Chapter 1131: Second Uncle Lowell Neal
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The martial artists moving in the northern region had clearly reduced a lot.
The environment here seemed very quiet.
Sapphire Neal whispered, “The northern part of the South Pole Island is recognized as the living area of prominent figures. Ordinary martial artists wouldn’t come and dare not come. Many places are also inaccessible. So, the flow of people here is naturally much less than the bustling streets outside.”
As she spoke, the procession of a thousand people behind the carriage, led by a burly man, respectfully said, “Miss Sapphire, we’ve arrived home!”
It was a grand and imposing vintage mansion, occupying an area that unmistakably matched the specifications of an estate.
In the inch-by-inch land of the South Pole Island, owning an estate covering hundreds of acres was undoubtedly a sign of a heavyweight presence.
As the carriage arrived at the entrance, under the ‘Neal Mansion’ plaque, the dark red gates were tightly closed.
On either side of the main gate were four side doors.
The side doors quietly opened, and a n.o.blewoman walked out.
She was impeccably maintained, and her appearance resembled Sapphire, looking like sisters.
With an air of authority, she said, “Is the young miss back home?”
“Madam, the young miss and the two young masters have returned!”
The burly man stepped forward and reported.
The n.o.blewoman’s face turned cold, saying, “What two young masters? In this mansion, there is only one young master, and that is Jayven!”
This cold statement was not intended for the burly man but seemed more directed at the two brothers inside the carriage!
Inside the carriage, when Skylar Neal heard this, he silently put on his ghost-face mask and calmly said, “Brother, it seems that she doesn’t welcome us.”
“Whether she welcomes us or not, we should go in and take a look. If Grandfather is still alive, no matter what he’s doing, we should pay our respects to the elder.”
Braydon Neal lightly smiled.
Skylar calmly said, “If Grandfather is no longer the same as before, I’ll protect you and take you away with me.”
“Silly little one, what are you thinking!”
Braydon chuckled, raising his hand to tousle Skylar’s silver hair.
In Braydon’s memory, he vaguely remembered how his grandfather, Graham Neal, doted on him since childhood.
Skylar may not have seen Grandfather Graham, but Braydon had received love from him.
So, the two brothers got off the carriage.
Sapphire walked toward the n.o.blewoman and whispered, “Mother, these are Braydon and Skylar.”
“Come, I’ll have someone give you a bath and get you a change of clothes first before meeting Father. Don’t look dirty and offend Father.”
The n.o.blewoman, Karen Jo, said condescendingly.
Braydon remained calm, paying no attention to her, and walked toward the side door.
Skylar grabbed his brother, solemnly saying, “Braydon, in the Northern Army, no matter where the king goes, whoever doesn’t open the main gate to welcome you is disrespectful. When arriving in foreign lands, we are welcomed with the national etiquette. Anyone who dares to slight the commander of the Northern Army will be punished!”
Braydon gently shook his head, urging Skylar not to worry about such trivial matters.
He just wanted to see Grandfather Graham!
But Skylar clenched his fist and said in a low voice, “She insulted you, and you don’t mind. But I mind. If Jonah and the others were here, they would agree with me. Insulting the commander of the Northern Army, by law, deserves death!”
Swoosh!
Skylar drew the cold sword from his waist, pointing it at the n.o.blewoman Karen with cold and murderous eyes.
No one knew how much the sons of the Northern Army cared about honor!
Their honor in Northern Army was earned with the blood of countless compatriots!
Many iron-blooded martial artists would rather die in battle than let the honor of Northern Army be insulted in the slightest.
And who was Braydon?
He was the Northern King.
The commander of the Northern Army!
If the commander was insulted, it was an insult to the entire Northern Army.
Therefore, today, Skylar would absolutely not agree with Braydon entering the Neal Mansion through the side door.
Sapphire exclaimed, “Skylar, what are you doing!”
“You country b.u.mpkin! How dare you point a sword at me!”
Karen’s face turned red with anger.
Braydon frowned and said, “Skylar, put away the sword!”
“Braydon!”
Skylar was reluctant.
Braydon looked at him without saying anything.
Skylar was unwilling, but he sheathed the sword.
This annoyed Karen, who coldly snorted, “Opening the side door for you is already giving you face.”
“We, the two brothers, are just here today to visit Grandfather. You must our elder. Skylar is the younger brother I’ve protected since childhood. Whether he understands manners or not is none of your business!”
Braydon’s protective instinct was well known among Hansworth martial artists.
His eyes showed a hint of sternness, enveloping Karen.
Swish!
Karen’s face turned pale, taking several steps back, feeling the chilling intent from Braydon’s eyes.
Annoying Braydon might lead to him actually using the sword!
Braydon stepped back, looked at the plaque, and roared, “Neal family’s eldest son, Braydon Neal, and younger brother, Skylar Neal, are here to visit Grandfather!”
The voice echoed throughout the mansion.
Braydon spoke up, making it clear that they were here just to visit Graham, without any other intentions.
As for Karen’s provocations, Braydon completely ignored them.
This woman might indeed be Braydon’s elder.
Braydon had no intention of directly confronting her. After his voice echoed, from deep within the Neal Mansion, a hearty voice rang out, “Haha, is that you, Braydon?”
As the words fell, a robust man approached, opening the dark red gate.
He wore a white suit, had neatly groomed short hair, and tiger-like eyes radiating authority.
Braydon, seeing him, showed a hint of surprise and disbelief.
“Uncle Lowell!”
Braydon called out hoa.r.s.ely.
Karen restrained herself and said softly, “Lowell!”
“Father!”
Sapphire spoke softly.
The family of three’s ident.i.ties were presented instantly before Braydon.
Only Skylar, wearing the ghost-face mask, stood quietly beside his brother, not saying a word.
In Skylar’s heart, these three people were not yet considered family!
From childhood to adulthood, Skylar had been taken care of by his older brother, Braydon.
The time Braydon spent accompanying his younger brother exceeded that of his father, Lior Neal.
Lowell Neal’s eyes reddened, unable to resist nodding. “Braydon, you are all grown up!”
“Uncle Lowell, why did you and Grandfather fake your deaths back then?” Braydon directly asked his grandfather and second uncle why they did that.
To this, Lowell replied, “Let’s talk inside. Is he Lior’s son?”
“He is Uncle Lior’s child, named Skylar.”
Braydon introduced, whispering, “Skylar, take off the mask and let Uncle Lowell see your face.”
“No!”
Skylar was very stubborn, not wanting to take off his ghost-face mask.
He did not want to reveal his true face.
It showed that in his heart, he had not accepted these relatives.
Lowell didn’t mind and said, “It’s okay. What matters is he is here. Let’s go home.”
“My home is in the north!”
Skylar was very stubborn.
His home was in the north, not in Preston, and certainly not on this South Pole Island.
