Chapter 77
77 Xana Thomas’ Room
Logan Hall and Belden Frost had such long lives. They encountered a dangerous person like Bobby Glass, who was not someone they could handle!
If Braydon Neal had not made a move tonight, their bodies would have been cold by now.
At the intersection of the street in the distance.
Xana Thomas called for a car and invited Braydon to the Thomas family home for dinner.
After the car had been parked, the driver looked at the listless Joseph Thomas and asked, “Brother, how much wine did you drink to vomit so much?”
“It’s none of your business. Let’s go to the Thomas family’s manor!” Joseph retorted angrily.
“You’re such a bad boy! What did you see? Why are you vomiting so much?” Xana asked.
As a result, her question brought back the scene that Joseph did not want to recall. He leaned against the window like a useless dog.
With such a sister, Joseph even wanted to die!
“I heard from Steve that you want to join the Preston team?” Braydon smiled.
“The Preston team doesn’t accept martial artists from wealthy families. They’re worried that the martial artists from the seven great families will join the Preston team and turn around to use the Preston team for the benefit of their families!”
Xana’s fingers brushed away her messy hair.
This was a rule that existed in all the special operations teams.
It was just like how the Thomas family had placed their people in the Preston team. No one among the seven great families dared to provoke them. Most people would probably not dare to interfere with the Thomas family.
Braydon shook his head. “With how you look right now, you’re not a good fit for the Preston team. What you saw today is their daily experience. The Preston team is responsible for the safety of the city. They hide amongst ordinary people and deal with the most difficult and dangerous missions!”
Joseph nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice. He was no longer as envious of being a member of the Preston team.
He had originally thought that by becoming a member of Preston team, he would be superior to others and be able to control all the martial artists in Preston. He would also be able to wear a cold sword at his waist and look majestic.
But after what happened tonight, Joseph realized that the members of the Preston team could die in battle at any moment!
Behind the Preston team’s decisiveness and special treatment, they were facing great danger.
If not for Braydon’s intervention today, Logan and Belden would have surely died.
The three of them returned to the Thomas family’s manor. Xana told the kitchen to prepare a banquet and send it to her small villa.
A girl’s room was always more romantic than a boy’s room. It was clean, and the living room on the first floor was decorated in a European style, which made it look luxurious and warm.
Xana took out a drink from the fridge and asked, “Genius Neal, would you like juice or milk? I don’t have any carbonated drinks here!”
“Give me a bottle of iced water!” Joseph was sprawled out on the sofa.
He vomited so much that he looked like he was about to faint. However, this stinky sister did not care about him at all. She even asked Braydon what he wanted to drink first!
Was she still his sister?
The food made by the Thomas family manor’s kitchen was quickly sent over.
Sweet and sour ribs and braised carp were normal, but the next dishes were stir-fried beef liver, pork lung salad, tofu with green onion, stir-fried pig intestines…
Joseph’s face turned green!
The image of Bobby being split into two appeared in his mind again. The tofu with green onion looked like his brain!
Without saying a word, Joseph turned and ran out of the door, and he immediately vomited.
“Go and kill old Stuart in the kitchen!” He shouted angrily.
“What’s wrong with you? Come in and eat!” Xana’s gaze was unfriendly.
Joseph kept vomiting, but nothing came out. He had no appetite, so he sat on the side with his head down.
This made Xana happy. Her brother was usually full of energy, and it was rare for him to be so docile.
Braydon was eating the plain-tasting tofu.
“Braydon bro, you can still eat?” Joseph asked with a strange look in his eyes.
“I’m used to it!” Braydon was a ruthless man who grew up in the northern territory and had experienced even crueler environments. He was not like Joseph, who was a protected child.
Joseph’s face was full of admiration. He was really convinced.
The three of them had a meal together, but two of them ate while the other one watched.
Outside the villa, a lady in her forties walked in. She was quite well-maintained and said softly, “Xana, we have a guest!”
“Mom, you’re still up so late!” Xana immediately put down her chopsticks.
Lady Yoder was Madam Thomas, the wife of Grant Thomas, the third-generation head of the Thomas family.
Madam Thomas could not help but look at Braydon, sizing him up like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.
Braydon did not feel anything.
“Mom, let me introduce you,” Xana said. “This is Braydon Neal!”
“His name sounds familiar. The third generation of the Neals has many talents. Hayden Neal was the first to become a warrior among the third generation of the seven great families. I still remember him clearly!”
Madam Thomas’s words had a hidden meaning!
As expected of someone from a wealthy family, she was so scheming!
When Madam Thomas mentioned the most outstanding young man in the Neal family in front of Braydon, it would make him feel inferior, and it would make Braydon understand.
Most of the Neals were not as outstanding as Hayden, so they were not qualified to pursue Xana!
Xana was a direct descendant of the Thomas family, and she would marry the next heir of one of the seven great families.
This was called a match of equal social status!
There were too many hidden meanings in one sentence, but the seven-foot men who grew up in the north were most disgusted with infighting!
The men who grew up in the north were tough and unyielding, accompanied by hot-blooded and sincere friendship between compatriots.
As for Braydon, he understood what Madam Thomas meant.
Don’t forget that Braydon became a God at the age of nine. He was young and intelligent, and now that he was all grown up, his mind was even shaper and more intelligent.
Only a thousand-year-old genius like Braydon could command the one million elites of the north at such a young age.
It was hard for ordinary people to control a ten-thousand-man army.
“Thank you for your hospitality. It’s getting late, so I should go!” Braydon stood up indifferently.
Xana was stunned. “The dishes aren’t all here yet. Besides, you’ve only been here for less than 20 minutes. Are the dishes not to your taste? I’ll ask the kitchen to change them!”
“Get the kitchen to change the dishes!” A deep male voice came from outside the door.
Grant Thomas had thick eyebrows and fierce eyes. He strode into the room in a domineering manner and ordered new dishes to be changed as soon as he entered.
“Dad! Why are you here?” Joseph was surprised.
“You still don’t get why I’m here?”
Grant asked.
In the next moment, Joseph seemed to have understood something.
Madam Thomas reminded them gently, “Xana has never brought a friend of the opposite sex to our house before. You attracted everyone’s attention the moment you entered the Thomas family’s house!”
The Thomas family had mistaken Braydon for Xana’s boyfriend!
As such, it was obvious that Madam Thomas had to come personally to understand the situation.
Grant had come in person for Braydon.
“So what if it’s a misunderstanding? Besides, my brother, Braydon, is completely worthy of my sister!” Joseph was pulling strings with a serious face.
As a result, Xana blushed and hit Joseph with a pillow, shouting, “Who told you to talk nonsense? I’m going to beat you to death! Braydon is Heather’s fiancé!”
“Stop hitting me. The Sage family has already broken off the engagement!” Joseph’s hair was as messy as a bird nest.
