The Guardian's Sword

Chapter 99

Homer had searched online extensively, but all he had learned was that the Lilac
Heart Weed was an ornamental plant.

It had no medicinal properties and was definitely not something Sean wanted.
“This Lilac Heart Weed is a herb that's exclusively found in the northwest.

“It is indeed an uncommon sight in our region.”

Sean frowned, his tone of voice slightly exasperated.

It was most unfortunate that the Lilac Heart Weed was an irreplaceable
component.

If it was any other herb, Sean would be able to figure something out, probably by
exchanging it with another herb with similar properties.

However, since Lilac Heart Weeds were the main component of the entire
medicinal course, how could it be easily swapped out?

“Mr. Lennon, do you know what this herb looks like?”

Homer Larson nodded as he asked for a specific description from Sean.

“Mr. Lennon, Ill take note of its appearance on my side as well and have some
people look for it.”

Hayden Luke heard them and volunteered to look for it too.

“I'm counting on the both of you, then.

“This is a very important herb to me.”

The two of them were pleasantly surprised by the way Sean was speaking to
them, and they nodded affirmatively.

After they parted ways, Sean went straight home.

Willow and Kent had already gone to work at that time.

Fion Wilson would not stay at home alone, so there should have been no one at
home at that moment.

However, when Sean pushed the gate open, he saw an uninvited guest.

In the patio, there was a smirking young man sat on a chair, his feet casually
dangling off it like he was the rightful owner of the Quinn villa.

There were six burly, stoic—looking bodyguards behind him as well.

It was Quill Zimmer, that annoyingly persistent man.

“Yo, the veg is back!”

When Sean pushed the gate open, Quill saw him and let out a hoot.
However, he quickly corrected himself. “My bad, what a bad habit of mine! You're
no longer a veg now, right, cripple?”

Quill's tone and the expression on his face were heavy with mockery.

“You're just marching into my home uninvited? Are you sick of living already?”
Sean pushed his wheelchair slowly toward Quill.

“Hah, your home?

“You're a cripple no better than a parasite to Willow. The audacity you must have
to call this place your home!”

Quill scoffed coldly as he scanned Sean up and down.

Sean's face was stoic, iciness filling his eyes.

“Haha, you don't know, do you?

“Aunt Fion gave me a key to this house a long time ago, and that's why I can
come in and out of this place as I please.”

As Quill was speaking, he picked up a bunch of keys on the table and waved it
around in the air.

“Oh, right, there are also keys to Willow's room in here... Hehe!

“What do you think Aunt Fion meant when she gave me that?”

Quill's eyes were filled with mockery and disdain.

So what if Willow's your fiance?

I have the keys to her room, and I can enter it any time I want. Are you mad
about that?

Indeed, as soon as Sean heard it, coldness emitted from his eyes.

“I'm only going to say this once.

“So listen up, Quill Zimmer.”

Sean looked at Quill and spoke slowly.

“Number one, return the Nine—star Armor and Nation Defending Sword to me
24639

without a scuff or a scratch.

“Number two, leave Willow alone.”

Once Sean was done, Quill burst out into laughter after being briefly stunned
Clank!

Quill slammed the bunch of keys back down on the table.

“Do you really think you're something, Sean Lennon?

“I'll tell it to your face today: I took your things, and I also wanna touch your
woman!

“If you know what's good for you, scram and leave the Quinns before they chase
you out of her!

“Only I, Quill Zimmer, am worthy of being with Willow Quinn!”

Quill lowered himself slightly and towered over Sean.

“If you don’t know any better, then don’t blame me for being harsh.”

Quill's expression was icy cold as he looked at Sean scornfully.

He still held a grudge against Sean for slapping him last time.

Today, he had brought six bodyguards with him.

He did not believe that Sean would still dare to make a move against him!
“Are you seriously sick of living?”

Sean narrowed his eyes, a glint of murderous intent flashing in them.

“Haha! You're still clueless, aren't you?

“I'm about to propose to Willow in front of the entirety of River City.

“Even Old Madam Quinn supports me. So, what do you think? Are the Quinns
going to chase you out?

“Say, do you think Willow will want flowers and diamond rings, or will she still
want a cripple like you?”

Quill looked down on Sean like a mighty ruler to a servant.

He would do all he could to attack Sean's dignity so much that he would
voluntarily leave the Quinns. This way, it would save Quill loads of trouble.
“People say women are like clothes...

“Aren't you insistent that Willow's your woman?

“I'll just wear your clothes and f*ck your woman, then. Hahaha!"

Quill cackled.

Suddenly. Sean reached out and yanked Quill down by his collar.

Whoosh!

His arm quickly shot out and slapped Sean without hesitation. (2

Slap!

A resounding, crisp slap.

Quill's laughter choked in his throat as his cheek burned from the slap.

The force of the slap was so great it had made him twirl around twice from where
he was standing.

“Do you ever learn?

“Have you really forgotten the last time I slapped you?”

Sean retracted his arm slowly and spoke faintly.

“Since you don't want any of your dignity when I so mercifully spared you some,
mark my words!

“I will have the head of the Zimmer family kneel before me and return my things
to me with reverence, handing them over to me with both his hands.”
