The Guardian's Sword

At this moment, Shirley had already run up to Lisha and lifted the veil covering
her face.

Looking at the familiar face, Shirley said angrily and amusedly, "It's really you! I
just felt you were familiar... Lisha, why did you run out of the mayor's residence
so late at night? Don't you know it's dangerous outside?!"

"I just came to attend an auction with my friend. I didn't expect it to end so late,
and I was a little hungry, so I." Lisha explained with a bitter smile.

Shirley glanced at Sean, who was beside Lisha, and asked, "Is he your
boyfriend? What kind of taste do you have to choose such a man? You're Uncle
Claremento's daughter, maybe even the future mayoress. How can you be so
casual in choosing a partner?"

"You've misunderstood. He really is just my friend, not my boyfriend," Lisha said
helplessly.

As she spoke, Lisha looked worriedly at Sean, afraid that Shirley's words would
anger him.

Fortunately, Sean did not get angry. He was now focused on watching Timaeus
fighting with the hooligans.

After hearing Lisha's explanation, Shirley said, "I knew it. How could such a
coward who looks so ordinary and incapable of even protecting a woman be
qualified to be your boyfriend?"

"It's not like that, he..." Lisha was about to defend Sean, but at that moment,
Timaeus's voice came over.

"Shirley, take Lisha and the young man away from here quickly. I still can hold on
for a while longer!"

Shirley immediately agreed, "Understood, Grandpa! Hang in there, don't get
knocked down!"

Listening to Shirley's conversation with Timaeus, Lisha felt extremely strange.
Who talks to their grandfather like that?

However, Shirley did not care what Lisha thought.

She grabbed her hand and said, "Lisha, come with me. We can't stay here any
longer."

"Aren't you going to call your bodyguards?" Lisha asked.

Shirley immediately shook her head and said, "It's too late to call for bodyguards.
It'd take at least ten minutes for them to arrive from our residence. Let's go first!
My grandpa can run on his own. He's really capable. Those young guys can't
stop him."

Hearing Shirley's words, Lisha nodded in agreement.

Surprisingly, Sean shook his head.

"Why should we leave?" Sean said in a calm voice.

Upon hearing this, Shirley's face was full of anger.

"My grandpa is helping you guys. If you don't leave, my grandpa won't be able to
hold on for long. Aren't you afraid those hooligans will come after you?"

Sean shook his head again and said calmly, "I'm not afraid..."

"You shameless person! Since you're so capable, why didn't you do anything
earlier?" Shirley looked at Sean with anger and disdain.

Lisha quickly pulled Shirley and said, "Don't worry. He's very capable. Those
hooligans are no match for him."

"Him? I don't believe it!" Shirley shook her head disdainfully.

The yellow-haired leader became alert when he heard Timaeus tell Shirley to
take Lisha and Sean away from there. After all, their main targets were Sean and
Lisha, not Timaeus and Shirley.

So, the yellow-haired leader shouted, "John and Frank, go kill Sean and Lisha.
We'll handle this old man!"

"Alright!"

Two brawny men picked up steel pipes and left the fight then quickly ran towards
Lisha and Sean.

Seeing this scene, Shirley's expression suddenly became very scared. She did
not know Dragon Kingdom's martial arts like her grandfather!

"I told you guys to leave earlier, but you did n't. Now we're screwed!"
