Chapter 83 A Representative from the Cliff Family in Gotham City
As for Jayna and Jane, after they had eaten lunch, they hung out. When they were tired, they would go into a café and find a quiet place to chat. During the whole afternoon, Jane took Jayna to many places. They went to the most prosperous pedestrian street and the headquarters building of Morgan Group.
A few minutes past 5 p.m., when she stood at the foot of the 300- to 400-meter-tall Morgan Tower, Jayna was extremely shocked and began to admire the founder of the company who was about her age. This was really shocking!
"Is... is this Morgan Group? It's really great! The company built their headquarters building in the downtown area of Cleveque City..." Jayna complimented sincerely. For her, Morgan Group was like the king of business overlooking the whole Cleveque City. It had the air of a monarch!
Totally agreeing with her, Jane nodded and said, "Yes, it's really powerful. The legend of those years is also a monarch-like figure. Unfortunately, I have no chance to see him..."
As she spoke, Jane could not help but turn her head sideways to glance at Jayna, thinking, "Is the mysterious husband of the college fellow really him? An ordinary person will never have that bearing and confidence! ..." This afternoon, when she was hanging around with Jayna, she asked her many questions, but Jayna knew little about Iwan's experiences during the five years in the External Regions. She only knew that Iwan had been on the battlefields in the External Regions.
Now Jane looked up at the Morgan Tower that went up into the clouds, then she became more confused. On the one hand, she didn't think Iwan was the person of those days; on the other hand, she thought he was. Were there really so many coincidences in the world? If Iwan Cliff was truly the man of those days, then why did he join the Military Headquarters? Why did a matchless genius
and legend in the business field give up business and go to the army? This was unreasonable, so Jane was confused.
Fortunately, she didn't think so much. As she hung around with Jayna, it was getting dark. Therefore, they went to tour the night market in Cleveque City and eat there. Anyway, Jayna didn't have a job, and she didn't have to go to work today, so both of them had a lot of free time. Having come to Cleveque City, Jayna seemed to have entered a new world. Hanging around here and there made her very excited. Before they realized it, it was already 10 p.m. Only then did she say goodbye to Jane unwillingly.
Jayna went home late, and so did Iwan. After hearing Warrior No.1's report at noon, he went out to make arrangements.
One more hour passed, and it was 11 p.m. On a road less trodden in the east of Cleveque City, Iwan stopped his car and began to stroll. The moment he got out of his car, dozens of top killers emerged slowly from the darkness far behind him. When he began to walk, they secretly went up to follow him.
In fact, these top killers were so apprehensive because they had also received the news that Iwan, the man in front of them, was very strong and that he had once been titled the God of War in the External Regions. But killers would never fight people head-on. Instead, they would only assassinate people. As for these killers, they were many and strong. They were dozens of people, and each of them was just half a step away from the God of War, so they thought they could slaughter a God of War! And they were all crazy people, who were very excited about the mission tonight. After all, they were all half a step away from the level of the God of War.
But they would never know that the half-a-step difference was a huge difference. If dozens of such Gods of War could slaughter a God of War, then the Powerhouses at the level of the God of War would not enjoy super-high authority and status around the world. Of course, those who were not at
the level would never know the terrifying strength of a God of War. Notably, the Gods of War were different from one another. Take the Gods of War of the Dragon Kingdom for example. They were usually not as strong as those of the External Regions.
There were dozens of very powerful and fierce killers in the darkness behind him, but Iwan kept walking on as if he had not found them. When he had been walking for more than ten minutes, and when no other people could be seen on the street, three luxury cars suddenly stopped in front of him. As the car door opened, a square-faced middle-aged man with a strong air of enjoying high status got out. The man was Troy Cliff, Iwan's uncle and the younger brother of the Cliff family's head. After he got out, more than a dozen strong, fierce bodyguards stepped out of the two cars behind him.
Iwan looked at Troy, and Troy looked back at Iwan, whom he had not seen for five years. When he saw Iwan again five years later, and when he had learned that his nephew already had the God of War's title, his eyes welled up with emotions.
"Christ... sorry for your sufferings during these years. The Cliff family owes you something, and I apologize to you for the family..." Troy said to Iwan, looking at him with quite mixed feelings.
Iwan looked at Troy. His uncle had high moral qualities, not like those fighting for properties with the immediate branch of the family in other big families. Indeed, his uncle did everything for the rise of the Cliff family. But did the current Cliff family have anything to do with him?
Hearing it, Iwan was silent for a while. Then he looked at Troy and said, "Sorry, please call me Iwan Cliff... Besides, although my surname is Cliff, your excellency, please remember, I have no relations with the Cliff family in Gotham City."
When he heard these words, he opened his mouth slightly, hoping to say something, but he didn't know how to start. After remaining silent for a long while, he heaved a deep sigh, "Alas..."
Then he fell silent. After being silent for a long while, he raised his head again, looking at Iwan with more mixed feelings. But when he was about to say something, his expression suddenly changed, and he immediately roared at Iwan, "Watch out! Killers!"
Before Troy could finish it, the dozens of top killers in the darkness behind Iwan rushed at him with sharp blades. All their eyes glistened with bloodthirst. They wanted to kill the God of War!
When he heard the warning, Iwan didn't react or move at all. Instead, he said to Troy calmly, "Huh, so unexpected? Five years ago, when you people kicked me out of the family, you also sent people to hunt me, didn't you?"
Troy frowned at it, as if he didn't really understand what Iwan said, but this was not the time to argue about it. Instead, he shouted at his subordinates behind him, "Stop them, quickly!"
