33 You’re Not Qualified Enough!
The golden Qilin was the flag of the northern army!
Those were Harry Quinn’s last words. His head tilted to the side, and he stopped breathing.
Theodore Quinn recalled Leonard Neal’s words and muttered, “If you don’t want to die, don’t mess with him.”
The Neal family’s car fleet turned around and slowly drove out of the Quinn family’s residential area.
This made the Quinn family realize that the most terrifying person in the Neal family wasn’t Louis Neal, but their eldest son, Braydon Neal!
Geoffrey Quinn looked like he had aged ten years. He sat on the ground weakly and recalled the mistakes he had made in the past.
One wrong step had really led to many more wrong steps!
Laura Quinn’s family of three returned to the Neal family’s manor only to find that the guests had arrived.
It was not Uncle White, who sold them pancakes last night, but Harold Sage, a young man of the third generation of the Sage family. He sat in the bright hall and waited quietly.
Compared to his peers, Harold was definitely outstanding. He was managing the Sage family’s corporation at such a young age.
As for Harold’s father, he had passed away in an accident a long time ago.
It was said that old master Sage and his two sons had died in a car accident.
At this moment, Louis’ family of three had just gotten out of the car.
“Harold is here!” Laura Quinn said softly.
“Aunt Laura, I brought you some good bird’s nest!” Harold was still very polite.
Laura could not help but scold him. “You’re still treating me like an outsider. Are you here to look for Braydon today?”
“Yes!” Harold did not hide his intention.
Louis pushed Laura back to rest, not curious about anything.
In the bright hall, Braydon sat down calmly. He did not care about what he had experienced at the Sage family yesterday.
“Tell me, what difficulties have the Sage family encountered?” Braydon had noticed that the Sage family was in trouble yesterday.
Harold furrowed his brows. “The Sage family isn’t what it used to be, but we don’t need outsiders to help us. I can handle it myself. Besides, your Neal family might not be doing better than my Sage family.”
Braydon chuckled. He did not expect Harold to have some sense of pride left.
It seemed that he had heard the news and knew that the Neal Corporation was in trouble, but he probably did not know that the matter had been resolved.
Harold handed him a gold card and placed it on the tea table.
He calmly said, “Three hundred million. This is what we can come up with at the moment. If your Neal family is really in a rush, the Sage family can borrow 1 billion from the Bank of Communications. I’ve already pulled some strings. We can withdraw it at any time!”
“State your conditions!”
Braydon took a sip of the hot tea and frowned.
He did not like black tea, and he did not know who made it.
“The conditions are simple. I want you to break off your engagement with Heather,” Harold said calmly.
“Send the guest away!”
Braydon stood up and took off his cloak, his face expressionless.
Harold shouted coldly, “Braydon, I know that you are an ancient martial arts practitioner and that you are very powerful. However, you have been in the northern territory for thirteen years and have been in the military for more than ten years. That’s your life. Do you know what Heather likes?”
Braydon stopped and turned around to look at him calmly.
Harold continued, “You don’t know what she likes to eat. You don’t know what she likes to wear either. You don’t know whether Heather would be happy if she married you.”
His sharp words were meant to break through Braydon’s psychological state.
However, Braydon was calm and waited for him to finish his sentence.
“The Neal family is facing a desperate situation, and things have reached such a critical point. The Sage family’s corporation can provide you with the funds. I hope you’ll reconsider!” Harold continued.
“You’re treating this as a deal?”
Braydon frowned.
Howard was slightly stunned. He did not expect Braydon to be so childish.
Between the great families, there were benefits behind everything.
No matter if it was the Neal family or the Sage family, as long as the other party was an ordinary family, how could the two sides set an engagement between two children?
Harold sneered disdainfully. “How childish. The marriage between the Neal and the Sage is for the sake of a deeper cooperation. I’ll help you when the Neals are in trouble, but the condition is that you break off the engagement on your own. It’s that simple!”
Harold was not a martial artist, and he did not care how powerful a martial artist was.
Modern society was not a world where ancient martial artists could do whatever they wanted. He only cared about the Sage family’s corporation and how the Sage family would be in the future.
Harold had come over and made this decision without permission, clearly hiding it from old lady Sage.
If the old lady knew about this, she would be furious.
Harold was still too young. To put it bluntly, he was short-sighted and inexperienced.
If Heather Queen married Braydon, it would be the Sage family climbing the social ladder!
As the Northern King, if he wanted power, he could rule the world and hold a high position in the palace. He would be unparalleled!
If he wanted money, hundreds of billions of dollars would be offered to him in the blink of an eye.
The Northern King’s name was not as simple as just a king’s level; it was a religion in the north!
These two words were a living legend!
At the entrance of the bright hall stood a mixed-race beauty. She had a beautiful face, a straight nose like a Westerner, and beautiful eyebrows. She had a pair of diamond earrings on her ear, and her wine-red hair was tied up.
“If the Neal family is in trouble, it’s not up to you, a junior of the Sage family, to come and humiliate them!” She smiled elegantly.
Harold furrowed his brows and looked over. He obviously did not know her.
The girl handed him a name card with a simple introduction.
Xandra Milton, President of the Asian Investment Group of PG Corporations.
There was no need to question her identity, as it could be found on the company’s official website.
“PG Corporation?!” Harold’s pupils constricted, and he had lost his voice.
“What’s wrong? Mr. Sage, if you have any doubts, you can check on the official website!”
The corners of Xandra’s lips curled up slightly. She turned around and bowed respectfully. “Northern King!”
Harold was once again dazed by the way she addressed him.
He had thought that even though Braydon was an ancient martial arts practitioner, he would not understand the complexity of society, let alone the difficulty of running a business, and would not have any connections after having served in the northern territory for ten years.
However, Harold was completely dumbfounded today.
Xandra’s thin lips moved slightly. “I’ve received an electronic document from President Steve. I’ve transferred 70 billion dollars into the Neal Corporation!”
Braydon nodded gently and asked her to find Louis to sign the contract.
Harold was stunned and remained silent for a long time.
On the table, the gold card he took out was extremely eye-catching, like a slap to his face.
Three hundred million was a huge sum of money to ordinary people.
However, to the Neal Corporation, it was like a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood.
Moreover, Xandra Milton had brought 70 billion dollars from the PG Corporation and shattered Harold’s high and mighty status.
Braydon put his hands behind his back and said indifferently, “I’m not interested in money. If I want it, hundreds of billions of dollars will be offered to me. If I want power, I won’t be wearing this cloth robe!
“Let Grandma talk to me about the marriage that my father has decided.
“Harold Sage, you’re not good enough!”
Braydon turned around, and his golden Qilin cape fluttered in the wind. A gust of wind blew, and Harold was swept up by it. He was flung outside the door, falling heavily onto the ground.
Harold left in embarrassment. In front of Braydon, he, who was the top ten outstanding young men in Preston, was not even worth mentioning.
Xandra and Louis quickly signed the contract.
On the same day, the Neal Corporation announced that they had reached a partnership with the PG Corporation and accepted their 70 billion dollars investment.
This explosive news, even without a press conference, shocked all the companies in Preston.
The Neal family’s waters were really too deep!
