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 familyâs 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.
âJoseph, you and Braydon have a drink with me!â Grant opened a bottle of white wine.
âDad, my stomach is not feeling well!â Joseph Thomasâs face was filled with despair.
âIâm sorry, but Iâm banned from drinking!â Braydon said calmly.
Grant was a little surprised. He put down the bottle and felt that Braydonâs 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.
âYoung man, did we talk on the phone this afternoon?â Grant asked directly.
âDad, why do you have so many questions?â Xana had a bad feeling and wanted to change the topic.
However, Grant was not so easy to fool. He saw through his daughterâs little trick at a glance.
âItâs you! Youâre the one who threatened to wipe out the Thomas family from Preston! he said angrily.
âWhat?â Madam Thomas was shocked.
âItâs all because you bullied Xana!â Joseph pursed his lips. âI havenât even settled this score with you yet!â
âShut up and get out!â 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, âYoung man, even Gerald Neal wouldnât dare to say such words. I want to know where you got your confidence from!â
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 Grantâs eyes, the abandoned son of the Neal family, who had been expelled back then, who actually dared to threaten him was simply too bold.
âDad, donât make things difficult for Braydon.â Xana begged. âHeâs just joking!â
âThere should be a line between a joke and a serious matter. You have to take responsibility for it!â Grant obviously did not want to give up.
âCalm down, Grant,â Madam Thomas said. âDonât argue with a child. Braydon, you should know who Xana is, right?â
âThe pearl in the palm of the Thomas familyâs head!â Braydonâs 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. âItâs good that you understand. With your status in the Neal family, youâre still not good enough to pursue Xana. If itâs Hayden Neal, it would make more sense. To put it more clearly, Xanaâs marriage canât be decided by herself. If sheâs going to get married, itâs going to be an heir of the seven great families. Do you understand?â
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!
âDad, Mom, itâs not what you think!â Xana was embarrassed and angry.
âItâs best if thatâs 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!â Grant said.
When he said this, Braydon suddenly laughed.
âWhat are you laughing at?â Madam Thomas frowned.
âJust now, you asked me if I know Xanaâs identity. Do you know who I am?â Braydon suddenly did not feel like leaving.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
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.
âItâs not hard to guess your identity as the abandoned son of the Neal family!â Grant frowned.
âDad, thatâs old news. Braydonâs family has returned to the Neal family!â Joseph reminded him helplessly. He did not want his father to be cut into a miserable state like Bobby Glass.
Grantâs face darkened. âSo what? His identity is not enough to stir up the Thomas family!â
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!
Braydonâs 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!
Braydonâs fingers moved slightly and tore the sleeve, which fell on the table like a piece of white silk cloth. He chuckled, âI heard that the Thomas familyâs roots are in the provincial capital of the state of Quill, and they have a lot of connections. Why donât you check it out? Youâll definitely find something different from what you know.â
âWhat a beautiful little Qilin!â Xana blinked.
Womenâs 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.
...
âWho is it?â 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, âUncle Jared, why are you calling me personally? I just sent you a small Qilin picture to ask about its background!â
âWhere did you get this piece of sleeve?â Uncle Jaredâs voice was low.
âA young man tore it off from his clothes just now. Is something the matter?â Grant asked carefully.
âYou foolish thing, kneel down and apologize to him. I think you people are tired of living! How dare you provoke him?!â Uncle Jaredâs 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 personâs clothes.
Braydon sat beside him indifferently, smiling and warm, which made Grantâs hair stand on end.
âUncle Jared, are you just exaggerating?â Grant asked with a stiff expression.
âYou imbecile, let me tell you, the owner of this robe is not only someone you canât afford to offend, even if I meet him, Iâll have to kneel down and salute him. Do you know the five great commanders of the world?â
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.
âI, I do,â he said in a trembling voice, âthe five commanders are in charge of the worldâs special operations team!â
âIâm telling you, the five great commanders in the world are all his subordinates!â Uncle Jared hung up the phone, not daring to contact him anymore.
As if struck by lightning, Grantâs mobile phone slipped out of his hand, and he was dumbfounded!
