The Guardian's Sword

Chapter 54 In the two years of Sean Lennon being at the Quinns, there were
indeed a few of them who did not regard him with disdain. However, most of the
Quinn family thought that Sean was a loser. Initially, even Leah did not expect
Sean to be able to solve their problems for them. However, Sean's actions just
now dropped her jaw.

Even though it was a little violent...

“Sean, thank you..."

Leah cupped her hands together and spoke.

“No worries.

“Even if it wasn't for me, the Quinn family would be able to settle this as well.”
Sean's expressions were unchanging as he said faintly. “I don’t think so...

“My mother-in-law said that it's a common thing for children to squabble, so I
should not expect the Quinn family to stand up for me in every little thing
because it's shameful.”

Leah sighed softly as she lamented with Candy in her arms. As a daughter-in-law
of the Quinns, she was not in favor without her husband, and for having a
daughter that could not carry on their family name. Sean did not reply.

He was no saint either.

There were many people in the world that was suffering, and he had absolutely
no interest in getting himself involved. The sole reason he went to the
kindergarten today was for Candy. This was the girl that gave her the only two
Tootsie roll she had gotten from school, and it touched Sean's heart deeply.

“Uncle Sean, how I wish if you were my daddy.

“Then, no one would dare bully me anymore.”

Suddenly, Candy widened her doe-like eyes as she spoke solemnly. “Candy!
Don't talk nonsense.” Leah's face blushed red immediately as she looked
apologetically at Sean.

Technically speaking, Leah was Sean's cousin-in-law, and it was forbidden for
such conversation to take place. “It's fine, children are painfully honest.” Sean
waved his hands slightly. He was not offended. “Uncle Sean, can I tell my
classmates that you're my daddy?”

Candy, holding a piece of candy in her hands asked innocently. Sean did not
know whether to laugh or to cry, but he nodded anyway. “But... That's not right
too. The daddy and mommy of other kids sleep together, you know?”

Candy took a bite of her candy and murmured in a serious tone.

This time, it was Sean's turn to choke on his saliva. Leah quickly covered
Candy's mouth tightly, her face was flustered and scarlet red. “I'll send you guys
home. I'll have to pick Willow up from work in a bit.” Sean did not allow the
awkward atmosphere to continue festering, so he changed the topic.

“Okay, okay.”

Leah nodded hastily.

“If anyone bullies you again, you gotta tell Uncle Sean.”

Sean turned to Candy and told her smilingly. “Okay!” Candy was joyful as she
waved the candy in her hands around happily.

At night. Sean performed the special needle treatment on his legs again as
usual.

After the entire course, Sean breathed a long sigh. — It had been a few days
since he started the special needle treatment on his legs.

The change that came from it was obvious.

Initially, Sean's legs were hard and stiff from the time he spent in the wheelchair.
Even though Willow insisted on massaging Sean's legs every day, his unused
limbs still retrogressed.

Now, it was a lot better than before.

The twisted, clogged veins on his legs were slowly smoothening out.

However, Sean still could not feel much on his legs.

He frowned and his hands grasped firmly on the handles of his wheelchair as he
tried to hoist himself up onto his feet.

Willow Quinn once said that she did not need anything else. All she wanted was
Sean to stand tall firmly and proudly before her.

Willow's wish was his command and the goal of his hard work.

Sean's hands held tightly onto the handles of his wheelchair as he mustered up
all his strength. He wanted his legs to be able to support his body weight, but
they were flimsy and strengthless.

He had energy in his body, but it felt like he could not use them. He could not
seem to transfer any strength his body possessed into his legs. It certainly did
not feel like his legs at that moment. Sean tried several times more before he
gave up for the day. “Looks like it'll need a few more days.”

Sean murmured to himself as he turned his wheelchair around and wheeled
himself out the door.

It was a quiet and peaceful night. Sean sat by a lake near his house quietly by
himself.

At the same time.

In the arrival lounge of River City International Airport. Ten or more well-dressed,
potbellied men were seated as they waited. If others were to see these men, they
would be utterly astonished. These ten or more men were highly influential! If
they were not billionaires, they were famed aristocrats.

Each and every one of them was of great fame and influence, and they all
exuded a powerful aura.

Any one of them would cause the entire River City to shake with a stomp of their
feet. However, why were all these powerful people gathered in one place? Were
they here to welcome the arrival of someone else?

This was... an extremely mind-blowing thought!

“Are you guys here to... welcome him as well?” One of the middle-aged men
cleared his throat and asked. The others paused and then nodded silently. Since
the ice was already broken, there was no point in them trying to hide anything
anymore.

“The higher-ups ordered for us to come and welcome a certain someone, but we
have no idea who we were waiting for.” “I heard it's someone from the army, and
if 'm not mistaken, it's a Commander!” The moment another middle-aged man
finished speaking, everyone else felt like their hearts had stopped beating in their
chests.

A commander!

What's a commander you ask?

The highest position one could hold in the army!

That is indeed a true VIP!
