sean wipe his sweat.However, instead of letting her help him wipe his sweat, Sean took the towel from her hand and wiped the sweat on his forehead himself.Although he had cured many people, Sean knew there were probably many more patients and injured people who had not been treated.After all, there were two or three thousand people in the slum—al

Sean was treating an old man with a leg injury.The old man was herding sheep on a nearby hillside when he injured his calf with a sickle while cutting grass for his sheep.Although the wound was not particularly deep, his wound became infected and festered because it was not treated in time.Sean's treatment for such injuries was simple. He would cut off the rotten parts around the wound, disinfect the remaining area, and stitch it up.As soon as Sean completed the treatment, several journalists, led by Zander, walked over and surrounded Sean.Reporters with microphones swarmed around Sean while cameramen pointed at him with cannon-like cameras on their shoulders."Are you Sean Lennon, the commander-in-chief of Dorodo's city defense army?"One beautiful female reporter asked."Yes."Sean nodded.Hearing Sean's confirmation, the female reporter and other reporters looked excited."Why did you take time out of your busy schedule to come to the slum and give free treatment to

Quentin forced a smile as he spoke of it.He touched his daughter Shania's head and said earnestly, "Shania, you shouldn't get involved. Knowing too much may have a bad effect on you, so stay out of this... Get some rest, Dear. Sweet dreams."'Sweet dreams?'After what I've been through today, how am I gonna have sweet dreams?'I'm probably going to have a hard time just trying to fall asleep!'Shania complained in her head but did not refute her father. She quickly nodded and said with a smile, "I got it, Dad. I'm going back to my room to sleep. You should rest early too.""Yeah, go to bed, dear."Quentin nodded.His smile faded as he watched Shania leave the living room and walk down the hallway.Holding his chin, Quentin was lost in thought.'Why would Sean, the commander-in-chief of Dorodo's city defense army, focus on the poverty situation?'It doesn't make sense.'People in high places tend to stay out of ordinary people's lives and ignore what happens to ordinary peo
Chapter 1793
The poverty class referred to people living in the west part of the city and barely surviving.It was difficult to jump from one class to a higher one because of the severe stratification. It required not only economic support but also the recognition of the higher class.Thus, the former mayors encountered huge resistance when handling poverty. Almost everyone in the wealthy class and the middle class was opposed to improving the status of the poverty class and making their lives better.It was because the poverty class was equivalent to cheap labor. Improving their quality of life and status would shake the interests of the wealthy class and the middle class—especially the wealthy class.Other than stratification, another factor that prevented poverty from being properly addressed was the economy and productivity at that time.Now, economic and productivity growth seemed to be out of the question.Therefore, they should focus on the wealthy class if they wanted to deal with pov

Just then, Sean's phone on the desk buzzed suddenly.He picked up his phone, looked at it, and smiled."It’s Quentin."Zander said immediately, "Perhaps the mayor wanted to ask you about the slum. Ms. Lewis must have told him what happened today after she got home.""Yeah, that should be it."As soon as Sean got through, Quentin's voice came from the phone."Commander Lennon, I'm sorry for calling you so late," Quentin said apologetically."It’s okay. I haven't gone to bed yet."Sean said calmly.Then Quentin asked about the slum. "Commander Lennon, you're the commander-in-chief of Dorodo's city defense army. You control everything in the city defense army. And I'm the mayor of Dorodo, so the slum's problem is supposed to be under my...""But you didn't, did you?"Sean's remark left Mayor Quentin over the line silent for several seconds.After a while, Mayor Quentin smiled wryly and said, "It seems you care about Dorodo's slum problem, Commander Lennon.""Of course."Sean
Chapter 1795
It meant Dorodo's city defense army was no longer the same!With control of such a united force, even Mayor Quentin would have to bow before Sean!Of course, Sean had not done anything to embarrass Quentin so far, and the two had always had a good relationship.Though Quentin was unhappy with issues about the slum, he had no choice but to acquiesce."Alright. Since it's your decision, I'm sure you'll manage it well. I want Dorodo to flourish and thrive. Commander Lennon, I don't think you would want to see an economically recessed and impoverished Dorodo.""Of course."Sean nodded.After hanging up, Sean exhaled lightly."Quentin delegated all authority in dealing with the slum to me."Zander did not look surprised at Sean's words.It was because Sean had always been that way since a long time ago.If he entered a regiment, he would be its backbone.If he joined a force, he would be its ruler.If he formed a consortium, he would be its head.It had never changed since Zan
Chapter 1796
He quickly put on his glasses and carefully read the article that had taken up the whole page of the newspaper."Commander Lennon has taken over the slum's governance? Is this a joke?"Seeing her father's reaction, Lillian vaguely knew something was wrong.The slum's issues had plagued Dorodo for so long that the slum on the west was Dorodo's cancer. Several previous mayors had tried addressing it but failed.It was a good thing that Commander Lennon had now personally gotten involved in the slum's governance!However, why did her father's expression look so ghastly?"Dad, is there something wrong with this?"Lillian pondered before asking tentatively.Ronald put down the newspaper, took a long breath, and said, "Of course. Commander Lennon wants to fight poverty and make life better for the poor in the west. There's nothing wrong with that. He's a good and kind man to have such ideas. But the problem is that the slum is so complicated that I'm afraid he won't be able to handle
