107 Do Not Bully the People of the North
Braydon Neal did not care about the others, nor did he pull out the Northern King sword from his waist. Instead, he stood in front of Sully Cage with a willow branch in his hand.
“Your subordinate knows it well!” Sully knelt down and said in a low voice.
“Since you do know, you’ve violated the ironclad law of the northern territory. You’ve disgraced the name of the north!”
Braydon held the willow branch in his hand and slapped it hard.
Smack!
Sully’s black windbreaker turned into strips of cloth and instantly burst into pieces, fluttering in the wind. His skin and flesh were instantly split open, but the people of the north were tough. He did not make a sound.
Braydon’s second whip came down. “There are eight ironclad laws in the northern territory. A cold sword should not be stained with the blood of the innocent. You have openly committed such a crime and killed nearly 20 members of the Preston team. This is a capital crime!”
With a smacking sound, Sully’s skin and flesh split open once again, but he did not make a sound.
Braydon’s third whip landed. “You held a cold sword and held innocent people hostage. You deserve to die!”
The green willow branch had already turned blood red, and scarlet blood was dripping down from it.
The fact that a fellow citizen who had retired from the northern army had openly violated the ironclad law of Hansworth had completely angered Braydon.
Sully did not explain or say a word. He admitted to these major crimes and allowed Braydon to whip him.
The people around them were dumbfounded, and Zion Levin was also shocked. This was a vicious man who could not even be stopped by Steve Xavier, the leader of the Preston main team.
Now, he was actually willingly being punished.
Zion could not believe that the young man in white in front of him was the legendary King Braydon of the northern territory.
He was a top figure.
Braydon had come in person with unparalleled elegance.
“Take Sully Cage away!” Steve said.
“General!” Steve raised his head, his tiger-like eyes showing his unwillingness.
As a person of the north, he would never surrender and would rather die in battle!
Braydon glared at him, making Steve’s face turn pale. He broke out in a cold sweat and realized that he had said something wrong.
“It’s not up to you, the Preston team, to teach the people of the North a lesson!” Braydon was furious.
Steve knelt down on one knee. “I was wrong. Please punish me, Northern King!”
Today, not to mention Steve, even if Zayn Ziegler, the Commander-in-Chief of Central Hansworth, was here, he would not dare to take the people of the north away in the face of the angry King Braydon.
Even though Sully had already left the northern territory, once they had entered the northern territory, they would be a citizen of the north for life.
This was a permanent mark that could not be erased.
The Northern King had personally come to this place. Even if his people had made a huge mistake, it was not up to others to teach them a lesson.
Braydon stood tall and protected everyone in the northern territory.
His protectiveness was well known.
The members of the Preston team around them kept quiet out of fear. No one dared to make a sound.
Braydon held the willow branch in his hand, and it once again fell on Sully’s body. The skin and flesh on his back were torn open, making it hard for people to look at him. He said coldly, “You’ve committed three serious crimes. Even death can’t wash away your crimes!”
“I plead guilty. In front of the general, I, Sully Cage, admit my mistake. To be able to die in the general’s hands, I have no regrets in this life. I am willing to enter the northern territory again in my next life, to be a person of the north in life, to be a soul of the north in death, and to be a soldier under the general’s command again!”
Sully was once a man of the north. He would not surrender to anyone.
Today, Braydon had come in person. Sully was willing to die under the Northern King’s sword without any regrets!
Braydon was so angry that he laughed. “Do you know the eight ironclad laws of the northern territory? The cold sword should not be stained with the blood of my fellow comrades. Since the day the Northern King sword in my hand was forged, it has not been stained with the blood of my fellow comrades. You are forcing me to break the ironclad law!”
“This subordinate does not dare!”
Sully raised his head. He knew what he had to do and pulled out the black cold sword that was stuck in the ground.
It was his sword.
“Stinky Braydon, be careful!” Heather Sage shouted.
However, Braydon was unyielding. He just stood there without any defense, but would Sully hurt him?
