188 Five Billion in Funds
Sadie Dudley gently wiped the painting. The tenderness in her eyes was difficult to hide.
Luther Carden and White-clothed Qualls’s intuition was right.
How could the person chosen by their teacher be an ordinary girl? Moreover, he had even given her the death order.
If it had been an ordinary person, the old commander would not have needed to personally give the order to kill. With Cole Colbie and the others’ abilities, there was no need to give them any instructions on how to deal with Sadie.
However, Sadie was ordered to be killed by the old commander.
This undoubtedly proved that this girl was not ordinary!
Perhaps Braydon Neal knew a little about Sadie.
Outsiders did not know.
Braydon’s helicopter landed at the Preston main team base.
Steve Xavier had already received the news and came to pick him up personally. “Young Master Neal, you’re back!”
“You don’t have to pick me up. Go do your things.”
Braydon waved his hand slightly, telling Sebastian Wood and the others to get back to their work.
However, everyone in the the Preston main team knew that the Northern King had left the country last night. He had gone to Namar alone to welcome the northern hidden agents back home.
From the looks of it now, the person who had returned with him should be that hidden agent.
Regarding this matter, all the martial artists in the world already knew about it. The news could not be suppressed at all.
The Northern King attacked Namar for 4,000 miles at night, killing several kings, roaring in front of Linar and heavily injuring the commander of the imperial army, Taraz Ross, before entering Linar.
Linar welcomed him with the country’s etiquette!
Later Braydon stood in the Namar Palace and pointed his sword at the ruler of Namar, Cameron Linar.
How domineering was that!
He pointed his sword at the current ruler and forced him to hand over the north’s hidden agent.
Across the entire world, who dared to be so frivolous?
Perhaps it was only this Northern King Braydon.
Logan Hall drove over to pick him up. On the way to the Neal family manor, he wanted to say something but hesitated. He constantly peeked at the Eldest Young Master of the Neal family through the rearview mirror.
“Logan, if you have something to say, just say it. There’s no need to be so timid.” Braydon could not help but laugh.
“Young Master, did you really go to Namar last night?” Logan could not help but ask.
Braydon smiled and nodded.
“The Preston main team said that you killed several conferred kings from Namar and killed your way to the capital, where you pointed your blade at the ruler, Cameron Linar.”
“It’s true. With the arrival of the commander, Namar would definitely have to treat him with national etiquette. If they didn’t, the northern army’s swords would have pushed the battle line to the capital of Namar within three days!”
Sammy Dudley sat at the back, his eyes flashing with pride.
Wherever the swords of the northern army pointed, it was Hansworth’s land!
As long as Braydon wanted it, the territory of the northern territory would be ten times larger than it was now.
Logan looked at Braydon with reverence as if he were looking at a God.
“Turn around at the intersection ahead. We’re going to Preston University,” said Braydon.
“Ah, alright!” Logan faltered slightly before turning around and heading toward Preston University.
Braydon had his reasons for not returning to the Neal family.
Last night Braydon had just gone through a killing spree. He looked calm and indifferent, but the fierce killing intent on his body had not dissipated.
The killing intent of an ordinary person was terrifying.
The killing intent on the Northern King’s body could hurt people!
If it exploded, it could even kill.
The people living in the Neal family manor were all Braydon’s family, especially his sister Ginny Neal.
Usually, Braydon would take good care of her, so how could he bear to hurt her?
Preston University was different. There were tens of thousands of teachers and students, and the campus was filled with youthful spirit. It only took an afternoon to get rid of Braydon’s murderous aura.
Logan stopped the car at the school gate.
“Sammy, follow Logan back to the Neal family and prepare these medicines!” Braydon left behind a prescription for Sammy to use to treat his injuries at night.
After saying that, Braydon stood with his hands behind his back and entered the entrance of Preston University.
When the security guard saw Braydon, his entire body trembled, and he secretly made a phone call.
Zachariah Sloan rushed over. He had already instructed the security guards to inform him as soon as Professor Braydon Neal arrived.
“Professor Neal, you’re finally back at school!” Zachariah looked helpless.
“What’s the matter?” Braydon glanced over with a faint smile.
It was a very calm gaze, but it made Zachariah’s hair stand on end. He felt as if he was being stared at by the God of death, and he was inexplicably afraid.
This was because Braydon’s killing intent had yet to completely dissipate.
Even though he had already restrained his aura.
But last night, Braydon went on a killing spree, charging into Namar alone for 4,000 miles. He killed anyone who got in his way without mercy.
After going 8,000 miles and returning 8,000 miles, how could the killing intent on King Braydon, who had erupted with his peak combat strength, dissipate so easily?
Zachariah swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Braydon arrived at the research building. Yonah Zill led the research team and continued to expand the gravity of the anti-gravity device.
“Chief Engineer Neal, you’re here!” Yonah was surprised.
“Professor Neal, you’re back!” Gunter Bell was also there.
This short sentence revealed that Gunter knew Braydon had left the country last night.
“I heard that the anti-gravity device with a weight of 300 tons has been made?” Braydon chuckled.
“We’ve tested it, and the data is stable. We’ve received the latest notice to set up an anti-gravity propulsion project. The Academy of Sciences has allocated five billion dollars to us. Professor Neal alone will have control over the funds. There’s no need to report the spendings.”
After Gunter had finished speaking, his eyes were filled with envy.
One had to know that the research institute was very stingy. Every year, countless projects from various regions wanted to be approved and receive financial support.
In the end, more than 70% of the projects would be rejected.
As such, there were very few projects that were allocated research funds.
On the other hand, the anti-gravity project at Preston University shocked the old academicians of the Academy of Sciences. They did not even want the money!
Last time, he gave Braydon a bonus, but he did not take a single cent.
The people at the Academy of Sciences must think that Braydon was complaining about the lack of money.
However, after the second generation of anti-gravity propellors came out, the Academy of Sciences took the lead and immediately allocated funds to develop anti-gravity propellors.
Braydon frowned. “The anti-gravity propeller project can be established. Return the money.”
“Professor Neal…” Gunter was about to cry.
The money from the higher-ups had already been sent to him, but Braydon still did not want it.
Gunter really did not dare to take the money back again. The last time he took back the bonus, he was criticized.
The Academy of Sciences had already filed the anti-gravity device project as a national project.
The level had been raised, and the personnel and funds had to be guaranteed. Otherwise, if the research progress was delayed, everyone would be held accountable.
Gunter’s face was filled with despair. In his entire life, he had never encountered a situation where he could not give away money!
Ye here he was encountering such a strange thing.
All the members of the research lab stopped what they were doing and could not help but want to speak.
“Chief Engineer Ning, this is five billion dollars. The country gave it to us!” Yonah reminded him in a low voice.
“Five billion. Is that a lot?” Braydon asked with his hands behind his back.
His question stunned everyone.
Yonah held it in for a long time, and his face turned red. “It’s really quite a lot!”
