Chapter 1221: The Real Elder Brother
Worry filled Sapphire Neal’s eyes. “Chaim Hull came to propose marriage and died in front of the Neal residence. The Hull family won’t let this go.”
“What? You killed the Hull family’s members!”
Karen Jo was shocked, her eyes revealing a mix of anger and fear.
She sensed that Braydon Neal was in significant trouble.
The Neal residence today was no longer what it used to be.
Once Karen’s maiden family, the Jo family had rapidly declined after the family head’s death, losing its former glory.
Similarly, the Neal residence faced challenges, with rumors suggesting Graham Neal’s demise in the 16th ruin.
Without any influential figures, how could the Neal residence contend with the Hull family?
As Karen worried and feared, the experts from the Hull family arrived in rage.
Flight was prohibited on the South Pole Island, but the supreme pinnacle from the Hull family exerted a terrifying pressure, sweeping across the entire Neal residence.
Wearing a black robe, he approached from the east, striking the Neal residence’s plaque with his palm, causing it to explode on the spot.
“How gutsy of the Neal family. The Hull family wanted to extend a helping hand, but you not only failed to appreciate it but also killed our family members. You’ve brought disgrace to the Hull family. Today, I demand an explanation from the Neal family!” declared the enraged supreme pinnacle.
Braydon whispered, “Supreme pinnacle.”
“The Northern Army doesn’t fear supreme pinnacles. So what if it’s a giant family!” asserted Skylar Neal, sharing his brother’s proud and talented personality.
The supreme pinnacle crossed the threshold, entering the Neal residence’s small courtyard.
Braydon spoke softly, “If someone is killed, so be it. There’s no need for an explanation. However, my brother has declared that in the future, if he encounters anyone with the surname Hull, he will kill them.”
“How dare you!”
Zsolt Hull, the middle-aged man, glared coldly but refrained from making a move.
Despite the Neal residence’s predicament, the news of Graham’s death remained unconfirmed.
Moreover, the Neal residence’s strength far surpassed that of the Jo family, and the old emperor, Beckett Neal, could intimidate many.
If someone dared to harm the Neal bloodline, news would undoubtedly reach Beckett’s ears, prompting the old emperor to return to the South Pole Island.
After all, the Neal family had already lost most of its family members, and Graham’s bloodline represented the last remnants of the Neal family.
If necessary, Beckett would undoubtedly protect them.
In the Neal family, no male was deemed useless.
Karen stepped forward, her tone softening. “Zsolt, it’s been a while since our last meeting. The younger ones in the family lack sensibility and have caused some trouble. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive them.”
“Karen, you must understand that a direct descendant of the Hull family died in front of the Neal residence. The Neal family owes me an explanation. Otherwise, the Hull family won’t let this matter rest,” Zsolt asserted, showing no intention of compromise.
Karen appeared hesitant.
Eventually, she lowered her head and apologized, “I’ll gather some people and prepare a generous gift tomorrow. I’ll go and apologize personally.”
“This is still insufficient. Who is the murderer of the Hull family members?” Zsolt’s gaze turned sharp, focusing on Braydon and Skylar.
He knew that Sapphire and Jayven Neal lacked the ability to kill Chaim, an inimitable pinnacle.
Sapphire wasn’t strong enough for such an act.
If it wasn’t the two young men in front of him, there must be hidden experts within the Neal residence.
Karen’s expression soured. “He is the murderer, but he is Lior Neal’s son, and also the grandson of the old emperor of the Neal family. If the Hull family seeks his life, I will have to inform the old ancestor.”
“Karen, there’s no need to involve Senior Beckett to suppress the Hull family. Since this matter involves the young direct descendant of your Neal family, and our Hull family has always had a good relationship with the Neal family, let him return to the Hull family with me. He can wear mourning clothes for Chaim, kneel on the memorial tablet for three months as punishment, and we can put this matter behind us,” Zsolt casually proposed his conditions.
If Graham were in the Neal residence, killing Zsolt would be inconsequential, much less killing Chaim.
Even the Hull family wouldn’t dare to humiliate the Neal family disciples like this.
Karen’s face turned pale. With no experts in her family, she had little confidence.
Moreover, her family, the Jo family, faced difficulties, making it impossible for them to assist her.
Turning around, a hint of guilt and anger on her face, she said coldly, “You two brothers are adults now. You represent the Neal family in this mess. I hope you can bear the consequences yourselves and not implicate your family.”
“Mother, how can you say that!” Sapphire couldn’t believe it.
Jayven was also disappointed. “Mom, how could you do this?!”
“I’m doing this for all of you. Your grandfather’s fate is unknown. It’s been months, and there’s no news of your father at all. If your grandfather has passed away, the Jo family is in great trouble. The entire Neal residence is supported by us orphans and widows,” Karen reprimanded Jayven, her words directed at Braydon and Skylar.
Skylar found Karen’s actions highly repugnant.
He expressed his indifference, saying, “The rise and fall of the Neal residence has nothing to do with me. I have never expected outsiders to help with the mess I’ve caused.”
To Skylar, the Neal residence remained an outsider, and the estrangement deepened, all thanks to Karen.
Pretending not to hear Karen’s words, Braydon remarked, “Since the Hull family wants an explanation, I’ll give them an explanation. But did the Hull family only send you?”
“The Hull family does not lack pinnacle experts!” a deep voice echoed from outside the Neal residence.
Another expert had arrived.
The Hull family’s old head had five sons, with Lyrik Hull being the second son and Zsolt being the third.
The Hull family was determined to target the Neal residence, and they wanted to get their hands on the 16th ruin.
They had sent two high-level figures.
Skylar’s gaze turned cold as he subtly gripped the hilt of his sword.
Fearless in the face of the formidable supreme pinnacle, he maintained his composure.
Sapphire, biting her thin lips, softly approached. “Braydon, Skylar, I’m here to help you,” she said.
“And me!” declared Jayven, who had undergone training for two months, shedding his playboy image.
Fearless in battle, he was not afraid to step forward.
The siblings were united, and Braydon, smiling like an elder brother, reassured them, “I’m still alive. I’ll protect you. Regardless of whether Grandpa is dead or alive, I’ll safeguard the children of the Neal family for the rest of your lives.”
“Brother, they are both supreme pinnacles!” Jayven refused to back down.
“Zsolt Hull entered the supreme pinnacle realm and opened his spiritual aperture less than fifty years ago,” explained Sapphire seriously. “His mental power should be at the first level. However, Lyrik Hull has been in the supreme pinnacle realm for almost a hundred years, and his mental power is definitely at the second stage!”
