When he was in the army, Sean ran 12 kilometers a day, carrying 40 kilograms in gear. It was only one of his
exercise routines. Therefore, a few kilometers was no big deal. Besides, he could keep a low profile by walking. He
would not stand out too much.
They agreed to meet at 8.30 pm, but he had already arrived at 8.20 pm.
He thought he was early enough, but Ronald and Lillian were earlier than him.
"Mr. Lennon, you're here early!" Seeing Sean in the distance, Lillian excitedly stood on her tiptoes and waved her
arms at him.
I'm early?
You father and daughter don't get to say that. You got here earlier, okay?

walk over? All the way from the army camp? It's several kilometers away!"
"Yeah, Mr. Lennon. Why didn't you take a car?" Lillian asked in confusion.
Sean glanced at the father and daughter and suddenly realized they looked similar. Not only their looks, but their
character and tone of voice were also similar.
They were indeed related.
"I don't like taking the car very much," Sean said flatly.
Ronald froze before bursting into laughter and saying, "Mr. Lennon, you're special. I was wondering if I should give
you my new car!"
With that said, Ronald pointed to the black Mercedes parked not far away.
"That's not necessary. I don't need it," Sean casually declined.
If he wanted a ride, all he had to do was make a phone call, and a militaryjeep from the army camp would pick him
up. Therefore, he did not need to accept Ronald's gift.
"Alright... Mr. Lennon, are you satisfied with the ancient bronze sword fragments?" Ronald asked, looking for a topic
to make a conversation about.
"Yes." Sean nodded.
Then he prepared to ask Ronald where he bought the ancient bronze sword fragments. However, before he could
speak, a car came slowly from the distance and pulled up beside them.
It was the mayor, Quentin's car.
Sean shut up. He would wait for the right opportunity to ask again.

Quentin and his daughter, Shania, soon get out of the car.
After glancing at Ronald and Sean, Quentin greeted them with a chuckle. "Mr. Lennon and Mr. Townsend, sorry to
keep you waiting."
Sean said, "We didn't wait for long. I just got here too."
"Yeah, wejust got here too." Ronald and Lillian said together.
"Outside is no place to talk. Let's go inside..."
Quentin said and entered the cinema, holding his daughter's hand, Ronald, Lillian, and Sean followed suit.
Quentin must have sent word to the cinema because a service staff came to show them the way immediately after
they entered the cinema. The five did not enter the screening hall of the cinema but took their seats in a beautiful
private room.
They could see the screen from the private room on the second floor, and nothing would block their view.
There was no doubt that the cinema reserved the private room for VIP customers.
There were five steaming cups of coffee on the wooden coffee table. A bowl full of sugar cubes was placed in the
center, while a small cabinet full of snacks was in the corner of the private room.
