The Guardian's Sword

Chapter 960

“Wonderful! That’s just fantastic!

“You’re truly cunning, Mr. Thomson. You must be the reincarnation of Einstein!”

Jon took a deep breath and quickly tried to flatter James.

“Hahahaha!”

James was taking a puff of his cigar and could not help but start laughing.

For him, taking Sean down was nothing but easy.

Soon, the branch he was in charge of could take root in River City and grow tremendously.

By getting a hold of such an important piece of land, even if James were to return to headquarters, he

would be placed in a very high ranking.

This was his ultimate goal.

“So what do you plan on doing now, Mr. Thomson?

“I feel like Sean Lennon isn’t someone who’s going to sit still.”

Jon had suffered in Sean’s hands before, so he was not able to calm down quickly.

It was because he underestimated Sean at the beginning that after getting attacked by him multiple

times, Jon ultimately was reduced to nothing.

“What can the meager Sean Lennon do anyway?

“I’ve sent over River City’s tax department, and staff administration from the government offices to head

over to Lennon Group.

“If all goes according to plan, he’s probably in jail by now.

“Once he goes in, he won’t be able to communicate with the outside world. So won’t we have the final

say on what’s going on outside?

“Even if I fabricate something out of thin air, he has no chance to defend himself.”

James picked up his teacup. His tone was filled with confidence.

All of this was within his grasp.

Hence, the feeling of being in control of everything gave him a great sense of

accomplishment.

“Fantastic, Mr. Thomson!

“Truly fantastic!”

Jon was filled with even more admiration.

Sean Lennon, who seemed so difficult for him to deal with, was defeated by James within such a short

time.

This was indeed worthy of Jon’s admiration.

Bzz! Bzz!

Just then, James‘ cell phone started ringing.

“Speak of the devil.”

James took it out and looked at it, and the smile on his face deepened even more.

“Hey, Jasper. Have you arrested Sean Lennon?

“Make sure you cut off all of his contact with the outside world.”

James chuckled slightly. The look in his eyes was filled with malice and coldness.

This time around, even if the angels came down, they simply could not change Sean’s fate.

Nevertheless, Jasper Quinton, who was on the other line, said this in a low voice.

“Mr. Thomson… something unexpected happened.”

“Huh?

“What’s going on?”

James paused upon hearing this and slightly knitted his brows.

“We couldn’t get Sean.

“It’s because… their accounts are spotless, and.. the company’s head has changed.

“So we had no right to arrest him.”

Jasper was quiet for a few seconds, but still thought of an excuse to explain the situation.

Frankly, they.could not take Sean away because of Colton.

However, he was just a.government officer from a small city. How could he casually throw out that big

shot Colton’s name under the bus?

Plus, Colton had even spoken to him personally, asking him to keep things hush. Could he still pretend

to not understand what Colton had meant?

Even though they were helping James because someone from Souz River had given the orders.

Colton’s identity was even more terrifying than the person that gave them that order.

Jasper naturally did not dare to take such a risk.

“Humph! He’s certainly not one to take his time.”

When James heard this, he snorted coldly.

He had zero suspicions regarding Jasper’s excuse.

After all, Jen–Bond Holdings had connections in Souz River, and that was something far beyond what

Sean had.

So it was impossible that the River City’s government officers would disobey their superiors and stand

on Sean’s side.

No one would be that foolish to do such a thing.

Jasper pondered for two seconds and spoke again.

“I think it’ll be hard to get this done, Mr. Thomson.

“Even if we manage to bring him back, we can’t lock him up for too long.”

“I got it.

“Sorry for the trouble. I’ll treat you to dinner some other day.”

James responded with a smile, then hung up the phone slowly.

“I’ve truly underestimated Sean.

“I didn’t expect him to already take some precautions.”

James put his phone down with a cold look in his eyes.

“What happened, Mr. Thomson?”

Jon looked at James and asked nervously.

“It’s nothing. It doesn’t change much.

“The plan will go on as usual. Even if Sean’s outside, he can’t change the result.

“Hah! The only thing he can do is watch helplessly as I destroy him.”

James said in a cold tone as he folded his sleeves.

“If you need me to do anything, Mr. Thomson, please let me know.”

Jon nodded again. He would be listening to James‘ every word from now on.

Inside Golden Villa Garden.

After Sean handed things over to Zander and Harry, he immediately went home.

It was already almost eleven o’clock.

Sean had thought that Willow would be in bed by now.

However, as soon as he entered the living room, Willow greeted him and helped him get.

his slippers.

“Why aren’t you resting? Were you waiting for me?”

Sean smiled and reached out to touch Willow’s head.
