The Guardian's Sword

"My expectation isn't to have you die in battle. I'd rather you live well and have
your own life. You're doing good now, and I'm pleased. You have not failed me,"
Sean said truthfully.

Benji and Derrick could not stand it anymore. The two men cried their eyes out in
the private room.

The waiter who opened the door was so shocked that he closed the door and
left.

Sean, Zander, and Gabe made Derrick and Benji sit beside the dining table.
The two men cried while eating and drinking. They did not know whether it was
white wine or tears that they drank. Before they knew it, they were drunk.

Gabe also spoke emotionally as he recalled the days of fighting for their lives
with Sean, Zander, and the others on the battlefield.

"Wipe away your tears. You're men who have gone through fire and blood. Why
are you acting like women?" Sean said, handing over a napkin.

Derrick and Benji quickly wiped the tears from their faces, but their eyes soon
watered again.

Sean then changed the subject and said, "Gabe, Derrick, one of you is the chief
of police, and the other is the director of the prosecutors’ office. Both of you held
government posts. You're only protecting Dragon Kingdom differently. Benji, you
too. I heard you're now the chairman of Liamson Security Services. You're a
tycoon and entrepreneur. You're driving Dragon Kingdom's economy and also
contributing to Dragon Kingdom..."

"Commander Lennon, stop consoling us. We know what we're capable of," Gabe
said with a bitter smile.

Derrick also said, "Yeah, we live peaceful lives here. How can we compare to
you? Commander, you and Zander are on the front lines fighting against the
enemy and defending Dragon Kingdom's land. Compared to you and Zander,
we're too..."

Derrick wanted to say they were too shameful, but he could not say it out loud.
"It's no big deal. Take it easy..."

Sean took a sip of wine, put down his glass, looked at Benji, and asked, "Benji, I
heard from Gabe that your company is in trouble?"

"Gabe even told you that?"

Benji looked at Sean in disbelief and turned to look at Gabe.

"Gabe, how can you share everything? It's my own business. How could you
make Commander Lennon worry about me?" Gabe instantly turned away in
embarrassment, acting like he knew nothing.

Sean smiled and said to Benji, "Benji, just tell us if you're in trouble. We're old
comrades in arms. Is there anything you can't tell us?"

"No, Commander Lennon. I couldn't trouble you..." Benji was so nervous that he
was extremely respectful without realizing it.

Zander could not stand it anymore and snapped, "Just tell us when we ask you to
tell us. What's the matter? Do you want Commander to give you a direct order?"
However, Benji kept his mouth tight and said nothing.

Sean immediately turned serious, raised his voice, and said, "Benji Liamson!"
"Yes sir!" Benji replied as if out of reflex.

"Tell me what trouble your company is in!"

Benji finally replied, "Commander, my security company..."

Benji came to his senses in the middle of his speech. At that moment, he felt like
he was back in the army, being reviewed by Sean.
