Chapter 557: I’m Scared When You’re Like This!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
There were only four words.
This short sentence was filled with the qualities of an overlord.
Jordyn Quimby’s expression changed slightly, and his eyes revealed worry.
The commissioners belonged to the civil official section, so it was not surprising if they did not follow Braydon’s orders.
The five captains and five commanders would definitely not be absent.
The little fool and the others would definitely come.
The leaders of the dark division and the commissioners of the provinces might not.
Braydon only gave them two hours.
If these people were not here within two hours, Braydon would surely kill them!
At the same time, the capital made an urgent announcement.
This year’s national martial arts examination’s chief examiner was King Braydon!
All regions must cooperate fully.
This was the att.i.tude of the capital!
This meant that Braydon had the final say in this year’s martial arts exam.
Braydon had already said that all the martial arts examinations were suspended, and the results of the examinees were considered invalid.
What should he do next?
Next, Braydon had all the commissioners head to Quill.
Those who were absent would be severely punished.
The martial arts examination in the Hamptons had been completely suspended, and all the examinees’ results were invalid.
The examinees were all at a loss, not knowing what had happened.
Ginny blinked and ran over. She tugged at her brother’s clothes and shouted, “Big Brother!”
“Ginny, go play with Teacher Miranda!”
Hatcher Murphy picked up Ginny and handed her over to Miranda Stern.
Miranda held onto her hand and left the stage, not allowing the little girl to disturb Braydon.
It was 8:30 in the morning.
Braydon gave them two hours.
They had to be here before 10:30.
If the commissioners and leaders did not arrive by then, they would have to bear Braydon’s wrath.
Time pa.s.sed by.
Bentley Johnson’s face was covered in cold sweat. He belonged to the civil official section and knew that his colleagues all had the lofty and arrogant nature of scholars. How could they be willing to listen to the Northern King’s order?
Braydon was the leader of the hundred generals, so he was obviously the representative of the hundred generals.
The two sections of civil officials and generals had always been at loggerheads.
How could the provincial commissioners be willing to listen to orders?
There was also the dark division of each province, who had a deep conflict with the northern army a few years ago.
Many of the leaders of the dark divisions in each province were killed by the ruthless people of the Northern Army.
The relationship between the two sides was not harmonious!
Everyone knew.
So, would the leaders of the dark division in the provinces really listen to Braydon’s orders?
It might be a little difficult!
As the sun rose high in the sky, the temperature kept rising.
“What time is it?” Braydon asked.
“10:15!”
Sammy Dudley kept staring at the time.
There was only 15 minutes left before the deadline set by Braydon!
If they were not here in fifteen minutes, what should he do?
The effeminate youth, Harlan Jones, quietly appeared and said, “Commander, the commissioners, and the leaders of the dark division haven’t moved!”
This was confirmed by Harlan.
These people did not listen!
Then, what should he do?
Braydon slowly turned around, holding a token in his hand.
This token was the Northern King Token!
Seeing the token was like seeing Braydon!
The person who held the token could mobilize the ten legions of the Northern Army, the ten ruthless men, and millions of elites.
Was Braydon going to issue the Northern King’s killing order?
Once he did that, it would definitely be earth-shattering!
Those who were not present today were the commissioners of the 23 provinces.
Commissioners were all important officials in the palace, and their status was the same as Bentley.
There were more than 20 of them!
Could he kill all of them?
It was too absurd to do that!
The capital would not allow Braydon to do this.
And it was obvious that things had become complicated!
The commissioners had probably communicated with each other.
They were silent, ignoring Braydon’s words.
They were certain that Braydon would not dare to touch all of them, so they were fighting against each other.
At the moment, it was a confrontational situation.
The commissioners were unwilling to listen to the Northern King’s orders, and so were the leaders.
At this moment, Hatcher’s phone rang again.
After the call connected.
Dominic Lowe probed and said somewhat sneakily, “Northern King? Northern King, are you there?”
Why did this voice sound a little dodgy?
The older Dominic got, the more cunning he became. He was very cautious when dealing with the people of the Northern Army. He was worried that he would anger these little lunatics again.
In that case, he would have to hide in the sweet potato cellar again!
Suddenly.
Braydon’s smile was like a spring breeze as he said softly, “Duke Lowe, how nice of you to call me personally. Thank you for your concern!”
‘What the f*ck?”
Dominic was so angry that he wanted to hang up and run away.
Based on Dominic’s experience, the more polite a ruthless person like King Braydon was, the more he wanted to kill Dominic.
But now, Dominic could not hang up the phone.
He knew that once he hung up and let Braydon do whatever he wanted, he would cause a huge mess.
You could imagine how the Northern King and the commissioners would end up fighting.
That was equivalent to the hundred-generals section and the civil official section directly fighting.
If such a situation happened, it would be terrible!
There would probably be a huge mess.
So now that things had come to this, the capital was bound to intervene.
Dominic took a deep breath and said solemnly, “I’ve already learned the reason for what happened on your side. I just had a meeting with the representatives of the various aristocratic families in the capital half an hour ago!
“It’s about the martial arts examination. After the discussion, the aristocratic families have agreed to make a concession. Every year, one-third of the provincial martial arts examination quota will be given to children like Charles
Lansky!”
This was Dominic’s solution.
As for how he knew about the Hamptons provincial general examination, there was no need to think too much about it.
Dominic was duke of the palace. If he could not even get this bit of information, his position as duke would really be for nothing!
This was how the capital wanted to resolve the martial arts examination issue.
After Dominic finished speaking, he did not hear any sound from Braydon’s side. He could not help but feel guilty and probe, “Lord Northern King… are you listening?”
“Of course, I’m listening. Since Duke Lowe has already settled this matter, there’s no need for me to be a busybody!”
The temperature of the entire venue dropped by 30%.
The thousands of examinees and their families in the venue felt a bone-chilling chill.
All of this came from the terrifying killing intent of the white-robed youth on the high platform.
Sammy and Hatcher’s faces turned pale. They were so scared that they were about to cry!
What did Dominic, that old b.a.s.t.a.r.d, say to their commander?
Why was the commander so angry?
At this moment, Braydon was smiling brightly.
However, his body exuded a terrifying killing intent that seemed to be corporeal.
It almost scared them to tears!
This was clearly anger!
“Duke Lowe, do you have any other orders?” Braydon smiled lightly.
“Can… can we talk about this? I’m scared of you when you’re like this!” Dominic could feel that there was something wrong through the phone.
Braydon smiled. “Duke Lowe, you must be joking. I’ve already put away the Northern King Token!”
“Really? I don’t believe you! Let me see!” Dominic was doubtful.
In the next moment…
