Jerry Sean's words didn't catch me off guard.
I smiled and said, "No point being nice to someone that rude and unreasonable."
That's what I said out loud, but my thoughts ran deeper.
Being an orphan meant I didn't have many important people in my life, but Jerry Sean was definitely one of them.
The thought of Jerry Sean—who once ruled the world and stood at its peak—getting insulted by some thug made my blood boil.
"Mr. Sean," I said, turning to face him suddenly.
"Hmm?" Jerry Sean's eyebrow went up slightly.
I grinned. "One day, you'll go back to Capital City and take back your spot as the Sean Family Master."
Jerry Sean laughed hard at that. "I hope so."
But then his face got serious. "With what you've got right now, overthrowing those aristocratic families in Capital City is pretty much impossible."
"Overthrowing the noble families?" I let out a bitter laugh and shook my head.
