84 The Mysterious Minions are Ready to Make a Move
Braydon Neal and Danny Que had never believed in coincidences.
“You came to Preston to spy on my brother?” Danny asked with a smile, his hand on the hilt of his sword.
This sentence made the entire place fall into a dead silence.
Steve Xavier’s face was covered in cold sweat. He felt an inexplicable sense of oppression, and it was difficult to breathe.
This question seemed like a casual chat.
But would he, Zander Zeller, dare to admit it?
If he dared to admit it, there was only one outcome.
That was death!
Therefore, Zander did not dare to admit it.
If he angered the lunatics of the northern territory, they would dare to do anything.
The fact that the dark division had dared to monitor Braydon was the biggest provocation to the northern army. Danny had dared to overturn the dark division’s stall in the state of Quill and start a massacre.
Zander’s pupils contracted, and he said hurriedly, “How would I dare to spy on the Northern King? Absolutely not!”
“It’s best if you don’t. Get lost!” A cold light appeared in Danny’s eyes.
To be honest, he already had the intention to kill.
Zander got up with difficulty. The severe pain in his knees made him leave quickly with a limp. He did not dare to stay here anymore.
After he left.
Danny turned his head and said, “Brother, the leader of the dark division from the state of Quill has appeared here, and he’s definitely here for you!”
“What else do you think? The top-dog of the state of Quill, an advanced battle general of the same position as the deputy-leader of the Central Hansworth main team, would not appear in Preston for no reason.”
Braydon put down his teacup, his eyes cold.
He already had some guesses in his heart as to why the people from the dark division had come.
They were here to see Braydon’s physical state. They wanted to know whether his injuries had healed.
This information was extremely important.
To the outside world, King Braydon had suddenly left the northern territory and appeared in Preston. There was a secret rumor that it was a crowning ceremony.
However, many people in the north knew that the Northern King was seriously injured the day before he left the north!
Outsiders had no idea how serious his injuries were. The news had been blocked that night, and no matter how much people tried to find out, they could not get any useful information.
When Braydon reappeared, he was already in Preston.
To the outside world, King Braydon’s return was more for recuperation.
It was not surprising that some people had received the news at the first moment and sent their minions to investigate.
Because for some people, they wanted Braydon dead!
Someone did not want Braydon to return to the northern territory alive!
Danny was known as the Wolf of the East, and he was not a fool. He had also guessed why Zander had appeared tonight.
“Brother, have Carden and the others come over!” he said in a low voice.
“The safety of the northern defense line is more important than anything else!” Braydon stood up and left the bar.
Danny could only give up. He originally thought that he could transfer at least three of the ten most ruthless men of the north to Braydon’s side, and that would make four of them, including him, so that Braydon would be safe.
However, after Braydon left the northern territory, it had lost some of its deterrent force to the small countries outside the border.
If a few more army commanders were transferred away, the small countries outside the borders were bound to make a move.
Therefore, the line of defense in the northern territory could not be shaken. This was an order that Braydon had given before he left. No one was allowed to leave the country without permission.
At the entrance of the bar, Harold Sage had just arrived. He supported the drunk Heather Sage and questioned her angrily, “Braydon, why did you bring my sister to this place?”
“You’re thinking too much. We just happened to meet here!” Braydon brushed past her like a stranger.
Harold was stunned. He could smell the stench of blood. He could not help but look at the place where Braydon had just stood up. There were two bodies lying on the ground, and his heart turned cold.
“Young Master Neal, I’ll take care of this!” Steve Xavier said.
Braydon disappeared into the dark night, and it was already late at night when he returned to the Neal family manor.
But in Louis Neal’s room, the lights were still on.
“Dad, you’re still awake!” Braydon pushed the door open and entered.
Louis raised his head from the desk. “I’ll go to sleep after reading this document. Braydon, come and sit down. I have something to tell you!”
Braydon sat on the side and flipped through more than twenty documents on the table.
All of them were projects that the Neal Corporation was involved in, and most of them were related to the construction of the new district. With the seventy-billion-dollar injection from the PG Corporation, the Neal Corporation was not short of money now.
Braydon had given the Sage family ten billion. It was to repay the Sage family’s debt. The Neal Corporation still had sixty billion in liquid funds on the books.
In the past two days, Louis had paid off the debts owed by the Neal Coporation.
The assets and shares that were mortgaged to the bank and the fifteen billion that he owed the bank were all paid off, and his assets were redeemed.
In addition, the five billion that Larry Neal had borrowed was also returned.
The remaining forty billion had been invested into the construction of the Rose Park in the new district, as well as projects such as hospitals and schools. They had long been in urgent need of funds to operate.
The approval of these projects all depended on Louis alone. At the moment, there was still one thing that needed to be dealt with in the Neal Corporation, which was to clean out the people of Larry’s lineage.
“Braydon, I want you to work for the Neal corporation and join the Board of Directors,” Louis said seriously.
“Because of these people?” Braydon put down the file in his hand. It contained a list of the Neal Corporation’s top executives.
There were as many as twelve people on the list.
There was Louis’ name and Xandra Milton’s name, while the remaining ten were all from Larry’s side.
In fact, these people were the ones who really controlled the Neal Corporation. They were in charge of the group’s operations and each department.
What worried Louis the most was that if he were to get rid of all these people, it would be the same as breaking ten of the Neal Corporation’s ribs, and the entire company would collapse.
If they did not do some spring cleaning, these people who were all trained by Larry and had already formed a group would try their best to refute Louis’ proposal.
If they could not refute it, they would act in a roundabout way when executing it.
There were also many people on the list who could no longer keep up with the development of the Neal Corporation. If they could not get rid of the big tail, these people should at least be fired and replaced with new people.
Braydon looked at his father’s white hair, took the file away decisively and said, “I’ll settle this matter tomorrow!”
“Don’t be too extreme. After all, they’ve all contributed to the development of the Neal Corporation!” Louis reminded him.
However, if this matter was left to Braydon to deal with, the final result would depend on whether these people knew their place!
As the sky brightened, Braydon turned on the TV alone and watched the Preston Morning News. He drank a glass of water and did not touch the corn soup on the plate.
“Braydon, why aren’t you drinking the corn soup?” Laura Quinn asked as she entered the room.
“You put too much sugar in it!” Braydon had never liked sweet food.
Laura immediately understood. “Just look at me. I forgot that you’ve been lactose intolerant since you were young. You have diarrhea and stomachache whenever you eat sweet things. I’ll get someone to change it for you!”
“Okay!” Braydon smiled brightly.
This kind of heartwarming day where food was served to him only stayed in the memory of Braydon when he was seven years old.
Braydon was like a young master, sitting on the sofa and watching the news on TV.
The female host was dignified and elegant, and her voice was sweet as she said, “According to the tourists’ description, due to the ecological restoration of the Preston mountains, the number of wild animals has increased. The Preston officials remind you to not enter Preston mountains as often in case you get injured by the wild animals!”
This kind of announcement was to remind ordinary people not to enter Preston mountains for no reason.
Braydon squinted his eyes. He knew that it was the special operation team’s usual method to remind them of the danger in Preston mountains through the TV station.
