The guardian's sword by Taking Cigarette novel Chapter 98

Chapter 98

“Did you really think that anyone, no matter who it is is worthy of me taking their money?”

When Sean Lennon said these words, it felt like lightning had struck Mr. Lowe.

Jack Tomme, who was at the side felt a sense of superiority arose from the bottom of his heart.

It was almost like he was extremely proud of the fact that Sean actually took his money.

After Sean was done speaking, he turned his wheelchair slowly and was about to leave.

“Mr. Lennon, you… Please forgive one another when you can…”

Mr. Lowe’s face was ashen as he pled.

When Sean heard what he had to say, a smile crept onto his face.

Forgive each other while he could?

That was for other people to do.

As a former nine–star commander, Sean was already considered merciful if he would give someone a chance.

He was the supreme one in the army, he bore nine stars on his shoulders.

There was a saying that went, ‘a general’s reputation is built on thousands of corpses‘. For him to stand at the peak of the top, no one knew exactly how many people he had to bury to get to where he was.

This was a path that was built on bones and blood.

Mercy was something that had never existed in Sean’s vocabulary.

That was why, to Sean, what Mr. Lowe said was nothing but a joke.

After Sean and the others were long gone, Mr. Lowe looked like he had failed the test of life as he slumped trembling on the floor.

He could already imagine what his life would be like after that day.

Outside the office.

Homer and Hayden were both waiting further up ahead for Sean.

Naturally, Sean was saying his goodbyes to Leah and Candy.

“Take this card with you, Leah. and keep it.

“Remember, don’t tell anyone about this.”

Sean took out the bank card and passed it to Leah.

Leah was married into the Quinn family but was now widowed.

Her life was not any easier when compared to Sean’s.

Even her mother–in–law thought she was a shame since she only had a daughter who could not carry on the family name.

Her situation was actually extremely difficult.

“Sean, I cannot take this money.

“You should keep it. Candy and I, we don’t need much.”

Leah shook her hands and refused to accept the card.

“If it’s given to you, take it.

“After today, if you really can’t bear the Quinns‘ anymore, at least you’d have a way out.”

Sean did not explain further as he forced the card into Candy’s tiny hands.

After hearing what Sean had said, Leah bit her lip lightly.

“What about you?

“If you can no longer bear the Quinns‘, you’d need money too.”

Leah looked like she wanted to say more, but she did not.

“Yeah, Uncle Sean, I can ask my granny for money.

“But Uncle Sean, if you have no money, you can’t buy Tootsie Rolls anymore.”

Candy squeezed herself into Sean’s embrace and said solemnly.
