Chapter 482: Do You Understand Why Now?

When Old lady Sage heard the words ‘grandson-in-law’, she was so happy that she had a huge smile on her face.
The old lady had always been thinking about Braydon Neal and Heather Sage’s marriage.
She said kindly, “There’s no hurry. These two know what they are doing.”
“Since ancient times, marriages have been decided by the elders. How can we let these young ones do as they wish?”
Maximilan Kerr said, treating Braydon as a junior.
Braydon did not mind. The main purpose of his visit today was to see Grandma
Sage.
As for outsiders, Braydon obviously did not care.
“Harold,” Old lady Sage said, “bring Braydon to your courtyard to rest. I’ll go over after my conversation with Master Kerr.”
“Alright, you two come with me!” Harold Sage smiled.
Now, he and Braydon were no longer distant.
They were all of the same age, so there was no communication barrier.
The three of them left the living room and took a walk outside.
Braydon then asked about the Sage family. He frowned and asked, “Grandma is not in good health. Why didn’t you ask Heather to look for me instead of inviting outsiders?”
“Apothecaries can use spirit herbs to concoct pills and help martial artists improve their strength. They are different from ordinary doctors.”
Harold Sage explained.
He did not invite Maximilan here to treat the old lady, but for something else. “Concoct pills? You want to learn ancient martial arts?” Braydon asked softly.
“I’m the one who wants to learn!”
Heather proudly raised her fair hand.
Braydon could not help but laugh.
Why had this girl’s desire to learn martial arts not died yet!
“You’re not allowed to learn!” Braydon said with a straight face.
“Grandma agreed to let Heather learn martial arts!”
Harold then explained everything.
Today, the Sage family invited Maximilan over to commission him to concoct a batch of pills with spirit herbs to prepare for Heather to learn ancient martial arts.
After all, the Sage family was one of the seven great families in the capital.
Putting aside the Neal family.
The Sage family stood tall in Preston. Naturally, they had their own way of survival.
As a wealthy family, how could there not be martial artists in the family?
Among the wealthy families, every family had martial artists.
Except for the eldest son of the Neal family, who was way too monstrous and was ignored by everyone.
Take the Larson family for example, they had long given up on competing with the Neal family.
The Larson Family was the second of the seven great families in Preston.
Their position was untouchable!
The other wealthy families did not compete with the Neal family, but it did not mean that the remaining six families did not compete with each other.
For decades, everyone had been fighting openly and secretly.
It was impossible for the great families to ease their relationship and treat each other with respect just because Braydon had returned to Preston.
That was simply impossible!
The competition between the various great families existed all the time.
Harold shrugged helplessly and explained, “There’s no way for me to learn. Grandma specially brought me to the provincial capital. The warlord level big shots all said that my constitution is bad and that I have no talent in martial arts.”
Braydon burst into laughter when he heard that.
In a small place like Preston, a warlord level martial artist was considered a big shot!
Last night, Braydon had killed four or five half-step pinnacles.
And there were countless kings!
“Heather is different,” Harold said.” Her innate ability and talent are excellent. She is suitable for martial arts. Grandma wants one of us to become a martial artist. ”
“Little Braydon, did you hear that? This is Grandma’s idea!”
Heather smiled playfully. Her bright eyes and white teeth were always like a melon in Braydon’s eyes.
This young lady was confident that Braydon would not go against the old lady’s wishes.
As expected.
Braydon’s respect for Grandma Sage was absolutely genuine.
He said softly, “If you want to learn martial arts, then so be it. Just be a martial artist and put on a show. Just make Grandma happy.”
What Braydon meant was that Heather could forget about becoming a military martial artist for the rest of her life!
Groups like military martial artists were prepared for war all year round. Once the order was given, everyone would head to the front lines and fight bloody battles!
Braydon would never allow Heather to experience such a life.
“Can you teach me the king-conferring techniques?” Heather asked in a low voice.
“Who told you about that?” Braydon was amused.
This girl was really smart!
She wanted to learn king-conferring techniques!
The key was that each of the eight techniques was a pinnacle martial art path.
Heather was not even a real martial artist.
Even if he showed her the pinnacle martial arts path, she would not understand it at all!
Braydon pinched her nose and smiled faintly, “When you reach king level, other than the three forbidden techniques, you can learn the remaining five!” Heather was satisfied.
The three of them were of the same age and had common topics to talk about.
Harold did not practice martial arts. He chatted with Braydon about the cooperation between the Neal Corporation and the Sage Corporation.
With the help of the Neal family, the Sage Corporation had developed quite quickly.
However, in the living room not far away, there seemed to be a small problem.
The conversation between Old Lady Sage and Maximilan did not seem pleasant.
Apothecary was an unpopular profession, and those who came into contact with it were usually martial artists.
Maximilan was also a martial artist, and an upper rank warlord!
Those ranked as upper-rank warlords were at least at the seventh level.
Maximilan had always lived in the provincial capital of Quill. He had never been to a small place like Preston.
This time, it was Old Lady Sage who asked someone from the provincial capital to invite Maximilan.
In the living room.
Maximilan frowned and said, “Madam Sage, let’s be frank. I can concoct pills, but I’ll charge 10 million for each pill I concoct!” “Master Kerr, isn’t that too expensive?”
Old Lady Sage frowned; her heart heavy.
According to the information she had gathered, the price of the pills Maximilan concocted for others in the provincial capital was nowhere near this price!
“Also, you have to prepare your own old medicine and spirit herbs.”
Old Lady Sage was so angry that she started coughing violently.
When Maximilan concocted pills for others in the provincial capital, the price of each pill would not be higher than a million. Usually, the price was only 300 to 500 thousand.
That was already very expensive!
Pills were consumables. Even if they had gold mines, they would not be able to pay that kind of price.
Maximilan replied calmly, “Madam Sage, you and I are both smart people. The price in Quill is indeed much lower than the price I’m giving you. It might be a hundred times lower!
“But you have to know who those people are. They are either rich or powerful!
“Take my regular customers for example. The lowest level is a warlord level martial artist, and they’re considered important figures in the provincial capital. There are also some big shots, such as the members of the Central Plains main team.
“I’m mutually beneficial to them, but madam, you’re different!
“Although the Sage family is one of the seven great families in Preston, in my eyes, you are just a small family in a small place. There are not even a few proper martial artists here, so do you understand why now?”
Maximilan’s words were undoubtedly blatant contempt..
