In the end…
The little fool had never admitted it even once.
You put the evidence in his face, but the little fool would not admit it.
When he was forced into a corner, he would lie through his teeth, or say that he had a twin brother and that he did it. Anyway, it had nothing to do with him.
Or perhaps, he was suffering from hysteria and could not remember anything!
In the six provinces of southern Hansworth, the name Luke Yates was notorious. He had opened a brothel, a gambling den, a black market, and so on. In the end, he had openly wiped out everyone.
He had the money and the people!
This method was commonly known as fishing!
The martial artists from the southern Hansworth region were tortured because of him.
The martial artists gritted their teeth at the mention of Luke Yates, the commander of southern Hansworth. They wished they could dig his ancestors out of their graves and eat them.
In the room of the bright hall.
Xana Thomas smiled, revealing her scallop teeth. She was a little curious,
“Eldest Young Master Braydon, is this little brother’s surname Mandor?”
“You recognized him?” Braydon Neal asked them to sit down and drink some water.
The two of them were sweating. How could they not be thirsty?
Xana waved her phone with her fair hands. A web page was displayed on the screen, and there was a detailed introduction of Joshua Mandor on it.
Western army, Joshua Mandor!
He was already one of the hundred generals of the military.
A Qilin talent!
Becoming a king at the age of eighteen had shocked many people back then.
Xana swiped her fingers across her phone, refreshing the page continuously. She sipped her tea and said in surprise, “He’s the same age as you. The internet is saying that he’s the young master of the Mandor family in the west. What does that mean?”
“The information on the Internet is either one-sided or fake. Don’t believe it!”
Braydon put down his teacup.
Heather Sage was also curious and wanted to ask.
In a flash, Braydon had already left the bright hall.
His speed was extremely fast. In the eyes of ordinary girls, he was like a ghost.
“Stinky Braydon, he actually ran away. It’s fine if you don’t want to say it. It’s not like you can’t find it on the Internet!” Heather muttered softly.
Little did she know that the information about Joshua was the information that the western army wanted the outside world to know.
Secrets that he did not want the outside world to know, even if they searched the entire internet, they would not be able to find them.
Just like how Joshua was conferred the title of king at the age of 18, this news involved martial artists.
They could not find anything at all!
Two years ago, Joshua had taken over the western army.
This news was also not available on the Internet!
On the other hand, the Mandor family in the west was backed by a powerful family. The netizens talked with great relish about the Mandor family’s business that involved all kinds of people.
Actually, every family was the same!
Within the three provinces of the Central Plains, there were five powerful families. The industries hidden in the dark and the wealth accumulated were unimaginable to outsiders.
The Flitwick family was one of the five.
Within the powerful families, there were kings who were like guardians.
Ordinary people would not know about these things even if they died of old age!
Sammy Dudley returned and whispered, “Commander, he has left Preston and is rushing to Ludwig.”
The person Sammy was referring to was naturally Joshua!
Braydon raised his left hand, indicating that he already knew. Sammy tactfully retreated.
In the small courtyard of the villa, Old Man Zito and Ernest Lanford were playing chess in a pavilion. Sammy was guiding Logan Hall’s cultivation, and he was also bringing along two burdens.
They were Heather and Xana, who were clamoring to practice martial arts.
Harold Sage arrived with a dark face and dragged his sister away, saying that she had been using Braydon’s name to come to the Neal family to eat and drink. She had completely forgotten about what Old Lady Sage had instructed her to
Old Lady Sage had already said that she wanted Heather to participate in the Sage Corporation’s matters and share some of her brother’s work.
In the end, this girl was hiding in the Neal family’s place and having fun.
Once or twice was still fine, but in the end, she used Braydon as an excuse every day and said that she had something to do in the Neal family’s place. Harold was not stupid. He went straight to the door and dragged her back.
After Braydon heard this, he was also amused.
Born in a wealthy family, there were advantages that ordinary people envied, but there were also worries that ordinary people could not understand.
Girls from wealthy families rarely married into love.
The same went for boys!
Marriage was still based on the ancient rules. It was arranged by the parents and the family!
Girls were not allowed to marry commoners, and boys were not allowed to marry the daughters of farmers.
Just like Braydon’s parents, Louis Neal was the eldest son of the second generation of the Neal family. His mother, Laura Quinn, was also the eldest daughter of the Quinn family, one of the seven great families.
Liam Neal’s wife, Qahira Sage, was also a member of the Sage family.
The seven great families of Preston were all engaged in marriage, strengthening the cooperation between the two sides.
And the girl was the victim of the cooperation.
It was simply a fool’s dream for a girl from a wealthy family to marry into love.
Therefore, it was obvious to everyone how much Heather hated the betrothal with Braydon.
The girls from the wealthy families hated this kind of arranged marriage, but there was nothing they could do.
Being born in such a family, they had no choice.
Braydon sat alone in the living room. A huge map of the territory hung on the wall.
He was in a daze, and Heather’s innocent appearance appeared in his mind for some reason.
Even when Liam arrived, Braydon did not notice.
“Braydon… Braydon?”
Liam called out a few times, somewhat surprised. What was his nephew thinking, so lost in his thoughts!
Braydon came back to his senses and instantly regained his composure. He chuckled and said, “Fourth Uncle, you’re here.”
“What are you thinking about? I called you twice, and you didn’t come back to your senses.” Liam teased.
Braydon’s gaze was calm and unperturbed.
No one could see through Braydon’s thoughts.
Liam smiled brightly. “Alright, Fourth Uncle has been through it before. It’s human nature for a man and a woman to be in love!”
“Fourth Uncle, that’s not it. I was just thinking about the matter of the northern army. The capital’s Central Bureau has mobilized 300,000 elite cavalries from the western army to shift to Ludwig. They can stop our northern army from moving south at any time.”
Braydon was a little fox.
He changed the topic and concealed his thoughts.
“The western army at the western border?” Liam was shocked.
“It’s them, but don’t worry about it. You came to look for me because of something, right?” Braydon brought the topic back as he said softly.
Liam nodded. “Our Neal Corporation has been successfully listed. It has a market value of 100 billion. You can already see it on the A share market.” A tablet computer was handed over.
The screen was turned on, and the Neal Corporation’s stock page was clearly displayed.
“The market value is 100 billion. It’s a little low!” Braydon glanced at the stock price. It had risen for three days since it went public.
A company with a market value of 100 billion.
In the entire Preston, there were only a handful of them.
If one were to look into it in detail, the Neal Corporation was the second company in the history of Preston to have a market value of more than 100 billion.
However, the huge potential of the Neal Corporation was far underestimated by the market.
Liam explained, “Even though we have PG Group’s funds in the trillions, the Neal Corporation’s partnership with Xandra Milton to jointly develop various projects in the new district of Preston can’t be counted as our corporation’s own funds..”