It was impossible!
This cold Sword would never hurt Braydon in this life.
Sully placed the blade on his neck, his determined face revealing a trace of an innocent smile as he softly said, “General, can I ask you for a favor?”
“Speak!” Braydon looked at him. He was going to send him on his way personally today.
This was cruel to Braydon, who valued relationships and loyalty.
“Can you bring my corpse back to the north? I want to be buried under Mount Bliz!” Sully said hoarsely.
His eyes were filled with anticipation after he finished his request.
Mount Bliz was Braydon’s territory!
At the foot of the mountain, only those who died in battle could be buried there.
That was the place where heroic souls rested.
Sully had also once protected the mountains and rivers for thousands of miles. He had fended off foreign enemies in the north, guarded the gates of the country, fought bloody battles without retreating, and killed over a hundred enemies.
He was qualified to make this request.
Braydon’s fingers trembled slightly, and his voice was a little hoarse. “Request granted!”
“Sully thanks the general for making an exception. I have no regrets in my life to be able to enter the north. I wish the general a long life of two thousand years, to stand tall in the north and protect the peace of Hansworth for a thousand years. I pray that Hansworth will prosper forever, and that the mountains and rivers will last forever!”
This was Sully’s dying wish.
He did not have any last words. His only wish was to be buried in Mount Bliz after death.
Sully then used the cold sword to cut his own throat. Fresh blood flowed out as he apologized with his death.
His body did not fall even after death. His tiger eyes did not close, and his cold sword did not leave his hand. This was a man of the north!
Steve gently helped him down, a touch of regret flashing in his eyes. What a pity for such a man!
Braydon took off his gold gilded Qilin robe and threw it over to cover Sully’s body.
The gilded Qilin painting was like a golden saint beast, roaring and stomping its hooves. Its king’s aura shocked everyone.
Sully could rest in peace with his corpse wrapped in the Qilin robe.
“Escort him back to the northern territory and bury him in Mount Bliz!” Braydon said coldly.
“Understood!” Logan Hall and the others stepped forward and collected Sully’s corpse.
What remained was the cold sword. Braydon looked at it for a long time.
Braydon handed it over. “Bury this cold sword with him. Why was he being pursued by the special operations team?”
“Sully Cage is from Lamar city. He retired from the northern region a year ago and rejected the Lamar team’s recruitment offer. He returned to his hometown to farm in peace, saying that he was tired of fighting and killing martial artists.”
Steve was familiar with the file and explained the reason.
But Braydon frowned and asked about what happened after.
Steve did not dare to hide the truth. “After Sully Cage returned to his hometown, he went to a blind date set up by the matchmakers there and registered for his marriage half a year ago. The two of them were newly married, and they were living quite a good life. Later, their hometown was demolished. The developer negotiated for a few months without any results, so they decided to demolish it by force…”
Steve did not dare to continue.
He was afraid that the Northern King would fly into a rage!
Braydon’s eyes were cold. Since he was personally involved in this matter, he had to understand what had happened.
Sully was a person of the north, so he should not bear a bad reputation and die with grievances.
Sully had killed members of the Preston team. He had paid for his crime with his life. His debt had been paid off!
However, as for what others owed Sully, Braydon would help him get it back.
Steve said in a low voice, “The demolition team went to the village. Sully was not home at noon that day. He went to the county to buy some tonics for his pregnant wife. His wife happened to be home and was taking a nap at home at noon. No one knew that there was someone in the house. The bulldozer demolished the house and only stopped when she had died.”
There was no need for Steve to say anything. Sully’s new wife had died. It was a corpse, but two lives. One was an unborn child.
Even though Sully had returned to his home, he was still a man of the north!
On the day he came back, he killed the leader in charge of the demolition, and then he was wanted by the Lamar team.
It was a great taboo for martial artists to hurt people.
Braydon was angry. “Does the special operations team do things without distinguishing between right and wrong? Do you think the people of the north are weak and easy to bully?”
