With that in mind, Lillian could not care less and quickly grabbed Frederic's hand, saying, "Uncle Frederic, stop it. Mr.
Lennon is Dorodo's city defense army's..."
However, Frederic interrupted Lillian with a cold snort before she could finish speaking.
"So he's with the city defense army? Is he a big shot in the army? Ha, so what? He has no right to flaunt himself in
front of my Frederic! He can say whatever he wants when he's the commander-in-chief of Dorodo's city defense
army!"
Once Frederic finished speaking, Lillian froze instantly.
She had so many mixed emotions that she did not know what to do. It was because Sean was the commander-in-
chief of Dorodo's city defense army!
Just then, the shop door was flung open.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA young man in military uniform strode in, followed by two soldiers with crossbows in their hands and swords
hanging around their waists!
However, the young man and the soldiers he brought were not city defense soldiers but belonged to the mayor of
Dorodo, Quentin.
Quentin was the mayor of Dorodo, and his personal safety must be guaranteed. Therefore, Quentin had a team of
30 personal bodyguards. These personal guards did not belong to the city defense army. They were two separate
systems.
The young man in the lead was the captain of Quentin's personal guards.
Sean and the captain of the personal guards had met at the banquet but did not greet each other.
Sean recognized the captain of the personal guards, but he did not seem to recognize Sean.
He walked past Sean and stood before Frederic and the other customers after entering.
He said haughtily, "Oh, Mr. Douglas, business is booming! I heard you had a new collection of antiques. The mayor
asked me to come and have a look."
Frederic still looked furious when he talked to Sean, but he immediately smiled when he saw the captain of the
personal guards.
"It's you, Captain Hooter. Sorry for not waiting for you at the door. Sorry for not waiting for you at the door! Here,
here, here. This way, please. I've prepared some antiques for the mayor. They're his favorite types."
With that said, Frederic directed Captain Hooter to the most prominent spot in front of the shelf.
The other customers shut up and said nothing.
"What's going on here?" Sean asked, looking at Lillian.
Lillian sighed helplessly before lowering her voice and explaining, "His name is Tobias Hooter. He's the captain of
Mayor Quentin's personal guards. Every once in a while, he would come to Uncle Frederic's shop and say he's here
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmto pick out antiques for the mayor, but he never paid for them."
"He never paid?" Sean frowned.
He took antiques but did not pay for them. That was not buying but robbing!
How could the mayor, Quentin, have the captain and members of his personal guards rob an antique store?
It was outrageous!
"Have you never complained?" Sean asked again.
Lillian looked even more helpless as she said, "Complain? Who should we complain to? Quentin's the mayor. He's in
charge of everything in Dorodo. He asked the captain of his personal guards to pick up some antiques. What could
nobodies like us do?"
Sean was deep in thought once hearing Lillian say that.
However, there was suddenly a piercing noise of things breaking.
Then the captain of the personal guards, Tobias, shouted in displeasure. "Mr. Douglas, come on. The mayor ordered
me to patronize your business, and you just gave me a few pieces of crap to call it a day. Are you trying to mess
with the mayor?"