But before those subordinates behind him could act, Warrior No.1 in white appeared behind the killers who wanted to assassinate Iwan, and then he began moving like a shadow. In the light of the streetlamps, streams of blood squirted, but no one could see him.
More than ten seconds later, when the last killer who had come to the side of Iwan was beheaded, Warrior No.1 reappeared in front of everyone. Now the dozens of killers behind Iwan sent by Lily Swift had all been killed! But Warrior No.1's clothes were still snow-white and spotless. He put his knife back into the sheath, smiled, and stood quiet behind Iwan.
"I haven't really tasted the fun of it. All of them were too weak. Even if a hundred killers at this level came, I wouldn't enjoy it..." Standing behind Iwan, Warrior No.1 smiled, showing he was a little unsatisfied. But his smile made Troy, standing opposite Iwan, and all his subordinates feel a chill down their spine.
"A... a Powerhouse at the level of the God of War!" Troy's heart and soul shook. He looked at Warrior No.1, his eyes full of disbelief and shock.
"Haha, Mr. Cliff, you must be joking. I'm just my brother's guard. I don't deserve to be a God of Ward of the Dragon Kingdom. Five years ago, you Cliffs in Gotham City kicked my brother out of the family and sent people all the way to hunt him. Now, when you find that my brother is titled the God of Ward in the External Regions, you want him to go back, eh? Haha, could you tell me, 'Is there anything so easy in this world?' Or how could you be so confident that my brother will go back to you Cliffs' family, eh?" Warrior No.1 said to Troy very sarcastically with an ice-cold, bloodthirsty smile.
"Clank clank..." After hearing these words, Troy could not help but take a few steps back. He had just witnessed Warrior No.1 easily slaughter dozens of top killers. A man with such strength must be qualified to be a God of War, but such a Powerhouse was just his nephew's guard!
"Wrong information! Seriously wrong information! Iwan is absolutely not an ordinary God of War of the External Regions? Absolutely not! If a Powerhouse could have a subordinate with the strength of the God of War, he would not be an ordinary God of War of the External Regions, would he? In fact, even Evan Cliff, the head of the Cliff family, doesn't have a subordinate with the strength of the God of War." All kinds of thoughts instantly swarmed into his brain. Then, looking at Iwan, whom he had not seen for five years, he felt Iwan was so strange to him.
Seeing that Troy had lost words for shock, Iwan nodded and said, "Sir, My brother is right. Why should I go back? Or could you give me a reason?"
Hearing it, Troy opened his mouth a few times before he finally said weakly, "I... Iwan, my father said that as long as you go back, he will go to the Military Headquarters to lobby the officials in charge, letting you return to it and be a God of War of the Dragon Kingdom again..." His tone was weak, meaning he didn't really have the confidence to mention the conditions of the Cliff family.
"Haha..." Iwan laughed at it disdainfully. Then he took out his mobile phone and called Rendon Scott through the video in Troy's presence. Soon Rendon answered the call, his face appearing in
front of Iwan and Troy. When Troy saw Rendon's face, his face suddenly changed color. Immediately, he bent his back and lowered his head to bow, but Iwan stopped him.
"Not now. Listen to me speaking a few words to Chief Scott..." Iwan stopped Troy and said.
After that, while Troy was in shock, Iwan said to Rendon with a smile, "Haha, Chief Scott, sorry to disturb you so late. But someone has just told me that they will go to the Military Headquarters to lobby the officials in charge, letting me return to the God of Ward's position and regain the power of the God of War. Then, chief, I want to ask you one thing. Do I need anyone to do that for me?"
When he heard it, Rendon was stunned for a moment. Then he saw Troy standing beside Iwan and said with a smile, "Mr. Cliff, the things you did in Southpool are small matters. Those people deserve to die. You've killed them, and it's fine. Those chiefs and I, of the Military Headquarters, won't blame you, and you don't have to punish yourself anymore. If you want to come back, the Military Headquarters welcomes you anytime. Of course, you don't need others to do it for you. Haha..."
"Okay, sorry for disturbing you, Chief Scott. Have a good dream." Iwan thanked Rendon and hung up. After that, he said to Troy with a faint smile, "Haha, sir, now do you think I still need you people to lobby anyone for me?" Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
"This... this, you... you... I... I..." Troy was quite shocked, his mouth wide open, thinking, "Iwan was not expelled by the Military Headquarters? It was his own choice? And Soon Rendon, the top commander of the Military Headquarters of the Dragon Kingdom, waits for him to go back anytime! He doesn't need my father's help at all! Does he need our help? Don't humiliate me! If he says yes, he can go back anytime."
Although he was shocked, Troy still wanted Iwan to go back. He said gingerly, "I... Iwan, even if you can go back to the Military Headquarters anytime you want, now you need money to make a living! I
heard you just got married. Iwan, let's do it this way. As long as you go back, I promise you that you will have one-fourth of the Cliff family's shares! What do you think?"
"Hoho... hahaha..." Iwan smiled without saying a word, and Warrior No.1 laughed.
The next moment, Warrior No.1 pointed to the brightly lit 300- to 400-meter-tall Morgan Tower in the distance and said, "Sir, could you tell me how much the one-four of your family's shares are worth? Could they be more valuable than Morgan Group? Oh, by the way, your family is not well-informed! Then let me give you a hint! You really don't know the whole Morgan Group is my brother's, do you?"
"Wh... what? How, how, how come? Morgan... Morgan Group? Thud." Then Troy fell to the ground. He had almost been scared silly.
He thought, "Iwan can return to the Military Headquarters of the Dragon Kingdom at any time, and he also has Morgan Group, which is more valuable than our entire family. Then what, what, what bargaining chip could the Cliff family use to attract him?" At this moment, Troy could not feel anything but shock.
