The Guardian's Sword

Chapter 767

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. 2

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 he had allowed him 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, he would avoid him if he 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, he 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 he was hiding in River City, he would launch relentless assassination attacks upon him.

With Sean's current abilities, not only would he be in danger, but Willow’s family also would be caught in the crossfire as well.

So, he could not meet Jason unless he had to.

However, the old lady that Sean treated the other day was called Old Madam Yeast, and Sean had some speculations.

However, he could not be certain of what decisions Jason would make.

Thus, he 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.

Crack!

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 he 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 her twenties. Even though she was dressed plainly, her simple clothes did nothing to

detract from her ladylike elegance.

Her golden-brown curls fell around her face naturally, adding to her beauty.

Her red lips and white teeth made her look as if she had just walked out of a painting.

Sean sighed softly. It was Willow Quinn.

The thunder and lightning of a stormy night made him recall the destruction on the battlefield.

It also reminded him of Willow's meticulous care for him in the past two years.

He could barely remember anything from the past two years. Only when he tried his best to recall it, he

managed to recall some memories.

In his two years of confusion, he only had the IQ of an eight-year-old.

When there was thunder and lightning, he would naturally be afraid.

He remembered clearly that in the past two years, every time there was a storm, he 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 him extremely nostalgic.

He was even more aware that that embrace came from Willow because, in

that home, only Willow took care of him with so much dedication.

However, he knew that now he 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 her pajamas, hurried into the

room.

"Don't be afraid, Sean. I’m here."

Willow burrowed into his bed and wrapped her arms around him. Then, she patted him gently.

Sean was taken aback, but he said nothing. Instead, he just closed his eyes as if he was sound asleep.

Willow turned sideways and patted Sean gently as if she was comforting a child.

She was staying in the room next to Sean's. Her eyes shot open the moment she 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, she had gotten used to doing these things.

In the past, when there was a storm at night, she would come over and hug Sean who was trembling in bed to give him comfort and

protection. 2

Thus at that moment, it d id not occur to her that after Sean recovered, he would no longer be afraid of the sound of thunder, so she just

walked in without a second thought.

Sean sighed internally. As he felt Willow's soft embrace, his ice-cold heart

could not help melting.

Why did he want to risk exposing his identity to fight the Quinn family and the Zimmer family?

Why did he want to establish Reach For Will Group, just so he could leave a way out for Willow?

Perhaps this was the reason.

The meticulous care, commitment, and dedication that was given to him for the past two years.

Willow regarded him 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, she gradually let go of Sean as she got ready to leave.

However, the moment she turned away to sit up, a pair of arms wrapped around her and she 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 her heart pounded in her chest.
