The Guardian's Sword

Chapter 767

Besides, it would be far more deserving to gradually destroy everything the Zimmer family has than to kil them
off.

A quick death would be showing them mercy. 2

Sean was not afraid of the Zimmer family at all

The only thing that Sean was focused on was the man that supported the Zimmer family from behind the
scenes, Jason Yeast

Sean, who had spent many years in the military, knew better than the Zimmer family just how powerful Jason
was,

The power he had allowed him to do all sorts of unthinkable things.

Therefore, in the battle with the Zimmer family, the only one that mattered to Sean was Jason.

However, Sean was not ready to face Jason directly

Instead, he would avoid him if he could.

According to the information gathered by Zander's investigation, the army leader that supported Jason was
from Blaze Lake's faction.

Once Sean revealed himseff, he would be exposed to Jason.

Then, it would not be long before Blaze hears about him

Sean could foresee that once Blaze found out that he was hiding in River City, he would launch relentless
assassination attacks upon him

With Sean's current abilities, not only would he be in danger, but Willow's family also would be caught in the
crossfire as well

So, he could not meet Jason unless he had to.

However, the old lady that Sean treated the other day was called Old Madam Yeast, and Sean had some
speculations.

However, he could not be certain of what decisions Jason would make.

Thus, he could only put Jason's affairs aside for the time being.

Pitter, patter!

The sound of rainfall came from outside.

Sean lay on the bed and enjoyed the sounds of the rain.

His thoughts gradually became quiet.

Shht

Just then, a blinding bolt of lightning flashed outside the window.

Sean knew that thunder would come after the lightning.

The so-called lightning and thunder were a phenomenon that occurred at the
same time.

However, light traveled much faster than sound, so people would see lightning
first.

Sure enough, three seconds later, a blast of thunder sounded in the sky.

Crack!

Thunder rumbled through the sky. It was deafening.

Amidst the thunder, the rain fell, and it became a torrential downpour in an
instant.

Sean narrowed his eyes. It was as if he had returned to that Northwest
battlefield. An image flashed across his mind.

The sounds of swords clashing, thunder, wind and sand, and weeping...

The sounds brought out a sense of nostalgia within him.

Suddenly, the sounds and the images disappeared as quickly as they came.
Instead, they were replaced by a beautiful woman with a graceful figure and an
alluring face.

That girl was in her twenties. Even though she was dressed plainly, her simple
clothes did nothing to detract from her ladylike elegance.

Her golden-brown curls fell around her face naturally, adding to her beauty.

Her red lips and white teeth made her look as if she had just walked out of a
painting.

Sean sighed softly. It was Willow Quinn.

The thunder and lightning of a stormy night made him recall the destruction on
the battlefield.

It also reminded him of Willow's meticulous care for him in the past two years.

He could barely remember anything from the past two years. Only when he tried
his best to recall it, he managed to recall some memories.

In his two years of confusion, he only had the IQ of an eight-year-old.

When there was thunder and lightning, he would naturally be afraid.

He remembered clearly that in the past two years, every time there was a storm,
he would be pulled into a warm embrace.

He had only ever felt that kind of warm embrace from the orphanage’s principal
as a child.

Therefore, it made him extremely nostalgic.

He was even more aware that that embrace came from Willow because, in

that home, only Willow took care of him with so much dedication.

However, he knew that now he had recovered, Willow would never do something
like that again.

Bang!

Just then, someone shoved Sean's door open.

Before Sean could turn to see who it was, Willow, who was dressed in her
pajamas, hurried into the room.

"Don't be afraid, Sean. I'm here."

Willow burrowed into his bed and wrapped her arms around him. Then, she patted him gently

Sean was taken aback, but he said nothing. Instead, he just closed his eyes as if he was sound asleep.

Willow tuned sideways and patted Sean gently as if she was comforting a child.

She was staying in the room next to Sean's. Her eyes shot open the moment she heard the thunder.

She then got out of bed without a second thought and rushed over to Sean's room.

In the past two years, she had gotten used to doing these things.

In the past, when there was a storm at night, she would come over and hug Sean who was trembling in bed to
give him comfort and protection. 2

Thus at that moment, it d id not occur to her that after Sean recovered, he would no longer be afraid of the
sound of thunder, so she just walked in without a second thought.

Sean sighed intemally. As he felt Willow's soft embrace, his ice-cold heart

could not help melting

Why did he want to risk exposing his identity to fight the Quinn family and the Zimmer family?

Why did he want to establish Reach For Will Group, just so he could leave a way out for Willow?

Perhaps this was the reason

The meticulous care, commitment, and dedication that was given to him for the past two years.

Willow regarded him as more important than herseif

It was no exaggeration to say that in the past two years, Willow had completely neglected herself. She was
only living for Sean.

How could Sean ever make it up to her?

He did not know when the rain outside the window had gradually tumed into a drizzle. There were no longer
sounds of thunder.

Sight

Willow let out a sigh. Then, she gradually let go of Sean as she got ready to leave.

However, the moment she tumed away to sit up, a pair of arms wrapped around her and she was pulled back
onto the bed.

"You want to leave after you're done hugging me? Shouldn't you take some responsibility?"

The words that came after made Willow tense up as her heart pounded in her chest
