45 Top Secret Line
After beeping tone.
“Who’s there?” A deep male voice sounded from the other end of the line.
It was no wonder that he was so confused. This was a top secret line. Who knew which fool would actually use an ordinary civilian number to call in?
Wasn’t that person afraid of leaking secrets?
“It’s me!” Braydon said indifferently.
“Who are you? This is a top secret line. How did you get this number?” The man with the deep voice asked aggresively.
Heather covered her mouth and laughed secretly. In the end, she could not hold it in anymore and laughed non-stop until tears flowed down her face, “Can’t you use a nicer tone when you’re looking for someone for help?”
“I’m Braydon!” Braydon ignored her and his tone became colder.
Clang!
The person on the other end of the line seemed to have fallen from a chair and said in a trembling voice, “Northern… Northern King, I didn’t realize it was you just now.”
“I remember that five years ago, the First Academy of Northern military school invited a teacher named Zachariah Sloan, right?” Braydon went straight to the point.
“Let me check for you…”
The person on the other end of the phone quickly pulled up the information. “Yes, there was indeed such a person but he was dismissed back then becuase his teaching quality was inferior. The professor’s knowledge of arts and sceinces was not as good as that of Kiera and Walter.”
“Get through his cell phone and transfer the call to me!” Braydon hung up the phone.
“Professor Kiera and Professor Walter taught you?” Heather asked in disbelief.
“I’ve listened to their lessons, it’s not bad!” Braydon said indifferently.
Heather rolled her eyes and wrinkled her nose, “Go ahead and brag, do you know how powerful they are?”
“One of them is the dean of our Hansworth Medical Academy, and the other is a nuclear physicist who has won the Bell Prize. Any of their articles will attract global attention!”
Heather could not understand the Northern military school.
Although it was a military school, it was not a place to train martial arts practitioners.
In all the countries in the world now, which country’s general was not the same?
Almost all of them were highly sophisticated talents and were outstanding leaders in all walks of life.
Northern military school was no exception. It included almost all the knowledge and allowed students to choose, assess their talent, and choose a subject as their minor. As for their major, it was naturally ancient martial arts!
In the next moment, Heather’s cell phone rang.
The white-haired old man who was attending an academic research meeting left his seat quietly and quickly picked up his cell phone. “Sorry, I was in a meeting just now. May i ask…”
“The Northern King is looking for you!”
The man’s deep voice reminded him, and in the next moment, he transferred the phone signal to Braydon’s phone.
The call was transferred successfully.
The old man, Zachariah, was completely dumbfounded. Of course, he knew who the Northern King was!
He was known as The Prodigy of a thousand years in Northern military school!
In his impression, that young genius had a calm and indifferent personality. In his class back then, as long as he sat down, no one dared to sit down in the front and back three rows near him.
He was already a War God back then!
It also allowed sun Zheng to see the demeanor of a true genius.
While he was still in a daze.
Braydon said calmly, “Professor Sloan, I’m Braydon.”
“Ah, well…” It was rare for Zachariah to be dumbfounded. He did not know how to make greet him.
“Heather and I are at the door of your principal’s office. Can I trouble you to come over?” Braydon chuckled.
“Heather? Oh, it’s that girl. She told me last night that someone wanted to enter the school. Could it be you?” Zachariah suddenly quivered.
Braydon hummed softly in agreement.
Zachariah was both surprised and happy. He did not expect happiness to come so suddenly.
The eighty-year-old man ran down from the scientific research building next door and trotted all the way to the principal’s office.
At this moment, the door to the principal’s office opened.
The female teacher frowned and asked, “You two haven’t left yet?”
“Presumptuous! Who are you asking to leave?”
Sun Zheng was panting and his forehead was covered in sweat.
“Principal, what’s wrong with you?” The female teacher was shocked.
“It’s none of your business, go get some water!”
Zachariah drove the female teacher away to pour some tea and invited Braydon in for a chat.
Heather put her hands in her pocket. She was familiar with this place. She sat down calmly and introduced, “Well, he is Braydon whom I talking about last night.”
“I know him, we’ve known each other since five years ago!” Zachariah said.
Heather was really surprised. She did not expect that Zachariah and Braydon would know each other.
And they actually met five years ago!
Braydon’s thin lips moved slightly as he said, “I’d like to formally introduce myself. I’m Braydon Neal, the eldest son of the Neal family. I was born in Preston City!”
“You’re from Preston City? I’ve never heard you mention it when we were at Northern military school!”
Zachariah was pleasantly surprised, but his old face was a little embarrassed.
After all, he was someone who had been kciked out of Northern military school. Zachariah was not angry at the mention of the past. He knew that the teachers in Northern military school were really of high standards.
However, this matter was top secret, and he had never even mentioned it to his children.
Heather smiled playfully and said, “Since he’s an acquaintance, help him with the admission procedures then.”
“Admission procedures? This will not do!” Zachariah hurriedly shook his head.
Heather said angrily, “You damned old man! You promised me last night so why are you going back on your word?”
The dispute here caused the other directors outside the independent office to be surprised.
Zachariah said with a straight expression, “Young girl, I’d have already kicked you out if it weren’t for your grandmother’s sake. Do you know who he is?”
“Then do you know what my relationship with him is?” Heather glared angrily at him.
Zachariah was stunned.
When he came back to his senses, as a man with experience in life, Zachariah seemed to have also guessed that they were a couple when he saw this perfect match. The corners of his mouth twitched. So, he was the outsider!
Zachariah smiled wryly and said, “With Mr. Braydon’s talent, it’d a waste for him to be a student. If you agree, I can hire you as the honorary dean to teach the students.”
“Old man, are you crazy?”
Even Heather felt that this was outrageous.
It wasn’t enough for peijing University to hire a 20-year-old kid as a teacher. They even hired a Dean-level teacher.
It was already insane for Preston University to hire a twenty-year old boy to become a lecturer but he was also going to be a dean-level professor.
It was an existence that led few students to do research alone.
They were usually powerful figures in a certain field.
Braydon chuckled. “I can’t guarantee that I’ll be at school every day.”
“Don’t be in such a hurry to turn the offer down. What do you think of this as your salary?”
Zachariah turned around and opened the safe, which contained important items or documents.
A wooden box was opened and there was an almost transparent stone which was the size of a baby’s fist inside the box. It was hexagonal in shape and was very beautiful.
“A diamond?” Heather asked in surprise.
“No, it’s a spiritual stone!”
Braydon’s eyes brightened up.
As an ancient martial arts practitioner, how could Braydon not recognize this kind of thing?
Hansworth was founded on martial arts and could be traced back to the Shang Dynasty. There were traces of ancient martial arts practitioners and records of ancient Qi cultivators. There were also records of various spiritual medicines.
These things were what a martial arts practitioner needed for his daily cultivation.
Unfortunately, three thousand years had passed and the inheritance of ancient martial arts had been destroyed several times. This was epecially in the Song Dynasty where the inheritance of ancient martial arts was almost completely cut off.
Since then, spiritual stones had become impossible to find, and spiritual herbs had withered in large numbers.
