63 News of the Third Person

It was already nine o’clock in the evening. Braydon Neal had spent most of the day here, and the favor he owed Dawson Lablanc had been paid off.

Braydon did not seem to care about the assembled anti-gravity device.

Yvonne Lars looked at his back and said in a low voice, “Teacher Neal is such a strange person!”

“Alright, Yvonne, you’re in charge of recording the data!”

Dawson was a little excited. He had spent most of his life on this, and now he finally had a finished product. How could he not be excited?

The black instrument was the size of a desk and weighed one hundred and fifty pounds.

Beep!

Dawson pressed the red start button, and the whole machine made a buzzing sound and slowly floated up to half a person’s height.

This scene shocked everyone in the research room.

“Good, very good!” In Dawson’s exhilaration, tears appeared in the corners of his eyes.

After decades of painstaking research, there was finally a glimmer of hope. He was finally looking at a finished product.

Dawson hurriedly said, “Quick! Test the bearing force. Test the floating height. Do it bit by bit!”

Everyone was flustered. They placed a tire on the machine and found that it did not affect the machine at all. Then, they continued to add weight and altitude.

It could float up to 10 meters and could bear up to 100 pounds of weight.

This was undoubtedly a huge breakthrough. It filled the void of anti-gravity and was a substantial breakthrough.

“Teacher,” Quentin Hunt said in a low voice, “once this matter is publicized, it’ll definitely cause a huge sensation on an international level. By then, we won’t be lacking in fame and fortune!”

“I know!” Dawson was still looking at the gravity instrument.

Quentin was a little anxious. “What I mean is, we don’t need to accept Braydon Neal’s funding anymore. Why should he take 90% of the profit from the patent? I’ve worked hard for the research lab for almost 40 years!”

“I think Quentin is right. With this, top international organizations will come to us. Braydon Neal’s conditions are too much!”

The short young man, Alvin Shaw, also expressed his opinion.

Quentin and the others were not stupid. They could see that the appearance of this thing was bound to cause a great uproar.

When the top international organizations came, they would have all kinds of experts, top-notch equipment, and funds. They would not lack anything!

Dawson was silent.

“Teacher, the top organizations have a huge amount of resource,” Quentin said. “It’s not that our theoretical knowledge is lacking, it’s because the equipment is outdated and basic, and we don’t have the funds. With the money and equipment, we can also develop a gravity instrument!”

“Teacher, with resources, we will no longer be restricted by others!”

Alvin also tried to persuade him.

Dawson was a little tempted. If he wanted to go further, he would need the help of resources from top institutions.

In the end, he promised Quentin to let him take charge of this matter.

When Braydon returned home, the manor was still brightly lit, as if someone was waiting for him.

In the main hall of the bright hall, Laura Quinn and Louis Neal were both there.

“Mom, Dad, why are you still awake?” Braydon was slightly surprised.

“Braydon,” Laura said softly, “did you quarrel with Heather?”

“You’re half a year older than Heather, so you should give in to her!” Louis also tried to persuade him.

Braydon smiled. “Heather has rejected this marriage from the bottom of her heart. Dad, Mom, you don’t have to say anything further. Go to bed early!”

Louis and his wife had been waiting for him at the bright hall.

Braydon flashed to the roof of the bright hall.

Steve Xavier was there and did not alert anyone. He cupped his hands and said, “Steve Xavier pays his respects to the Northern King!”

“Have you found that person?” Braydon put his hands behind his back.

The wind at night was a little chilly.

Braydon had said that he would kill three people on this trip back to the capital!

The first person was Gerald Neal.

The second person was Harry Quinn.

As for the third person, Braydon had not made a move yet because he had not found the whereabouts of that person.

Steve smiled bitterly. “I haven’t found anything yet. You issued the northern military sword token earlier. The one who received the order was Zander Zeller, the head of the dark division in the state of Quill!”

He had to tell Braydon about this!

Every martial artist in the world knew that the dark division and the special operations team were not on good terms.

All the special operations teams in the world were under the control of the five commanders.

And the five commanders were all Braydon’s subordinates!

The leader of the dark division in the state of Quill had appeared in Preston, and Steve was worried that he had come for Braydon.

After all, some people had no intention of letting Braydon return to the northern territory this time.

Someone wanted Braydon dead!

Previously, when Carl Mason led his men to the dock, he told Braydon to go to the Northern Hansworth main team, where no one could touch Braydon.

“Zander Zeller sounds familiar!” Braydon’s eyes were cold.

The third person he wanted to kill was one of the leaders of the dark division.

...

“Should we eliminate him?” Steve asked with a murderous tone.

“Ignore him!”

Braydon waved his hand slightly, and Steve disappeared into the dark night.

However, in the Sage family’s manor, Heather Sage had insomnia. For some reason, Braydon’s figure would appear in her mind every time she closed her eyes.

“Heather, are you asleep?” Grandma Sage knocked on the door.

“Not yet. It’s already so late. Why aren’t you asleep yet, Grandma?” Heather quickly got up in her pajamas.

Grandma Sage sighed. “During the day, your Aunt Laura came and told me about you and Braydon. You... Forget it, from now on, no one from the Neal and Sage families will mention this marriage ever again!”

“What’s wrong, Grandma?”

Heather’s face turned pale.

“You’ve expressed your dissatisfaction with the marriage again in front of Braydon!” Old lady Sage said tenderly. “Why would Braydon continue to bother you?

“If it were any other girl, with Braydon’s pride, he would have stopped pestering her the first time she asked to break off the engagement. But you’ve been asking for it for three days straight!

...

“During the day, your Aunt Laura came and retrieved the marriage annulment letter I wrote. The female side will break off the engagement to save your face. Braydon has been humiliated. This can be considered as returning the favor he owed back then!”

Old lady Sage sighed deeply.

She did not expect things to turn out this way. In the old lady’s heart, her granddaughter was very outstanding, a famous talented woman in Preston.

But Braydon was even more outstanding!

The overlord of the north, the Northern King, a genius that came by once in a thousand years, a young and high position in charge of the million-strong northern army, invincible wherever the cold sword pointed, invincible and undefeatable!

With such a status, he was definitely worthy of Heather.

However, Heather had expressed her disapproval of this marriage several times, and there was no room for negotiation.

Heather sat by the bed in a daze, her mind blank.

Her eyes were slightly red. “So be it. It’s not like I don’t have suitors!” she shouted.

The old lady looked at her granddaughter and sighed. There were some words that she still refused to say in the end.

She hoped that she, Heather, would not go back on her word!

In the Neal family’s manor, Braydon returned to his room and found a marriage annulment agreement from the Sage family.

Since this marriage was not suitable, it would be good to put an end to it early.

The Sage family breaking off the engagement was no secret, and the news spread like wildfire.

The next morning, an important guest went to the Sage family manor. Grandma Sage was alarmed and went directly to the living room.

“Uncle Samson, Grandma will be here soon. Come, have some tea!” Harold Sage greeted him personally.

“Harold, don’t worry about it. Where’s Heather?”

Kingston Gadoury, a well-dressed young man with good facial features, could not help but ask where Heather was.
