The Guardian's Sword

Chapter 1028

“I see.

“We'll be in touch later!”

James was silent for a few seconds before turning away with his men.

His only option now was to get out of River City unscathed.

The only way to get out of River City unscathed was to finish the last thing
arranged by Sean.

James had no choice now.

After James and the others had left, Zander reentered the office.

“Commander, are you letting him go?”

Zander asked, looking at Sean with some confusion.

“Yeah.”

Sean nodded gently.

He would not let the Zimmer family off the hook.

However, he had no choice but to let James go.

“James is with Jen—-Bond Holdings.

“It has been difficult for us to get to this point.

“To fight further would be against my original intention, and we will end up going
against. some of Janestown’s forces.

“If Blaze's faction gets involved, I'm afraid our efforts will be in vain.”

Zander knew what was going on after Sean spoke.

He was not going after James because he was with Janestown’s Jen—-Bond
Holdings.

Now that Jen-Bond Holdings was retreating, Sean would not pursue them
further.

His goal was River City, not Janestown.

Therefore, there was no need to go up against a corporation from Janestown.
Sean would be put into a passive situation if they confronted each other.
Therefore, Sean prepared to call it a day.

At the same time.

One of the more bustling areas in Janestown.

Jen-Bond Holdings’ headquarters was located in the area.

A middle-aged man slowly put down his phone in the headquarters office. His
eyes were sullen as he sat in silence.

He was Mr. Zook, who had just spoken to James.

He was responsible for Jen—-Bond Holdings* establishment in River City.

He thought he could settle it easily.

However, it was now all a mess.

He could already imagine how much he would be laughed at at tomorrow’s board
meeting.

“James is such a loser!

“He was so confident before leaving, guaranteeing us.

“He has now humiliated us all!”

The more Mr. Zook thought about it, the angrier he got. He slapped his desk so
hard it rattled.

“Mr. Zook, calm down.

“Are we giving up River City?

“After all, the city’s future development is important!”

The assistant nearby was somewhat cautious.

Jen-Bond Holdings had a complicated network.

Therefore, they had been told that River City would be a major development
area.

Once the development was completed, the city would become an economical
stronghold linking several super first-tier cities around it.

River City might not be a big deal, but it would soon be one. It was just a matter
of time.

If Jen—Bond Holdings could take over this city, their future development was also
inestimable.

However, Mr. Zook’s assistant was in disbelief that Mr. Zook wanted to give up.
“Do you think I want to give up?

“But can I not give up?

“Look at these files...”

Mr. Zook sighed and pointed to the files Sean had sent on his computer.

He would not have talked to Sean a first.

However, he had to take the initiative to negotiate with Sean after seeing these
videos.

“What are these?”

The assistant looked at the video, confused.

“The details of James’ bribes—-who he met and what he gave, were filmed.

“He got River City’s government officials to play along with him and fool us. This
proves how tough his background is.

“Tell me. How are we going to fight Sean?”

Mr. Zook shook his head, helpless.

When he saw these videos, he knew their only option was to evacuate River
City.

Otherwise, James getting caught was a small matter if it was exposed.

Even Jen-Bond Holdings® headquarters and their connections would be
affected.

It was a price they could not afford!

After all, the internet was now so developed that bad news traveled fast.

Once exposed, Jen-Bond Holdings would be ruined in an instant.

Therefore, they had to give up the profitable River City. They were making minor
sacrifices to safeguard major interests.

“I see, Mr. Zook.”

The assistant also nodded in resignation after thinking it through.

No matter how Sean managed to get his hands on these videos, he had proven
himself by making it this far.

“Who the hell is Sean?

“Why does he sound familiar to me?

“I seem to have heard that name somewhere...”

Mr. Zook rubbed his forehead, his eyes confused.
