The Guardian's Sword

It was because you could tell how classy it was by looking at the guests attending
the gala.

Standing at the gala venue were all Dorodo's bigwigs, either famous
businessmen or heads of prominent families. The one with the highest status
was Mayor Quentin and his daughter, Shania.

With these two and so many rich and famous people in attendance, how could
the gala not be classy?

The classiness of a gala was never measured by the quality of the food or wine
but by the identity of the gala's guests!

Was there any banquet or ball in Dorodo that was classier than the gala tonight,
which was attended by all members of Dorodo's high society?

One could say that everyone famous in Dorodo was here.

The big shots from the Wosh family and the Montana family were here too. The
head of the Wosh family, Benedict, and his daughter Miriam attended.

There was only one person from the Montana family, and it was Monica herself,
who was invited.

Benedict and his daughter Miriam went up to Sean with Monica and greeted
Sean with a slightly excited expression.

"Hello, Commander Lennon. We met again... I didn't expect you to intervene in
the slum's governance and even raise money for the poor. I'm impressed!"
Benedict was not trying to suck up but sincerely thought so.

Benedict was also a member of a wealthy family, but he was also the director of
Dorodo's First People's Hospital, so he was highly sympathetic to the poor
people in the slum.

Monica also said, "Commander Lennon, the poor are calling you Taquila, a saint.
lenvy you..."

Sean smiled faintly as he heard Benedict and Monica's remarks.

Then he said, "Dorodo isn't just made up of us in the upper class. Ordinary
people and the poor are also a part of Dorodo, and they are the foundation of
Dorodo. If the civilian's problem isn't handled properly, it will lead to bigger
problems."

"You're right. I think so too," Benedict nodded.

Benedict and Monica were soon in their seats when it was almost time to start.
Quentin and his daughter, Shania, were already in their seats, waiting with the
gala guests for the fundraiser to begin.

Sean glanced around the room and saw that all the guests had sat down, but
there were still some empty chairs, so he asked the city defense soldiers to take
all the empty chairs away.

Taking a glass of wine, Sean tapped the glass with a spoon, and it instantly made
a ringing sound. Therefore, everyone's attention was drawn to Sean.

"I'm Sean Lennon, the commander-in-chief of Dorodo's city defense army. I'd like
to thank everyone who's here for the fundraising gala. Thank you for taking time
out of your busy schedule to be here... I'm sure you know that today's fundraiser
is dedicated to fighting poverty. I hope all of you here will contribute to helping
Dorodo's poor live a better life, which will also accelerate Dorodo's development
and make Dorodo more prosperous.”
