The Guardian's Sword

Chapter 329 “Are you really... a billionaire?” Willow asked-she did not even have
the chance to register what he had said or be stunned.

Sean hesitated slightly. With a net worth of tens of billions, he would certainly be
considered a billionaire.

To add to that, he was not even sure how much money he had stored in his
supreme black card account.

“Look, you're bragging again.” Upon seeing Sean hesitate, Willow curled her lips
immediately.

It was not that she refused to believe him-it was just very difficult for her to see
Sean as a billionaire.

A disabled man who had been in a catatonic state and stuck in a wheelchair for
two years, unable to care for himself-even needing Willow to feed him for
sustenance.

Sean had been staying in the Quinn Residence for two years and had had no
visitors. Could someone like this possibly be a billionaire? More importantly,
Willow knew all of Sean’s belongings.

In the wooden box that Sean had brought back, there was only a box of silver
needles and some other bits and bobs.

The only thing that could hold money was that old ordinary bank card.

That card could only hold 100,000 worth of assets at most.

It was far from hundreds of millions.

“I thought you've seen the card before...” Sean said helplessly as he retrieved
his River City Bank diamond card.

Cards of this level were really not something anyone would casually just own.
Sean had originally thought that Willow would believe what he said without a
doubt upon seeing this kind of bank card.

Then again, he was not considering the impression his past had made.

Even if the rich were to wear a piece of cloth bought from the flea market, others
would believe that it was a high-end handmade customized accessory. However,
for the poor, even if they spent half their savings to purchase a luxury item,
others would still think it was a knockoff product.

Therefore, despite being faced with many new facts, no one would believe Sean
considering his past.

Willow would rather believe that Sean had borrowed this card from someone
else.

This was a perfect example of people's different identities affected how they were
perceived.

“Forget it, I won't ask anymore...” Willow hesitated for two seconds. She had still
not gotten to the bottom of where the money had come from.

However, if she continued, it would feel as though she was trying to pick apart
and deliberately expose Sean.

She did not want that.

“As long as your money didn’t come from a loan, it’s fine. “There are some things
we may really wish to have, but we must know our limits. “I hope that what we
have was obtained through our own efforts.

“Not... an overdraft from the future to be consumed now in advance. I don’t want
that,” Willow looked at Sean and exclaimed very seriously.

“Willow, please believe me. All this money belongs to me.

“Perhaps what I say now may seem weak and unconvincing. “Then don't talk
about it. I'll make sure you understand everything on the ninth.”

Sean slowly raised his head, his expression also extremely serious.

“Ninth? The ninth, what does that have to do with you...?” Willow was mildly
confused at first, then suddenly widened her eyes in realization. “Sean,

please don't do anything stupid!” she said. “On the ninth, I won't go to the
Riverleaf Lakeside Hotel. Please don’t go looking for Quill, you're no match for
him.

“With the power of the Zimmer family in River City, he could easily take you
down. Even if you know the city gangsters, it'd be useless!”

Willow looked at Sean nervously-she was really afraid that Sean would rush to
look for and pick a fight with Quill. If he did so, Quill could easily make Sean's life
miserable! “Himn? What can be do?”

Sean did not care when speaking of Quill. It didn’t matter who Quill was, or what
he had done before... He had already committed a heinous crime when he dared
to take the Nine-star Armor and the Nation Defending Sword as his own.

He had even dared to covet a woman of the nine-star commander, which was
something even more sinful.

Not only would he die, but the entire Zimmer family would be implicated due to
his actions.

It was just a matter of time.

“What are you planning to do on the ninth?”

Willow still felt mildly worried.

Sean slowly raised his head and looked at Willow.

He had planned to surprise Willow on the ninth.

However, at this point, Sean felt that even if he gave Willow some information in
advance, it would be fine.

“I reserved the entire Riverleaf Lakeside Hotel for the ninth day of the month.
Wouldn't that be a nice way to confess my feelings for you?”

Sean spoke slowly. Although the corners of his mouth were smiling, his tone was
extremely serious.

Willow was very taken aback when she heard Sean’s words.

Although it was not the first time Sean had said this, this time seemed different.
In the past, Willow had pretended that Sean was just coaxing her. However, now
that she had seen Sean spending a large sum of money, even buying twin villas
for 30 million dollars that day... Willow could not help but feel that Sean might be
hiding a big secret about who he was.
