The Guardian's Sword

Claremento's outburst brought Rapido to his senses.

"Get the f*ck out of here! I don't want to see you. Go home and tell your family. If
the Kaygene family ever gets involved in my family affairs again, you will no
longer exist in Crosac!" Claremento bellowed.

Rapido turned pale and scrambled out of the mayor's residence.

Sean was now back in his room. Shania and Uriah also came over. Zander was
here, of course.

Upon entering the room, Shania and Uriah came up to Sean together while
Zander was calm and did not ask questions right away.

Looking at the confusion on Shania and Uriah's faces, Sean said, "Ms. Lisha and
I were attacked by Aria and her bodyguard Lowich last night. I protected Ms.
Lisha and injured Lowich. Unexpectedly, Aria bit us back in front of Mayor
Claremento, saying Ms. Lisha ordered me to assassinate her and Lowich. That's
how things got to this point.”

Shania and Uriah immediately understood what was going on when hearing what
Sean had said.

The question was who Mayor Claremento chose to believe.

"Can't you prove your innocence?" Shania asked in resignation.

She had packed up her things but was told she could not leave the mayor's
residence, and that could not help making her feel disappointed.

Sean shook his head slightly and said, "There's more than a simple
assassination. It includes Lisha and Aria’s fight over the succession of the mayor
of Crosac, so it's complicated. It's not about who's innocent at the end ofthe day;
It's about who among Lisha and Aria that Mayor Claremento is willing to believe
and appoint as his

successor.”

"So if Claremento is more biased toward Aria, we'll be in trouble?" Even more
worried, Shania frowned.

Sean looked from Shania to Uriah with a smile and said, "Don't worry. If
Claremento chooses to trust Aria and make her his successor, we'll be fine."
"He'll let us go?" Shania immediately asked.

"No, he would never let us go if he did choose Aria," Sean shook his head.

"Why are you so confident then? It's over. It's over. We're dead meat this time!"
Shania was on the verge of tears.

Sean continued saying, "But I'll protect you. Believe me. Crosac is only a city in
the City-State Union, not a country. If it's a big country, I wouldn't resist. But we're
facing Crosac. Haha, it's a different story then."

As Sean spoke, intense confidence rose from his body.

Influenced by Sean, Shania finally calmed down, and Uriah felt reassured. It was
also at this point that Uriah understood why Zander was willing to follow Sean.

It was lucky for a soldier to have such a powerful and clever Commander.
Shania returned to her room to rest, and Uriah followed her. He must protect
Shania.

Once Shania and Uriah left, Sean asked Zander to contact Dorodo.

If they were in ancient times, Sean and his gang would be stuck with no way to
contact their men.

However, with the convenience of communication tools such as satellite phones
in modern times, many things could be carried out smoothly, and many
arrangements could be prepared in advance as long as there was no
interference.
