The Guardian's Sword

Chapter 248 The more she thought about it, the inore suspicious Willow Quinn
became,

To delete a photo would require at least two to three taps

No matter how careless Scan was, how could le tap twice or thrice accidentally?
This was why Willow Thought that Sean did it on purpose.

As for why he had the need to delete it, perhaps Sean was the only one who
would know.

“I don't.” Sean wiped his nose as he answered softly.

“You really don“t know who?”

Willow frowned slightly as she asked once more.

“I really don't.”

Sean looked at Willow calmly.

He really was not worried that Willow would recognize him.

The Sean in the photo was just a sideviewed and far away Sean, it was captured
from so far away it was almost unclear.

Also, the Sean at that time was one that frequented the battlefield with a tip-top
fit physique.

The Sean Lennon before Willow, even though he was disabled had grown slightly
plump from all the love and care that Willow had poured on him the past two
years.

The body shapes of these two Seans were so different Sean was not worried at
all that Willow would recognize him from the picture.

“Then tell me, what's with the armor and the sword?

“I remember pretty clearly that the two things Quill Zimmer took were exactly the
same as the one in the photo.”

Willow paused for a while before she asked Sean again while staring at him
intently.

“That... That's our uniform, it's standard, nothing too special about it.”

Sean lied after being quiet for a while.

Willow took what he said with a grain of sall.

“Okay, even if what you said was true,

“You said you didn“t know who that person was. This is something I don“t
believe.

“It was clear that you deleted that photo on purpose. How are you gonna explain
that?

“If you have nothing to do with the person in the picture, why would you hide
about all these?”

Willow was no fool as she addressed the elephant in the room.

This time, even if Sean wanted to hide, he could not find any suitable excuse to
do so.

For him to delete that picture... It indeed was an unexplainable act.

Willow was even sure of her hypothesis when she saw that Sean was quiet.
“Sean Lennon, you know I hate it when people lie to me.

“I hope you'd tell me the truth.

Willow straightened her body as she looked at Sean with utmost seriousness.
Sean lifted his head up slowly and met Willow's gaze.

After what seemed like minutes, Sean exhaled.

“You really wanna know?”

Immediately, Sean's gaze became extremely solein, almost like what he was
about to say carried extreme weight.

“Of course!”

Willow nodded, eagerness shone in her eyes.

“I... I can tell you.

“But you cannot tell anyone about this.

“Not even Aunt Fion and Uncle Kent.’

Alas, Sean did not want to lie to Willow.

“Okay, sure!”

Willow scooted forward.

Sean was in thought for a while before he spoke.

“That uniform is called a Nine—star Armor, only a Nine—star commander could
wear it, no one else.

“That sword is called a Nation Defending Sword, it signified royal authority given
to execute punishment before investigation.

“Only the highest-ranking commander could be qualified to have both the armor
and sword.

Se

“In the vastness of the military, amongst the millions of people, there was only
one nine—star armor and one nation defending sword, which was on the person
you saw in the photo.

“And... the person in that photo is...

“Me, Sean Lennon!”
