Chapter 3

Author: Polymathēs
Sean fished out his phone to make a phone call after he left.

“Moses, make the necessary arrangements for me. I want to meet with the master of the Quarles family.” Sean spoke softly.

“Yes, Young Master!” Moses's voice came from the other end of the call.

Moses would have been returning to the Great Central Land since Sean’s test was over. He would be focusing on serving Sean.

The Quarles family was one of the ten wealthiest families in all of the Great Central Land—owning many businesses and assets worth over ten billion bucks. Among the ten families, the Quarles’ was relatively outstanding.

Sean knew that if he was to go ahead and seek an audience with the master of the Quarles family, he would be taken for a mad man and be kicked out regardless. Hence, he required Moses’ help.

Although his test was over, as the Supreme Leader himself, his identity and status was unique. Now was not a good time for him to expose who he was.

The first point was because he was not powerful enough. He could not yet strike fear in all the Elders in the Peerless Dragon.

Second, although the Peerless Dragon was the most powerful organization in the world, they had countless enemies.

If he was to rashly expose his true identity, it was unsure just how many assassins would be sent his way. However, with Sean’s current skills, he would only be able to defeat lesser enemies. If he was to fight head on the best fighter in the entire world alone, he would only have a half the chance of defeating his opponent.

Although he was able to get powerful people to protect him, these people would only be able to protect him for a short moment. They could not protect him for the rest of his life, right?

Sean arrived at the Quarles’ Group Chairman’s office in half an hour.

The master of the Quarles’ family greeted Sean politely. “To what do we owe the pleasure of your presence today?”

He received a phone call from the most powerful family of the Great Eastern Land earlier. Hence, George dared not to delay as he immediately greeted Sean.

The Great Eastern Land was a huge city and the most powerful family there had a net worth of in the couple hundred billions. Such a family was not one the Quarles family dared to cross.

“There’s no need for formalities, Master Quarles. My purpose here today is to ask you for a favor!” Sean spoke bluntly.

George replied in a surprised tone. “Oh? What would that be?”

“I was hoping that the Thompson family would be able to collaborate with the Quarles Group under the supervision of Maisie Thompson,” Sean said softly.

George stared at Sean with a frown. He seemed helpless as he asked, “Pardon my intrusion, but what relationship do you share with the Thompson family?”

The Quarles family was one of the ten wealthiest families in all of the Great Central Land. Obviously, they had their pride as well.

The Quarles family pioneered the pharmaceutical industry and the Thompsons was merely a meager second-class family, one of very little significance to George himself.

“I am Sean Young!” Sean calmly exclaimed.

George replied in a surprised tone, “Sean Young?”

With much deeper thought, George could not place when the Thompson family had acquired such an attractive outsider within their ranks.

Suddenly, George seemed to have realized something as he stared at Sean with a look of shock. “You wouldn’t happen to be the husband of one of the three prime beauties of all of the Great Central Land. Not Maisie Thompson’s Sean Young, are you?”

“That’s right, it’s me. So, about that favor, Master Quarles. I’ll fondly remember your kind gesture, and if there’s anything the Quarles need, you can always look for me,” Sean replied in a deeper voice.

George’s expression morphed from just moments ago. His respect for Sean became extremely bitter. Displeased, he said, “I actually thought some powerhouse had paid me a visit, but it turns out it’s the useless son-in-law of the Thompson family. Are you sure you’d be able to repay the gratitude the Quarles family gives you? Why don’t you take a piss and stare at your piss reflection so you remember just exactly who you are?’

Sean’s reputation as useless trash had expanded across all of the Great Central Land. Having to rely solely on his wife to live for five whole years, he was known as the disgrace to all men by all men of the Great Central Land.

Every inch of George’s body felt extremely uncomfortable now. He initially thought the representatives of the Langstrom family from the Great Eastern Land would be a capable youth. He did not expect it turned out to be the useless trash of a disgrace, Sean.

“What is the meaning of this, Master Quarles?” Sean raised his brows.

George pridefully said, “My meaning is pretty self-spoken. You can leave now. If you don’t, I’ll have security toss you out.”

He seemed very arrogant. It was as if he was looking at a lesser being. He presumed that everything Sean said earlier were nothing more than baseless exclamations.

His son, Luis, was quite close with Houston from the Thompson family. Just an hour ago, he was told that the son-in-law of the Thompson family had some pretty dumb luck getting to know Moses Langston.

It seemed such news was true.

“Are you really going to disrespect the Langston family of the Great Eastern Land, Master Quarles?” Sean’s expression gradually dimmed.

He did not wish to stir up a storm over this incident. If George was still going to disrespect Sean, he would be forced to use another way to strike fear in his heart.

