The Guardian's Sword

Lillian blushed slightly once she finished speaking.

She wanted to help Sean, and she finally found out something he was interested
in. She wanted to help him find it to gain his favor.

However, her offer to help was somewhat inappropriate for a girl. Because it
would easily make people think she pursued Sean first.

The average man would have been delighted. However, Lillian knew that Sean
was not a man like that. If he were such a man, he would not have been so angry
with her when she climbed into his bed that night.

In case Sean got the wrong idea, Lillian quickly explained.

"Well... Don't take this the wrong way, but I only wanted to help you because my
father works with Dorodo's city defense army. I have no other agenda and ulterior
motives..."

Lillian's slightly hurried words gave the impression that she was trying to hide
something.

It was a good thing Gregory and Anthony were not here, or Sean would have
been embarrassed in front of

them.

"No need to explain. Where's the second ancient bronze sword fragment?" Sean
asked straight to the point.

He did not want Lillian to keep explaining because the more she explained, the
more confused he was.

Lillian gradually calmed down when Sean got down to business.

"My father gave the second fragment to an antique lover friend. I call him Uncle
Frederic."

"Just the average antique lover?" Sean asked again.

"No, he's an antique collector who runs an antique shop in Dorodo's antiques
market."

Sean nodded slightly at Lillian’s words.

If he was the average antique lover, he planned to pay for the ancient bronze
sword fragment as he did yesterday at the Townsend family house. However, it
would be tricky if he was dealing with an antique collector.

Such a man was either wealthy or aristocratic. He had no lack of money. It might
be difficult to get the ancient bronze sword fragment from them. Even so, he had
to try. After all, he might get the ancient bronze sword fragment if he went. If not,
there was no hope at all.

Therefore, Sean stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go to the antiques market with you
to meet Uncle Frederic."

Dorodo had a huge antiques market.

It was now evening, but the antiques market was bustling. Particularly, some
stalls selling antiques were crowded.

Most items at antique stalls like these were fakes, but occasionally you would
come across something genuine.

A genuine item was often mixed in with hundreds or even more fakes, and the
people around these stalls were here to try their luck.

It would take a lot of luck and a great eye to find something genuine among so
many fakes.

Lillian could not stop looking around after entering the antiques market.

Sean looked around as he walked.

He was uninterested in antiques, but it was his first visit to Dorodo's antiques
market. He was somewhat curious about the place.

"Are most of the antiques here fake?" Sean asked casually.
