Chapter 291

Willow seemed a little doubtful when she heard Sean admit it so readily.

She could not imagine how Sean did it.

He must have a terrifying background to be able to give the Bennett family so much trouble in such a short time.

Sean had been catatonic for two years. Where did he get such terrifying connections and background when he had only woken up recently?

“How… how did you do it?”

Willow pressed her lips together and asked again.

She did know that Sean seemed to be friends with Mr. Larson of Larson Pharmaceuticals.

However, even if they were friends, Larson Pharmaceuticals would not go out of their way to offend an established company in River City like the Bennett family for Sean, would they?

Even if Larson Pharmaceuticals was willing to do so, there was no way Larson Pharmaceuticals could subdue the Bennett family so easily and casually.

Therefore, Willow had no idea how to trust Sean.

“You don’t have to know how I did it.

“All you need to know is to keep those punks Herbert and Quill away from you.

“I can keep you safe. I alone can give you the security you need.”

Sean slowly raised his head and looked sternly at Willow.

What he said was domineering.

Willow could not help blushing.

“Let’s talk about the rest after you can get on your feet…”

Willow bowed her head in silence for a few seconds and said before fleeing from the room.

Sean watched Willow leave and nodded slightly.

“Yes, we can talk about the rest after I can get on my Sean flipped his wrist, and the box containing the pill appeared in his hand.

However, consider the human body’s resistance.

Sean eventually put it away.

There was only one chance.

He could not stake the rest of his life on this semi–finished pill unless he had no other choice.

—

The Bennett family’s villa.

It was already 9 pm.

feet…”

Shane and Jay were both sitting in the living room with cigarettes in their hands, frowning.

The ashtray in front of them was already full of cigarette butts.

“Dad, are you sure that crip… Sean did this to us?”

Jay rubbed his cheeks irritably and looked up at Shane.

Jay hesitated repeatedly before giving up his dignity and knelt to apologize to Sean to save the Bennett family.

If this still had not solved the Bennett family’s crisis, would he have knelt in vain?

“You’ve only offended Mr. Wallace and Sean. If Mr. Wallace didn’t do it, who else would have done it but Sean?”

Shane snorted coldly and said, “Besides, you saw how Mr. Wallace treated Sean. Do you think Mr.

Wallace would joke about something like that?”

Jay recalled how Bill treated Sean when Shane said that.

Jay had only called Sean a cripple, and Bill slammed the table and got up. He lost his temper on the spot.

That meant Bill was truly respectful of Sean!

Bill’s attitude also proved that Sean was indeed someone special.

“But… but I’ve apologized to him, and he said he would spare the Bennett family.

“Why is there no news from the company yet?”

Jay clenched his teeth slightly. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he might have knelt in vain.

Buzz buzz!

As soon as Jay finished speaking, Shane’s phone started buzzing on the desktop.

Swoosh!

Shane quickly picked up the phone and swiped it to answer it.

“Mr. Bennett, the ban on our branch has been lifted. The banners had been removed!”

Shane’s assistant over the phone sounded excited.

“Really?”

Shane jerked to his feet, also excited.

“Okay, okay, good.”

Shane put down his phone, and hope returned to his gloomy face.

Buzz buzz!

Then the phone rang again.

“Boss, the ban on our headquarters has been lifted!

“We can operate as usual tomorrow.”

Another phone call followed once it ended.

“Mr. Bennett, our clients said that they could give us some time to prepare the goods and would not pursue the breach of contract for the time being.”

“Boss, the suppliers also withdrew their requests. They said that we can pay them once our clients have made their payment!”

One good news after another reached Shane.

Shane was overwhelmed but excited.

In just a few minutes, the Bennett family hanging by a thread was instantly relieved of all their crises.

Besides that, it was as if their clients and suppliers had made a deal to remove the pressure they put on the Bennett family at the same time.

Shane did not believe that no one was behind this.

“We’re saved! The Bennett family is saved! We survived!”

Shane clenched his phone, sounding excited.

“We’re saved. We’re saved…”

Jay seemed dumbfounded as he muttered to himself.

Shane was not only excited but also deeply shocked.

He brought so much trouble to the Bennett family with one word.

He could also get them out of danger with another word.

How terrifying could he be!

“B*stard! I’m only telling you this today!

“I don’t care what your beef is with Mr. Lennon. From now on, you have to be respectful to him!

“It’s better if you can be friends with him! But the least you can do is never mess with him again!”

Shane said sternly. He was not joking at all.

“I’ve told you before. Making connections isn’t about how many people you know.

“It’s about the quality of the people you know!

“You know so many friends. Did they help?

“Mr. Lennon alone is worth countless people!”

Hearing what Shane said, Jay dared not argue and nodded his head repeatedly.

