Chapter 85

85 Poison of Seven Insects and Seven Herbs

Usually, when the Preston main team carried out a mission on the Preston mountains, they would publish an announcement through the Preston TV station about how wild beasts had injured people. This was a warning to ordinary people not to step into the Preston mountains and court death.

The people from the Preston main team could not possibly say that there were martial artists on the Preston mountains and that they should not come in.

Laura Quinn entered with a pink lunch box. “Braydon, it’s time to eat. Don’t watch TV anymore. I heard that some tourists went to the Preston mountains to play yesterday and met a wolf pack!”

“I don’t know if they’d encountered a wolf pack or not, but they had definitely encountered danger!” Braydon Neal opened the lunch box and started to eat.

Laura did not get the hidden meaning in her son’s words and asked softly, “Is the red bean porridge good?”

“It tastes good. Mom, did you make it?”

Braydon finished the porridge. It did not taste like the cooking of the kitchen, which meant that Laura had made the porridge herself.

But Lauran chuckled. “Someone sent it to me. Guess who?”

“Someone else gave it to you?” Braydon suddenly stood up; his eyes filled with anger.

This kind of extreme reaction came from the fact that he had suffered a loss!

In the past, in the northern territory, in order to prevent Braydon from growing, the enemies outside the borders had used all kinds of despicable means such as poisoning, assassination, and framing.

When Braydon was ten years old, he was almost poisoned to death by the poison of seven insects and seven herbs.

Later on, Braydon’s food and clothing were specially made in the northern army, and they went through layers of strict inspection.

In the end, in the Neal family, Laura had actually fed Braydon with food sent by others. She was really big-hearted.

She was really his biological mother!

One must know that many people secretly wanted Braydon dead!

Braydon glanced at the bottom of the bowl and sniffed. His face was frighteningly gloomy.

The rice had indeed been poisoned!

Previously, Braydon was distracted while watching the TV, and the food was sent by his mother.

Who would have thought that his mother would poison him when he was eating!

As a son, it was normal for Braydon to be relaxed when he returned to his own home. He did not think so much.

Laura put away the bowls and chopsticks and did not notice anything wrong.

“This is the red bean porridge that Heather specially made for you,” she said softly. “She misunderstood you when you went to the Sage family to give them money last time. She asked me to apologize to you on her behalf...”

Before she could finish her words, Braydon had turned around and thrown up all the food in his stomach into the trash can.

“What’s wrong, Braydon?” Laura was shocked.

“Braydon, you’ve gone too far!”

Heather Sage stood at the entrance of the villa. Her eyes were slightly red, and her tears could not stop falling like pearls from a broken string.

She turned around and left, looking as if she had been wronged.

Heather got up to make porridge before dawn. She knew that she had misunderstood Braydon and called him a despicable man on the day Kingston Gadoury proposed for her hand in marriage, so she came to apologize.

Braydon had just said that it was delicious, but in the next second, when he heard that she had made it, he immediately vomited.

This was simply too much!

Did she, Heather, make Braydon feel so disgusted?

Heather ran out of the Neal family’s manor and cried in the car.

Harold Sage was driving and waiting at the entrance. When he saw his younger sister crying as soon as she got into the car, he asked angrily, “Heather, what’s wrong? Did Braydon bully you?”

“Brother, Braydon is a bastard!” Heather was in tears.

She had never suffered such grievances in her life.

She thought that Braydon was still angry with her. Heather knew that she had misunderstood him that day. She had finally mustered the courage to come to apologize, but in the end, she had to suffer such humiliation.

Harold was instantly enraged. He had always protected his younger sister since she was young and never let her suffer any grievances.

In the end, she was bullied to this extent in the Neal family today.

Harold immediately unbuckled the safety belt and pushed the car door open. He said angrily, “Even if I have to have a fall out with the Neal family today, I’ll get justice for you!”

After he had finished speaking, Harold rushed into the entrance of the manor and said angrily, “Braydon, get out here!”

However, it was already too late for Braydon, who was in the villa, to spit out all the food.

Since someone dared to poison it, it meant that it was extremely toxic. For something to be able to kill a king level being, it would definitely kill the person.

Braydon tried to hold on, and traces of black lines appeared on his lips. He said coldly, “Get lost!”

Bang!

Harold pushed the door open and entered. “You’re a coward. If you don’t dare to come out, I’ll come in!”

However, the moment he entered the room.

“Close the door!” Braydon growled; his eyes filled with anger.

“You...”

Harold wanted to be angry, but he was not blind. He saw that Braydon’s face was pale, and he was obviously not in good spirits.

He decisively closed the door and said, “What happened to you?”

“Pfft!”

Braydon spat out a mouthful of blood.

The blood was black, and it was obvious that he had been poisoned.

...

“Braydon!” Laura cried out in panic, “I’ll call the doctor!”

“Mom, don’t go. Don’t open the door!”

Braydon had been on the battlefield for a long time and had experienced all kinds of storms. His thought process was different from ordinary people.

He grabbed his mother to calm her down. Since someone dared to poison him, it meant that there must be someone watching him in the dark.

Once they had confirmed that Braydon had been poisoned, they would definitely rush in and take the opportunity to kill him.

As for Laura and Harold, who were in the way, they would not be able to escape death either, so Braydon asked Harold to close the door.

As long as the people in the dark could not confirm that Braydon was poisoned, they would not dare to break in.

After all, the words ‘King Braydon’ were enough to intimidate them!

Looking around the world, how many warriors would dare to attack Braydon face to face?

Therefore, as long as the news of Braydon being poisoned was kept a secret, no martial artist would dare to attack the Neal family.

“Harold, leave the Neal family manor now and pretend that you didn’t see anything. Bring Heather back to the Sage family. No one will dare to touch you!” Braydon said decisively.

...

“Remember, if anyone tries to stop you, just tell them that I didn’t eat the breakfast that Heather sent and had thrown it into the trash can!

“Only by saying this can you and your sister live. As long as I don’t fall, no one will dare to touch you!

“No one would dare to touch your Sage family!

“No one would dare to touch Heather, do you understand?”

The veins on Braydon’s forehead were bulging, and his fingers were holding the chair, trying to suppress the poison in his body.

This was a poison that could kill a king!

Harold was not a child of an ordinary family. He was born into the wealthy Sage family. At a young age, he had shouldered the pressure of the Sage family corporation’s development and had experienced many ups and downs. At this moment, he could calmly understand what Braydon was saying.

Harold looked apologetic. “Braydon, I’m sorry. Heather would never have thought of poisoning the food that she sent. Please don’t misunderstand her!”

“Don’t have that look on your face. You will get Heather and yourself killed if you do this!” Braydon’s eyes were cold.

King Braydon, who grew up in the North since childhood, had a very sharp mind and could predict everything to the extreme.

Harold understood the logic behind it and said, “Take care, I will bring Heather here to apologize!”

“Don’t tell her about this unless you want her to live in guilt for the rest of her life!” Braydon’s eyes were very cold, as if he had no feelings.

Harold’s fingers trembled slightly as he looked at Braydon. He realized that the young man in front of him had to bear everything, including the misunderstanding.

He turned around and left the room, his face filled with anger.

Harold was indeed the son of a wealthy family. He was extremely scheming and shrewd. He pretended to be angry and said, “Braydon, you’re ruthless. Today, you humiliated my sister. From now on, the Neal and Sage families will never rest until one of us is dead!”

Harold left in anger after he had finished speaking.
