Chapter 1132: The Matters of the Elders
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
This att.i.tude made Lowell Neal sigh softly.
As the older brother, Braydon Neal led Skylar Neal into the courtyard of the Neal Mansion.
In the elegantly decorated cla.s.sical living room.
Lowell sat in the main seat, looked at his two nephews, and whispered, “Back then, your grandfather and I faked our deaths under the arrangement of your great-great-grandfather Beckett Neal. We, the descendants in Preston, are the last bloodline of the Neal family. Your great-great-grandfather had great expectations for us.”
“Did my parents know about this?”
Braydon’s expression remained calm, without any resentment, as if narrating something unrelated to himself.
Lowell remained silent for a long time, finally nodding slightly.
Did his parents know about this back then?
Only he was kept in the dark?
A hint of anger flashed in Braydon’s eyes.
Lowell whispered, “Your sister-in-law only found out later.”
“So, on that rainy night, you hid in the shadows and watched my mother being crushed by the truck!”
Braydon’s gaze turned icy.
The few relatives that Braydon cared about the most in his life ended up being the ones with schemes.
Even the seven-year-old Braydon was part of their scheme.
Lowell met Braydon’s gaze directly and whispered, “Back then, it was all arranged by your great-great-grandfather. Your grandfather and I could only accept it reluctantly. Your grandfather faked his death, and I faked my severe injuries. I fell into a coma for more than ten days. When I woke up, I was already on the South Pole Island. Later, I learned that you were sent to the northern territory.”
Lowell recounted all the events from that time.
Back then, their entire family had no choice but to accept the arrangement of Beckett, the great-great-grandfather.
Even if they did not want to do it, they had to do it.
There was simply no choice!
Braydon exhaled a heavy breath and asked softly, “Uncle Liam hid in Lamar City, and Father hid in Preston University. Was that also your arrangement?”
“For the matters of the previous generation, if you really want to know, I can tell you a little about it. Your father and fourth uncle have been hidden on the South Pole Island for more than ninety percent of the past ten years.”
Lowell revealed some information that Braydon was not aware of.
The South Pole Island was a hidden stronghold of the Northern Army, a place beyond Braydon’s reach.
Everything about this place was unfamiliar to Braydon.
The information revealed by his second uncle indicated that Louis Neal and Liam Neal were not ordinary individuals.
But if one were to think about it carefully, it seemed to make sense.
Don’t forget, the bloodline power within Braydon was inherited from his parents, inheriting the entire bloodline of the Neal family.
Braydon’s martial art talent and bloodline power were inherited from his parents.
His father, Louis, was definitely not a useless person.
Surely, he was not someone who had no martial arts talent.
The Neal family had never produced useless people!
Louis’s martial talent was definitely not low.
But why did they deliberately hide it from Braydon?
Lowell whispered, “Back then, you were only seven years old. Your great-great-grandfather went to great lengths to make us fake our deaths, avoid all external trivial matters, and settled us down on the South Pole Island. The hope was that matters related to us would not be known to the outside world.
“So, at the age of only seven, you were too young to keep a secret. We hid it from you, and there were some special reasons. We could only wait for you to come to the South Pole Island when you were an adult to know everything.”
Lowell spoke gently.
In the end, they were all elders, and they didn’t need to consider Braydon’s feelings for anything they did. Because they were elders, and Braydon was a junior!
Elders did things without explaining to juniors.
Young juniors just needed to pa.s.sively accept!
Although there was anger in Braydon’s heart, what else could he do?
The five people involved in planning back then.
One was his own grandfather.
One was his own father!
The remaining three were his uncles.
What could Braydon do?
Even if he was angry, what else could he do?
Would he go against the five elders?
Braydon said softly, “No wonder Grandma said something when she saw me, ‘Those who desire to accomplish great things can still be killed now.’ She has always known about your existence, right?”
“She and Grandpa don’t get along!”
Lowell revealed more information.
Whitney Jansky and Graham Neal’s relationship was not good.
These were all matters between the elders.
Braydon asked softly, “Where is Grandpa?”
“He went to 18th ruin. He will be back soon. I have arranged a place for you and Skylar…”
Lowell’s words were interrupted.
Braydon and Skylar stood up simultaneously.
“When Grandpa comes back, I will bring Skylar to visit again.”
Braydon stood up, preparing to leave.
This made Lowell say involuntarily, “Braydon, since you’re here, stay at home for a while. I have been worried about you for more than ten years. Now, there are many things I can’t tell you, but everything in the Neal family will be yours in the future. You are the eldest son of the eldest son, the direct grandson of the Neal family, and the heir of the Neal family!”
“If Aunt hears this, I’m afraid there will be resentment.”
While Braydon spoke, he looked outside the living room at Karen Jo, who was tending to some plants.
Karen, who had just seen Braydon and Skylar for the first time, couldn’t hide the deep vigilance in her eyes and the disgust on her face from Braydon.
The first meeting was filled with unexplainable hostility.
With Braydon’s intellect, it was not difficult to guess the reason.
Graham was one of the seventy-two giants of the South Pole Island, and the head of the entire Neal Mansion, exerting great influence on the South Pole Island.
Uncle Lowell accompanied Grandpa Graham all year round.
He was more like Grandpa’s successor.
In other words, Lowell’s child would be the third-generation leader and inheritor of the Neal Mansion.
The sudden arrival of Braydon and Skylar had posed a threat to her child, who was Karen’s.
But Karen was completely unaware. In the outside world, King Braydon, as long as he nodded, could ascend to the throne.
She also didn’t know how many powerful figures stood behind Braydon!
At this moment, Lowell said solemnly, “Since ancient times, there is order between elders and juniors. You are the direct grandson of the Neal family and will be the future head of the Neal family. This cannot be changed by anyone.”
Braydon shook his head gently and walked out of the living room.
He chose not to stay!
In this place, Skylar felt like an outsider.
Braydon also felt this way.
The two brothers were inherently aloof and proud, and they were also high-level figures in the Northern Army.
And the rule of the Northern Army was that the Northern Army’s sons, born in the world, would not avoid wind and rain, let alone depend on others.
Seeing this, Sapphire Neal followed and asked, “Braydon, Skylar, where are you going?”
“Find a place outside to stay.”
Braydon looked at Sapphire, a faint smile on his face.
Looking at her, Skylar spoke coldly, “If someone bullies you in the future, tell me, and I will annihilate their entire family!”
A very serious tone, a promise without any hint of joking.
Sapphire’s stunning face couldn’t help but gape at Skylar.
