The Strongest War God - Chapter 64
64 The Central Plains Token!
The middle-aged man next to him, Samson Gadoury, was his father, the chairman of Lamar Aluminum Corporation. It was a company under his name. As of yesterday, its market value was 40 billion!
He was undoubtedly a big shot in the production industry!
When Harold Sage went to the Neal family to find Braydon Neal to break off the engagement, the Gadoury family from Lamar city was the one adding fuel to the fire.
Harold had already contacted the Gadoury family, and the investor behind him was also Lamar Aluminum Corporation.
!!
Harold had already contacted the father and son of the Gadoury family when Heather Sage and Braydon called off their engagement yesterday. Therefore, they had come to ask for her hand in marriage.
“Chairman Samson, welcome!” Old lady Sage smiled kindly. “It’s an honor for the Sage family to have you here!”
“The honor is ours, Madam Sage. When my father was still alive, he held you in high regard and said that you were as strong as a man when you were young!”
Samson did not dare to act arrogantly. He went forward and helped the old lady to sit at the head seat.
“Hello, Grandma Sage!” Kingston Gadoury greeted her politely.
“What a handsome young man you are. The Gadoury family is also thriving!” Old lady Sage smiled lovingly.
“Grandma, Kingston loves Heather,” Harold reminded her. “So, Uncle Samson is here to ask for her hand in marriage!”
“Madam Sage, our families have been friends for decades, and we know each other’s background. Heather is a famous talented woman in Preston, but my good-for-nothing son is trying to get close to her!” Samson said.
“Samson, you must be joking. Kingston is young and promising. Your Gadoury family’s teaching style is one of the best in Lamar city. However, we have to ask for Heather’s opinion on this matter!” Old lady Sage said politely.
“Yes, young people nowadays advocate freedom to love. It depends on how the two young people get along!”
With that, Samson turned around and waved his hand.
The bodyguards in black outside the door were carrying six large boxes.
Samson handed over a list with both hands and said, “Madam Sage, this is Kingston’s gift to Heather!”
Old lady Sage took it and flipped it open. She was shocked.
Two hundred million in cash!
A Phoenix coronet and a set of robes.
One hundred and sixty-six sets of gold and silver jewelry.
This was clearly a betrothal gift, and it was a big betrothal gift.
As expected of the big boss of Lamar city’s production industry. His family owned a mine, and he was very generous.
In fact, the biggest betrothal gift was the big project that the Sage family and the Gadoury family had agreed to finance. If it was successful, it would definitely revive the Sage family.
Grandma Sage had no intention to accept this proposal. She said that it was up to Heather’s decision, but what it meant was that she would reject the Gadoury family after today.
Otherwise, Heather would be engaged to the Gadoury family today after she had just called off her engagement with Braydon last night.
How would outsiders view the Sage family if that were to happen?
Could it be that the Sage family was so desperate that they would do anything to sell off the daughter in their family?
If they were to accept the proposal, how would that look for Braydon?
The old lady was deep in thought.
“Uncle Samson, Kingston,” Harold said, “you must be tired after a day’s journey. Let’s get you situated!”
However, just as he had finished speaking…
An old butler entered the room, sweating profusely. “There’s an important guest outside!”
“Who is it?” Harold furrowed his brows.
A curly-bearded man in casual clothes strode forward and said, “It is I, Zayn Ziegler!”
Whoosh!
Everyone looked at the door in unison.
Samson frowned slightly. He seemed to have heard of this name before, but it was too long ago, so he could not quite remember.
Old lady Sage stood up with the help of her walking stick and cupped her hands. “So, it’s Commander Ziegler. Please come in. Someone serve some tea!”
“No need to trouble yourself. Please accept this central plains token, Madam!”
Zayn’s fingers moved, and he threw out a black card.
It was three inches long, thirty centimeters wide, and as thin as a cicada’s wing!
On the front was a cold sword, and on the back was the map of the three provinces of the central plains.
Old lady Sage’s face turned pale, and she almost fell to the ground.
Kingston caught the token, flipped it over, and frowned, “What is it? There’s nothing special about it!”
Smack!
“Put it down!”
Samson slapped Kingston’s face in fear, asking him to put down the token of the central plains.
He was wondering who Zayn Ziegler was, but when he heard how old lady Sage addressed Zayn, he immediately remembered something his father had mentioned ten years ago.
This man was Zayn Ziegler, the Commander of Central Hansworth main team!
The central plains token could only be issued by the previous commanders!
Once the token had been given, all the special operations teams in the three provinces of the central plains would go all out to kill all who were related, be it direct descendants or branches of the family.
If they accepted this token, the entire Sage family would not be able to live.
Samson was stunned.
“Grandma, what’s wrong?” Harold stepped forward to help her up.
“Don’t worry about me, call Braydon!” Old lady Sage said as she regained her senses.
He did not ask Zayn for help. He knew that the man in front of him was angry. They were lucky that he did not attack them.
Harold furrowed his brows and refused to make the call.
Because Braydon had just broken off his engagement with Heather, it was not appropriate for him to appear on this occasion. It would put Samson in an awkward situation.
“I’ll do it!” Heather said calmly at the door.
“Heather!” Kingston’s eyes lit up.
Heather entered the living room and looked at Zayn, asking him, “Did Braydon send you here?”
Zayn’s eyes were cold, and he did not answer.
However, Heather said disappointedly, “He’s no different from a hedonistic son of a rich family. Did the marriage annulment anger him? He’s using the special forces to bully my grandmother. What’s the difference between him and a scumbag?”
After that, she took out her phone and called Braydon.
After the call was connected.
Before Heather could speak, at the entrance of the Sage family manor.
“I’m here!” Braydon entered the door.
After Zayn broke into the Sage family’s house, Braydon had already received the news and strode in.
Zayn turned around and cupped his hands. “Northern King!”
“Get out!”
Braydon did not look at him. With his hands behind his back, his tone was frighteningly cold.
Zayn lowered his head and left the room.
Braydon walked forward and took the token of the central plains from Heather. His thin lips moved slightly. “I, Braydon Neal, will take this central plains token. All the members of the three provinces of the central plains can come and kill me with their cold swords!”
“This subordinate wouldn’t dare!”
Whoosh!
Zayn knelt down on one knee, cold sweat running down his face.
Old lady Sage was old and weak. Her face was frighteningly pale. Her heart was not in a good condition to begin with. She sat on the chair for a long time, unable to recover.
Heather was disappointed. “Braydon, not only are you underhanded, but you’re also a hypocrite. Without your orders, who can make someone like Zayn Ziegler listen to them?
“You’ve put on such a show today. Do you think I’m a three-year-old child that’s easy to fool?
“I’m telling you, if anything happens to Grandma, I’ll spend my entire life fighting you to the death!
“Scumbag!”
Whoosh!
Heather raised her fair left hand, and it was about to touch Braydon’s cheek.
But she was just a normal person, no matter how fast she was, could she be faster than the king-level Braydon?
Could she be faster than Zayn Ziegler, the Commander of Central Hansworth?
In an instant, Zayn pulled out the sword from his waist and pointed it at Heather’s neck. His murderous aura shocked everyone.
If Heather dared to do anything, Zayn would kill her with one strike!
No one in the world dared to insult King Braydon!
“Heather, stop!” Old lady Sage shouted in anger.
