Summon of The Sword novel Chapter 1774

"Yes, got it."

What else could Miriam say but quickly nod?

Then Sean looked up at the people standing in the back.

These were guests of the ball, and they were top distinguished businessmen.

There were 70 or 80 guests at the ball tonight, yet only ten were in the room now. You could say they had the highest status of all the guests at the ball or they were unqualified to enter the now-exclusive lounge.

"Dorodo's economy has been growing steadily because of you. But it's inappropriate to indulge in excessive drinking. I hope you can restrain yourself."

Sean said flatly.

"Yes, yes, yes. We understand."

"I usually wear simple clothes. I rented a suit for Ms. Wosh's ball to keep up appearances."

"I wore a rental too."

"We lead simple lives."

The wealthy businessmen said quickly, but Sean would be unbelievably naive to believe them.

Sean was not going to say any more.

"Alright, be gone. I've had desserts and tea. It's time I leave."

With that said, Sean stood up.

"Stay a little longer, Commander Lennon. It's still early."

"Yeah, it's not yet dark outside!"

"It's only 7 p.m. What's your hurry? Please stay."

Sean waved his hand and headed for the door. The wealthy businessmen wanted him to stay, but none dared to stop him.

Shania also rose to leave. Then she and Uriah followed Sean out of the Wosh family's villa.

It was not until Sean left that the businessmen in the lounge finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Miriam finally relaxed and collapsed on the sofa.

"Dad, I..."

Miriam stammered, looking terrified.

Benedict laughed and shook his head, saying, "Don't worry. It's alright now. Commander Lennon isn't someone petty. If he's truly angry, you'd be dead already. Since he didn't do anything to you, it meant he didn't take what happened earlier seriously."

Hearing her father say this, Miriam's heart finally calmed down.

Sean, Shania, and Uriah strolled the streets after leaving the Wosh family's villa.

"Commander Lennon, have you had any plans recently?"

Shania asked with a smile.

"Plans? No, it's business as usual."

Sean said as he shook his head.

Shania pondered and said, "Since you're free, why don't I ask you out to play tomorrow?"

"You're the mayor's daughter. You're a rich heiress who doesn't have to do anything but enjoy life. How can I compare with you? How am I supposed to command the city defense army if all I do is play?"

Sean asked, amused.

There was instantly a look of disappointment on Shania's face, and Uriah said, "Miss, stop giving Commander Lennon a hard time. Look at how many troublesome affairs your father has to deal with regularly to know how busy Commander Lennon is."

Sean was slightly ashamed to hear Uriah's remark.

He was busy, but not nearly as busy as Quentin.

Quentin was the mayor of Dorodo—the head of the city. The number of things he had to manage was uncountable.

While Sean's status and authority were not inferior to Quentin's, he only needed to manage the city defense army well.

He did not have much to deal with as long as there was no war and chaos.
