Chapter 5

5 The Northern King’s Grace

Zayn Ziegler stepped back, still angry.

In his eyes, Braydon Neal’s status was very high. Now that he had returned to his hometown, he was being humiliated by the Sage family.

If Carl Mason, the ferocious Tiger of Northern Hansworth, was here, he would definitely punish these Sage family juniors.

Now that old lady Sage was angry, Harold Sage and the other juniors did not dare to mention kicking Braydon out again.

“Braydon, from now on, you’ll be living with the Sage family. Heather’s Villa has three floors. The first floor is the living room, the second floor is where you two will stay, and the third floor is the storeroom,” Old lady Sage said kindly.

“Grandma!” Heather Sage’s face was flushed red, and her young girl’s shyness made her stomp her feet.

The two of them had only met when they were children. She and Braydon had not contacted each other for 13 years.

Now that they were all grown up and did not know each other well, how could they live together as soon as they met?

“Grandma, I suggest you reconsider this marriage!” Harold furrowed his brows.

The resistance of the Sage family’s younger generation made Heather reveal a faint smile. Wanting her to accept a strange man and even wanting him to become her husband? She was not willing to do that!

“Grandma,” Braydon said with a smile, “Since Heather isn’t willing, let’s forget about the marriage. I can treat her as my sister!” f𝔯𝗲e𝒘𝙚𝚋𝐧oѵe𝗹. 𝒄𝗼m

“Braydon!” Old lady Sage was shocked.

“That would be good!” Heather said happily.

“It’s not good for Heather’s reputation if the man breaks off the engagement. I’m afraid she won’t be able to lift her head up in Preston in the future. The Sage family will write the marriage annulment document tomorrow, and I’ll sign it!” Braydon said lovingly.

“At least you’re tactful enough!” Harold sneered.

“If that’s the case, won’t you be unable to lift your head in Preston?” Heather was a little embarrassed.

“It’s fine!” Braydon had said that he would protect her for the rest of her life, and a promise meant a lifetime!

But Zayn could not take it anymore.

“The woman breaking off the engagement?” He was sullen. “It’s not just the man who can’t lift his head! What a great family the Sage family is. What a great woman to break off the engagement. You can try. If you dare to break off the engagement, someone will dare to raze your Sage family to the ground tonight!”

Zayn got angry in the end.

These people in front of him were a little too much!

Braydon was located in the North and was regarded as a faith by the millions of soldiers in the North.

Insulting Braydon was equivalent to insulting the one million black-armored elites of the northern territory and insulting the five great commanders!

This humiliation was bound to be washed in blood.

If the young lady of the Sage family dared to break off the engagement, the commander of Southern Hansworth, Gordon Lowe, nicknamed Spirit Sword, would dare to attack the Sage family at night!

Spirit Sword Gordon Lowe was a genius swordsman of the current generation. He was the same age as Braydon and had become famous at a young age. He was born with a cold personality and was once by Braydon’s side. He was known as the most terrifying imperial guard by the Northern King’s side!

If Gordon knew that Braydon was being humiliated here, even if Zayn and Carl joined hands, they would not be able to stop him!

Zayn’s words angered the younger generation of the Sage family.

Most young people were hot-blooded and full of vigor.

Harold shouted coldly, “Who do you think you are? Do you know what this place is? Who gave you the guts to say that you want to exterminate the Sage family?”

“Impudent!” Old lady Sage scolded angrily.

Zayn’s eyes were cold. “Who am I? Central Hansworth’s commander, Zayn Ziegler. Am I enough to destroy your Sage family?”

“Carl Mason, the commander of Northern Hansworth. Am I enough to exterminate your Sage family?”

At the entrance of the Sage family’s place, a young man in black clothes appeared. It was Carl, who was walking over with a thousand men behind him. They were all wearing black scarves and black gold swords!

In modern society, in the era of firearms, was it a disadvantage to use cold weapons?

Not necessarily!

For martial artists, firearms might be intimidating, but within a ten-meter distance, one would not even have the time to aim!

One could not underestimate the members of the special operations team. They were all elites and had existed for a long time.

All the things they handled were unnatural and supernatural events.

