120 The Imperial Guards Make Their Move and Purge Preston
After the northern imperial guards cleaned up the city, the capital was still as prosperous as before. No one knew how many rats had died.
Braydon Neal stood with his hands behind his back. “Go back and tell Cole that all the generals of the north are not allowed to leave without my permission!”
“Yes, Sir!” All the imperial guards of the north disappeared and rushed to the morthern territory.
Scott Lionel and the other national doctors said guiltily before they left, “General, we…”
“Go back!” Braydon waved his hand and did not blame them too much. He asked the twelve of them to go back with the imperial guards.
The Neal family returned to peace.
“Brother Braydon, you said that you’d take me out to play after I’ve recovered.” Ginny Neal raised her head and spoke.
“Where do you want to go?” Heather Sage held her hand.
The little girl was very sensible. She had never made any requests since she was a child. Now that she wanted to make one, she felt timid, afraid of making her relatives angry.
Heather patted her chest and said, “Tell me. I’ll take you out to play today.”
“I want to go to the amusement park, ride roller coasters, or the Ferris wheel!” Ginny had never played on these rides before.
When she was in Lamar city, Braydon had seen how poor she was.
“Young Master Braydon, I’ll go clear the area,” Logan Hall said.
“Don’t do that. Ginny doesn’t even have a childhood playmate in the Neal family. She’ll be happier playing with children her age at the amusement park than with us.”
Heather stopped Logan from doing so.
If the amusement park was cleared, it would be lonely and without people, so it would be less fun if she was alone.
However, Logan was an adult. He had personally witnessed Braydon not hesitating to sacrifice his cultivation in order to save Ginny. If something happened to the little girl, it would be Braydon who would save her in the end.
Braydon had Logan drive them to Preston’s largest amusement park.
On the outskirts of Preston, there was a large amusement park with a tall Ferris wheel, roller coasters, and a water park. The lively children’s voices made the place look innocent and perfect.
Ginny’s eyes were filled with curiosity. She had long wanted to go in and play.
Even though the little girl was very sensible, she was still only a ten-year-old child.
“I’m going to line up to buy the tickets.” Heather volunteered.
“Sister Heather, let’s go together!” Ginny wanted to line up personally.
In the past, when she was in Lamar city, she would be envious of the children who were queuing up. She could only watch from the outside and could not go in to play.
Heather held Ginny’s hand as they waited in the long line.
Logan stood behind Braydon and said in a low voice, “Young Master Braydon, I can contact the amusement park’s owner and ask him to send us a few tickets.”
Braydon raised his left hand slightly, indicating that there was no need to do this.
One could tell that Ginny was very happy even when she was queuing up.
Logan retreated. He wanted to help because the line was too long. If he wanted to buy a ticket, he would have to wait for more than half an hour.
Braydon had a calm personality. He had been in the northern territory for thirteen years, and no one could see any anxiety in him.
To be precise, when Braydon returned to Preston, others only saw him get angry, but who had ever seen King Braydon being irritated?
Just this kind of heart was something that his peers could not compare to.
As the long line of people passed by, Braydon noticed that in one of the groups next to him, a strong-looking little boy kept stealing glances at Ginny.
Heather was waiting in line. When she saw that it was finally her turn, she turned around and saw Braydon standing under the shade of the tree. She rolled her eyes and muttered in a low voice, “You lazy bum. You didn’t even buy a bottle of water. Can’t you see that Ginny’s lips are dry?”
His voice was soft and carried a hint of anger.
Braydon noticed that his sister’s face was red, and her lips were dry. He said, “Logan, go buy a few bottles of water.”
“Alright!” Logan had followed them to deal with these trifling matters, so he was willing to do so.
Not everyone was qualified to follow King Braydon.
Even Zayn Ziegler, the man who used to follow Braydon around and polish his sword, had become the commander of the central plains, let alone the others.
It was definitely better to follow an expert than to be a solo cultivator.
Heather was in the queue and saw that it was almost their turn.
“The tickets are so expensive,” Ginny said timidly. “It’s two hundred dollars per ticket.”
Heather chuckled and felt that this little girl was too cute. She probably did not know how rich the Neal family was, being the top of Preston’s seven great families. It was said that his genius big brother had taken charge of the investment department yesterday and made over twenty billion in one night!
Could it be that the price of these tickets was not worth the time Braydon had spent playing with her?
The little boy with a tiger head said, “I know you! You’re Ginny Neal!”
“Fat Tiger?” Ginny was pleasantly surprised at first, but also a little scared.
He was her classmate from elementary school in Lamar city. She did not expect to meet him here.
A lady in branded clothes lowered her head and asked, “Son, is this your classmate?”
“Yes, but she’s from a poor family!” The boy arrogantly raised his voice.
As a result, many tourists around them looked at them in surprise.
The lady’s eyes flashed with disdain. “Alright, let’s go in quickly. Your brother is still waiting inside.”
“Stop right there! What right do you have to say such things about my Ginny? Tell him to apologize to Ginny!” Heather was furious.
The members of the seven great families had been in Preston for generations. It was already good enough that they did not bully others, but they were even being humiliated.
If she did not vent her anger, she would not be able to sleep tonight.
Ginny lowered her little head, obviously feeling a little inferior.
Such a child would definitely be bullied in school.
Braydon glanced over, and a touch of coldness flashed in his deep eyes.
It was this cold expression that made Heather shout, “Hurry up and apologize to her. Otherwise, don’t regret it later.”
“You must be joking. You’re just a family of paupers. Who are you trying to scare, you little vixen? You think you’re worthy of my son apologizing to her?” The lady was not willing to do so.
“You’re so unreasonable!” Heather was exasperated.
“There’s nothing to reason with someone poor like you. You want my son to bow down to you? Dream on!” The rich lady pulled her son and was about to leave.
The boy looked at Ginny and snorted, making a face. “What a poor girl!”
“How dare you?!” Heather was about to explode from anger.
This pair of mother and son had gone too far!
“It doesn’t matter if it’s right or wrong. If you don’t want to lower your head, then don’t keep it!” Braydon said indifferently.
The argument here had already attracted many people’s attention.
As a result, the surrounding tourists were all dumbfounded.
These words were simply too overbearing!
Braydon bent down and looked at his sister’s red eyes as she was crying silently. He immediately comforted her, “Ginny, don’t cry. Come, let Big Brother hold you!”
“Big Brother, I don’t want to play anymore. Let’s go home, okay?” Ginny’s eyes were filled with tears.
The rich lady sneered. “You poor thing. If you think the tickets are expensive, then leave now. The amusement park doesn’t need people like you here.”
“You should be careful with your words!” Heather’s lungs were about to explode from anger.
