The Guardian's Sword

The huge auction hall instantly fell silent at that. All the guests turned their heads
to look toward the voice.

The speaker was the young man sitting next to Chief Police Wholeton, Sean
Lennon!

Sean raised the auction paddle with his right hand.

Unbothered with the gazes of so many people, he looked indifferently at Keith on
stage and said, "I bid three million dollars for these medical books."

After a while, Keith on stage finally reacted and nodded with a smile. "Number 71
offered three million dollars. Is there anyone bidding higher than him? Is there
anyone else..."

Before Keith could finish speaking, the head of the Yale family, Sherleen, rose
slowly.

She turned to look at Chief Police Wholeton sitting beside Sean and asked with a
fake smile, "Chief Police Wholeton, I didn't expect you to intervene and compete
with me. Do you want to make an enemy of the Yale family?"

Hearing Sherleen’s words, all the guests present gasped.

Sherleen was furious!

The head of the Yale family, Sherleen, was someone who would not take no for
an answer. Although she was proud, she rarely spoke aggressively. However,
Sherleen yelled at Chief Police Wholeton in front of all these people, which
meant she was furious!

It was a big deal!

Gabe was Midwich's chief police, while Sherleen was the head of the Yale family,
one of Midwich's top four families. It would be chaotic if these two got into a
conflict!

Therefore, the people present hastened to persuade them to calm down the
impending war.

"Mrs. Yale, perhaps Chief Police Wholeton has no intention of going against you.
Calm down first."

"Yeah, Mrs. Yale. Maybe Chief Police Wholeton was impulsive..."

"Chief Police Wholeton, say something. Is it worth making an enemy of the Yale
family for these 30 books?"

Sherleen's expression looked slightly better as she heard the crowd's remarks.
However, Gabe could not be any more upset. It was because he did not even
want to fight Sherleen, and Sean did not even talk to him before raising his
paddle to bid.

Everyone present, including the head of the Yale family, Sherleen, thought Sean
was Gabe's subordinate. Although Sean raised the paddle, they thought Gabe
was the real bidder, which led to this misunderstanding.

It was difficult to explain.

Gabe was so helpless that he did not know what to do or what to say to ease the
situation. However, Sean slowly stood up, calmly looked at Sherleen in the first
row, and confronted her without backing down.

"Well, lady... I'm the one bidding, not Chief Police Wholeton..." Sean said calmly.
Everyone present was instantly shocked to hear Sean. They thought Sean was
Gabe's subordinate, but the situation was quite different from what they had
imagined!

Sherleen looked at Gabe with a bitter smile and then at Sean, who was standing
next to Gabe, and a look of realization appeared on his face.

Then she looked at Sean and asked, "What is your name?"

"My name is Sean Lennon," Sean replied indifferently.

Sherleen nodded slightly and continued, "Mr. Lennon, are you sure you want to
compete with the Yale family for these 30 medical books? Do you have any idea
what this means? The Yale family can't rule Midwich, but we have no problem
dealing with one or two nobodies."

"So what?" Sean said calmly.
