If it were someone else who came to Braydon Neal to ask for Barrett Yearwood, he would have died.
Without thinking, Braydon would definitely let him bring back a dead person.
But today, it was Hendrix Bailey who was here.
If things got messed up, Hendrix would definitely be punished when he returned to the capital.
Now that the Northern King sword was back in its sheath, it meant that this matter was over.
Hendrix scratched his head and said, “Brother, thank you!””
“It’s not worth it for you to be punished for him!”
Braydon smiled lightly.
“Brother,” Tobey Lapras said sneakily, “how about I secretly kill this old thing on the way back?”
“You sure you able to kill a pinnacle?”
Braydon smiled faintly.
Tobey was dumbfounded. “This old guy is a pinnacle?”
Syrus Yanagi and Hendrix were also shocked. They too could not confirm this.
Braydon’s words made Tobey dispel his sneaky thoughts.
If they wanted to kill Barrett Yearwood tonight, it could only be done by Braydon.
If Tobey and the others secretly killed Barrett on the road back to the capital, they were bound to be severely punished.
In Braydon’s eyes, this was not worth it at all!
If Braydon had made a move and killed Barrett…
The capital would not say anything!
Barrett slowly walked out of the house and said softly, “Young Master, I’ll return to the capital now!”
“With your crippled body, returning to the capital won’t be as comfortable as staying in this small village.”
What Braydon said had a hidden meaning behind it.
Fifty years ago, Barrett was blind, but he still suppressed the powerful families of the capital like dogs.
Now that he was back in the capital.
The powerful and aristocratic families would never allow this black-robed prime minister to regain power.
It was very likely that they would secretly make a move and kill Barrett.
Barrett said slowly, “Although I am crippled, I dare not forget the country. Young Master, you don’t have to worry that I have evil intentions. I don’t have much time left. Young Master, you will know the purpose of my return in ten days!”
After he finished speaking.
This black-robed prime minister left with Hendrix.
Braydon’s deep eyes watched the hunchbacked old man leave.
“Brother, Tobey and I should be heading back now,” Syrus said softly.
Braydon stood in the courtyard and had Tobey and the others leave on their own.
The four of them followed Barrett to the capital.
With these four experts accompanying him, would they be able to protect Barrett in the capital?
It was absolutely impossible!
The foundation of the powerful and aristocratic families was not that simple.
After everyone left.
Old Man Zito, who was beside Braydon, could not help but say, “I feel that the prime minister is still concerned about Hansworth.”
“Whether that is true or not, we will know in ten days’ time during my official rite ceremony.”
Braydon left the village in a flash.
Old Man Zito was stunned. He thought that Braydon would order a search of the entire village.
However, he did not him expect to leave just like that.
Braydon did not order a search because he knew that even if they searched the village, they would not be able to find anything.
A person like Barrett would do things flawlessly. How could he leave any clues behind?
That would be wishful thinking.
In the Neal family manor in Preston.
When Braydon returned home, the sky was already getting brighter.
Zayn Ziegler and Logan Hall had not slept for the entire night. When they noticed the commotion outside, they stood up and greeted, “Commander!”
“Where’s Ginny?”
Braydon knew that the martial arts exam in Preston had been interrupted.
“Actually, before Soren Sage arrived, the martial arts examination was already nearing its end. Ginny was protected by Miranda Stern, and they are already headed to the provincial capital.”
This was the rule of the martial arts examination.
First, they would select city-level geniuses from third-tier and fourth-tier cities and send them to provincial cities.
In a province, there were ten to twenty cities. All the young geniuses were gathered in the provincial capital.
The difficulty of the martial arts examination would rise sharply.
This was so that they could select outstanding examinees!
However, they would not be immediately sent to the capital.
Because they still had to go through the three provincial examinations!
The three provinces of the Central Plains were all under the jurisdiction of the Central Hansworth main team. This was the last general examination.
It was commonly known as the Three Provincial General Examination.
The elites of the three provinces were gathered in the Central Hansworth main team where the best and the worst would be selected. They would submit the name list to the capital, and then the Central Plains imperial guards would escort this batch of examinees for the martial arts examination in the capital.
Every student would have a special record.
At that time, none of them could be left out.
No matter what the reason was, even if you suddenly died on the spot, your corpse would still have to be transported to the capital for confirmation.
Everyone knew that the examinations like the college entrance examination were extremely strict.
The martial arts examination was also very strict.
Examinees who took the theory examination could apply for the university they liked.
And the examinees of the martial arts examination had a much greater responsibility.
In every martial arts examination, those who performed well would be recruited by the three armies, nine departments, and twenty-four divisions.
It was just like being an official in the court!
Of course, the younger geniuses would be sent to the eight institutions to study.
The graduates of the eight institutions were people that the three armies, nine departments, and twenty-four divisions would fight for.
Every year, the graduates were selected first by the three armies, followed by the nine departments, and finally the twenty-four divisions.
This was the rule!
If the nine departments were not happy about it, would they dare to go against the Gray Wolf army or the northern army?
No matter how bold they were, they would not dare to snatch someone from the three armies.
There were also the twenty-four divisions, whose status was second only to the nine departments. They would take the leftovers.
Every year’s martial arts examination was extremely important!
“The Sanguine Division sent a message saying that Ginny has been accepted into the Sanguine Youth Institution in advance. Please rest assured, Lord Northern King,” Zayn said in a low voice.
“Tell Sammy to look after Ginny. Don’t disturb me for the next three days unless it’s important!”
Braydon needed to recuperate for the next few days.
The injuries in his body could not be delayed any longer. His official rite ceremony was imminent.
If he were to bear the fate of the country with his injured body, it would mean certain death!
Zayn noted down his words and secretly ordered the imperial guards to be on high alert.
Braydon was going into seclusion to recuperate and could not be disturbed by outsiders.
In the next three days.
Xana Thomas came to Braydon, but was tricked by Zayn into going to the practice room to learn ancient martial arts.
This girl had been rejected during the Preston martial arts examinations.
There was nothing she could do. Her foundation was too weak. She was even inferior to Heather Sage!
Joseph Thomas and Heather Sage went to the provincial capital to take the provincial martial arts examination.
During this period of time, Xandra Milton and Hugo Skeeter came twice. They were all for the company.
Hugo’s anti-gravity device had already begun to enter the market in large quantities.
The biggest partners were the major shipping companies. They installed anti-gravity devices on the major cargo ships and were extremely happy about it.
At present, there were getting more and more partners. Hugo came to Braydon to expand the factory to increase production.
Another thing was that all the major international companies had come to Preston to discuss cooperation.
In the end, they were settled in the Golden Goblet.
Hugo could not make the decision on his own.
He was very clear about his commander’s personality. If he wanted to cooperate with a foreign giant company, he had to get Braydon’s approval.
Xandra also had some matters Braydon had to attend to.
She was managing even more companies, such as the exploration company, Neal Investment Co., Ltd., the pharmaceutical company, Neal Cyber Security Co., Ltd., and so on.
There were quite a few of them!
