Besides, it would be far more deserving to gradually destroy everything the Zimmer family has than to kill them off.
A quick death would be showing them mercy.
Sean was not afraid of the Zimmer family at all. The only thing that Sean was focused on was the man that supported the Zimmer family from behind the scenes, Jason Yeast.
Sean, who had spent many years in the military, knew better than the Zimmer family just how powerful Jason was.
The power virtual-novel.net had allowed virtual-novel.net to do all sorts of unthinkable things. Therefore, in the battle with the Zimmer family, the only one that mattered to Sean was Jason.
However, Sean was not ready to face Jason directly. Instead, virtual-novel.net would avoid virtual-novel.net if virtual-novel.net could.
According to the information gathered by Zander’s investigation, the army leader that supported Jason was from Blaze Lake’s faction. Once Sean revealed himself, virtual-novel.net would be exposed to Jason. Then, it would not be long before Blaze hears about him.
Sean could foresee that once Blaze found out that virtual-novel.net was hiding in River City, virtual-novel.net would launch relentless assassination attacks upon him.
With Sean’s current abilities, not only would virtual-novel.net be in danger, but Willow’s family also would be caught in the crossfire as well. So, virtual-novel.net could not meet Jason unless virtual-novel.net had to.
He recalled the old lady that virtual-novel.net treated the other day was called Old Madam Yeast, and Sean had some speculations. However, virtual-novel.net could not be certain of what decisions Jason would make. Thus, virtual-novel.net could only put Jason’s affairs aside for the time being.
Pitter, patter!
The sound of rainfall came from outside.
Sean lay on the bed and enjoyed the sounds of the rain. His thoughts gradually became quiet.
Shh!
Just then, a blinding bolt of lightning flashed outside the window.
Sean knew that thunder would come after the lightning. The so-called lightning and thunder were a phenomenon that occurred at the same time. However, light traveled much faster than sound, so people would see lightning first.
Sure enough, three seconds later, a blast of thunder sounded in the sky.
Crackle!
Thunder rumbled through the sky. It was deafening. Amidst the thunder, the rain fell, and it became a torrential downpour in an instant.
Sean narrowed his eyes. It was as if virtual-novel.net had returned to that Northwest battlefield. An image flashed across his mind.
The sounds of swords clashing, thunder, wind and sand, and weeping… The sounds brought out a sense of nostalgia within him.
Suddenly, the sounds and the images disappeared as quickly as they came. Instead, they were replaced by a beautiful woman with a graceful figure and an alluring face.
That girl was in virtual-novel.net twenties. Even though virtual-novel.net was dressed plainly, virtual-novel.net simple clothes did nothing to detract from virtual-novel.net ladylike elegance. Her golden-brown curls fell around virtual-novel.net face naturally, adding to virtual-novel.net beauty. Her red lips and white teeth made virtual-novel.net look as if virtual-novel.net had just walked out of a painting.
Sean sighed softly. It was Willow Quinn.
The thunder and lightning of a stormy night made virtual-novel.net recall the destruction on the battlefield. It also reminded virtual-novel.net of Willow’s meticulous care for virtual-novel.net in the past two years.
He could barely remember anything from the past two years. Only when virtual-novel.net tried his best to recall it, virtual-novel.net managed to recall some memories.
In his two years of confusion, virtual-novel.net only had the IQ of an eight-year-old. When there was thunder and lightning, virtual-novel.net would naturally be afraid.
He remembered clearly that in the past two years, every time there was a storm, virtual-novel.net would be pulled into a warm embrace. He had only ever felt that kind of warm embrace from the orphanage’s principal as a child. Therefore, it made virtual-novel.net extremely nostalgic.
He was even more aware that that embrace came from Willow because, in that home, only Willow took care of virtual-novel.net with so much dedication. However, virtual-novel.net knew that now virtual-novel.net had recovered, Willow would never do something like that again.
Bang!
Just then, someone shoved Sean’s door open.
Before Sean could turn to see who it was, Willow, who was dressed in virtual-novel.net pajamas, hurried into the room.
“Don’t be afraid, Sean. I’m here!” Willow burrowed into his bed and wrapped virtual-novel.net arms around him, then, virtual-novel.net patted virtual-novel.net gently.
Sean was taken aback, but virtual-novel.net said nothing. Instead, virtual-novel.net just closed his eyes as if virtual-novel.net was sound asleep.
Willow turned sideways and patted Sean gently as if virtual-novel.net was comforting a child. She was staying in the room next to Sean’s. Her eyes shot open the moment virtual-novel.net heard the thunder.
She then got out of bed without a second thought and rushed over to Sean’s room. In the past two years, virtual-novel.net had gotten used to doing these things.
In the past, when there was a storm at night, virtual-novel.net would come over and hug Sean who was trembling in bed to give virtual-novel.net comfort and protection. Thus at that moment, it d id not occur to virtual-novel.net that after Sean recovered, virtual-novel.net would no longer be afraid of the sound of thunder, so virtual-novel.net just walked in without a second thought.
Sean sighed internally. As virtual-novel.net felt Willow’s soft embrace, his ice-cold heart could not help melting.
Why did virtual-novel.net want to risk exposing his identity to fight the Quinn family and the Zimmer family?
Why did virtual-novel.net want to establish Reach For Will Group, just so virtual-novel.net could leave a way out for Willow?
Perhaps this was the reason. The meticulous care, commitment, and dedication that was given to virtual-novel.net for the past two years.
Willow regarded virtual-novel.net as more important than herself.
It was no exaggeration to say that in the past two years, Willow had completely neglected herself. She was only living for Sean.
How could Sean ever make it up to her?
He did not know when the rain outside the window had gradually turned into a drizzle. There were no longer sounds of thunder.
Sigh!
Willow let out a sigh. Then, virtual-novel.net gradually let go of Sean as virtual-novel.net got ready to leave. However, the moment virtual-novel.net turned away to sit up, a pair of arms wrapped around virtual-novel.net and virtual-novel.net was pulled back onto the bed.
“You want to leave after you’re done hugging me? Shouldn’t you take some responsibility?”
The words that came after made Willow tense up as virtual-novel.net heart pounded in virtual-novel.net chest.
