The Guardian's Sword

Chapter 2012

1.36 p.m. Sunnyridge Street in suburban Ocean City.

Sean took a deep breath when he arrived.

To be honest, he had no idea where to find Willow. He had given the order to secretly investigate the Lake family,

but he would be foolish to expect any useful information at such short notice.

"Mr. Lennon, what should we do now?"

Zander noticed Sean had hurried over as he asked, and he immediately followed.

Because they were in a rush, one of the two drunk men brushing past Sean hit Zander's shoulder.

"I'm so sorry." Zander curtly apologized and continued to catch up with Sean.

The man who had been hit in the shoulder grabbed Zander’s shoulder.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Do you not look where you're going? Are you blind?"

Before Zander could answer, the man swung at Zander’s face.

Seeing this, Zander took the man's fist in his hand.

"What's the matter with you? I didn't knock you down or hurt you. I even apologized. What more do you want?"

"What do I want? Can you fool me with just a casual apology? Is that how you apologize? Are you kidding me?"

Zander was somewhat upset to hear that.

Zander, who always preferred to use violence, had apologized politely.

Sean said, "Zander, there's no time to waste with this trash."

"Yes, got it." Zander glared at the two men before running after Sean.

"Hmph. Consider you two lucky.”

Zander took Sean's advice and let the two go.

However, these two drunk guys kept looking for trouble.

The man with a big nose ran in front of Sean and intercepted Sean's path.

"What's the matter? Are you planning to leave after hitting others? And you looked like you did nothing wrong. Do

you think that's right?"

Sean frowned slightly at this.

However, the two men saw Sean's inaction as weakness and immediately taunted Sean and Zander.

"Haha," the man in front of Sean banged his fists together in an attempt to intimidate Sean.

"Gave up so soon? You're no good either! It's not too late to beg for mercy, but given what you said before, we can

talk

things through if you kneel and apologize."

The man standing behind Zander also sneered and showed Zander his middle finger.

"B*tch, I gave you face. Kneel and apologize or take a beating. I'll give you three seconds to think it over. You're

going to get hurt."

"One."

"Two." The man who uttered the word burst into laughter.

"No way! Really? You're not too scared to move, are you? I've never seen such a timid person. How funny."

"Since you're like this, we have no other choice. We have no choice but to beat you both up. Don't worry. We'll do it

as gently as possible."

With that said, these two men attacked Sean and Zander.

Zander could not bear it anymore and gritted his teeth bitterly.

"Mr. Lennon."

A grin instantly appeared on Zander's face when he saw Sean's slight nod.

As soon as the man swung at him, Zander slapped him backhanded and sent him flying to the ground. He spat a

mouthful of blood and all his teeth. The way he looked was terrible.

The remaining guy rushed at Sean.

The unbothered Sean looked like a loser who was too scared to move to him.

One of the men saw his partner getting slapped to the ground just as he was about to teach Sean a lesson.

The man gasped with fear.

"You!"

Ignoring his pal, he angrily punched at Sean in the cheek, intending to knock him down and take care of Zander.

However, Zander appeared in front of Sean at an unimaginable speed. He grabbed his fist that was aimed at Sean.

There was a cracking sound as his hand applied pressure.

The man immediately cried out in distress.

"How dare you lay a hand on Mr. Lennon? Hmph! You're not qualified." Zander slapped the man in the face.

He also slammed him to the ground and put him in the same miserable condition as the previous man.

Sean did not bother to say anything. He stepped over the man's body and walked on.

The two "humiliated" men's faces looked unyielding.

"Stop right there! Do you want to run after beating us up? How is that possible?"

"Yeah, do you know who we are? I’m telling you. Our names

will scare the shit out of you! We work for Lamar! You offend Lamar by beating us up! You're dead meat!"

Zander snorted coldly. "What the hell? These two men would not know how they died if this were a battlefield."

Although he wanted to return to the two men and kick them, Zander could only forget about it since Sean had no

intention of giving them any more attention.

However, before they could walk far, Sean and Zander were surrounded by more than 30 people while walking

through a small alley.

Sean and Zander looked at each other and figured out they were the accomplices of the two men earlier.

By the looks of it, it looked like they were trying to force Sean and Zander into the empty alley.

Sean went straight into the alley without even looking at them.

Knowing what Sean meant, Zander went right in too.

The men blocked the alley's two exits.

The two men Zander had beaten earlier were now carried over to Sean and Zander.

"That's them!"

"Yes, Lamar. Those two beat us up!"

As the two men shouted, a shirtless man with a ferocious lion tattoo came to the front.

He was chewing gum and holding a metal baseball bat.

"Where are you two from? How dare you hit my men? You two are quite bold. Do you know what the consequences

are?"

Zander shouted, "You fools! You took the hard way when we gave you the easy way out!"

"Hey, who's the one taking the hard way?" Lamar smacked his lips as he swayed his baseball bat and flexed his

muscles.
