158 The Help of Two Great Families
The luxurious five-star hotel was full of guests at night.
But today, the Preston Chamber of Commerce had booked the entire place.
The members of the Chamber of Commerce were all big bosses, so they had nothing but money.
If someone wanted to join as members, they would need three internal members as guarantors, pay an entrance fee of five hundred thousand, and pass the examination before they could join.
Every member had to pay a membership fee of two hundred thousand dollars each year for the daily operation of the Chamber of Commerce.
To the Neal family, the annual membership fee of two hundred thousand was not worth mentioning at all.
The real intention of the Preston Chamber of Commerce was to gather all the local merchants together. Everyone had been in various fields for many years and had all kinds of resources in their hands.
Exchanging resources and sharing information was much better than being alone!
To a merchant, resources and information were sources of income!
Business was not about fighting alone, and that would not last long.
The people from the seven great families of Preston would all be there tonight.
The Neal family’s three cars entered the hotel’s parking lot.
As soon as Braydon Neal got out of the car, he heard a surprised shout behind him, “Stinky Braydon!”
He did not need to turn around to know that it was Heather Sage.
She smiled cheekily and pinched Ginny Neal’s nose, saying jokingly, “Ginny is also here tonight!”
“Sister Heather!” Ginny called out sweetly.
Harold Sage, who was wearing a suit, looked at Braydon with a helpless expression.
Everyone knew what they were doing at Preston Hotel.
The reason why Harold felt helpless was that the Neal family had sent Braydon as their representative.
No one could compete with this guy for the position of president of the Preston Chamber of Commerce.
After having spent some time together, Harold had a better understanding of how terrifying Braydon was.
The Northern King was in Preston, a young man who could not be compared to him in the three provinces of the central plains.
“Tonight, you’re competing for the president position of the Preston Chamber of Commerce. I’ll give you my vote.”
Harold immediately gave up and told him.
Braydon chuckled. “My fourth uncle and the others are worried that the position of the president of the Chamber of Commerce will be a hindrance to the Neal family. After all, the Neal family has invested more in the new Preston district than any other company.”
“I understand. You’re much better as the president of the Chamber of Commerce than those good-for-nothing people.”
In Harold’s eyes, most of the members of the Chamber of Commerce in Preston were good-for-nothing and useless.
Harold was so young, yet he was able to manage the Sage Corporation. It was obvious that he was capable, and he naturally had the pride of a young man.
Among the seven great families, the number of people who could catch Harold’s eye could be counted on one hand.
The group entered the Preston Hotel. The main hall had been transformed into a dance hall. The socialites and successful bosses in suits raised their glasses and talked about life with smiles on their faces. All of them were in high spirits.
After all, in today’s society, everyone was after money.
With money, you are above the rest.
A businessman boss was a typical example. Once he had money, he seemed to be superior to others.
But when it came to money, Braydon had no concept of it ever since he was young.
Before he was seven years old, he lived in the north without any worries about food and clothing. He was born in the Neal family, the head of the seven great families. As the eldest grandson of the old master, Graham Neal, his status could be imagined.
It was almost certain that Braydon would be the future successor of the Neal Corporation.
Later on, the Neal family had an internal conflict, and the seven-year-old Braydon was sent to the north. Although he had suffered a lot, when Braydon entered the northern military school, he showed his amazing talent and was accepted as a student by the old commander Finley Yanagi.
The previous commander was his teacher. In the entire northern territory, no one dared to bully Braydon.
Moreover, although Braydon was small at that time, his strength was extremely terrifying.
A nine-year-old War God, there was no such precedent in the northern territory.
Therefore, Braydon grew up in the northern territory. In the northern army, there were special people in charge of clothes, accommodation, and transportation. He did not lack anything.
Until today, Braydon had long been the Northern King.
Although he donned plain clothes in the north, if Braydon wanted, he could easily get the power and wealth!
However, Braydon’s goal was not that.
He inherited his teacher’s will and became the commander of the northern army. He held the Northern King sword and sat alone on the peak of Mount Bliz. He pursued the power of killing as protection, intimidating the eight countries outside the borders, guarding the gate of the north, and intimidating the eight countries outside the borders!
This was Braydon’s pursuit.
When Braydon reached the entrance of the hall, he was stopped by a doorman in a yellow coat. He politely reminded Braydon, “Young Master, tonight is an important gathering. Those who enter need to be dressed formally!”
“Why did you not to change your clothes? Look at you being stopped outside the entrance!” Heather was gloating and was as happy as a little sand sculpture.
The corner of Braydon’s mouth twitched. He felt that Heather was becoming more and more mischievous in front of him.
However, it did not matter if he wore a formal suit or not.
Braydon came here today to be the president of the Chamber of Commerce.
It was not a competition; he was here to be the president!
Logan Hall quietly appeared and held the doorman by the back of his head. He calmly said, “Let’s have a chat over here!”
“Sir, what do you want to do?”
The doorman’s face turned pale.
“Don’t be nervous, we’re just having a chat,” Logan calmly replied.
Bang!
He struck the doorman with a hand knife and knocked him out. He leaned the doorman leaned against the wall and tilted his body, saving himself the trouble of explaining.
This was the simplest and most direct way to deal with it.
They could not just kill him with a cold sword, right? After all, he was just an ordinary person, and they could not drag him into the Preston team’s base to deal with him.
The Preston team’s base was a place where they walked in standing and came out lying down. It was a place feared by martial artists.
No one was blocking the way now.
Braydon had his own reasons for not changing his clothes. Plain clothes were his lifetime.
Plain clothes meant two sleeves of breeze!
He also represented the Northern King!
It also represented the faith of the northern army.
Asking Braydon to take off his cotton clothes meant that he had to leave the northern army and the northern territory. The ten major legions of the northern army would not agree to that.
No one could take off King Braydon’s plain clothes.
Once they entered the hall, people kept nodding to Louis Neal.
Of the seven great families in Preston, the Neal family was the last to arrive.
In the distance, Xana Thomas’s eyes lit up and she waved her hand. “Genius Neal, Heather, I’m here!”
“Brother Braydon!” Joseph Thomas ran over.
If it were not for the strict control of the Thomas family, Joseph would have definitely gone to the Neal family’s house to play from time to time.
“Why? Does the Thomas family also want to be the president?” Braydon chuckled.
“I’m just here to watch the fun. Did the Neal family push you out to be the president? Don’t say anymore, the Thomas family’s vote is yours!” Joseph patted his chest and promised.
In the distance, Grant Thomas shook off the person in front of him and walked over with wide steps. He laughed heartily. “Louis, long time no see!”
“Grant, how have you been?”
Liam Neal revealed a smile.
The relationship between the Neal and Thomas families had been good all these years thanks to the older generation.
“Dad, the representative of the Neals is my brother, Braydon. Let’s put our votes on him later!” Joseph said.
“Oh… No problem!” Grant knew what to choose.
The president position of the Preston Chamber of Commerce was very important and would be of great help to the Thomas family.
However, if Braydon wanted to get involved, the Thomas family would step back.
Grant also knew that Braydon’s identity was extremely terrifying. Even his father, Stefan Thomas, had said that Braydon was destined to be the most powerful man in the Neal family!
