Chapter 43

43 You Can’t Take It!

“Calm down, Chairman Smith. Sit down and talk!” Louis did not know the inside story.

Old Lady Sage spoke up and said, “Carter, how did my son-in-law, Braydon offend the Smith family?”

“Old Lady Sage, you’re here too!”

Carter restrained his attitude and stepped forward to bow before Old Lady Sage.

No matter what it was, Old Lady Sage’s seniority was clear for all to see!

In addition, the elders of the seven noble families were most particular about rules. If Carter dared to speak rudely, Old Master Smith would not let him off when he returned home!

It was a common phenomenon for the older generation to follow the rules, be it in the countryside or in the city.

This phenomenon was even more prominent among the rich and powerful.

Carter’s anger had not subsided and he persisted. “Zeke, come here. Let Old Lady Sage support you and seek justice for you. The eldest son of the Neal family has injured you to this extent. Is this even acceptable?”

Zeke, a handsome young man, appeared in front of the crowd with a pale face.

It was the person that Braydon had injured at the entrance of Preston City this morning. It pierced his shoulder and it was not a light injury.

Liam smiled slightly and said, “It’s just a small wound on the surface and it’s nothing to worry about!”

“Is this a minor injury?”

Carter’s lungs were about to explode from anger. He turned around and was stunned as he asked, “Are you Liam?”

“Carter, how have you been?” Liam chuckled.

In the end, Carter looked like he had seen a ghost. Everyone knew that Liam had been dead for more than ten years.

Unexpectedly, he was still alive.

The man in the Hansworth suit next to him, William Smith, was none other than Zeke’s father and the second master of the Smith family!

he was furious. “Liam, you’re being too protective over your junior!”

“You’ve injured my son to this extent. We will not be done if the Neal family does not give us an acceptable explanation today!” Carter waved his hand.

“What explanation does the Smith family want?” Liam asked in respond.

“It’s simple, ask Braydon to come out. He’s the eldest son of the Neal family and I will not hurt him. He simply needs to kneel down and admit his mistake and this matter will be over then!”

Carter sat down next to him and stated his conditions over a cup of tea.

The two brothers, Liam and Louis, looked at each other. They could sense each other’s anger.

Carter also knew that Braydon was the eldest son of the Neal family.

he was the future successor of the Neal Group. How could Braydon hold his head high in Preston City after being humiliated like this?

Heather yelled, “It was Zeke who bullied Braydon first!” Heather yelled.

“You do not understand the rules. Step down. You have no right to speak here!” Old Lady Sage tapped the ground with her walking stick.

Heather was just a young girl from younger generation and had no right to interrupt.

As one could imagine, Heather pouted but still stood aside, feeling aggrieved.

As a result, it was Braydon who was netx to her who said, “Grandma, let Heather talk if she wants to. My fiancée’s status is much higher compared to that of the Smith family’s status!”

“Who’s your fiancée? Don’t talk nonsense!” Heather secretly clenched her teeth, wanting to bite this bastard, Braydon, to death.

He did not make a sound even when he was bullied earlier.

As a result, once he opened his mouth to speak up, he might as well not have said anything!

Zeke’s eyes were burning with jealousy. He had pursued Heather for so long, but she had never favored him at all.

In the end, she was flirting with Braydon in front of him.

“Uncle, Dad!” Zeke said hoarsely.

“What are you calling out for? You’re useless! You have to get justice today!” Carter scolded.

Zeke was burning with jealousy and said, “The Smith family isn’t afraid of the Neal family at all. Why don’t we let Mr. Zimmerman take action?”

“Shut up!”

Slap!

William turned around and slapped Zeke, causing him to fall to the ground.

Carter’s eyes turned cold. He was not as simple as he looked.

There was clearly a problem here.

Who was that Mr. Zimmerman?

He was obviously a trump card as the two leaders of the Smith family wanted to hide his existence.

