Summon of The Sword novel Chapter 1480

"Commander, why did you join the army?

"You were only ten back then, weren't you?"

Zander was silent for two seconds before asking.

After all, Sean was too young to understand the idea of defending the country.

Therefore, Zander did not think Sean had enlisted to repay the country.

"I would have rejected..."

Sean slowly turned his head and looked out the window, lost in memory.

He remembered meeting Colin by accident.

Then Colin wanted to take Sean away and join the army.

He managed to persuade May, but May insisted on letting Sean make his own choice.

Sean was reluctant to leave May, of course.

Kids that age only felt safe at home.

Sean thought of May as his only family and refused to be taken away by Colin.

"But my adoptive father asked me a question.

"He told me that only by becoming stronger can I protect the people I want to protect.

"So he asked me if I wanted to get stronger."

Sean slowly said with a smile.

"You said yes, so you left with Old General?"

Zander nodded at that.

"Yes, I said yes."

Sean nodded gently.

His idea was simple at the time.

He only wanted to make himself stronger and protect May.

He only wanted money to buy Caitlyn lots and lots of Alpenliebe lollipops.

Colin told Sean that he could become stronger if he left with him.

Therefore, Sean agreed without hesitation.

"You asked me why I was so happy.

"I'm happy, of course. I can do what I wanted to do when I was a kid. How can I not be happy?"

Zander finally understood why Sean wanted to start a business in Joules Town as soon as Sean spoke.

Sean would have visited Joules Town even if Old Master Collins was not here.

The greatest sorrow of life was no more than being unable to repay your parents' kindness, when they were no longer around.

May took Sean to the orphanage and single-handedly raised him.

Now that Sean was capable, it would be a shame for him not to repay May's kindness.

Therefore, meeting the Collins family was only something Sean did in passing.

He wanted nothing more than to come back and give May and the rest the best care he could.

"You want to make Lennon Real Estate bigger and stronger as well as a significant player in Joules Town.

"So that you're capable enough to protect them, right?"

Zander pondered for a few seconds before asking quietly.

"Sort of."

Sean smiled and nodded.

People could not forget their roots, let alone the kindness of those who raised them.
