The Strongest War God

Chapter 169 - 169 Where is Lucian Cross?



The new president of the Chamber of Commerce was Braydon Neal, and he had the final say.

However, there were some things that Grandpa Younes could not say.

“Braydon, Grandfather Younes has a favor to ask of you,” Louis Neal said.

“Dad, Grandpa Younes, just say what you want to say!” Braydon wanted the old man to feel at ease.

After all, the Neal family of three had received a great favor from him!

A life-saving grace!

Without this old man’s help back then, Louis and his wife would have died long ago, and the seven-year-old Braydon would have also been wiped out on that rainy night.

The Neal family would remember this kindness!

Furthermore, the friendship between Younes Cross and Graham Neal from the older generation was something that could not be forgotten in Braydon’s generation.

“To be honest, I’m too embarrassed to even bring this up!” Old Master Younes smiled bitterly.

“The Cross Corporation is in trouble?” Braydon looked at his father.

Louis nodded slightly. “Uncle Younes has been in charge of the Preston Chamber of Commerce for many years. Most of his energy had been tied up in the Chamber of Commerce, so he did not have the time to manage the Cross Corporation. In addition, it’s not that convenient for your Uncle Younes to move around. I learned this afternoon that the company is in a financial crisis.”

Thirteen years ago, Younes’ eldest son was driving on a rainy night and got into a car accident on a highway. He suffered a comminuted fracture and had his leg amputated.

This was what the Neal family owed him!

In addition, the Cross family’s main business was in the pharmaceutical industry. The new drug research was constantly being thwarted, and they had invested too much in it. In recent years, they had been relying on the previous drug patents to make up for their losses and could no longer sustain themselves.

The field of medicine had already matured.

If he wanted to obtain huge profits, he could only tackle major problems such as cancer, tumor-targeted drugs, and vaccines for malignant infectious diseases.

However, the problems faced in the development of these medicines were difficult to solve even for the top international organizations.

Many elite organizations, after having invested billions of dollars, might end up with nothing.

Medical research was one of the most expensive projects in the world.

Military research, medical research… Any small company could easily spend three to five hundred million a year.

“Xandra, transfer 10 billion dollars to the Cross Corporation from the investment department of the Neal Corporation,” Braydon said.

“Alright!” Xandra Milton lived in the Neal family’s manor.

Younes stood up in shock. “That won’t do. That’s too much money.”

“President Cross, the Neal Corporation is not short of money. We have already entered a deep cooperation with Starbright Manufacturing. Once the anti-gravity device’s production begins, the Neal Corporation will make a lot of money every day.”

Xandra was playing with her hair by her earlobe.

Just one project alone was enough to make the Neal Corporation extremely wealthy.

It could bring at least tens of billions of profits to the Neal Corporation every year!

This was because the anti-gravity device technology was the only one in the world.

Once it was applied to passenger planes, it would not only be targeted in the domestic market, but also in the global market.

It was easy to imagine how much profit there would be!

Younes smiled bitterly. “Actually, I’m here tonight for another matter. I’m too embarrassed to bring this up. It’s because of Quinby’s child. He has been detained by the provincial capital’s special operations team.”

Quinby Cross was Younes Cross’s eldest son.

Louis was shocked. He thought the old man was here for the Cross Corporation.

However, he did not expect that it was just for this matter.

“Uncle Younes, are you talking about that child, Lucian?” he asked.

“Yes. He’s liked martial arts since he was young. He’s quite talented. He’s two years younger than Braydon, but he’s already an intermediate warrior.”

Younes revealed a bitter smile.

Since ancient times, using martial arts to break the rules was a serious offense. It was even more serious in modern times.

The Quill main team was of a higher rank than the Preston main team, and their leader was an advanced level warlord. The people they had captured would not be released easily.

No matter how much Younes had begged, it was useless.

“Braydon!” Louis could not help but say.

“Dad, I know what to do!” Braydon had already made up his mind.

Thirteen years ago, when Younes and his son heard about the Neal family’s great upheaval, they braved the rainy night and drove on the highway, rushing back to Preston to protect Braydon and his family.

There was no need to say how heavy this favor was.

Now, Braydon could also make a trip to the provincial capital for the Cross family.

“Little Monkey, tell Zayn that I don’t care what mistakes Lucian has made, but I’ll protect this man. If he is hurt, tell him to hand over the cold sword and never come see me again!”

Braydon’s thin lips moved slightly.

The cold words of the Northern King were filled with majesty!

Tristan Yandell took out his communication device, projected an image on the screen, and dialed Zayn Ziegler’s number.

After a few short seconds.

Zayn picked up the phone and said, “Tristan, what is it? Can’t you let me sleep in the middle of the night?”

“The Northern King’s orders!” Tristan was good at using his connections.

...

A message had become the Northern King’s order!

However, in the eyes of the people of the north, any order from Braydon could be regarded as the order of the Northern King.

Zayn’s lazy look suddenly became serious. He stood up and said, “Speak. If the Northern King gives his orders, I, Zayn Ziegler, will be at your command.”

“The Northern King asked me to tell you that Lucian Cross, who was captured by the Quill main team, is under the protection of the Northern King, regardless of the mistake he has made. If he is hurt in the slightest, you will hand over the cold sword and never see the Northern King again!”

Tristan hung up the call immediately after he had finished speaking.

Zayn stood on the top floor of the building of the central Hansworth headquarters and was stunned for a long time.

“Yelena, come in!” He turned around and said angrily.

“Commander!” Yelena Cross entered the door quietly.

“Is there a martial artist named Lucian Cross who has been imprisoned by the Quill team recently?” Zayn asked angrily.

“Yes, he’s my… little brother!” Yelena’s eyes were dim, and she was slightly depressed.

Zayn was stunned, and then he said angrily, “You’re no fool. Your brother was captured by the Quill team, and you didn’t even react to it? He’s one of our own, and if this gets out, we’ll be a joke to others!”

...

“But Lucian has violated the rules of the Quill team. He should be punished.”

Yelena bit her thin lips.

When she said this, she felt even more uncomfortable.

Zayn almost cursed out loud at her. “You’re so stubborn! This has alerted the Northern King. Tell Tony Wally, if he doesn’t want to work here anymore, he can get the hell out of here. If Lucian Cross loses even a single strand of hair, even God can’t protect him!”

His furious words stunned Yelena.

She did not even know that her family had a relationship with the Northern King.

In the Neal family manor.

Old Master Younes was worried about Lucian Cross, and even if they were to have him get some rest tonight, he would not be able to.

“Get the Preston team’s helicopter, we’re heading to the provincial capital,” Braydon said.

“Understood!” Logan immediately contacted the Preston team.

A black helicopter took off from the Preston team’s base and quickly landed in the Neal family’s manor. It took Braydon and his team directly to the provincial capital.

Preston was only sixty kilometers away from the provincial capital, so it would only take twenty minutes by high-speed rail.

It was in the metropolitan area of the provincial city.

The speed of the black helicopter could reach 400 to 500 kilometers per hour. It would only take 15 minutes to get to the Quill team!

At the Quill team’s base.

The place was brightly lit and looked like an abandoned industrial area. There were as many as twenty factories there.

Zayn was in the provincial capital, so he brought Yelena to the Quill team.

The leader of the Quill team, Tony Wally, led his four deputy leaders to welcome them at the door. “Commander, why are you here in the middle of the night?”

“Where’s Lucian Cross?!”

Zayn roared like a tiger. He had a big beard, and his eyes were full of anger.

This intimidated everyone!
