Chapter 92
Mr. Lowe had set everything in a few words.Jack nodded slightly and said, "That makes sense. Let's do it."Leah's face turned pale as she gritted her teeth and said, "I don’t have that kind of money."They were not favored by the Quinn family. It might also be a difficult task for Simon—the favorite member if he asked the Quinn family for two million dollars.Therefore, there was no way she was going to get the money."You can't afford it? How dare you behave so arrogantly if you can't afford it?"You even dared to casually beat people up. How pompous of you!"I'm telling you. There are people in River City you can't afford to cross."Mr. Lowe snorted coldly and said as he flicked his sleeve."I never care if I can afford to beat someone up."It depends on whether I want to beat them up."Once Mr. Lowe finished, there was suddenly a voice outside the door.Then the door opened, and Sean propelled his wheelchair into the room."Uncle..."Candy's face lit up as soon as she

Everyone in the room turned around when they heard the sound.Only Sean looked calm and did not bat an eye.Jack made a gesture to call someone but paused."Mr... Mr. Larson?"Mr. Larson, what are you..."Once Jack saw who the visitor was, he immediately came forward with a smile, but he had a confused look in his eyes.Behind him, Mr. Lowe's eyes widened slightly as he quickly smiled.However, he did not come forward to speak.With his position, he did not even deserve to talk to him.It was Homer Larson.With Larson Pharmaceuticals' reputation in River City, no one could approach them easily.Let alone Mr. Lowe."Mr. Tomme, I have a question."Do you have any other business than the one publicly known?"I just heard Mr. Tomme say..."Homer said indifferently with an unfriendly look on his face.The attitude confused Jack.'Something's wrong...'Homer and Jack were not strangers.They both led famous companies in River City, so they had met each other many times.T

Homer slowly turned his head and muttered to Sean.He was humble and sounded respectful.The room fell into a dead silence again.Homer wore an expensive suit costing no less than five figures.The custom-made Rolex Submariner watch on his wrist even cost more than six figures.He was accompanied by eight bodyguards in suits and ties, showing off his supremacy.However, the supreme and distinguished Homer was now being respectful to a cripple in a wheelchair!The... the sharp contrast made everyone's eyes widen."Hsss!"Leah could not resist reaching out her hand and covering her mouth.Candy's eyes moved around, thinking about something.Mr. Lowe and Jack's faces instantly turned ghastly pale.They had no idea that Mr. Lennon, who Homer spoke of, was the cripple in front of them!Jack thought Sean was just a nobody.Now it seemed that he was quite capable!"This... This..."Mr. Lowe turned white with fear.How did he know that Sean knew Homer?With Larson Pharmaceuti

'He's a cripple who is good at fighting at best...'Leah did not tell Sean about this meeting because she did not think force alone would work in this society.Being a nobody would get subdued easily.However, Sean showed his power.Mr. Larson of River City's Larson Pharmaceuticals was so respectful to him.It shocked Leah."Everything has a limit, Mr. Larson."I want you to think it over."Jack was silent for a few seconds. Then he slowly looked up at Homer.The Larson family of River City was not something to be looked down on.He, Jack Tomme, was not to be taken lightly.However, this did not mean that Jack would be afraid of the Larson family and give in to Homer.However, if Homer made Jack surrender with just a few words, Jack would be humiliated if word got out.Therefore, he would not give in to Homer easily."Oh? What do you mean, Mr. Tomme?"Homer turned around slowly, his voice calm."What I meant was that the Larson family is indeed powerful in River City.

Tomme Ltd. was involved in several areas of business that were mostly under the jurisdiction of Mr. Luke.It was not an exaggeration that if Hayden Luke wanted to make things difficult for them, it would be a piece of cake for him and an absolute catastrophe for them.To Jack Tomme, Hayden Luke was…Like their God!How could he not treat him with reverence?“Let me take a look.”Hayden Luke shook his hands a little as he said calmly when he walked into the office.“Err… This…“I didn’t know that you would come personally, sir, so I did not prepare anything…”Jack Tomme was flustered as he bowed slightly while he followed behind Hayden Luke.“You don’t have to prepare anything. I’m not here for work today.“My friend’s kid comes to school here too.“I heard that you’ve been taking quite good care of them usually, Mr. Tomme.“I’m just passing by here by chance today, so I’ve decided to turn in here and take a look.”After hearing what Hayden said, Jack was stunned, then he

Done for, he’s completely done for this time around!When Homer Larson showed up, Mr. Lowe thought that he was beaten in his own game.However, when Hayden Luke showed up personally just for Sean Lennon, it was only then he understood that this game that he was beaten at was a whole different ball game in itself.For Mr. Lowe to be brought and beaten in a totally different game, his loss was clearly a brutal scene.As for Jack Tomme, all the arrogance and so-called pride he had prior to this had completely disappeared.The only thing that was left in his heart, was overwhelming horror.“This, this…”Jack’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he tried to say something with nothing coming out.“Leah, what was it that they said they wanted?”Sean Lennon turned to Leah Light and asked faintly.“They wanted… Two million dollars of medical compensation fees, and for us to… Give them a public apology…”Leah bit her lip as she answered truthfully.“Mmm.”Sean nodded affirmatively. His hands cr

“Did you really think that anyone, no matter who it is is worthy of me taking their money?”When Sean Lennon said these words, it felt like lightning had struck Mr. Lowe.Jack Tomme, who was at the side felt a sense of superiority arose from the bottom of his heart.It was almost like he was extremely proud of the fact that Sean actually took his money.After Sean was done speaking, he turned his wheelchair slowly and was about to leave.“Mr. Lennon, you… Please forgive one another when you can…”Mr. Lowe’s face was ashen as he pled.When Sean heard what he had to say, a smile crept onto his face.Forgive each other while he could?That was for other people to do.As a former nine-star commander, Sean was already considered merciful if he would give someone a chance.He was the supreme one in the army, he bore nine stars on his shoulders.There was a saying that went, ‘a general’s reputation is built on thousands of corpses’. For him to stand at the peak of the top, no one

Homer had searched online extensively, but all he had learned was that the Lilac Heart Weed was an ornamental plant.It had no medicinal properties and was definitely not something Sean wanted.“This Lilac Heart Weed is a herb that’s exclusively found in the northwest.“It is indeed an uncommon sight in our region.”Sean frowned, his tone of voice slightly exasperated.It was most unfortunate that the Lilac Heart Weed was an irreplaceable component.If it was any other herb, Sean would be able to figure something out, probably by exchanging it with another herb with similar properties.However, since Lilac Heart Weeds were the main component of the entire medicinal course, how could it be easily swapped out?“Mr. Lennon, do you know what this herb looks like?”Homer Larson nodded as he asked for a specific description from Sean.“Mr. Lennon, I’ll take note of its appearance on my side as well and have some people look for it.”Hayden Luke heard them and volunteered to look f
