The Guardian's Sword

However, Dorodo's city defense army's overall strength was quite different from
the past. Among other things, Dorodo's city defense army's battle of resistance
against Black Gold Flower Mercenary Regiment showed many things.
Throughout the City-State Union, Black Gold Flower Mercenary Regiment was
prominent and stronger than the city defense army of many cities.

However, Dorodo's city defense army had defeated Black Gold Flower
Mercenary Regiment with only half their military force. Most of Black Gold Flower
Mercenary Regiment’ s mercenaries were killed, and only a few escaped.
Dorodo's city defense army's losses were minimal.

The total number of wounded or dead soldiers did not even add up to a hundred.
It meant Dorodo's city defense army was no longer the same!

With control of such a united force, even Mayor Quentin would have to bow
before Sean!

Of course, Sean had not done anything to embarrass Quentin so far, and the two
had always had a good relationship.

Though Quentin was unhappy with issues about the slum, he had no choice but
to acquiesce.

"Alright. Since it's your decision, I'm sure you'll manage it well. Iwant Dorodo to
flourish and thrive. Commander Lennon, I don't think you would want to see an
economically recessed and impoverished Dorodo."

"Of course," Sean nodded.

After hanging up, Sean exhaled lightly.

"Quentin delegated all authority in dealing with the slum to me..."

Zander did not look surprised at Sean's words. It was because Sean had always
been that way since a long time ago.

If he entered a regiment, he would be its backbone. If he joined a force, he would
be its ruler. If he formed a consortium, he would be its head.

It had never changed since Zander worked for Sean.

Since Sean had intervened in the slum, he was the supreme commander in
handling the slum'’s issues. No one could steal power or his influence from him.
It was impossible, even if it was Quentin!

"What if the wealthy businessmen and influential families unite and work against
us?" Zander asked.

"There's got to be a way to break them up,” Sean said with a smile.

The next morning.

As Dorodo's morning papers went on sale today, everything that had happened
in the slum yesterday was revealed to everyone.

"Taquila-Sean" became a household name. Pretty much everyone in Dorodo
knew the title.

"Saint? Saint!" Ronald's daughter, Lillian, rushed excitedly into her father's study
with a newspaper.

"Dad, look at this newspaper. Look!" Lillian slapped the newspaper onto Ronald's
desk.

Ronald frowned at Lillian and said, "You're too old to be so reckless. No wonder
Commander Lennon doesn't like you."

Lillian pouted in displeasure at this.

Ronald picked up the newspaper. A startled look came over his face after taking
only one glance.

He quickly put on his glasses and carefully read the article that had taken up the
whole page of the newspaper.

"Commander Lennon has taken over the slum's governance? Is this a joke?"
Seeing her father's reaction, Lillian vaguely knew something was wrong.
