237 Interrogating Hector Sattler
Luke Yates retrieved his cold sword, ignored the Smith family, and left.
Keaton Smith sat on the ground limply as if his entire body had collapsed. He did not come back to his senses for a long time.
Tonight, because of Kolt Smith, the Smith family was almost exterminated.
“Don’t say a word about what happened tonight!” he said hoarsely.
“Yes, Sir!” The Smith family felt like they had just escaped death.
Who would have thought that the eldest young master of the Neal family was actually such a terrifying figure?
The newly conferred Northern King was Braydon Neal!
Not to mention the Smith family, no other family in the country dared to face such a person alone.
In the Neal family manor.
When Braydon returned to the villa, it was already midnight.
Heather Sage went back with her brother, so there was no need to worry too much. Ginny Neal was already asleep in her room on the second floor.
Sammy Dudley was in the living room, watching the evening news on TV.
Until Braydon returned.
“Congratulations, Commander!” Sammy cupped his hands.
“It’s just a fake title. Have you found out anything about what I asked you to investigate in the Neal family?”
Braydon sat calmly on the sofa.
Today, before Braydon left for the capital, the identities of Old Man Zito and Ernest Lanford had been leaked almost immediately, causing Zander Zeller to lead the three leaders to gather at the Neal family during the day.
Therefore, Braydon suspected that there were people from the dark division in the Neal family manor.
Sammy shook his head. “I’ve screened the Neal family three times. They’re all ordinary people with clean backgrounds. This small courtyard doesn’t have any surveillance equipment, so I’m guessing that the news might have been leaked by the capital garrison!”
The order that Zander and the others had received earlier had come from the capital garrison.
However, this order was not given by the governor, Westley Hader!
The waters in the capital were much deeper than he had imagined.
As soon as Braydon learned of Old Man Zito and Ernest Lanford’s identities, many factions reacted in an instant.
There would not be any problems in the north.
Thus, there was a high chance that the problem was the capital garrison.
“Is there any news about Hector Sattler?” Braydon stretched his waist lazily.
“It’s strange that the north’s hidden agents in the capital haven’t found any clues.”
Sammy used to be a hidden agent, so he knew the power of the 100,000 hidden agents in the north.
Strangely, the north did not find any clues regarding Hector Sattler.
It was as if this person had disappeared into thin air.
“Tonight, a girl wearing a ghost mask descended upon the Sattler family and severely injured that old ghost Zed Sattler with one palm strike.”
“Ghost mask?”
A faint smile appeared on Braydon’s lips as he instructed, “Then, there’s no need to investigate Hector Sattler anymore.”
“Yes, sir!” Doubt surfaced in Sammy’s heart.
But he did not dare to ask any more questions. If the commander said that there was no need to investigate, then he could stop.
Only Braydon knew who the owner of the ghost mask was.
It must be Sister Sadie from Mount Bliz who had sent people down the mountain.
Thinking of this, Braydon could not help but laugh. It seemed that she was still worried about him!
If Hector Sattler was brought back to Mount Bliz, he would probably not be able to survive.
As expected.
In the middle of the night on Mount Bliz, a girl in a snow-white dress opened a sealed file of the Ludwig army.
An ethereal voice then came from outside, “Hector Sattler is here!”
“Have you met Young Master?” Sadie Dudley smiled elegantly and beautifully.
The girl in the white dress standing at the door took off the ghost mask on her face. Her black hair fell, revealing a breathtakingly beautiful small face. Her facial features were flawless, and her eyes were filled with a spiritual aura.
She shook her head softly. “No. Young Master tricked Old Man Lowe and rejected the conferment ceremony banquet. He took the Preston main team back to Preston.”
“It doesn’t matter whether you saw him or not. You appeared in the Sattler family and severely injured Zed Sattler. Once Young Master finds out, he will definitely know that I did it.”
Sadie gently brushed her earlobes and hair and stood up leisurely.
The girl in the white dress blinked her bright eyes, not feeling that she had done anything wrong.
In front of the wooden house, a man in his fifties was kneeling on the ground. His temples were white, and he was actually older than he looked. His eyes were filled with fear.
This person was Hector Sattler!
Forty years ago, he led the capital garrison and forced the Ludwig army to their deaths.
“Hector Sattler, an official of the Jefferson Division. A ninth-level marquis, right?” Sadie’s cherry lips parted slightly.
She held an ancient book in her hands and drew a line of black words with a red pen in her left hand.
Hector knelt on the ground, feeling humiliated. He asked hoarsely, “Who are you? Where is this place?”
“This is Mount Bliz!” Sadie answered his question.
Hector was shocked and furious. “Where the Northern King was conferred king? The northern territory?”
“I’ve answered your question, so you have to answer mine.”
Sadie closed the ancient book with her fair hands. She walked under the ginkgo tree and sat under the swing.
Playing on a swing under the moon.
It was indeed very beautiful.
However, it made Hector’s heart tremble!
This Mount Bliz was the land where the Northern King had been conferred the title of king. It was the holy land in the hearts of the soldiers of the northern army. Only the commander could climb the mountain. Even the ten ruthless men were not qualified to climb it.
How could there be two girls living on the mountain peak?
And she was even swinging on a swing on Mount Bliz.
Something was wrong.
Sadie spoke softly. “I want to know who the Ludwig army offended forty years ago. You didn’t hesitate to kill and forced seven hundred thousand elites to die. They even had to bear the name of a rebel army!”
Hector fell silent.
Before he came, he had already expected that the accident he had encountered was most likely because of the Ludwig incident back then.
He let out a breath and closed his eyes. “Since I’m in the hands of the north, let me die quickly. Don’t talk nonsense!”
“You won’t tell me?” Sadie was swinging on the swing.
The girl in the white dress, who was standing quietly at the side, moved her fingers slightly. An invisible force penetrated Hector’s back and landed on his heart.
“Ahh!” Hector’s shrill scream broke the silence of Mount Bliz.
This was the heart-piercing palm!
Hector’s face turned pale. He felt as if his heart was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand.
A heart-wrenching pain!
His facial features were twisted in pain, and his eyes were bloodshot. He panted heavily and gritted his teeth, refusing to reveal his inner thoughts.
Sadie wrinkled her nose slightly. She did not expect Hector to be willing to endure the heart-wrenching pain and not reveal anything from back then.
According to her speculation, Hector was just a pawn in the Ludwig incident.
The culprit was not him!
The Hector Sattler of forty years ago was not considered a big shot in the capital. To single-handedly harm seven hundred thousand Ludwig elites was simply a fool’s dream.
Only Hector knew the true culprit.
However, this person refused to say a word and was bent on seeking death.
The girl in the white dress looked a little innocent. “There’s no other way. He won’t talk!”
“Annoying!”
Sadie flew down from the swing. Her white dress danced in the wind, like a fairy from the heavens who was not tainted by the mortal world. She hated doing such rough work.
Her slender white fingers moved slightly, and several forces entered Hector Sattler’s body.
The force was like a snake, biting Hector’s limbs.