At the same time.

Zander’s villa.

“How is the Commander doing?”

Zander asked as he stood in front of the French window with his hands behind his back, looking at the distant night scene.

“Brother Zander, the Commander is in a bit of trouble.

“But I didn’t do anything directly as you had ordered.”

Harry stepped forward and reported to Zander.

“Of course, we don’t need you to do anything.

“The Commander is clever and powerful.

“It’s not his character to let this little River City distress him.

“So there’s no need for us to blow the Commander’s or our cover over such trifles.”

Zander shook his head slightly. He had absolute confidence in Sean.

“Speaking of which, a few days have passed since we used the River City’s CIA director, Brother Zander.

“No one has noticed this in the past few days, which means Blaze doesn’t have a spy in River City.

“Can we go all out and help the Commander now?”

Harry pondered for two seconds before looking up at Zander for advice.

Harry was expectant when he asked this.

He knew that if they went all out, no one in River City could stand against them.

That way, Sean would not have to go to so much trouble.

Harry knew those nobodies would not affect Sean much.

However, Harry found it depressing that Sean had to deal with these pests when he was ranked a nine–star commander.

“No, not yet.”

However, Zander shook his head.

“Why?”

Harry immediately frowned at this.

The last time they used Dino was not only to help Sean, but it was also a test.

They tested to see if anyone was paying attention to or looking into this incident.

However, it had been several days, and everything was calm. No one had even looked into the matter.

Harry felt a little relieved.

Zander stood in front of the French window with his hands behind his back and his body upright.

In the distance, the bustling night scene was dazzling with countless neon lights.

“Do you think I’m worried about River City’s millionaires?

“Whether it’s the Quinn family, the Zimmer family, or the Larson family, they’re nothing to the Commander even if they have tens of millions of dollars.

“You should know exactly what I’m worried about.”

Zander said meaningfully as he shook his head slightly.

Harry raised his eyebrows and fell into deep thought at that.

“Brother Zander, are you worried about the people in River City’s army?”

Harry finally got to the crux of the matter.

“That’s right.

“The person in charge of River City’s army is a guy named Jason Yeast.

“River City is far from the Northwest, so there shouldn’t be any contact.

“But I don’t know if the people behind Jason are connected to Blaze!”

Zander’s brow furrowed with concern as he said this.

Harry had fully understood.

In River City, it probably would not matter even if Sean did stir up trouble and change River City’s hierarchy.

It was because River City’s big shots had no access to big shots like Blaze.

Without access, they would not give away Sean’s whereabouts.

However, it was different in the army.

They belong to the same system, so there was no way to be sure that they never crossed paths.

If someone contacted Blaze and exposed Sean, Zander was sure that Blaze would secretly get rid of Sean within two days.

Two years ago, Blaze turned the facts upside down, drove Sean into a dead end, and took his place.

With his high–ranking position now, it was easy to get rid of a disabled man.

Therefore, Zander dared not do anything even if he wanted to.

“Brother Zander, I got it now.

“I will include Jason in my investigation later.”

Harry nodded and said no more.

“Okay.”

Zander nodded and said, “We’ll have to wait for the Commander to recover.

“We’ll pave the road as far as we can.

“When the Commander has fully recovered, he can make a comeback and kill the usurper!”

As soon as he finished, a chill flashed across Zander’s eyes, and his body exuded an overbearing aura.

“Commander, I got it.

“I have ordered a secret search for Lilac Heart Weed.

“But it’s all done in secret. I dared not ask people to find it on a large scale.”

Harry shook his head in resignation and reported again.

“You must find someone you trust with your life to do this.

“I told the Northwest I’m taking a sabbatical.

“So no one knows where we are.

“But if you were to secretly contact your men in the Northwest, Blaze would get suspicious.

“So whatever you do, you have to be very careful, even if it takes a little longer. You must make sure there are no mistakes.”

Zander knew Harry understood these.

However, he could not resist the urge to warn him.

“Brother Zander, I got it.”

Harry nodded, taking Zander’s words to heart.

The Quinn family’s ancestral residence.

It was not located in downtown River City but near the suburbs.

After all, the Quinn family’s ancestral residence spanned a large area. It would be inappropriate for it to be located in a downtown area.

The higher–ups would not allow it either.

A developer had once taken a fancy to the land and negotiated with the Quinn family many times. They were willing to pay a lot of money for it.

However, the Quinn family rejected them.

Besides, Old Master Levi Quinn was still alive at the time, so the Quinn family was quite thriving and prosperous.

They did not have to do anyone any favors.

Since they said they would not give the land away, there was nothing they could do even if the mayor of River City came.

Therefore, the Quinn family got to keep their ancestral land.
