Chapter 1640
With that in mind, Lillian could not care less and quickly grabbed Frederic's hand, saying, "Uncle
Frederic, stop it. Mr. Lennon is Dorodo's city defense army's..."
However, Frederic interrupted Lillian with a cold snort before she could finish speaking.
"So he's with the city defense army? Is he a big shot in the army? Ha, so what? He has no right to
flaunt himself in front of my Frederic! He can say whatever he wants when he's the commander-in-chief
of Dorodo's city defense army!"
Once Frederic finished speaking, Lillian froze instantly.
She had so many mixed emotions that she did not know what to do. It was because Sean was the
commander-in-chief of Dorodo's city defense army!
Just then, the shop door was flung open.
A young man in military uniform strode in, followed by two soldiers with crossbows in their hands and
swords hanging around their waists!
However, the young man and the soldiers he brought were not city defense soldiers but belonged to
the mayor of Dorodo, Quentin.
Quentin was the mayor of Dorodo, and his personal safety must be guaranteed. Therefore, Quentin
had a team of 30 personal bodyguards. These personal guards did not belong to the city defense army.
They were two separate systems.
The young man in the lead was the captain of Quentin's personal guards.
Sean and the captain of the personal guards had met at the banquet but did not greet each other.
Sean recognized the captain of the personal guards, but he did not seem to recognize Sean.
He walked past Sean and stood before Frederic and the other customers after entering.
He said haughtily, "Oh, Mr. Douglas, business is booming! I heard you had a new collection of antiques.
The mayor asked me to come and have a look."
Frederic still looked furious when he talked to Sean, but he immediately smiled when he saw the
captain of the personal guards.
"It's you, Captain Hooter. Sorry for not waiting for you at the door. Sorry for not waiting for you at the
door! Here, here, here. This way, please. I've prepared some antiques for the mayor. They're his
favorite types."
With that said, Frederic directed Captain Hooter to the most prominent spot in front of the shelf.
The other customers shut up and said nothing.
"What's going on here?" Sean asked, looking at Lillian.
Lillian sighed helplessly before lowering her voice and explaining, "His name is Tobias Hooter. He's the
captain of Mayor Quentin's personal guards. Every once in a while, he would come to Uncle Frederic's
shop and say he's here to pick out antiques for the mayor, but he never paid for them."
"He never paid?" Sean frowned.
He took antiques but did not pay for them. That was not buying but robbing!
How could the mayor, Quentin, have the captain and members of his personal guards rob an antique
store?novelbin
It was outrageous!
"Have you never complained?" Sean asked again.
Lillian looked even more helpless as she said, "Complain? Who should we complain to? Quentin's the
mayor. He's in charge of everything in Dorodo. He asked the captain of his personal guards to pick up
some antiques. What could nobodies like us do?"
Sean was deep in thought once hearing Lillian say that.
However, there was suddenly a piercing noise of things breaking.
Then the captain of the personal guards, Tobias, shouted in displeasure. "Mr. Douglas, come on. The
mayor ordered me to patronize your business, and you just gave me a few pieces of crap to call it a
day. Are you trying to mess with the mayor?"