Old Lady Sage frowned. “That’s enough! Braydon, it’s not appropriate for you to hurt him so badly. Just apologize and it’ll all be over then!”

“Apologize? Old Lady Sage, you’re being too biased. Braydon must kneel down and apologize, or the Neal family won’t be able to bear the consequences!”

William was determined to humiliate Braydon today and make him the laughing stock of Preston City.

“Interesting!”

The situation of tit-for-tat attracted everyone’s attention when Braydon replied with the word, ‘interesting!’

Braydon placed his hands behind his back and said, “Grandma, you’re asking me to apologize but you’re being too biased towards the Smith family.”

“What the hell?”

Carter’s eyes widened in shock as he thought that Braydon was insane.

...

Was Old Lady Sage being bias toward the Smith family?

Anyone with discerning eyes could see that she was biased towards Braydon!

The key point was that Old Lady Sage smiled wryly and said, “Carter is considered to be my sworn brother. No matter how the Smith family has offended you, you have to give in for my sake tonight and let the Smith family off!”

After she was done speaking, Carter felt that something was wrong.

When did the Shi family become so lowly?

He could not even afford to offend a young kid?

This was the biggest joke in the world!

Braydon nodded slightly and turned around with an expressionless face as he said, “The Smith family wants me to kneel and apologize?”

“That’s right!” Zeke stared at him as if he was a venomous snake.

Braydon chuckled and said, “I’m afraid that the Smith family will not be able to take it!”

“If you dare to kneel, the Shi family will definitely be able to take it!” Carter had a domineering look on his face.

...

Braydon’s eyes became colder. Since the Smith family was determined to seek their own death, he would fulfill their wish!

As soon as his black cloak was taken off...

“You can’t kneel!”

Old Lady Sage stood up in shock.

An old voice sounded outside the bright hall, causing the Smith family members to be shocked as they hurriedly looked back.

An old man with white hair rushed in with a walking stick and shouted, “You can’t kneel, you can’t kneel...”

“Dad, why are you here?!” Carter hurried over to help him up.

Slap!

Old Master Smith slapped him when he came over and rebuked him angrily with flushed red eyes, “You bastard, get down on your knees!”

“Dad?” Carter was dumbfounded.

“Kneel down!!!”

Carter had no choice but to kneel down when he saw how furious Old Master Smith was.

In the next moment, a scene that shocked everyone in the Smith family appeared.

Old Master Smith knelt down on one knee and said, “Greetings from the Smith family from Preston City, Commander Braydon!”

“Third Brother, what are you doing?!”

“I’m here so matter what it is, I’ll protect Carter’s children!” Old Lady Sage went forward to help him up.

When William heard the word ‘commander’, he was stunned.

He might not believe what other people said, but what his father said must be true!

That was the commander!

One of the five great commanders in the world, a figure who stood at the peak of Mount Tanish.

He was usually a member of Preston City main team and the Smith family could not afford to offend him.

If they angered the Preston City main team, the Smith family would be labeled as an ancient martial arts family with a grade A1 danger rating. The entire Smith family would be exterminated, and none of the old, young, women, and children would be spared!

The special operations team was a godlike existence.

They had special privileges and the terrifying rights to act first and report later.

As mentioned before, when the special operations team was in charge, anyone who tried to stop them would be killed without mercy!

They were that overbearing.

The special operations team was a hierarchical organization. In every county-level city, an official member would be stationed there to lead a few members to deter the ancient martial artists.

Above them were the leaders of Preston City main team.

Preston City main team was split into non-staff members, official members, captain level, deputy captain level, and team leader level!

Preston City main team did not need to report to anyone. Everything was reported directly to the Central Hansworth main team.

The Central Hansworth main team had jurisdiction over the three central provinces and had many departments.

However, there was only one commander, and that was the head of the main team!

The Smith family could not afford to offend a big shot like this.

Braydon placed his hands behind his back and said softly, “I’ve said it before, the Smith family cannot take it if I kneel like this!”
