Chapter 246
Summon Of The Sword
Initially, the Soaring Wyvern Nightclub was not considered a famous establishment amongst the other giants at River City.
For all these years, it had been under Charles Christianâs oppression. Every time the people of the underworld were to party, they would choose Charlesâ establishments since at that time, Charlesâ was the boss of the underworld.
Now that Charles was gone and that Flint Howard that had climbed up and replaced him, the smaller forces of the underworld had all noticed the change in âleadershipâ and were all beginning to scoot closer to Flint.
This was why the earnings of Flintâs establishments had increased exponentially recently.
At that time, in Soaring Wyvern Nightclubâs penthouse premium lounge.
Sean had arrived at this place after sending Willow home.
Flint Howard had come personally to meet Sean.
There were only two of them in the entire premium lounge.
This would mean that Flint had soinething he wanted to discuss with Sean privately.
âPlease have some tea, Mr. Lennon!â
Flint remained very courteous to Sean this entire time.
Even if Sean was a cripple, he did not show even an ounce of disdain.
Flint was pretty much clear about Seanâs social status after a few days of intentional research about him.
It was a slight exaggeration to call it social status since Sean actually did not have any.
The only status he had was probably the future sonâinâlaw of the River City Quinn family.
He had been a vegetable for the past two years.
However, Flint could not find out anything regarding Scan before the two years. It was like it was wiped clean.
Even more so, the more Flint felt like Sean was mysterious, the more courteous he was to Sean.
âI shouldâve met you earlier, Mr. Lennon.
âBut, I havenât found the chance, and I could not contact you...â
Flint cleared his throat as he explained softly to Sean.
In whatever he said, there were, of course, eleinents of lies in it.
If he were able to do a background check on Sean he was definitely able to contact Sean.
Sean did not want to expose him, so he just nodded slightly in response.
From the looks of Seanâs face, Flint could not help but blush.
His semiâsincere courtesy words may be effective before others, but before Sean, it was nothing but an exaggerated act!
Flint was sheepish, so he immediately reached out for his teacup and said, âMr. Lennon, I will not say anything further before I drink this cup of tea, in replacement of alcohol in your honor.â
Then, he downed the cup of tea.
âIf it was not for Mr. Lennon, I would not be where I am today.â 2 Flint gently placed down his cup and started his order of business.
âI actually didnât do anything much.â
Sean was toying with the cup in his hands as he muttered.
âMr. Lennon, youâve helped me a ton regarding the Charles Christian matter.
âAlso, my subordinates have told me what you said when you came out of Charlesâ casino.
âHumbly, Iâve only managed to understand a portion of what youâve said, thatâs why I did all I did after thatâ¦â
In the beginning, Flint was doubtful.
What if he was caught while he was taking over Charlesâ establishments in a frenzy, he would. have plotted the wrong next move.
However, as he began to do what he did, it was like the government office had suddenly turned a blind eye towards his actions of taking over Charlesâ establishments.
So, Flint thought that Sean must have said something to the government, causing him to have such a smooth sailing of a journey.
âI know what youâre thinking.
âHowever, I wanna tell you that I havenât told anyone to turn a blind eye towards what you were doing.â
Sean looked at Flint and explained honestly.
âHuh?â
Flint was dumbfounded as he glanced at Sean confused.
However, the confusion in his eyes had quickly disappeared.
âMr. Lennon, did you even have to say much withi who you arc?
âPerhaps youâve not said anything to Mr.Zigger, but he knew what you mcant.â
After listening to Flint, commendation flashed through Seanâs cyes as he glanced at Flint.
This Flint was indeed a bright one.
That day, Gordon Zigger had arrested Sean because of the Charles Christian issue.
Then, the head of the CIA had arrived personally and implied that he was on Seanâs side.
Gordon Zigger was no sool. He would only need to think slightly further to be able to understand more things.
There ought to be some relation between Sean Lennon, Charles Christian, and Flint Howard.
Under said circumstances, whatever that Flint wanted to do, as long as it did not exceed a certain limit, Gordon Zigger would have kept one eye close to curry favor with Sean.
Sean was clear of this, that was why he was confident.
When Seanâs godfather tauglit him how to play chess eons ago, he said, being involved in the underworld was like playing chess.
One should think five steps aliead even if they were to play the next step. Only that meant that they had thought out plans and strategies for the future.
Sean had remembered it all clearly.
âIâll only say this once.
âThe path is considered paved, no matter what.
âHow you walk on it is up to you.
âI donât know anyone, and I wonât be able to provide you with further assistance.â
When Sean paused, Flint was puzzled.
âSo, if you expect me to be your background support, impossible.â
Sean kept quiet after he was done speaking.
Flint, on the other hand, had sunk into silence.
Sean was really straightforward with what he said.
âI, Sean Lennon did not have such a powerful background like what you had expected.
âI canât be of any help for you.
âWhether youâd still want me as a friend, itâs entirely up to you.â
