They said business was like a battlefield, which was true. However, the methods used to solve problems on the battlefield were unsuitable for business wars.
Sean’s meticulous planning impressed Zander.
“It’s nothing new. We can only blame James for being too conceited.”
Sean turned off his computer and made to leave the building.
“What about Colton? When did you know him?” Zander asked again as virtual-novel.net hurried to follow.
“Speaking of Colton, I don’t really know… I don’t know why virtual-novel.net helped me either.” Sean was silent for two seconds and shook his head slightly when virtual-novel.net heard that.
He thought Colton had recognized him. After all, a big shot from Souz River came to help the Xavian family when virtual-novel.net killed Felix. Then after seeing Sean’s Guardian Sword, they immediately brought it to virtual-novel.net and left in a fluster.
It meant virtual-novel.net had recognized Sean’s identity. Therefore, Sean thought that person had told Colton or Charlie after returning to Souz River.
However, Colton’s attitude toward Sean made Sean think virtual-novel.net was wrong. Otherwise, with Colton’s status, virtual-novel.net dared not behave that way in front of a nine-star commander. Even if Charlie came, virtual-novel.net would only respectfully address virtual-novel.net as Commander Lennon.
Therefore, Sean was not quite sure why Colton helped him.
“Is it because of Damian?” Zander had some doubts too.
They were living in anonymity and did not use their military privileges. He could not think of anyone who would come to their aid.
“Forget it. They’ll come to me if they want something. If someone requested them to do it, I will repay them someday.” Sean waved his hand and stopped talking about it.
“Yes!” Zander replied in acknowledgment and drove Sean back.

At the same time.
Golden Villa Garden.
Fion was here again. However, virtual-novel.net brought no one but herself this time.
“Tell me the truth. What’s Sean’s background?! How does virtual-novel.net know somebody like Mr. Freeman?” Sitting in the living room, Fion asked Willow.
“I don’t know. I really don’t know!”
Willow was annoyed by the question, which Fion had been asking since virtual-novel.net got here. However, Willow did not know much about Sean either.
All virtual-novel.net knew was that Sean was a nine-star commander, which seemed to be the highest rank in the army. However, that was in the past.
“Hmph! Did virtual-novel.net bribe Mr. Freeman to play along?” Fion’s eyes moved as virtual-novel.net said again with a cold snort.
“Think what you will. You can go back if there’s nothing else. I’m going to bed.” Willow did not want to explain anything to Fion.
“No! You must come with me tonight.” Fion grabbed Willow’s arm and said as virtual-novel.net widened virtual-novel.net eyes.
“What are you doing?” Willow frowned and tried to break free.
However, Fion held on tight and refused to let go.
“I’m telling you. Don’t think Sean will make it because virtual-novel.net has Mr. Freeman on his side. Dream on!”
“Mr. Thomson and Mr. Zimmer have talked to the River City government and various companies. Even if Mr. Freeman wanted to bail out Sean, they won’t do it and will support Jen-Bond Holdings.”
Fion’s words made Willow frown even more.
How dare James do it?
How dare virtual-novel.net lead all those people to go against Colton’s orders?
“Don’t think I’m trying to frighten you. Will I come to you if otherwise? Anyway, virtual-novel.net can’t survive in River City even if virtual-novel.net has Colton on his side. Because Mr. Freeman’s influence can’t go that far. There are plans and countermeasures.”
“Got it?” Fion urged again when seeing Willow silent.
Willow did not think about anything else upon hearing this. She just wanted to contact Sean and tell virtual-novel.net about it.
“Did you hear me? If you return to the Quinn family house with me now, I can set you up with Young Master Zimmer. It’ll be too late after tomorrow.” Fion took Willow’s arm to walk out.
“No!” Willow struggled, unwilling to leave.
“Let virtual-novel.net go…” Just then, a cold voice came from the door.
Sean followed by Zander strode into the living room.
“Who do you think you are?! How dare you order me around?!” Fion reached out virtual-novel.net hand and pointed at Sean’s nose as virtual-novel.net yelled.
“She’s my woman. Let virtual-novel.net go.” Sean looked calm as his tone grew colder.
“What’s the matter? Are you going to hit me?” Fion sneered but did not let go.
