The Guardian's Sword

"My wife too. My wife is a worker in a textile factory. One of her fingers was
accidentally caught in the textile machine. She still can't move her finger!"

"My daughter too. When my daughter came home at night, some... Some
b*stard... She hasn't recovered yet..."

Many people knelt in front of Sean, crying. The scene was shocking.

Shania and Uriah stared at Sean in shock and disbelief. They could not believe
he could be held in such high esteem. After all, the previous commanders-in-
chief of the city defense army did not manage to do that!

Not even Mayor Quentin, who ran the city, could be given such high regard!
Zander was perplexed as he looked at Sean.

“Yvonne walked over, looked timidly at Sean, and said, "Commander Lennon,
what they said is true. Many people in the slum who are sick or injured can't
afford to go to the hospital for treatment, so we can only stay home. If they're
lucky, they'll get better after a while, but it'll worsen if they're unlucky..."
“Yvonne's voice trailed off as she reached the end of her speech.

Sean turned to look at the young man who was the first to get on his knees and
pour out his woes, and he said, "Where is your mother? Take me to her..."
"Yes, yes, yes. I'll show you the way!"

The young man was so excited that he quickly got up from the floor and showed
Sean the way while wiping his tears.

Zander kept up with Sean, carrying the medical kit. Shania and Uriah were also
at his side. Yvonne and her mother followed them.

Besides that, more poor people gathered around and followed behind Sean.
Hundreds of people had gathered over at some point!

“Yvonne's mother grabbed Yvonne's hand in the crowd and whispered, "Tell me
the truth. Did you and Commander Lennon... Did you provide him that service?"
"N-No, I didn't..." Yvonne's cheeks were as red as ripe apples, and she could
hardly lift her head from shame.

"I'd like to provide him service, but he refused. He'd rather give me money than
let me serve him. What can I do..." Yvonne said with resignation and pity.
Knowing that Sean was the commander-in-chief of the city defense army, Yvonne
wanted to sleep with him immediately and get attached to him. However, Sean
was immune to cajolery and coercion.

What could she do?

“Yvonne's mother said exasperatedly, "You're not ugly and had such a good
chance. Why didn't you grasp it? You make me so mad!"

Sean at the front had no idea what Yvonne and Yvonne's mother were talking
about. He had now followed the young man to the door to his house.

This house was worse than Yvonne's.

It seemed although Yvonne's family conditions were poor, they were not the
worst in the slum. However, Sean showed no signs of disgust and immediately
followed the young man into his house.

The poor people behind tried to follow, but Yvonne's mother stopped them.
"You're going to ruin the house with so many of you inside! Wait outside!"
“Yvonne's mother snapped with great authority.
