The Guardian's Sword

Chapter 1103

“The Zimmer family in River City are no more…

“How dare Sean do that?

“How dare he do it?”

Old Madam Quinn slowly sighed as if asking or talking to herself.

“Grandma, could he be threatening us?”

Faye warned in a whisper as she frowned.

“Threatening…

“Yeah, he’s telling the Quinn family that he can do whatever he wants.”

There was a hint of bitterness on Old Madam Quinn’s lips.

Simon frowned and pondered for a moment before looking at Old Madam Quinn and spoke.

“Grandma, let’s not worry too much.

“If Sean did this, there’s no way he can get away with it.

“He can’t get away with murder.”

Others nodded too.

“That’s true.”

There was no way Sean could get away with it if he were the culprit.

“Besides, it’s in the news. Someone will find out the truth.

“Sean can’t get away with it.”

Simon still had a problem with Sean.

Willow’s father, Kent, watched in silence.

He increasingly realized how keen–minded and intelligent Sean was.

After Sean recovered, he looked on coldly whenever the Quinn family spoke.

Kent had no idea what Sean was going through at the time.

Now, Kent felt as if everyone else was drunk except him, and he seemed to be watching a circus show.

However, he would not say much either.

Knowing he could not persuade them, he chose to look on and see how long they would invite trouble

to themselves.

However, Kent could not take it anymore as they spoke harsher.

“You’re all so excited.

“What’s the matter? What does the Quinn family stand to gain if Sean goes to prison?”

The talking crowd stopped as soon as Kent spoke.

They could not name the benefits they would gain.

Simon would not gain anything from targeting Sean, but it would make him feel better.

“At the very least, he won’t have a chance to strut his stuff in front of us if he’s imprisoned.

“We don’t have to be threatened by him.”

Old Madam Quinn took over the conversation and said indifferently.

Kent gave Old Madam Quinn a look and shook his head slightly.

“How do you know he’s going to be jailed?”

Kent asked the crowd, shaking his head in resignation.

“Duh. It’s a done deal.

“If he had powerful connections, he could have suppressed it, and no one would have known.

“How can he suppress it now that it’s in the news?”

Simon bragged with disdain.

The others agreed.

“Breaking news. We have new progress with the murder of the man surnamed Zimmer.”

Just then, the television’s speakers caught everyone’s attention once again.

Swoosh!

The Quinn family immediately turned their heads around and shut up.

“According to the government’s investigation, the man surnamed Zimmer was involved in a dispute with

some fugitives from outside the city.

“Negotiations between the two parties failed, resulting in the man surnamed Zimmer’s death.

“Besides that, when the police arrived, they were confronted with the resistance of the criminals holding

weapons. When the officers‘ life was threatened, they had no choice but to defend themselves, killing

several criminals on the spot and arresting two suspects.

The TV host explained it clearly on TV.

Jon got into a dispute with someone and was killed.

Sean had nothing to do with this.

The crowd paused again at this.

“Does this really have nothing to do with Sean? I don’t believe it!”

A middle–aged man said with a frown.

“I don’t believe it either.

“But that’s what proves Sean’s horror all the more.

“Who do you think is behind the news?”

Samuel looked at the crowd and said in a whisper.

“Who’s behind it?”

The crowd froze at Samuel’s words. Then they pondered it as they frowned.

“Sam, do you mean Sean released the news on purpose?”

The middle–aged man asked with a frown as he looked at Samuel.

“Will there be anything else?

“We all thought it was on the news because Sean failed to suppress it.

“However, the news now says it has nothing to do with him. Doesn’t it prove how powerful he is?”

The others were speechless as soon as Samuel said that.

Simon also obediently chose to remain silent this time.

No matter how reluctant they were, they had to accept it now that the facts were right in front of them.

“In other words, Sean killed Jon.

“And Sean is now powerful enough to suppress everything and confuse right and wrong.

“Does Sean own River City?”

Old Madam Quinn slowly clenched her hands and said as she widened her eyes.

“Old Madam, you’re right.

“Even if River City isn’t Sean’s now, it’s pretty much…”

Samuel answered immediately, and no one could refute what he said.

Everyone present had mixed feelings.

The conference room fell silent for a moment.

Their thinking had changed dramatically.

At the same time.

Lathan Manor, Joules Town.

Anson Lathan, the current patriarch of the Lathan family, called Chloe into his study.

“Dad, you wanted to see me?”

Chloe asked in a whisper as she looked at Anson.

“See you? I wanted to see you, of course!

“Do you know what you made me do to help that man?”

Anson put down his book and turned to Chloe furiously.

“What?”

Chloe froze slightly at that.

She had asked Anson to help Sean some time ago.

He did help Sean considerably afterward.

Was that not in the past?

Why did Anson bring it up now?

“He killed someone.

“And not just one.

“I’m telling you. He’s dead meat this time.”

Anson slammed on the table and said sternly as he glared at Chloe.
