The Guardian's Sword

Hearing this, Sean's face darkened. Although they stopped Mary in time, it
seemed the female reporter named Mary caused him trouble after all.

"It's just a female reporter asking me for an interview, and I rejected her,” Sean
said flatly.

"I see. I thought... Sorry...." Shania began laughing in the middle of her sentence.
She thought that woman was a poor soul Sean had abandoned, so she was
begging him to see her again.

"Commander Lennon's a righteous man. How could he have behaved
shamelessly like a playboy?" Quentin said with a laugh as he touched his
daughter Shania's head.

"You're right.." Shania nodded heavily.

Sean's expression looked much better now that he had cleared the
misunderstanding.

The singing and dance performances also began, and Central Square started
becoming lively and joyful. Although the gala was prepared at short notice, the
singing and dance performances on stage were good. At least most of the people
were happy.

Feeling the harmonious and lively atmosphere, Sean nodded with satisfaction.
"Mayor Lewis, I didn't think you'd try to soothe the crowd with a gala. It's a good
idea."

Quentin instantly smiled when he heard Sean's compliment.

"Hahaha, it's actually my daughter's idea. She suggested that I hold a gala."

"I see..." Sean nodded and glanced approvingly at Shania.

Shania instantly felt embarrassed.

Though Uriah nearby did not do anything, one could tell he looked slightly
nervous. It seemed Uriah still had a crush on Shania and saw Sean as a love
rival.

However, Uriah also knew he was too far behind Sean in terms of strength and
status. If Sean was going to do something, there was no way he could stop him.
It was why he was restrained and not as aggressive with Sean and even drew his
sword as he did in front of the supermarket.

"How is Uriah's wound?" Sean asked.

"Commander Lennon, my injury is almost healed. I've almost recovered." Uriah
answered immediately.

"Oh, that's good." Sean nodded.

Uriah continued saying, "Commander Lennon, thank you for rescuing me.
Without you, I would have died on the operating table."

"It's nothing much." Sean waved his hand casually.

Uriah did not give a long thank you speech either. It was enough to express his
gratitude. Saying too much seemed empty. Besides, as Shania's bodyguard, he
could not repay anything to Sean, let alone make any promises, so she might as
well say nothing.

However, he asked, "Commander Lennon, I have a question for you."

"Go ahead..." Sean immediately nodded and agreed.

Uriah did not dilly-daily either.

He asked readily, "Commander Lennon, when I was fighting Killer X the other
day, I found her bumping into your hand... What happened?”

After kicking Uriah, Killer X ran toward Shania, who was behind Sean, to kill her
with a dagger. However, she bumped into Sean's outstretched right hand. Then,
Sean subdued and incapacitated her.

Uriah was shocked and wondered how the agile Killer X could make such a
stupid mistake. It was also what Shania wanted to know.

Therefore, now that Uriah had asked, Shania immediately looked up at Sean and
waited for his answer.

Sean smiled before replying casually, "It's simple. I predicted what she predicted I
would predict.”

"What?"
