234 Visiting the Smiths at Night
After Braydon Neal gave the order.
Steve Xavier led his troops and left the market, heading toward the Smith family’s place.
After the Preston main team left, the place was in a mess.
The hooligans present were already scared out of their wits.
The stall owners looked at the white-robed young man with reverence and watched him leave. They were curious about his ident.i.ty. He did not even put Kolt Smith in his eyes. He was definitely a big shot in Preston.
At the entrance of the Smith family manor, the moon was like a plate, and the moonlight was like a silver veil, covering the entire land.
A slovenly old man was holding a sheathed sword in his arms. He stood quietly at the door as if he was waiting for someone to arrive.
He was Old Man Zito, who had arrived at the Smith family manor first.
The strange situation here attracted the attention of Keaton Smith, the head of the Smith family. He was wearing a black coat as he led the Smith family to the entrance of the manor.
Keaton was surprised. “Old sir, what advice do you have for visiting the Smith family at night?”
“The Smith family has touched someone they shouldn’t have!”
Old Man Zito stood in front of the door and said softly.
Steve and the members of the Preston main team had all arrived, and their bodies were filled with a murderous aura.
“Team Leader Xavier, what are you…” Keaton was shocked.
“We have been ordered to lock down the Smith family. Please go back inside. All members of the Smith family will stay at home tonight for questioning. Those who leave without permission will be killed on the spot!”
Steve’s stance was firm. He turned around and ordered, “Seal the Smith family!”
“Yes, sir!”
Logan Hall and the other members of the Preston main team entered the Smith family manor.
Keaton was shocked. The seven great families of Preston were all under the jurisdiction of the Preston main team.
But these years, the Smith family had always been well-behaved. Even if there were martial artists in the family, they did not dare to ignore the ironclad rules of the Preston main team.
Even if they were doing business, the Preston main team would not interfere in such matters.
If a businessman broke the law, the relevant departments would naturally take care of him.
The Preston main team only cared about the martial artists in the Preston area and handled unnatural incidents.
Now that the Preston main team had moved out, and they had sealed off the Smith family’s manor, this made Keaton panic. Once they were targeted by the Preston main team, even if they did not die, they would lose a layer of skin.
At this moment, he gritted his teeth and said, “Go and take out the treasured parasol flower!”
It was very rare for a parasol tree to bloom.
A half-spiritual herb sealed in a jade box was quietly taken out. It was obviously something that the Smith family had kept for a long time.
Keaton handed it over with both hands. “Team Leader Xavier, please forgive us if we have offended you in any way. To be fair, we have martial artists in the family, but we have always followed the rules of the Preston main team!”
If it was on a normal day.
Steve might just take this rare half-spiritual herb and call it a day.
Unfortunately, how could he, Steve Xavier, dare to take this half-spiritual herb now!
The Smith family’s warriors had kidnapped the Northern King’s fiancée.
They were simply courting death!
Steve’s refusal to accept this precious gift made Keaton even more shocked. He realized that someone in the Smith family had caused a huge disaster!
With such a huge disaster, even Steve, the leader of the Preston main team, did not dare to show favoritism.
Keaton panicked even more. He humbled himself and begged, “Team Leader Xavier, if the Smith family has done anything wrong, please let us know. I’ll have someone send this half-spiritual herb to your team’s base!”
“Kolt Smith is a disciple of the Smith family, right?”
Steve reminded him.
Keaton was shocked. Of course, he knew Kolt Smith. He was a seventh-level martial artist!
Unfortunately, he was a branch descendant of the Smith family and could only be sent out to take charge of some of the family’s businesses.
Was he the one who had caused the disaster?
Keaton wanted to explain when Steve continued speaking.
“If the Smith family doesn’t want to be wiped out tonight,” Steve said indifferently, “Master Smith, you should contact him quickly and ask him to bring back the eldest daughter of the Sage family who was kidnapped today!”
“Miss Sage? Heather Sage!”
Keaton was stunned and came back to his senses.
He was instantly stunned. He did not expect that it was Kolt Smith, that b.a.s.t.a.r.d, who actually dared to kidnap the Sage family’s beloved daughter.
These juniors were getting more and more unruly.
No matter how fierce the compet.i.tion among the seven great families was, the families could not be harmed.
This was the rule!
This was a rule acknowledged by the older generation, but the younger generation actually treated it as if it did not exist.
Old Master Smith and Old Madam Sage were sworn siblings.
Kolt Smith had gone too far!
What made Keaton even more shocked was that the Sage family’s power was too great. They could actually invite the entire Preston main team to come forward.
Steve saw through his thoughts and frowned. “There’s no need to hesitate. The person behind Miss Heather Sage can slaughter the entire Preston city with just a word. If she is hurt tonight, your whole family will be implicated!”
This sentence made Keaton’s face turn pale!
He believed what Steve had said.
Because the leader of the Preston main team did not have to lie to him.
Now that Steve had led his troops to surround the Smith family, it was obvious that he was waiting for that important figure to descend.
Just at this moment, a white pigeon flew up from the Smith family manor.
Old Man Zito, an unfathomable figure, glanced over, and with a flick of his finger, an invisible force was released a hundred meters away!
Whoosh!
A formless ripple caused the messenger pigeon in the sky to explode, turning into a cloud of blood mist.
This scene made everyone’s pupils shrink.
Even Steve was shocked. He really did not expect that the unremarkable old man beside the Northern King was actually a king level character!
Keaton’s eyes were filled with fear. “Force release, king-level technique?!”
This was a king-level figure!
Martial artists at the War G.o.d level were like ants in front of such people.
Although the Smith family was a wealthy family in the secular world, and they had martial artists, but they were not considered a true aristocratic family.
In other words, this kind of family was transitioning into an aristocratic family.
If the family was filled with martial artists, then it could become an aristocratic family!
Aristocratic families were built over time. The birth of powerful martial artists was seen as a foundation to nurture the next generation of young people to quickly become martial artists.
With the acc.u.mulation of generations, if one was lucky enough to obtain a profound ancient martial arts technique and produce a king-level martial artist, they could become a powerful family!
Unfortunately, this foundation that required hundreds of years to acc.u.mulate could not be formed overnight.
However, it did not prevent them from knowing about martial artists.
Everyone in the Smith family turned pale!
A king showing off and killing a white pigeon was clearly a form of intimidation!
They were telling the Smith family that tonight, no one in this manor would be able to escape.
Keaton was already terrified and hurriedly contacted his Smith family’s descendant, Kolt Smith.
However, in this moonlit night, a young man dressed in white stepped on a flying leaf and flew across the sky. He stood with his hands behind his back and stood at the entrance of the Smith family manor.
He was handsome; a young man with red lips and white teeth!
His starry eyes were bright as he stood under the bright moon like a young king.
The Northern King was finally here!
“Young Master!” Old Man Zito hugged his sword and smiled foolishly.
“Members of the Preston main team greet Your Highness the Northern King!”
Steve bowed and led the members of the Preston main team to salute.
“Braydon Neal?” Only the Smith family disciples were shocked.
Was this not the eldest young master of the Neal family, Braydon Neal, whom they were familiar with!
Braydon was dressed in a snow-white robe. His thin lips moved slightly as he smiled faintly. “Where is Heather?”
His soft voice was filled with killing intent!
Tonight, it would be best if Heather Sage was safe. If anything were to happen to her, he would destroy the whole Smith family!
