Sean glanced at Kennedy and said with a smile, "That's the only grudge I have against you two. But you got my fiancée involved. You didn't think you'd get away with it, did you? Why should I waste so much time in Ocean City if we can move past it just because you apologized?"Kennedy fell to the ground, knowing the Lake family was doomed.No! The Lake family's first branch was doomed. "There's no point in crying over spilled milk. Curtis has always been arrogant because he's the heir of the Lake family's first branch. Those he bullied in the past were too scared to speak out and seek revenge. But Curtis was a fool to kidnap Mr. Lennon's fiancée. Isn't he asking for trouble?" Titus said with a sneer, making the situation worse.Slumped on the ground with a desolate expression, Kennedy seemed to think of something before his eyes glimmered suddenly. Then, he stumbled into the Lake Residence house.Sean did not stop him. Kennedy could only pin his hopes on Max, the second heir of th
"For years, the Lake family has been said to be the most likely to replace the Hacks family—the lowest-ranked members of Janestown's top eight families. The prospect of being called one of Janestown's top eight families seems to have made the Lake family get ahead of themselves! Who gave them the nerve to go after the ashes of a deceased member of the Yorker family? They have a death wish!" Crystal said coldly with a lingering chill on her beautiful face.Sean smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's not easy to usurp Janestown's top eight families."Janestown's top eight families had existed for 100 years without breaking their heritage. Most things have changed over 100 years, but only Janestown's top eight families never changed. No matter how the world changes, Janestown's top eight families will always stand proudly at the peak of Janestown and Dragon Kingdom. In the past 100 years, many proud families thought they were qualified to challenge Janestown's top eight families, bu
"Then, Don followed me to meet Sean, who didn't know what he had done wrong. He even attacked Don!"Max's eyes were grim without even looking away from Kennedy."How long did it take Sean to kill Don?" Max asked solemnly.Kennedy raised his eyebrows and stammered, "O-One move...""What? How is that possible?" Max immediately roared with disbelief.Don was a Grandmaster from Sky Sect. With training from Sky Sect, ordinary Grandmasters were no match for Don. However, Sean killed the Grandmaster from Sky Sect with one move. There was no way Max would believe such an unbelievable remark."There's no way I'll lie to you, Mr. Max Lake. Sean grabbed Don's neck with one hand and broke it..." Kennedy said immediately, fearing that Max would not believe him.Max did not think much about it. He got up immediately, put on his clothes, and immediately said, "Show me!""Yes! Mr. Max Lake!" Kennedy immediately led the way.Although Max was shocked by Sean's ability to kill Don so instantly,
"Haha, even you're here. Why can't I be here?" Crystal asked with a sneer after glancing at Max.She did not mention Darkness's attack on her aunt's ashes, and there was no point in bringing it up with Max now. She would wait until she returned to Janestown to report to the Yorker family, and the Yorker family would discuss the matter with the Lake family in Janestown.Fabian's wife was the daughter of the previous patriarch of the Yorker family and the sister of the current patriarch. With such a status, the Lake family in Janestown could not afford to go after her even if she was dead.Since they had the nerve to go after her ashes, they would have to be prepared to bear the Yorker family's wrath."Yes, of course you can! The world is so big that you can go anywhere you want, Ms. Yorker!" Max said immediately as he dared not retort.Crystal snorted coldly and said nothing.Max was unsure about Sean's relationship with Crystal, so he was at a loss.After a moment of reflection,
"Do you still want to be involved in the affairs of the Lake family in Ocean City?" Sean looked at Max and asked with a smile.As soon as he spoke, Kennedy and Curtis tensed because Max's response next would determine their fate.Max glanced at Sean coldly and said solemnly, "Never mind. They offended you, so they will have to pay for it. I shall return to Janestown now that this is settled."With that said, Max walked out of Lake Residence. However, when he took one foot out of the door, he said, "Sean, Don's death won't end so easily. Even if the Lake family doesn't go after you, Sky Sect will."Sean smiled disdainfully and said coldly, "If Sky Sect wants, they can come to Ocean City for me. Or ask them to talk to me face to face when I go to Janestown someday!"Crystal wanted to speak, but Sean stopped her with a look."Alright, since you're that daring, I'll wait for you in Janestown! I hope you'll be as calm as you are today when you face Sky Sect!" Max said with a laugh. Th
"Settle them," Sean said quietly.Jadon and the rest immediately stepped forward, dragging Kennedy and Curtis outside Lake Residence."What are you doing? I'm the heir of the Lake family! You'll die for touching me!"Theodore grabbed Curtis by the collar as he struggled and screamed like he had lost his mind. He knew he probably would not live until the next day if they brought him away.Kennedy looked helpless as he had given up struggling. It seemed he had accepted his reality and stopped resisting. He knew Sean and the others would never spare him. Instead of humbly begging for mercy right before dying, he might as well be a little more dignified. They were going to die either way, so he might as well save some pride."Mr. Lennon, since you destroyed the Lake family's first branch, you're done with Ocean City, right?" Crystal asked as she looked at Sean.Sean nodded slightly, glancing at the members of the Lake family's first branch in the corner, who were observing him.The
Jadon and the rest fell silent. They knew Sean was leaving Ocean City."I wonder where you're going after leaving Ocean City?" Jadon asked.Sean answered with a smile, "I'll tell you about it later, but probably Janestown. People are waiting for me there."The crowd did not ask anything more.Then, Theodore said with a smile, "Now that Kennedy and Curtis and the Lake family's first branch ended up like this, we have no rivals in Ocean City. Mr. Lennon, you can rest assured that we'll take good care of your businesses in Ocean City."Sean did not have a lot of businesses in Ocean City, only Optimus Security Services, Optimus Clinic, and the newly founded Optimus Charity. Sean would only take Optimus Security Services with him when he left Ocean City.During their time at Ocean City, Optimus Security Services had considerably improved under Zander's training. Although incomparable to sects with long histories, members of Optimus Security Services were strong compared to the average
Sean then bid goodbye to Jadon and the rest and headed to Winters Residence with Crystal.Sean had not notified the Winters family of his coming, so no one went out to greet him and Crystal when they arrived at Winters Residence.When they got out of the car, Crystal said with a smile. "Mr. Lennon, I'll knock on the door!"Regardless of Sean's reaction, she walked toward Winters Residence. Only Sean could make the heiress of the Yorker family knock on a door for him.Bang! Bang! Bang!Winters Residence's door was knocked on, and a servant soon opened it.The servant looked at Crystal and asked, "Who are you?"Crystal glanced at him and said, "Tell Fabian it’s me.""How dare you? Do you know that the head of the house is the mayor of Ocean City? He's not someone you can call by his first name!"The servant's expression changed before adding, "Many dignitaries in Ocean City need to make an appointment in advance to see him. How dare you ask the head of the Winters family to see
