Chapter 78
78 All are Subjects Under My Command
Xana Thomas was stunned. She seemed to have just heard the news.
She also did not expect that Braydon Neal and Heather Sage would really go this far and directly break off the engagement.
And it was the woman who broke off the engagement. How could Braydon lift his head in Preston in the future?
Grant Thomas frowned and seemed to look down on Braydon. The man who had been rejected by the Sage family’s woman was not qualified to be the son-in-law of the Thomas family.
How could the Thomas family accept someone that the Sage family did not like? Otherwise, people would say that the Thomas family was inferior to the Sage family.
The atmosphere was temporarily gloomy as new dishes were served.
“Joseph, you and Braydon have a drink with me!” Grant opened a bottle of white wine.
“Dad, my stomach is not feeling well!” Joseph Thomas’s face was filled with despair.
“I’m sorry, but I’m banned from drinking!” Braydon said calmly.
Grant was a little surprised. He put down the bottle and felt that Braydon’s voice sounded familiar.
Thinking back, it was the same person who had threatened him this afternoon. He said that if he bullied Xana again, he would remove the Thomas family from Preston.
“Young man, did we talk on the phone this afternoon?” Grant asked directly.
“Dad, why do you have so many questions?” Xana had a bad feeling and wanted to change the topic.
However, Grant was not so easy to fool. He saw through his daughter’s little trick at a glance.
“It’s you! You’re the one who threatened to wipe out the Thomas family from Preston! he said angrily.
“What?” Madam Thomas was shocked.
“It’s all because you bullied Xana!” Joseph pursed his lips. “I haven’t even settled this score with you yet!”
“Shut up and get out!” Grant was not angry.
Joseph did not even want to see his sullen face. He got up and left, not bothering to get angry with his old man.
Madam Thomas stopped her daughter from talking.
Grant sat at the head of the table and said indifferently, “Young man, even Gerald Neal wouldn’t dare to say such words. I want to know where you got your confidence from!”
This question was filled with anger!
The Thomas family had been in Preston for decades, and even the Preston team did not dare to touch them!
It was because the Thomas family had connections in the provincial capital.
In Grant’s eyes, the abandoned son of the Neal family, who had been expelled back then, who actually dared to threaten him was simply too bold.
“Dad, don’t make things difficult for Braydon.” Xana begged. “He’s just joking!”
“There should be a line between a joke and a serious matter. You have to take responsibility for it!” Grant obviously did not want to give up.
“Calm down, Grant,” Madam Thomas said. “Don’t argue with a child. Braydon, you should know who Xana is, right?”
“The pearl in the palm of the Thomas family’s head!” Braydon’s smile was like the wind.
This smile made Joseph, who was outside the door, feel extremely disgusted.
Previously, Bobby Glass had been cut into two by Braydon in one strike while he was talking and laughing!
Madam Thomas nodded. “It’s good that you understand. With your status in the Neal family, you’re still not good enough to pursue Xana. If it’s Hayden Neal, it would make more sense. To put it more clearly, Xana’s marriage can’t be decided by herself. If she’s going to get married, it’s going to be an heir of the seven great families. Do you understand?”
These words were an undisguised humiliation!
She wanted to tear off the last layer of embarrassment and tell Braydon clearly that Xana was not someone he could get close to!
“Dad, Mom, it’s not what you think!” Xana was embarrassed and angry.
“It’s best if that’s the case. If you invite your friends of the opposite sex to your house tonight, what will others think of you? They will definitely think that Braydon is your boyfriend!” Grant said.
When he said this, Braydon suddenly laughed.
“What are you laughing at?” Madam Thomas frowned.
“Just now, you asked me if I know Xana’s identity. Do you know who I am?” Braydon suddenly did not feel like leaving.
Grant and his wife were stunned by his question.
When the couple came up to them, they looked overbearing. They thought that the Thomas family was a rich and powerful family, and that Braydon was just a social climber, so they did not think too much about it.
“It’s not hard to guess your identity as the abandoned son of the Neal family!” Grant frowned.
“Dad, that’s old news. Braydon’s family has returned to the Neal family!” Joseph reminded him helplessly. He did not want his father to be cut into a miserable state like Bobby Glass.
Grant’s face darkened. “So what? His identity is not enough to stir up the Thomas family!”
Braydon flicked his fingers and chuckled. There was actually something special about wearing a white shirt!
This was because he had worn this shirt inside out!
Braydon’s clothes were all specially made, and they were strictly inspected by the internal members of the northern army to prevent anyone from poisoning him.
This white top had a Qilin pattern under the sleeves!
Braydon’s fingers moved slightly and tore the sleeve, which fell on the table like a piece of white silk cloth. He chuckled, “I heard that the Thomas family’s roots are in the provincial capital of the state of Quill, and they have a lot of connections. Why don’t you check it out? You’ll definitely find something different from what you know.”
“What a beautiful little Qilin!” Xana blinked.
Women’s focus was indeed different!
Grant was experienced. He could tell that this pattern was not printed but embroidered with gold silk!
He took out his phone and took a picture, sending it to the important people in the provincial capital who he rarely contacted.
In less than a minute, the other party called.
“Who is it?” Madam Thomas looked over.
When he saw the caller ID, he was shocked and looked at Braydon in surprise.
The person who was calling was someone of great status in the provincial capital!
Grant picked up the phone and said respectfully, “Uncle Jared, why are you calling me personally? I just sent you a small Qilin picture to ask about its background!”
“Where did you get this piece of sleeve?” Uncle Jared’s voice was low.
“A young man tore it off from his clothes just now. Is something the matter?” Grant asked carefully.
“You foolish thing, kneel down and apologize to him. I think you people are tired of living! How dare you provoke him?!” Uncle Jared’s sudden rage frightened Grant.
One must know that Uncle Jared was an advanced warrior!
He did not expect that he would say such words.
This Uncle Jared was not only angry, but also fearful!
The golden Qilin pattern on the sleeve was the flag of the northern army. Only one person in the world dared to embroider it on their clothes.
That was the current Northern King, Braydon Neal!
This piece of sleeve was definitely from that person’s clothes.
Braydon sat beside him indifferently, smiling and warm, which made Grant’s hair stand on end.
“Uncle Jared, are you just exaggerating?” Grant asked with a stiff expression.
“You imbecile, let me tell you, the owner of this robe is not only someone you can’t afford to offend, even if I meet him, I’ll have to kneel down and salute him. Do you know the five great commanders of the world?”
Uncle Jared was about to go crazy.
He had never seen such a stupid thing before!
Grant was dumbfounded. He wondered if Braydon was one of the five commanders.
“I, I do,” he said in a trembling voice, “the five commanders are in charge of the world’s special operations team!”
“I’m telling you, the five great commanders in the world are all his subordinates!” Uncle Jared hung up the phone, not daring to contact him anymore.
As if struck by lightning, Grant’s mobile phone slipped out of his hand, and he was dumbfounded!
