Chapter 47
47 He Has a Manor
“What?!”
Dawson’s hands trembled.
John was even more horrified. He had originally guessed that Braydon was a participant. Otherwise, why would Zachariah mention this matter?
Even so, for a young man of his age, it was already a great honor and proof of his ability.
However, no one dared to guess that this academic journal was written by Braydon.
He was so young, so where did he get such heaven-defying knowledge?!
Dawson was furious, “That’s impossible! Why would Mr. Yorker would steal the work of others?!”
“What I’ve given out is not considered stealing!” Braydon said calmly.
Dawson asked aggresively, “Then well me what was said in the article?”
“Anti-gravity industrialization!” Braydon replied as he glanced at him.
John said decisively, “This article has been published for three years so it’s not surprising that you know the name.”
“Are you questioning me?”
Braydon put his hands behind his back with a cold look in his eyes.
The Northern King was not someone that everyone could just question. At the very least, this group of old men in front of him did not have the right to do so!
Zachariah took out his cell phone and before he made a call, he said, “What are you arguing about? Let my teacher tell you!”
After the call was made, it took a while for someone to answer the call.
“Zachariah!” The old voice sounded.
“Teacher, I hope I am not disturbing you, am I?” Zachariah said politely.
The old voice laughed. “I’m not that precious so just tell me what do you need me for?”
“Do you still remember the article on anti-gravity three years ago? ” Sun Zheng asked in a low voice.
“This is not something you should be asking about!” Mr. Yorker’s voice was solemn.
“No, Mr. Braydon is right beside me. He promised to be the dean of Preston University but it’s a little difficult to fill out his resume!” Zachariah quickly stated his purpose.
“He went to your university?” Mr. Yorker was very surprised.
“Yes!” Zachariah replied.
As a result, Mr. Yorker pondered for a moment and replied, “The position as a dean is a little too lowly and is not worthy of him. Zachariah, why don’t you retire and give up the position as princiapl? Braydon’s ability is more than enough to be the principal of Preston University!”
Zachariah was speechless.
Dawson and the other professors were all dumbfounded.
Everyone already knew the answer without Zachariah asking. Braydon was the one who wrote this academic article.
It was terrifying at such a young age!
Zachariah’s face turned green. If he had known, he wouldn’t have called.
He was so embarrassed now that he wanted to die.
Braydon held Heather’s cold and soft hand, turned around and left, as he left a sentence behind, “I have limited time so I won’t chat with you guys anymore!”
“Mr. Braydon, wait, I have this too!”
Dawson came back to his senses and took out a transparent hexagonal stone from his pocket.
Another spiritual stone!
John and the others came back to their senses and each took out a spiritual stone.
Braydon was stunned. In modern society, spiritualual resources were extremely scarce and almost extinct, but how could each of these old men possess a spiritual stone of their own?
They were teaming up to tempt him!
Dawson hurriedly said, “I have five or six more pieces here. Ten years ago, Professor Colby brought people to Preston Mountain for an investigation. He picked them up from the mountain and thought they were diamonds. As a result, when he came back and tested them, the composition so he gave each of us a few pieces!”
“Yes, yes, I also have some here!” John stuffed them into Braydon’s hand enthusiastically.
This group of old men were now overly enthusiastic compared to the contempt they had in the beginning.
They had no idea what a spiritual stone was.
However, the stones whose composition could not be tested were useless in their hands. They might as well give it to Braydon.
“Where did you find it on Preston Mountain?” Braydon asked.
“You’ll have to ask Professor Colby!” Dawson said.
“Where is Professor Colby?”
“In the soil…” Dawson felt a little guilty.
The corners of Braydon’s mouth twitched and his eyelids fluttered slightly. He felt that the old man in front of him was playing tricks on him.
After asking for a long time, if the person was in the soil, didn’t that mean that he was already dead?!
The line of death was broken!
It was a spiritual stone mine. Even Braydon could not turn a blind eye to it.
Zachariah came over with the contract and said, “Mr. Braydon, we’ve agreed on this. Three spiritual stones a month. Let’s sign the contract!”
“I have too many classes!” Braydon said as he glanced at it.
“A hundred classes a week, that’s not a lot, right?” Zachariah felt a little guilty.
Braydon took a good look at the old man. The old man dared to scheme against him. Did he really think that he did not understand the outside world?
The northern army’s intelligence network was spread all over the world.
Although Braydon grew up in the Northern Territory and seemed to be isolated from the outside world, all kinds of information from the outside world would be transmitted to Braydon’s residence every day.
Braydon took up his pen and crossed out two zeros behind the number 100, making it one class a week.
Zachariah’s expression turned ugly. He had no right to discuss this matter.
A salary of twenty-five thousand dollars a month and allocated housing.
“I’ll get someone arrange for Mr. Braydon’s residence later!” Dawson tried to show his hospitality.
“You don’t need to trouble yourself. I have a place to stay in Preston City!” Braydon smiled.
“I didn’t expect Mr. Braydon to be so rich at such a young age. The housing prices in Preston City aren’t low. You actually have your own house. That’s impressive!” John was very obedient.
Braydon smiled when he heard this.
Heather rolled her eyes. “His residence is not a house, it’s a manor!”
“What?!” John’s eyes widened in shock.
A manor, this was a little too terrifying.
Heather explained helplessly, “He’s the eldest son of the Neal family, which is the head of the seven noble families in Preston City. Neal Group is his in the future!”
Dawson and the others suddenly came to a realization.
As a resident of Preston City, basically everyone knew the seven noble families in the city and those were the real aristocrats.
Zachariah asked tentatviely, “Mr. Braydon, as a dean-level tutor, you’re qualified to be a professor. I will handle this matter myself.”
“Are you kidding me? It’s not difficult for Mr. Braydon to be rated as an academicist simply based on the anti-gravity academic article alone!” Dawson said very excitedly.
Zachariah took a deep look at him. He knew very well that the graduates of northern military school were not intersetd in scientific research but in the army!
The northern army was a huge organization that could not be compared to any ordinary organization.
Moreover, had already been appointed as the successor of the northern army when he was twelve years old.
The horror of his identity was beyond the imagination of ordinary people!
John said tentatively, “Mr. Braydon, a dean-level tutor usually chooses to guide students and be in charge of a big scientific research project. What do you think?”
“You have to come to our side. Mr. Braydon, let me tell you, the main direction of our research is the industrial anti-gravity project. Once it’s successful, there will be a blank market in the world and there will be no shortage of fame and fortune!”
Dawson was very excited,and he was eager for Braydon to join his research lab.
“We’ll talk about this later. I want to know more about this kind of stone!” Braydon smiled slightly.
As for the spiritual stone mine, Braydon was determined to get his hands on it.
John reminiscedm saying, “Back then, Professor Colby and Professor Wade went to Preston Mountain together to investigate. After bringing back these stones, they analyzed that they were not diamonds. Everyone then lost interest and didn’t ask much anymore.”
“Professor Wade passed away from lung cancer last year. I used to advise him to smoke less. Alas!”
At the mention of old man, Dawson and the others sighed softly.
However, the clue was cut off.
But Braydon asked, “How long were they up on Preston Mountain back then?”
