The Guardian's Sword

Chapter 991

If they were not able to get their hands on a goddess like Willow, they did not want anyone else to have

her either!

However, Sean held Willow’s hand as they both slowly entered the gala venue.

Everyone was extremely jealous of Sean.

“Phew!”

A lot of people let out sighs of relief. They then averted their gazes forcefully.

They were all from the upper social circle. It would be inappropriate for them to keep staring at

someone else.

Although they wanted to stare at Sean and Willow, they had no choice but to resist the urge to do so.

However, a few other people continued staring at Willow.

After all, Willow’s beauty was lethal. It was a great enjoyment for them to be able to stare at her.

“Mr. Clarke? Mr. Larson, Mr. Summers, you’re all here! Come here and sit down!”

Everyone greeted Harry and the others when they arrived at the gala.

“It’s fine, we’ll just sit next to Mr. Lennon.”

Nevertheless, Harry waved his hand slightly and rejected everyone else’s offers.

They sat down next to Sean.

Odd expressions appeared on everyone’s faces after they noticed this scene.

Initially, they assumed that Harry and the others must have run into Sean by coincidence since they

arrived just after them.

However, they now realized that they had come to the gala together!

Meanwhile, Harry and the others were showing off their stance to everyone by doing so.

They were on Sean’s side.

Given the situation that River City was currently in, everything was extremely clear.

Jen-Bond Holdings was doing extremely well. The Zimmer family’s social standing in River City rose

greatly as well.

A lot of people chose to take Jen-Bond Holdings’ side.

After all, would it not be better to take the side of the strong player in the industry?

However, Reach For Will Group and Sean would not budge. They would not concede to Jen- Bond

Holdings.

Therefore, River City was currently being contested by two different parties.

One could either take Jen-Bond Holding’s side or Sean Lennon’s side. However, supporting Sean

might not lead to great outcomes.

“Is Mr. Clarke from Reach For Will Group taking Sean Lennon’s side?”

“This town isn’t big enough for two parties. If Jen-Bond Holdings intend to take over the whole of River

City, they must get rid of Reach For Will Group. They have no other choice.”

“You’re right. However, Reach For Will Group has no other choice as well. However, Mr. Larson and Mr.

Summers have other choices! They aren’t fools!”

“If they aren’t fools, why would they make such a decision?”

The more everyone pondered upon this, the more confused they felt.

They know that one would definitely be at risk of getting overthrown if they took Sean’s side.

However, Harry and Chadwick still took Sean’s side without hesitation.

Were they fools or madmen?

Nobody could explain things to them right now.

Everything could only be set in stone after the host appeared.

Meanwhile, the host of the gala was naturally the person in charge of Jen-Bond Holdings in River City,

James Thomson.

The atmosphere of the gala became rather awkward after Sean and the others arrived.

Everyone gathered together in a large group.

Meanwhile, Sean and his supporters stood apart from them. They sat down in one of the corners of the

gala venue.

Although there was quite a distance between both parties,.those people did not dare to gossip about

Sean.

It was not because they were afraid of Sean, but they did not want to cause unwanted trouble.

Plenty of them knew that today would be the day Sean lost his status and reputation.

Therefore, they were not afraid of anything!

“Sean, they seem to be staring weirdly at us.”

Willow tugged at Sean’s shirt as she said softly.

“Of course, these people are all here to make a fool out of us.”

Sean reached out to take a plate of dessert. He then placed it in front of Willow.

Willow paused momentarily. She then asked him with a frown on her face.

“Are they all here to go against us?”

“Yes. However, don’t worry.”

“I have made arrangements.”

Sean raised his glass in the direction of Harry and the others. He then took a sip from his glass.

He was extremely nonchalant. He did not seem awkward at all.

Even if there was no one else supporting him and only Willow was left by his side, he would not feel

awkward at all.

He was once the nine-star commander when he served in the army.

One could be as strong as an entire troop. One could win against hundreds of thousands of hostile

opponents.

What did he have to fear?

Behind him, Zander, Harry, Homer, and the others, all heard what Sean said.

Before, they all felt extremely anxious and worried.

However, they felt much more at ease after hearing what Sean said.

It was hard to believe that Harry and Chadwick, who were both in their forties, trusted a young man in

his twenties so much.

However, they had to admit that Sean had a strong aura and convincing abilities.

The aura he possessed could not be feigned. He was born with it.

“Mr. Lennon, I’m betting the entire Summers household on this.”

Chadwick remained silent for a while. However, he could not resist speaking up.

“I know.”

Sean nodded lightly.
