The Guardian's Sword

Chapter 813

Of course, Zimmer Corporation had little money left on its books.

However, Jon did not panic. He got the construction team to enter the site
immediately to do some preliminary planning.

Soon, that would be the time when they got their money back.

Jon decided to send a construction team over tomorrow to put on a show.

He knew a thing or two about gimmicks.

Of course, he had paid special attention to the land that Sean had won over the
last two days.

Sean had not done anything since a few days ago.

It made Jon feel smug.

Sean was no match for the Zimmer family after all!

After tonight, the Zimmer family would be on the rise in River City’s business
circle.

Jon rubbed his hands together with excitement at the thought of it.

However, he had no idea Sean was sitting behind his desk in the Reach For Will
Group building. He was holding the mouse as he clicked on his computer.

“The Zimmer family should be running out of money by now, right?”

After a long while, Sean withdrew his hand and asked Zander.

“He has gotten a loan from every bank he can get.

“And in the last two days, he has signed many compensation contracts and paid
the money.

“They now have less than thirty million dollars on their books.”

Zander nodded gently. This information was well under his control.

“It's finally time to end this.

“Let's give them a surprise first tomorrow.”

Sean slowly got up and went to the French window to look at the bustling night
scene outside.

Just then, he got a call from Jason.

After some chit-chat, Jason obsequiously began to explain why he came.
“Commander Lennon, I'd... I'd like to ask you one thing...”

Jason was silent for a few seconds before speaking.

“Go ahead.”

Sean nodded gently.

“I'll stay out of you and the Zimmer family’s business.

“But I plead that you don’t kill them.

“At least let them live...”

Jason was silent for some while but interceded for Jon anyway.

Others might think Jason was making a fuss.

It was just a trade war. Would anyone get killed on it?

Businessmen only sought money and put profit as their priority.

How would they expose themselves to human murder?

However, only Jason knew that only applied to normal businessmen.

Sean was more than just a businessman.

To the nine—star commander, who used to rule the battlefield and killed tens of
thousands of enemies...

Human life was nothing to him.

Killing two people was as significant as killing a chicken.

No one could stop him from killing anyone he wanted.

Jason waited quietly after he finished speaking, but Sean on the other end of the
line fell silent.

It made Jason worry.

What was he supposed to do if Sean was determined to kill them?

“Why?”

Sean whispered out one word after a while.

“Because... my family is somewhat related to the Zimmer family.

“They helped arrange for my mom to live in River City.

“They also helped my sister with her work.

“So I'd like to plead for them...”

Jason dared not hide anything from Sean and spoke clearly.

“They helped you, and you helped them.

“So, you don’t owe them anything.”

Sean answered gently. Without Jason's help, the Zimmer family would never
have grown so fast.

“Commander Lennon, I know that.

“But I want to help them one last time.”

Jason gritted his teeth. The grateful tough soldier could not go against his heart.
No matter who was right or what he owed, he just wanted to do something for the
Zimmer family one last time.

Then he would be able to have a clear conscience.

“You have my word.”

Sean was silent for a few seconds before nodding gently.

“Thank you, Commander Lennon!”

Jason let out a long sigh at that.

He was finally relieved.

With Sean's identity and personality, he would keep his promise. There would be
no changes.

If he said he would not kill Jon, he would not.

“Commander, did Jason call?”

Zander asked as Sean put the phone down.

“Yes.”

Sean nodded, turned, and sat back in his chair.

Zander thought for a moment before asking again.

“Did he plead mercy for the Zimmer family?”

waved his hand slightly and did not explain much.Yes.Xander immediately
