"At my age, my life isn't worth much.
"You're all still young, and you have many more important things to do.
"So all of you should leave. Just leave me here alone."
Connie said as she grabbed the little girl and tried to push them away.
"I'll take the blame.
"Mr. Lennon, I want nothing. I only hope you can help my daughter-in-law and granddaughter find a place to live.
"If my daughter-in-law meets someone suitable, I support her to remarry. I know how hard it is to take care of a child alone.
"Promise me, and I will die without regret."
Connie looked at Sean and said seriously.
"Grandma, I don't want you to die. I don't want you to die..."
The little girl seemed to know what the word death represented as she burst into tears.
Sally even covered her mouth, her eyes red.
"Little girl, we represent justice. Why will she die?
"With me around, none of us will die. Do you believe me?"
Sean took two steps forward, slowly crouched down, and said as he touched the little girl's face.
"Yes!"
The little girl nodded heavily.
Although young, she also saw traces of her father, Patrick, in Sean.
It was protection and a sense of security.
"Okay! If you believe in me, I won't let you down.
"Zander, get me the Guardian Sword."
Sean whispered with his back facing Zander.
"Commander, you..."
Zander's eyes widened instantly.
The Guardian Sword was exclusive to the nine-star commander and symbolized his status.
Even though Blaze had been promoted to an eight-star commander, he was not qualified to hold the Guardian Sword.
There was only one Guardian Sword in the entire Dragon Kingdom.
The Guardian Sword was the nine-star commander's symbol of status. You would have the imperial right to strike first.
A nine-star commander was a powerful weapon of the nation, which was also the Guardian Sword.
The Guardian Sword also represented the nine-star commander.
The two relied on each other, becoming one.
The sword coexisted with its wielder.
Its status was too important for words to explain.
Let's just say that people who did not recognize it would not recognize it.
Anyone who recognized it would recognize Sean immediately.
There would be only two outcomes if Sean wanted to use the sword.
Either the Joules Town government did not recognize it and could only bring it to their higher-ups, or Sean's cover and whereabouts would be blown.
Therefore, Zander hesitated.
