The Guardian's Sword

Chapter 1121

“Willow, what do you think?”

Sean slowly turned his head and gave Willow a look.

Willow froze momentarily and was about to agree automatically.

After all, they were at an advantage by getting compensation ten times the worth!

However, seeing the look in Sean’s eyes, Willow thought he did not want her to say yes.

“Well…”

Willow pretended to hesitate for half a second.

“Is that all the store’s damage?”

Sean paused and hinted gently.

“There’s more than that.”

Willow instantly recomposed herself and shook her head.

“We only calculated the loss of the store furnishing and products.

“But we can’t ignore other losses.

“Let alone the customers Kyle had scared away today.

“Even the renovation period will affect our business. That’s a loss too.

“The number of products in our store are under strict quantity control with their respective brand,

making the loss more difficult to measure.”

Not an idiot, Willow immediately came to herself and explained logically.

Sean was calm but smug.

Willow knew what was on his mind without speaking it out loud.

Jenson’s expression changed, and his forehead sweated when he heard this.

He comprehended what Willow meant when she said the compensation was too little!

However, Jenson could not find any fault with it. He could only grit his teeth and keep silent.

“Why… why didn’t they say anything beforehand?”

Kyle was furious.

It seemed to him that Sean was seizing the opportunity to blackmail Star Group.

Five million dollars was more than enough to compensate for the store and sales losses.

However, was it not ablatant attempt to rip Jenson off by mentioning other losses after he had agreed

to pay five million dollars?

“Young Master Willer, you don’t know what Mr. Lennon is capable of…”

The other middle–aged men shook their heads and sighed.

They seemed to have foreseen Star Group’s doom.

Jenson had been trying to keep a backup plan in River City.

1/3

After all, they were a powerful local corporation. Coupled with some of their previous connections, there

was nothing wrong with self–defense.

At least they did not have to join Lennon Group and become a part of Lennon Group as other

companies had done.

However, Jenson could never have imagined the chance of survival that he had done everything he

could to give himself was crushed by his son.

Jenson could not even blame Sean.

He was avoiding Sean, and Sean had not even looked for him.

Now, they encountered each other. Jenson had to face Sean because Kyle made a mistake.

Therefore, he could only accept his downfall even if he knew Sean was extorting him.

“Mr. Lennon, I need to go back and have a meeting about this first.”

Jenson wiped his forehead and looked at Sean as he spoke with respect.

“Sure, I’m in no hurry.

“But the five million dollars…”

Sean nodded gently and said calmly.

“Yes! Ill get finance to wire the money to Lennon Group as soon as I get back.”

Jenson dared not say otherwise and nodded rapidly.

“Okay.”

Sean nodded before turning around to head for the back.

How could Sean not know that Jenson was avoiding him?

He tried to avoid Sean, but Sean did not even want to have any contact with him.

“Mr. Lennon, we’ll be going now.”

Jenson bid goodbye again and hurried off with Kyle.

The surrounding onlookers scattered.

Soon, only Sean and the other 30 young men were at the store.

Jojo standing nearby, looked this way with mixed feelings.

Willow saw Jojo but quickly withdrew her gaze.

Willow was no longer the naive and cowardly person that she once was.

She would eventually choose to forgive no matter how much people harmed her.

However, now influenced by Sean, she would never do anything stupid like that again.

Some people did not deserve forgiveness at all.

It was just like Jojo’s actions.

“Willow…”

Seeing Willow ignoring her, Jojo walked over to Willow and called out.

“You can go home first if there’s nothing else.

2/3

“I have to tidy up the shop.”

Willow only turned around without giving Jojo a chance to speak.

Jojo clenched her hand slightly, bit her lip, and could only turn away.

She knew she would never be able to bully Willow like she had done before.

Not only Willow had someone protecting her, but she was also protected by a big shot.

She was not someone Jojo could mess with!

She did not want to accept it, but she had no choice.

“Mr. Lennon, we… we had no idea it was your property…”

The leader of the group of young men was still frightened.

Sean had settled things with Kyle. Was it their turn next?

Sean was about to speak when his phone in his pocket rang suddenly.

He picked it up to see it was Flint calling.

“Mr. Lennon, I… I…”

He answered, and Flint’s voice spoke, but he could not utter a complete sentence.

His subordinates had offended Sean twice.

Sean had told him he would break his leg if it happened again.

He had just got word that some of his lackeys offended Sean again.

Flint thought the sky was falling!

He would like to say he had nothing to do with these people, but River City was not that big, and he

was the ruler of its underworld.

Anyone would find out he was involved by looking it up!

“It’s alright. They ended up helping me instead this time.”

Instead of losing his temper, Sean spoke calmly.
