Chapter 236 Making a Name in the Capital, the Magic of Love
Phyllis held her phone, chatting with Sean for more than half an hour before reluctantly handing it to Cecelia, saying quite playfully, “Mom, I think I’ve had enough kisses from Dad.”
“Here, it’s your turn.”
“You two can kiss and chat all you want, I’ll pretend to be asleep so I won’t disturb you.” After saying this, she lay down to the side, closed her eyes, and pretended to be fast asleep. However, a small gap in her eyelids revealed that she was secretly observing Cecelia.
“Look how clever you are.”
“Go to sleep!”
Cecelia noticed Phyllis’s little trick, shook her head in amusement, and pulled up the blanket to cover Phyllis’s face.
You little rascal, try to peek now!
Laughter bubbled up from under the blanket as Phyllis giggled.
Sean, far away in the capital, saw this heartwarming scene through his phone screen, and his normally cold heart seemed to melt. A happy smile involuntarily appeared at the corners of his mouth.
In this lonely world, having some people to care for each other was a very fortunate thing.
Afterward, Cecelia briefly recounted the situation in Hilshire, and Sean shared everything that had happened since he arrived in the capital. Upon hearing this, Cecelia couldn’t help but chide him, “You really are a troublemaker!”
“Wherever you go, you always manage to stir up a storm!”
Thinking back on everything that had happened since Sean left prison, it seemed to be true. In Hilshire, he turned everything upside down. In Crane, he caused a nationwide sensation! And now, having been in the capital for only a few hours, he managed to offend Prince Ashby, kill someone, and destroy a major family in the capital.
The capital was in chaos!
If not a troublemaker, what was he?
Sean replied awkwardly, “Maybe in my past life, I was a wind or rain god, and that’s why storms always follow me. I can’t seem to shake off the trouble no matter what I do.”
“Ugh, narcissist!” Cecelia rolled her eyes at him. After her complaint, all that remained was deep concern, “The capital is not like Hilshire; there are powerful families everywhere that you shouldn’t provoke. You must control your temper and not resort to violence so quickly, and not be too ruthless. I won’t stop you from seeking revenge, but you must protect yourself, understand?”
“Phyllis and I are in Hilshire, waiting for you to come back.”
“Waiting for you to come back and marry me!”
Normally, with Cecelia’s personality, she wouldn’t say such sentimental words. However, since she had given her heart to Sean, perhaps even she hadn’t noticed that she had changed. Words she would never say before, actions she would never take, had now become second nature.
It was as if it was meant to be this way.
Perhaps this was the magic of love.
“As you wish!” Sean nodded solemnly and smiled, “Don’t worry, my dear wife, when I return, I will surely marry you.”
“Besides,” he added, “Phyllis is still waiting for us to give her a little brother.”
Cecelia’s face instantly turned red. Sean seized the opportunity and pursed his lips, hinting, “Phyllis should be asleep by now, right? Darling, come on, I want a kiss too…”
Seeing Sean’s pursed lips forming a heart shape on the phone screen, Cecelia couldn’t help but laugh, her face still flushed. However, she didn’t grant Sean’s wish.
“Rascal!”
“In your dreams!”
“Wait until you come back, and I’ll let you have enough kisses!”
With that, she reached out and gently tapped the screen, disconnecting the video call.
Sean’s brow furrowed in confusion.
What the heck!
For you, my dear wife, I even rejected the advances of the princess without hesitation. And yet, you won’t even give me a simple air kiss?
Just wait until I come back and see how I will deal with you…
That night, the capital was rife with intrigue. News of Sean exterminating the Jefferson family spread rapidly throughout the entire capital, much like autumn winds sweeping away fallen leaves. Almost every influential family in the capital had heard the news through various channels.
The Jefferson residence was taken over by Prince Ashby’s forces.
Everyone speculated in secret, wondering if Prince Ashby would send people to the Jade Restaurant to surround and kill Sean in order to avenge the Jefferson family. After all, Prince Ashby had a reputation for being a ruthless character who always sought revenge.
However…
There was no activity from Prince Ashby’s residence throughout the night, which surprised everyone.
People began to guess at Sean’s background and identity. Without a powerful figure supporting Sean, how could he possibly make Prince Ashby so wary, remaining indifferent even when his confidant was killed?
For a time, various rumors swirled.
On Sean’s first night in the capital, his name had spread to every major family in the city in this manner.
He had definitely made a name for himself!
As for Sean himself, he slept soundly in the Jade Restaurant. The fact that Prince Ashby did not dare to act rashly was within Sean’s expectations. After all, this was the capital, and as Prince Ashby, he held a unique position. Even if he wanted to eliminate Sean, he wouldn’t do so openly, causing a stir throughout the city.
After all, there was still a Padishah in the Imperial Palace!
His will was unpredictable!
The struggle for the throne concerned life and death, and success or failure lay in the thoughts of the Padishah. As the former General Wolf of the North, Sean had outstanding military achievements. If anyone among them dared to surround and kill Sean without the Padishah’s permission, even if they succeeded, who knew how the Padishah would react?
If the Padishah were to place the blame on them, the consequences would be unimaginable!
This was also one of the reasons why Sean had decided on the spot to launch an attack on the Jefferson residence last night. According to his guess, the King of Night was likely someone close to the Padishah. As soon as he arrived in the capital, the King of Night met with him and granted him full freedom.
He was allowed to choose between Prince Ashby and Prince Roscoe!
This meant that his every move could not escape the watchful eye of the Padishah!
So, if he went to the Jefferson family’s residence to kill people and the King of Night didn’t appear to stop him, it meant that the Padishah tacitly approved his actions!
If the Padishah didn’t stop him, what did he have to fear?
Thus, if it had to be said that someone was supporting Sean from behind the scenes, that person would be the Padishah himself!
“Boss!” At eight in the morning, just as Sean had gotten up, Pupil Wolf and Spirit Wolf came to see him together, pointing downstairs and saying, “The news of your massacre of the Jefferson family last night has spread throughout the capital!”
“Outside the door, there’s a group of people.”
“They want to see you!”
“They are led by Rocco Lewis, Benedict Young, Aron Lawson, and Ruben Davidson!”
“Those are the four families that had sent people to help the Masons and besiege us back in Hilshire!”
In the battle of Hilshire, only the Complete Stage Old Mr. Lewis from those four families managed to escape with his life. Now that Sean had come to the capital and eliminated the Jefferson family right away, it was natural for them to be frightened.
They were worried that they would become Sean’s next target and follow in the footsteps of the Jefferson family.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
And so…
They had arrived!