George scoffed coldly as he spoke, glaring at Sean, “Sean, right? You actually think that you’re some significant person? You’re nothing more than a shameless toy! As powerful as the Langstons are in the Great Eastern Land, I refuse to believe they’d give the Quarles a problem just for your sake.”

George had absolutely no respect for Sean since he refused to believe Sean would be that important to the Langston family.

Not to mention, the Quarles family was based in the Great Central Land. They had very little interaction with the Great Eastern Land anyway. What did it matter if they crossed the Langstons?

In all honesty, if it was not for the Langston family’s reputation, such insignificant trash like Sean would even be unworthy of carrying his shoes.

Sean glared at the arrogant George with an extremely bitter look on his face. “I’ll give you ten seconds to apologize to me and give me your full cooperation. Or else, don’t blame me for not showing the Quarles family any mercy.”

“Really now? I’ll give you ten seconds as well to apologize for your insolence, or else I’ll make your life extremely miserable!” George was fuming as well.

Sean was nothing more than an insignificant ruffian in his eyes. He had a death wish to even dare threaten George.

“Ten!” Sean exclaimed.

Initially, he wanted to resolve this matter peacefully. However, he did not expect George to be so disrespectful.

‘If that’s the case, I’ll make the Quarles family quake with fear!’ Sean thought to himself.

George immediately helped Sean continue his countdown. “Nine!”

At this moment, Sean was nothing more than a mindless fool to George. He refused to believe Sean would be able to cause too much of a huge ripple.

“Eight!” Sean continued.

“Seven!” George had a playful look on his face.

Sean stared at George as he spoke in a calm tone. “It seems that we are at an impasse?”

“If I were you, I’d die from embarrassment!” George spoke in a casual tone.

Sean knew it would yield no result trying to reason with George, so he immediately made a phone call, “Mr. Hadley, bankrupt the Quarles family as fast as you possibly can!”

“Yes, Young Master!” said a respectful voice over the call.

Mr. Hadley controlled all of the resources in the Peerless Dragon. A single phone call could cause extremely horrible economic turmoil for the entire world.

Upon hearing Sean’s bold exclamation, George barked in disdain, “Pretentious brat! Security, drag this fool from my office and beat him to a pulp!”

He crossed both arms in front of him, staring at what seemed to be a joke to him. It seemed like the guards to beat Sean up so badly, none of his parents would be able to recognize him.

“Thud!”

Before the security personnel arrived, a middle-aged man rushed into George’s office.

The man happened to be the general manager of Quarles Group. George glared at the man and furiously barked, “What are you panicking for?”

“Chairman, it’s really bad. At least ten of the world’s wealthiest people are messing up the global stock market and our company stocks are freefalling. Our company has lost at least ten to twenty billion bucks!” The middle-aged man frantically exclaimed, his expression pale.

“Crash!!”

The instant George heard that, he was stunned. He felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

The Protégé   Chapter 31

With precise instructions and professional skills, Richard knew right away that Sean's medical knowledge was far greater than his.Three-needled resuscitation technique? Everyone held their breath as they heard it.According to legend, when a patient was really ill, just three needles in three areas of the body that coincided with the patient's sickness could stabilize the patient and save them. Unfortunately, this technique was not passed down to the younger generations. Many tried to recreate it, but it has been fruitless. With so many acupuncture points on the body, no one could guarantee the three specific acupuncture points that could save a patient's life.Zac was petrified. 'Three-needled resuscitation technique? I thought this technique didn’t exist anymore? How could that Thompson scumbag know about it?'At the same time, the crowd looked at Sean in a different way. One man stood up, "Mr. Young, please forgive what we did earlier. We’re so embarrassed!""The person who’s

The Protégé   Chapter 30

"Quick! Grab that Thompson scumbag!" The crowd was in chaos, as if Sean had incurred their wrath. A group of people rushed in and pinned Sean's head against the floor. They were completely ready to throw him out of the operating theater.The genius doctor, Richard did not manage to get further instructions as he was inserting the second acupuncture needle, the commotion caused him to panic. The alarm went off, ringing louder and louder. Old Master Greg was in mortal danger."This is ridiculous!" Richard turned around and saw the group of fierce people pinning the young man down. The one who gave the order was his own student, Zac Walter, and that made him even more furious."Mas…master!" Zac trembled with fear, sensing Richard’s rage. The crowd piling on top of Sean was afraid too; they did not want to offend the genius doctor Richard, since no one could guarantee if they would be forever healthy.Richard with his pale, old face looked at Sean with glittering eyes, "What's next?

