The Guardian's Sword

Chapter 961

“No, I just came out for a glass of water.”

Willow curled her lips, unwilling to admit that she was waiting for Sean.

Sean smiled and said nothing more.

“Sean, how are things?”

Willow was silent for two seconds before asking.

“Fine. You have nothing to worry about.”

Sean sat on the couch, browsing through the TV channels.

James’s smiling face on the River City TV Channel made Sean frown.

Jen–Bond Holdings had been getting a lot of attention since it opened a branch in River City.

After all, any city where a giant company like Jen–Bond Holdings opened a branch brought many

benefits to that city.

James was willing to talk to interviewers from the TV station.

He was talking to the camera, boasting about their future direction.

Willow poured Sean a glass of water and followed Sean’s gaze to the TV.

“You don’t have to keep it from me. I know you’re in trouble.

“I… I can help you.”

Willow looked at Sean and felt heartbroken.

Sean had recovered and should return to where he belonged.

However, Willow knew that Sean was trying to repay Willow.

He wanted to repay Willow for taking care of him for two years.

Therefore, he stayed in River City to build Willow an empire.

“It’s really fine. These things will be settled in three days if nothing goes wrong.”

Sean waved his hand slightly, now having a lot of confidence.

Colton’s appearance surprised him and gave him confidence.

No matter why Souz River helped Sean, he considered it a good thing.

Sean speculated that the government official from Souz River gave away Sean’s identity when Sean

killed Felix.

}

Of course, it was only Sean’s speculation. He had no idea know what had happened.

Anyway, it was better to have help than to blow his cover right now.

However, Willow did not know that.

After Sean confronted Jen–Bond Holdings, Willow did not think Sean stood a chance to win.

It was because Jen–Bond Holdings was so powerful that it was impossible to defeat them.

Sean only relied on Reach For Will Group. Even if he was the man behind Reach For Will Group, he

might have problems beating it.

“Sean, why don’t you go back where you belong?”

Willow slowly sat next to Sean and spoke after a few seconds of silence.‘

“What?”

Sean looked at Willow with some confusion.

“You held an important position in the army. At least you can go back and get fair

treatment.

“There’s no need to waste time in River City for me.”

Willow lowered her head slightly and spoke her mind.

Sean stared at Willow for a long time before slowly coming to himself.

Then Sean shook his head slightly.

He was comforted yet deeply helpless.

He was relieved that Willow understood him and knew he was doing everything for her.

Unfortunately, Sean could not return to the Northwest Army just because he wanted to.

If it was so easy, he did not have to waste his time with Jen–Bond Holdings.

Once he was back on top, forget about Jen–Bond Holdings, even the head of Souz River had to be

respectful to Sean.

They did not even have the right to have an audience with Sean.

However, Blaze’s presence made it impossible for Sean to return to his rightful place.

Besides, the Northwest Army might not be what it used to be after two years.

Blaze would also have more complicated connections and many supporters.

Sean was not a god but a human being.

He had done great things for Dragon Kingdom.

However, with Blaze around, would Dragon Kingdom’s higher–ups welcome a man who had

been missing for two years?

What difference could he alone make?

Therefore, Sean could not return to his former position.

The first thing he needed to do now was gain some leverage and increase his influence.

Only then would he be qualified to fight Blaze.

Therefore, he alone was going to take over River City–a city with so much potential.

It was also because of Willow.

However, Sean was also preparing for his comeback.

“You don’t have to worry too much.

“Give me a few more days.”

Many ideas flashed across Sean’s mind, but he did not say much.

Sean had no idea why Colton would help him yet.

However, he figured that the matter would soon be settled.

The conflict between him and Jen–Bond Holdings would be decided in two days.

If he won, no one in River City would ever be able to compete with Sean.

Once Sean took over River City and had leverage, he could face his enemy Blaze.

“What… What if you fail?”

Willow bit her red lip, her eyes full of worry.

Quill had already said he would kill Sean if Sean and Willow did not separate.

Willow was worried about Sean’s safety.

“I won’t fail.“.

Sean slowly turned his head around, his eyes serious.

He would not fail no matter what, nor would he allow himself to fail.

“You…”

Willow looked at the confident Sean and was impressed.

“The brothers who died in vain won’t allow me to fail.

“I’m taking over River City.

“I shall slaughter Blaze too!”

Sean slowly got up and walked to his room.

Willow froze for a few seconds before following.

She had no idea where Sean got his confidence.

However, she loved Sean’s momentum.

“Aren’t you going to bed?”

Sean stopped and opened the room door. Walking with her head down, Willow bumped into Sean’s

back.

“I… I… I want to sleep here.”

Willow lowered her head and pointed to Sean’s room, blushing.