While the Sage family was still in a daze, a cold and emotionless voice came from the south, “Commander of Southern Hansworth, Gordon Lowe. Am I enough to destroy your Sage family?”

A green-robed Gordon Lowe with a scabbard in his hands strolled over from the horizon.

An indifferent male voice came from the west, “Commander of Western Hansworth, Bryan Goldman. Am I enough to destroy your Sage family?”

The man who was seven feet tall had a calm smile on his handsome face. His black cape fluttered in the wind as he came from the west.

The Marquis of Western Hansworth, Bryan Goldman, was a very evil fellow with a mind close to that of a demon!

At this moment, four of the five great commanders had arrived!

Braydon knew the reason why the commander of Eastern Hansworth was not here. However, Carl was still here. He had been secretly leading people in the dark, which was out of Braydon’s expectation.

Harold and the others were all stunned.

While they were still in shock, Spirit Sword Gordon Lowe cupped his fists and said, “Gordon Lowe welcomes the return of the Northern King!”

“Bryan Goldman welcomes the return of the Northern King!” The Marquis of Western Hansworth, Bryan Goldman, bowed and cupped his hands.

Carl grinned and did not mention why he had not left.

They were all close to Braydon, and they knew each other very well.

Only Harold and the others felt their scalps go numb. They did not understand what Braydon had experienced during the thirteen years he had left the capital!

The younger generation like Harold would never be able to come into contact with the special operations team.

Only the older generation like old lady Sage knew how terrifying the four great commanders who had arrived today were!

...

“Your Sage family is very powerful, and the seven great families in Preston are very powerful?” Carl said softly.

“Today, the four of us will destroy your Sage family. Is that enough?”

His question intimidated everyone in the Sage family into silence.

If any of them sneezed, it would be enough to cause an earthquake in Preston.

Four of the five great commanders had arrived and were now in the Sage family’s residence. Once the news spread, who knew how many people would come over to curry favor.

“Who are you?” Harold asked in a low voice.

“My name is Gordon Lowe. One word from me and I can seal Preston city for ten years. What do you think?” Gordon looked over.

Harold’s eyes were filled with horror. He realized that he had either provoked a shocking big shot or a lunatic today.

With just one sentence, he could seal off Preston for 10 years. He was not targeting the Sage family alone, but the entire city of Preston of five million people!

Harold instinctively thought that they were a group of lunatics for daring to say such things.

“Who doesn’t know how to talk big!” The greasy-haired young man was Chris Sage. He was the one who recognized Braydon at first sight.

...

Braydon remembered that Chris was a snot baby when he was a child. He was sloppy, and once he was pushed into the latrine pit. He kept burping after being fished out by the adults.

At that time, Braydon was the eldest son of the Neal family!

In terms of status, after birth, it meant that there were hundreds of millions of assets waiting to be inherited.

Later, the Neal family had an internal struggle, and Braydon’s bloodline had suffered a crushing defeat. They were exterminated by the current three heads of the Neal family. His mother had taken the seven-year-old Braydon and escaped the Neal family that night.

However, they were intercepted on the road. On the surface, it looked like a car accident, but people with discerning eyes could see that this was the intention of the three heads of the Sage family to kill them.

It was old lady Sage who came forward and protected the seven-year-old Braydon, which led to the deterioration of the relationship between the Sage family and the Neals, which laid the bitter fruit for the Sage family’s decline today.

Chris’ words made Harold calm down.

At the very least, he knew that in Preston city, even if the seven great families joined forces, no one would have the guts to say that they would lock down Preston for ten years.

Old lady Sage sighed to herself. She did not expect that none of the Sage family’s generation would be promising.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Gordon and the others were all shocking figures that they could not afford to offend.

“Grandma, don’t worry!” Braydon smiled.

“With you around, I’m naturally not worried. I’m just a little sad. Back then, the Sage family was second to none in Preston. It’s a pity that the men of the Sage family are so disappointing that they can’t even hold on to the family business. Most of them are just average. When I die, I’ll be letting your Grandpa Sage down!”

Old lady Sage looked at Harold and the others with a look of utter disappointment.
