The Strongest War God

Chapter 37

37 Searching for Someone at Night

Whoosh!

After a slight air-piercing sound, no one could see clearly.

The black panther was biting Estelle Lockers’ neck, and it was as if it was frozen in this scene forever.

On its forehead, more than half of a green leaf as long as eight centimeters had sunk in, cutting through its brain nerves and killing it instantly.

The blood flowed down the black panther’s forehead and dripped on Estelle’s face.

This scene stunned everyone.

“Using leaves to hurt people?” the squad leader said in shock.

“War... War God level!”

The members of the Preston team around them were all stammering.

They had never heard of such a young War God level figure.

Braydon Neal turned around. Wrapped in a black cloak, he stepped into the helicopter. His thin lips moved slightly, “Mission accomplished. Steve, come with me to Lamar city. You guys go back to the Preston team!”

“Yes, Commander!” Steve Xavier then followed him.

This sentence was explosive news to everyone present.

There were only five commanders in the world!

Every one of them was an imposing figure who stood at the peak of Mount Tanish.

This young man was actually a commander.

The squad leader’s eyelids twitched. He sheathed his sword and cupped his hands in salute, not daring to show any disrespect.

The handsome young man’s face turned pale. He had never expected that the person who came was the commander!

Estelle had even brought up her grandfather, Simon Lockers. No wonder he dared to say that he did not care about him. With his status, even ten Simon Lockers would not be enough!

However, the squad leader’s fingers trembled. He lowered his head and did not dare to look at the helicopter. There was only one sign left in his mind.

Gold-gilded Qilin!

This was the flag of the northern army!

He actually wore the battle flag on his body. Was he not afraid that the millions of elites from the ten great legions of the northern army would tear him apart?

Perhaps only one person in the world could wear the gilded Qilin robe.

He must be the general of the northern army!

The team leader’s heart was filled with fear. He did not dare to speak, ask, or talk.

The commander of the northern army, the taboo of living!

Who dared to talk nonsense!

As the helicopter slowly took off, someone carrying Luca shouted, “Squad leader?”

“Ah, what’s the matter?” The squad leader woke up with a start, and his back was drenched in cold sweat.

The man asked suspiciously, “Squad leader, you’re not scared, are you? There are many wild animals in Preston Mountain. It’s not strange for a black panther to mutate. What’s strange is that a big shot like the commander actually came to a small place like ours!”

“Last night, our small team was on a mission and didn’t have time to return to the team. I heard that the five commanders gathered in Preston yesterday. It was so scary!”

The members beside him discussed in low voices on their return to the city.

“Was that the Spirit Sword Gordon Lowe or the Marquis of Western Hansworth, Bryan Goldman?” Luca asked weakly.

“This...”

The surrounding team members were all dumbfounded. They did not know either.

The squad leader was silent, then he said hoarsely, “I’m afraid he’s neither!”

“Huh? Then why did the team leader call him the commander?” Luca turned his head with difficulty.

The squad leader took a deep breath. “Perhaps he has another identity. You all saw the pattern on his black cloak, right?”

“I saw it! It’s the golden Qilin!”

The young man’s eyes widened. When he came back to his senses, he was stunned.

There was no lack of records of the northern territory in the various special operations teams. Although it was confidential information, all official members could read some of it.

For example, the northern army’s equipment and their war flag.

That was the golden Qilin!

“Cough!” Luca coughed violently. “It can’t really be that master, can it?”

“Other than him, who else has the right to have the five great commanders gather in Preston? Let’s keep this matter to ourselves. Let’s go!” The squad leader’s gaze sharpened.

“Yes, Sir!” Luca and the others replied.

Compared to the seven of them returning to Preston, it was much more difficult for Estelle Lockers.

After Estelle fainted from the shock, she cried and laughed at the same time, as if she had been scared silly. She had brought it upon herself.

The black helicopter flew straight to Lamar City Airport. They immediately gave them an emergency route and gave them priority.

This was because the symbol on the helicopter was the Northern King sword.

After the helicopter landed.

“Northern King,” Zayn Ziegler said, “Liam Neal is still alive. This is the clue!”

Braydon took the black encrypted phone. It was a video from a traffic camera at the intersection. The high-definition image allowed people to see his face clearly.

...

He was Liam Neal.

“Thank you for your hard work!” Braydon let out a breath of relief and smiled.

“Before you’re crowned, I won’t allow any accidents to happen to you!” Zayn’s eyes were filled with determination.

The group left the airport through a special passage instead of the ordinary security gate. Otherwise, even the weapons they were carrying would not be able to pass through the security check.

Zayn had already booked a room in the hotel, and he said, “We’ll be able to lock onto Liam Neal’s position before dark at the latest. There’s a great chance that he hasn’t left Lamar city, and he seems to have lived here for many years!”

This guess was not groundless. The traffic cameras used big data to compare faces, and Liam Neal had appeared in Lamar city as early as five years ago.

The older information had long been destroyed and could not be verified.

In the hotel’s presidential suite, Braydon stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the setting sun.

This was his last bit of patience!

In the No. 6 courtyard of Apricot alley in the North District of Lamar city, many small vendors ran small businesses here to supplement their family expenses.

“I’m selling candied hawthorns! Big and sweet candied hawthorns!” A man was pushing a simple wooden cart and only sold candied hawthorns in this alley all year round.

...

More than once, people had advised him to sell near Lamar University. Business would definitely be much better.

However, the candied hawthorn boss just smiled and never explained.

He looked like he was in his prime, at the age of 35, and his hair had long turned white. He lacked the shrewdness of a peddler, but it was hard to hide his scholarly air.

A middle-aged woman who sold some hardware and small electrical appliances by the roadside said in a familiar tone, “Fourth Neal, you’re out selling candied haws again!”

“To earn some extra money to support the family!” The boss of the candied hawthorns smiled humbly.

The middle-aged woman said angrily, “Don’t you think you’re strange? My son introduced you to a job out of goodwill last month, and you went for the interview. The interviewer praised you to the heavens in front of my son. Why didn’t you go?”

“Our old Neal’s health isn’t good. Aunt Zania, don’t worry about us!”

In the deepest part of the alley, a wooden door opened, and a woman walked out. She was wearing an apron and had short hair. Although there were wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, one could still vaguely tell that she must have been very beautiful when she was young.

The middle-aged woman wiped her hands and handed over a paper bag with two thousand dollars inside.

She said, “Forget it. I won’t ask too much. My old man wants me to give this to your family. Qahira, quickly take it.”

“How can we do that!” The woman, Qahira Summer, quickly pushed it back.

The middle-aged woman stuffed it into her hands, not allowing her to refuse.

Having been neighbors for more than ten years, who did not know the situation of each family? The entire alley was filled with poor people, but the poorest was indeed Fourth Neal’s family.

The family of three did not have a household register. As unregistered citizens, they could not even think about getting a proper job.

Fourth Neal was out of breath even as he walked. Even the foreman did not dare to hire him on the construction site.
