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

Suddenly seeing that his daughter's expression was not quite right, he quickly added, "Of course, I agree with Commander Lennon. How could I be a Dorodo resident and not care about Dorodo's development? No matter what Commander Lennon decides, I'm firmly on his side!"Lillian's face instantly lit up after hearing Ronald say this.She was afraid that her father would also stand against Commander Lennon. In that case, she would be caught in the middle and not know what to do."Dad, I didn't know you were this open-minded."Lillian praised."Not really..."Ronald smiled bitterly. "The Townsend family is only wealthy but not influential. We have money, but we're not powerful. Those noble families can fight against Commander Lennon, but we can't. If Commander Lennon is upset, he could destroy the Townsend family with one word... I've said too much. I shouldn't have told you this."Ronald emptied his cup of water and stood up."Lill, let's go to the army camp. It's been a long time s
Chapter 1798
Dorodo's east suburban villa area.The villa area was a famous wealthy suburb in Dorodo. People who could afford a villa there were either Dorodo's famous wealthy businessmen or a noble.Three middle-aged men sat on leather couches in the living room of a luxury villa near the center of the villa area.One of them was a man with a stubbly square-shaped face—whose appearance would have given anyone the impression that he was a man of integrity.This man was Elijah, the patriarch of the Walker family.Though the second man was middle-aged, he was fashionably dressed. He wore a loose floral shirt and light green shorts, making him look carefree.This man was Cole, the patriarch of the Stewart family.The third man looked ordinary. Nothing seemed special about him, but his sharp gaze and slight authority showed he was extraordinary.He was Dylan, the patriarch of the Lambert family—one of Dorodo's top five families.Other than the patriarch of the Wosh family, Benedict, and the he

"What's the point of you lashing out at us?"Elijah spread out his hands in a gesture of frustration.Dylan coughed and continued saying, "Whatever Sean does, at least we can't disagree openly. After all, he's the commander-in-chief of the city defense army. He is way above us in rank and status. And he has Dragon Kingdom's military supporting him. How are we going to fight him? We only have to be uncooperative, passive, and unhelpful. Poverty is a chronic problem. Even if he wants to solve it, he can't."After a pause, Dylan said, "Every city in the City-State Union is the same. Is there a city that doesn't have poor people? If Sean can fix poverty, I'll write my name backward!""You're being dramatic, Old Lambert."Elijah was as cordial as ever.Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door.Elijah looked at the door and said, "Come in."With that said, a young man pushed the door open and entered.The young man was Elijah's son, Lionel Walker.Lionel walked in and placed

Elijah said with a chuckle, "We'll donate then. Why not? I can afford a donation... Be generous and give him 100 dollars."'100 dollars?'Elijah, Cole, and Dylan were members of Dorodo's noble families.The top three families had tens of billions of dollars in assets each but donated only 100 dollars. It was obviously ironic!"That's a good idea! Haha, I love it! I can't wait to see the expression on Sean's face when he finds out all three of us only donated 100 dollars."Cole burst out laughing with a look of satisfaction on his face.Dylan also smirked.Elijah turned to look at his son Lionel and said, "Did you hear that? You're going to the fundraising gala with Uncle Cole and Uncle Dylan's son, and you only need to donate 100 dollars.""I got it, Dad!"Lionel nodded vigorously, a smug look on his face.......Two days passed quickly.As night drew closer, lights lit up in front of Dorodo's city defense army's main camp.The lights were not neon, nor were they especia

Quentin kept waving his hands."It's standard protocol."Sean said flatly.In any case, Sean would ask Zander to sort out the money raised, the exact amount, and how it would be spent, and send the details to the mayor's residence for Quentin to have a look.After all, Quentin was the mayor. Sean had overstepped by taking over the slum's issue, so he had to be careful with the donations and not leave any problems behind.It was for his own good as well as for Quentin and the others.Blushing slightly, Shania looked at Sean excitedly and said, "Commander Lennon, I already knew you would address the slum issue, but I never expected you to be so quick and do so much. Do you know what Dorodo's poor call you now?"Sean shook his head slightly."They call you Taquila and say you are the savior of the poor!" Shania said excitedly.Sean broke into laughter. He shook his head and said, "You're being dramatic. It's the least I could do."Sean's attitude surprised both Quentin and Shani

Quentin lowered his voice and explained. "Commander Lennon, you may not know this, but Lionel is the son of Elijah Walker, the patriarch of the Walker family; Solomon is the son of Cole Stewart, the patriarch of the Stewart family; while Nathan is the son of Dylan Lambert, the patriarch of the Lambert family. The three of them are the heirs of important families."After a pause, Quentin continued saying, "Dorodo's top five families are the Wosh family, the Montana family, the Walker family, the Stewart family, and the Lambert family. Lionel teamed up with Solomon and Nathan. The three families have probably formed an alliance."Besides that, they were an alliance against Sean.Quentin did not tell him that, of course. It was because he knew Sean could realize it even if he did not tell him."An alliance... Haha, Mayor Lewis. With the top five families around, it seems your job as mayor isn't easy."Sean said with a smile.Quentin instantly nodded with a bitter smile and said, "Th
Chapter 1803
The city defense soldiers immediately stood at attention and saluted when they saw Sean.Lionel, Solomon, and Nathan also lowered their heads slightly.Although arrogant and haughty, they dared not behave haughtily in front of Sean."What's going on here?"Sean already knew what had happened, but he asked anyway.The city defense soldiers immediately reported loudly, "Commander-in-chief, these three young gentlemen aren't holding their own invitations. It's their father's. Also, they brought too many bodyguards, which doesn't meet the requirements stated on our invitation. So I stopped them, but they unexpectedly refused to leave and are still causing trouble here!"Hearing this, Lionel hurried up to Sean, forced a smile, and said, "Commander Lennon, your men are too incompetent. The rules are dead, but people aren't! It's true that my father and Young Master Lambert's father couldn't attend your gala as they have something to do. That's why our fathers asked us to come to make a