The Protégé   Chapter 29

The crowd started smirking. The crowd treated Sean as a joker, seeking attention. Zac sneered as well. What a tw*t! Cardiac diseases were life-threatening. That was common sense."Young man, if you still won't leave, I’ll have to get the security to throw you out!" Zac had lost his patience."What happened?" In that moment, a big, middle-aged man with wise eyes entered the scene. He let out a very strong aura. He was Michael Greg, the head of the Greg family, one of the four Great families of the Great Central Land.Michael rushed for the hospital once he heard the news that his father had a heart attack. Upon arriving, he witnessed Zac and Sean’s debate. Zac identified the man who arrived at the scene and smiled. "Mr. Greg, actually…"Zac narrated the entire story, but all the while, exaggerated it. After hearing the story, Michael looked furious. He looked at Sean from head to toe and said, "You can treat my father?""Yes!" Sean nodded.The crowd sneered at Sean in their hearts

The Protégé   Chapter 28

The next day, Sean arrived at a nearby park as usual."Young’s arrived!" Greeted two elders who were playing a game of chess when they saw Sean arrive.Sean smiled. "Mr. Greg, Mr. White." As Sean greeted the two elders, he took a seat by their side and watched them play chess. The two elders were playing a game of Go. For the past five years, almost everyday, these two elders would be present for a few games of Go, except when there was bad weather. As time passed, Sean and the two elders became friends, despite not having much conversation.A true gentleman never interrupted whenever a game of Go was going on. Sean observed the Go battle from the side for about two hours. Sean excused himself when the third round had ended. As Sean left, the elder in the white robe smiled. "Mr. Greg, what do you think of that young man?""He’s indeed an educated young man. He does not cross lines and has very good behavior."The other elder in the red robe continued softly, "Say, how did he end

The Protégé   Chapter 27

"Alright, I understand!" Sean bitterly smiled as he scratched his nose. Even now, Maisie still held onto the idea that everything that Sean planned was with Moses Langston helping behind the scenes. In Maisie's point of view, Sean was unable to achieve any of this without Langston’s aid. There was nothing much Sean could do nor explain. Even if he were to reveal his true identity as the Supreme Leader of the world's most secret organization, Maisie would not buy it.Most importantly, Sean had not practiced the Supreme Dragon method to its highest level. Revealing his true identity would only welcome drastic consequences. After all, there were too many assassins on their way to end him and too many people from the organization eyeing for his position, let alone the numerous enemies the organization had accrued since its inception. Once those people knew where he was hiding out, they would be sure to use any underhanded method to get rid of him. If his identity was revealed, not only wo

The Protégé   Chapter 26

Sean's statement struck the crowd like a heavy hammer. Everyone present looked disgusted, but Sean was the only one enjoying that moment. The shape of his mouth changed as coldly smiled, glaring at the disgusted faces of the crowd.The Thompsons all felt extremely ashamed of their actions toward Sean the days before the party. They all thought that Sean was just a scumbag and would be one till the end of their days. Never had they thought that Sean would present a surprise like this so publicly. Since the beginning of the party, it only took merely 10 minutes for the faces of the Thompsons to change from excited, anticipation to what the surprise Sean might have, to being stunned, then ashamed.Since things had come to this, the Thompsons felt way too ashamed to be there. Everyone gradually made their way to the exit, unhappy with the way things turned out. Maisie, on the other hand, was in pure bliss when the crowd dismissed themselves from her party.Five years. For five whole yea

The Protégé   Chapter 23

Sean's speech was so soothing, yet it struck Maisie’s heart like a bolt of lightning. She was on the brink of crying, so touched by Sean’s actions. Everything that was happening in front of her was all like a dream come true, and that only made it harder for Maisie to accept that it was actually hap

The Protégé   Chapter 22

"Sean Young? How could Sean be the mogul?" Jasmine shouted like a crazy lady. Houston was also stunned as well; he too, obviously, did not expect the mogul that had been the center of massive news in the Great Central Land to be Sean Young."How could it be Sean?" The Thompson family was in uproar,

The Protégé   Chapter 20

The Thompsons. Including Houston and Jasmine, were stunned. To them, Hermes was a corporation with over hundred years of history. It was a well-known brand. Since the beginning of Hermes, no one had ever had the privilege of enjoying indefinite free merchandise. If not for the working license that C

The Protégé   Chapter 25

"Maisie, my dear, do you like it?" Sean asked with a peaceable smile.Maisie was so touched that her face was full of tears. She looked into Sean’s eyes like an overjoyed little girl, answering, "Thank you so much, Sean. Thank you for the surprises you’ve given me.""You’re most welcome, my deares
