After pondering for some time, Sean said, "Let's go back first. We can do
anything we want if only the two of us are here. But we have Shania here. After
all, she's Quentin's daughter as well as the mayor's daughter. If Lisha contacts
me for help after we return, I can help her."
Since Sean had said so, Zander nodded in acknowledgment and started packing.
Just then, the personal guards of the mayor's residence surrounded the room
where Sean and Zander were with long spears and long swords.
Bang!
The door was kicked open, and a brawny man rushed in.
"Sean Lennon, the mayor invites you over to see him!" The brawny man ordered.
The brawny man was one of the many soldiers who had glared at Sean at the
mayor's residence gate. It seemed he was the captain of the mayor's personal
guards or something at the mayor's residence.
Zander immediately shielded Sean and snapped, "Invite? Is that how you invite
people?”
"Cut the crap and come with us! The mayor ordered Sean to head to his office
immediately. If he resists, we'll arrest him on the spot!"
The captain of the personal guards said unceremoniously while the other guards
who followed him inside drew their weapons without saying a word.
"You..." Zander reached for the saber around his waist without finishing his
sentence.
He wanted these guys to know the consequences of offending Dragon Kingdom's
nine-star commander!
However, Sean immediately stopped Zander, stepped forward, and said, "Okay,
I'll come with you."
"Disarm them!" The captain of the personal guards ordered again.
Without hesitation, Sean immediately removed the Guardian Sword from around
his waist and gave it to Zander.
Sean was then escorted by the personal guards to Mayor Claremento's office.
On the office floor lay a stretcher, and a man lay on it. It was none other than
Lowich!
Lowich had changed his clothes into a regular outfit, but his clothes had torn
open, revealing a wound underneath. Bright red blood stained his clothes and the
stretcher.
Aria was sitting beside it, crying.
Claremento stood furiously in front of his desk, glaring at Sean.
"Sean, look at Lowich. How do you explain this?!" Claremento yelled.
Sean was about to say something, but Aria immediately shouted, "Dad! Kill him!
He's the one who tried to kill me!
If Lowich hadn't done everything he could to protect me, I would have died at his
hands last night!"
Sean understood now.
So that's it...
Avia failed to get Lowich to assassinate him and Lisha, so she was playing the
victim in front of Mayor Claremento and countering by falsely accusing him of
wanting to kill her and severely injuring Lowich.
"Dad, I'm your daughter. I was nearly killed. Are you not going to avenge me? If
he walks out of here alive today, I'll kill myself in front of you!" Aria yelled in anger
and tears.
Lowich on the stretcher raised his hand with great difficulty and said, "Miss, I... I
seem to.... Seem to be dying..."
With tears streaming down her face, Aria tightly held Lowich's bloody hand and
said, "No! I don't want you to die! You saved me. You took a sword for me. How
could I watch you die?"
Sean only had one term in mind at this moment.
Drama queen!
