Chapter 89
89 The Tiger’s Might of a Seven-Foot Body
They could be brothers in private, but the rules of superiority and inferiority in the northern army could not be violated. No one could disobey the orders given by Braydon Neal.
“Danny, what should we do if the people of the north disobey the order?” Braydon asked indifferently.
“The Northern King’s order has been issued. Those who disobey will be killed without mercy!”
After Danny Que had finished speaking, there were still some things he did not say.
Those who disobeyed the order not only had to die, but they would also be kicked out of the north and have their citizenship revoked. Even if they died, they would be expelled. This was what Danny and the others could not accept the most.
As the Wargods of the north, Danny and the others had experienced brutal wars. Their hands were stained with the blood of their enemies, and they had long seen through life and death. Death in battle was what they wanted to return to.
However, they could not tolerate being kicked out of the northern army.
If that was the case, they would rather die!
“Seal Preston with my Northern King token. Find Heather and bring her back!” Braydon said.
“Understood!” Danny could only obey.
After he left, only Zayn Ziegler was left.
“If Heather dies in the Central Plains, I’ll bathe the capital in blood!” Braydon smiled.
“The Central Plains understands!”
Zayn’s face was pale. He could feel the murderous intent from Braydon’s faint smile.
The Northern King had never spoken empty words!
The Northern King sword should have been unsheathed when Heather Sage was in trouble. However, Braydon’s body was too deeply poisoned. If he dared to fight with someone, it would speed up his blood flow and poison his heart. That would be courting death!
Zayn turned around and left, wiping the cold sweat on his face. He then mobilized all the members of the Central Hansworth main team and rushed to Preston.
He clearly knew the meaning of Braydon’s words.
If Heather Sage died, the Northern King sword would massacre the entire Preston City.
Who said that Braydon did not have Heather in his heart? It was just that Braydon’s thirteen years of life in the northern territory was beyond the imagination of his peers.
Not to mention that Braydon was responsible for the safety of the eight-thousand-mile border of the north, leading millions of comrades to guard the north.
This had forged Braydon’s iron-like bones and a strong heart that was not afraid of honor or disgrace.
In layman’s terms, no one could tell Braydon’s usual emotions from his face.
Harold Sage’s gaze was complicated. He had never thought that his sister was so important to Braydon.
Danny and Zayn had been sent away, leaving only Braydon in the Neal family’s manor.
The key was that Braydon’s body was covered with silver needles, and his left arm was black. It was obvious that he had been deeply poisoned. If someone was watching him in the dark, they would definitely find that Braydon was extremely weak at this time.
This was the best chance to eliminate Braydon!
Braydon stood with his hands behind his back. A gust of wind blew past, and his gold Qilin robe fluttered. The wind messed up the messy hair on his forehead, revealing a pair of slanted eyes that were as calm as still water.
“Harold, let’s go back to my room!” Braydon’s thin lips moved slightly.
“You’re weaker than me, so I’ll help you into the house first,” Harold said with concern.
“Who said I’m weaker than you?” Braydon turned around and smiled brightly.
This smile made Harold’s hair stand on end. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the eldest son of the third generation of the Neal family was a little too demonic and terrifying.
Could it be that all of this was an act?
However, Harold saw that Braydon was poisoned and spat out black blood. This could not be faked.
Harold was not a fool. He knew that he was just an ordinary person. He should just listen to Braydon’s arrangements and not care too much, or else he would only cause more trouble.
It was just like how Harold had brought Heather home earlier. If he had not made a mistake, the situation would not have turned out this way.
Harold quickly returned to the manor.
“Pfft!” Braydon stood at the door and pressed his hand on the stone lion. He spat out a mouthful of blood, which was extremely dark. When it fell on the grass in the garden, the green grass corroded, and white poisonous smoke rose.
Braydon wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked down at the skin on his chest. A dark line had spread to his heart.
He laughed at himself. “The poison of seven insects and seven herbs is really overbearing. The poison is directly targeting the heart’s meridian!”
Just as he had finished speaking.
From all directions of the Neal family’s manor, black shadows flashed past, quickly approaching the manor.
The speed of each black figure was over twenty meters per second!
The first condition to become a warlord level fighter was to have a speed of over twenty meters per second.
This speed meant that the hundreds of figures that had appeared in the Neal family manor were at least warrior-level!
A hundred warlords barging into the Neal family was normally impossible.
Would a warrior-level person like Silas Queen, who was the world’s richest man, care about a small Neal family?
These people were here for Braydon!
The corners of Braydon’s lips curled up slightly, forming a trace of an evil smile. The person he had been waiting for had finally appeared!
Over a hundred figures were approaching, accompanied by a young man with ear studs. He quietly appeared on the roof of the bright hall with a beautiful girl in his hand.
“Your Highness!” He bowed to show his respect. “Kardo greets the Northern King!”
The hundred black-clothed martial artists who had appeared were dressed in casual clothes and had black scarves on their faces. Without exception, they all bowed and said solemnly, “The sixth team of the Black Sword Association’s shadow department pays their respects to Your Highness, the Northern King!”
Even though they were enemies, Kardo and the others believed in the strong. They also knew that the young man in white was the strongest man in the northern territory.
The martial artists in their country regarded Braydon as the devil Lord!
This was treating him as the most terrifying person.
To be treated courteously by the enemy, it showed how terrifying Braydon was in the northern territory.
Braydon said softly, “The Black Sword Association’s intelligence department is good at infiltration and assassination. But it’s been hard on you. Let Heather go. It’s normal for us to fight each other. Don’t involve innocent people!”
“Your Highness, the Northern King’s might is still here. I don’t dare to let her go!”
Kardo was not joking. He was telling the truth.
He had never thought that he would be able to successfully poison him today. He had only seized the opportunity to make a move. Whether he succeeded or not was up to fate.
If they were confident, the Black Sword Association would not send the small team of the shadow department, much less these warrior-level people.
They would probably send out a king-level figure to take Braydon’s life.
More importantly, the poison of the seven insects and seven herbs was extremely terrifying. A drop of it could kill a thousand ordinary people.
But the result?
Braydon had been holding on until now!
This was already enough to make people speechless. As expected of the Northern King, he could even resist this kind of poison.
“You think I’m negotiating with you?” Braydon’s eyes turned cold.
He glanced and made Kardo shudder.
“The Northern King token in my hand has a chance to start a country war once in my life,” Braydon said softly. “Of the eight countries in the north, who do you think I should use it on?”
His words made all the warriors’ faces change.
This sentence was not fake!
The Northern King’s token indeed had this qualification.
However, he only had one chance. As long as he had not used it, he would be able to intimidate the eight nations forever.
Once it was used, it would lose its deterrent power.
However, Kardo’s face was now stiff. “The importance of this girl to the Northern King is beyond my expectations. However, even though the poison has attacked your heart, you still have the power of a tiger. We can let her go, but please remove the silver needles in your body!”
Even at this point, Kardo was still afraid!
To be honest, who would not be afraid of the overlord of the north?
They had infiltrated the city and had no intention of returning alive.
Even though Braydon’s heart had been poisoned, Kardo was still afraid of this Northern King.
As a seven-foot bold man who stood in the world, it was enough for him to be famous for being able to scare his enemies like this even when the tiger was about to fall.
“Braydon, don’t do this!” Heather’s eyes were red.
