The Guardian's Sword

Chapter 1426

Initially, some people wanted to wait it out and see if Jimmy still had any means
of turning the tide.

However, Jimmy was still locked up and undergoing interrogation in the
government office one night later. Meanwhile, all the assets under Billion Trees
Real Estate had also been frozen.

“Billion Trees Real Estate is done for!”

“Lennon Real Estate will rise to the top!”

Alot of people came to such a realization.

They all knew extremely clearly that it was impossible for Billion Trees Real
Estate to turn the tide after last night.

Meanwhile, the downfall of Billion Trees Real Estate signified the rise of Lennon
Real Estate.

Therefore, the companies that had initially decided to keep a middle ground all
started being friendly toward Lennon Real Estate.

Sean let Jeffrey and the others handle these matters.

Meanwhile, he sat down in a cafe located in a secluded area with Zane.

“Your performance truly surprised me.”

Zane stared at Sean. He did not bother to conceal the tone of admiration in his
voice.

He still remembered the first time he saw Sean. It was the time Sean had called
out a bid worth 5 billion dollars at the auction.

Back then, Zane felt that Sean was young and reckless. He simply thought that
he was privileged since he came from a wealthy family.

After interacting with him over the few days after that, he realized that Sean was
much bolder and more far-sighted than many middle-aged men and women
despite his young age.

The way Sean treated others and handled matters made Zane admire him even
more.

Therefore, after interacting with Sean over a few days, Zane guessed that Jimmy
would not be able to win against Sean.

However, Zane would never have imagined that Sean was capable of taking
action so quickly.

It only took him two days from the start to the end.

Throughout this process, Jimmy did not even have the opportunity to launch a
counterattack.

“If I failed, how would I be able to make you fulfill your promise, Mr. Curley?”
Sean smiled as he shook his head and reminded Zane.

After all, Zane had promised to grant him his wishes if he managed to bring
about Billion Trees Real Estate's downfall.

If Sean managed to do so, Zane would support Lennon Real Estate and help
them reach the peak of the business circle of Joules Town.

“Haha! Of course, I always keep my promises.”

Zane was stunned after hearing what he said. He then responded to him with a
chuckle.

“That's great.”

Sean nodded. He then picked up his cup and took a sip of tea.

“Actually, I've also been paying attention to this incident for the past couple of
days.

“I suspect that you've long planned to go against Billion Trees Real Estate,
right?”

Zane stopped smiling. He then looked at Sean and questioned him.

Sean's hands stopped moving for a moment as soon as he heard what he said.
He then continued pouring tea into his cup.

“You've planned this out a long time ago.

“Even if the promise between us didn’t exist, you'll still go against him, right?”
Zane fixed his gaze on Sean and asked him once again.

“Alright.”

Sean nodded lightly this time around.

“That means the promise between both of us wasn’t a coincidence. It has been
within your plans all along!

“You lured me out to meet with you using 5 billion dollars.

“Everything else followed after that...”

At this moment, Zane suddenly realized that he had fallen for Sean's scheme as
well!

It had been Sean's initial plan to crush Billion Trees Real Estate.

The promise that Zane suggested was simply an additional advantage for him.
This was a “two birds, one stone” situation. Sean had gained a lot without any
wasted movements!

Zane even suspected that this was not just a win-win situation for both of them.
Sean might have gained more from this situation, and he might not know
anything about it.

“This isn't a scheme.

“We joined hands to get rid of Jimmy Lidell.”

Sean chuckled while shaking his head. He then lightly placed a cup of tea in front
of Zane.

Zane remained silent for a few seconds after seeing the smile on Sean’s face. He
then scratched his head.
