Chapter 178 Grandfather and Grandson Meet
Half an hour ago, after he took Jayna and Emily to the Millers' house, Evan immediately headed for the Cliffs' home with Mr. Huggins and the 10 Gods of War. Of course, Rendon went with them.
Rendon and Iwan were in the same car, but Iwan was silent, so Rendon could only give an embarrassed smile. After a while, Iwan looked at Rendon and said, "Marshal Scott, you seem a little nervous?" Iwan looked at Rendon attentively, feeling he was so unusual today.
Rendon said with an embarrassed smile, "Ho, ho, am I? I'm not! Haha, how could I be nervous? Now I'm also at the last stage of the Emperor level, and you and Mr. Huggins are also around me. Even if those overseas forces came to attack us, I wouldn't be afraid. Why do I have to be nervous?"
"Ho, ho... seriously?" Iwan sneered. He felt Rendon was so unusual, but Rendon denied it firmly, so he couldn't do anything about him. "The last stage of the Emperor level? But the old guy only showed that he was at the early stage of the Super-God level when I met him the first time! When I met him in Cleveque the second time, he was already at the Half-a-step Emperor level. Now, the old cunning man was already at the last stage of the Emperor level! F*ck, he must have lied! He has been hiding his real strength!" he thought unhappily.
"Ho, ho... no, I'm not nervous at all," Rendon still said to Iwan calmly. He wouldn't admit it anyway!
As his mouth twitched, Iwan thought about a few things. "The Dragon Kingdom doesn't seem as weak as I imagine, especially in high-end fighting power. There must be more than a few Emperor- level powerhouses. Take Rendon, the man in front of me, for example. Apparently, he could reach the Emperor level at top speed and in a short time, but he hid his strength. Then, over the years, the outside world has been viewing him as a weak Super God. He's f*cking great!"
Iwan shut his mouth, and Rendon stopped talking but had a heavier heart. After he took his wife and daughter to the Millers' house, Iwan didn't linger for even a moment or enter the house. Instead, he went straight to the Cliffs' house with his men.
"But are Marshal Addison and Third Elder well-prepared at the Cliffs' home? Has Mr. Cliff learned what happened in the Cliffs' family in those days? He must be mentally prepared! ... alas..." Rendon was terribly worried. Iwan was indeed too fast, but this was his style of doing things-he would not procrastinate at anything he was doing.
While Rendon was thinking, Iwan's car fleet suddenly stopped. They saw a fallen truck, which was more than three meters tall and loaded with marble, in the middle of the road, preventing them from moving on.
Rendon looked at the truck, frowned, and said, "Lord Cliff, the road is blocked. Let's take another path, shall we?"
Ignoring him, Iwan shouted at Warrior No. 11 ahead of him, "Remove the barrier!"
"Yes, my lord!" Hearing the order, Warrior No. 11 and No. 12, two Half-a-step Super Gods, immediately jumped off their military vehicle and hit the truck with their palms. In an instant, with a bang, the heavily loaded truck, lying in the middle of the road, slid to the roadside.
After the barrier was removed, Iwan ordered, "Move on!"
When the car fleet restarted, Iwan looked at Rendon seriously and said, "Marshal Scott, if there is also something like this on the road ahead, I think you should leave..."
But Rendon said in faked surprise, "I don't know what's going on! Uh... Lord Cliff, you accused me wrongly. I really don't know..."
"Humph..." Iwan snorted. He looked at Rendon and said, "Is it useful to delay my trip a bit, Marsh Scott?"
Seeing Iwan's face darkening, he immediately promised, "Uh... um... I... I really don't know! I'll ask men to clear the road ahead, making it unimpeded. Don't worry. I promise..." Iwan snorted, but didn't say anything anymore. Rendon signaled to a Super God around him secretly, letting him cancel Ivy's blocking plan. He was an old cunning man, and Iwan was almost the same. At first sight, Iwan learned this was Rendon's trick.
"Hey, Marshal Addison, Third Elder, I can't delay his trip anymore! You must be quick!" Rendon glanced at the road ahead and muttered in his head.
As they were getting closer to the Cliffs' home, Iwan's aura and eyes were getting colder. Five years ago, he was wounded and deprived of the family's heirship there by Andy. In the end, he was kicked out of the family!
For five years, Iwan had never been back once. Even when he came to Gotham last time, he had not been to the Cliffs' house. But Jayna and Emily had come this time. He was going to visit the Cliffs' house and fetch his mother's tablet because he didn't want the Cliffs to keep it anymore!
Time passed slowly. Iwan's car fleet was getting closer to the Cliffs' house. Five kilometers... three kilometers... two kilometers... one kilometer... Finally, the fleet stopped at the Cliffs' house gate.
Looking at the Cliffs' ancestral residence in the distance that he was so familiar with, he couldn't help but have some mixed feelings, which were shown in his eyes. But his eyes turned ice-cold soon.
When he and his men got out of their cars, a row of soldiers of the Military Headquarters of the Dragon Kingdom at the Cliffs' house gate came up to stop them. He didn't say anything, but Rendon
immediately exuded with a boom the momentum one at the last stage of the Emperor level had, and ordered those soldiers, "Get out of our way!"
With a look of some unwillingness to leave, the soldiers said to Rendon, "Marshal Scott, Marshal Addison, and Third Elder are inside... We... we..."
"Step aside! Did you hear me? Get out of here!" Rendon roared. With a wave of his arm, the soldiers of the Military Headquarters in front of Iwan were pushed aside. He had sensed that Iwan had a mind to kill. He clearly knew that although he was usually easygoing, Iwan was an unmatched fierce man who had slaughtered 88 strongholds overnight in the External Regions! And he was not sure if Iwan would take the past family feelings into account. Anyway, people would change. Back then, Iwan had been kicked out of the family by the Cliffs. After that, he experienced life and death numerous times on overseas battlefields. Then, his mind might have changed.
And he didn't want Iwan to hate him.
Iwan kept moving on, ignoring Rendon's action. But a group of the Cliff family's guards came up to stop him. Now, Rendon didn't do anything because the 10 Gods of War including Warrior No. 1 attacked these guards, sending them flying. Some of them simply flew into the Cliffs' house. This is what we mentioned earlier.
Now, Iwan was standing at the Cliffs' house gate with Mr. Huggins, the peak-stage Gods of War, and Rendon and his men.
Knowing the news, Carl, Third Elder, Evan, and the Cliffs all walked out from the inside.
But Evan froze as he came out and saw Iwan. He had just learned that his grandson Iwan Cliff was the Lord of the Heaven Domain, and he had met him when he was being besieged on an overseas battlefield two months ago.
And he also had met him when he headed for Gotham this morning. Yes, he finally remembered it. Now he knew why the name "Iwan Cliff" was familiar! It was because Emily had told him her dad's name was Iwan Cliff during his chat with her yesterday afternoon.
It turned out he had met his grandson twice. Yesterday afternoon, the little girl named Emily who had handed him the tissues when she saw him crying was... was in fact his great-granddaughter! And the female president of Morgan Group was his grandson's wife!
At this moment, Evan saw Iwan and widened his mouth, appalled. He froze for a long time before he came back to his senses.
"Hey, old sport, what I just wanted to say was this. You've already met your grandson. About two hours ago this morning, you met each other at the airport in Cleveque. He is Iwan Cliff and also Christ Cliff. Of course, more importantly, he is also the Lord of the Heaven Domain in the External Regions. He is your... grandson!" Standing next to Evan, Carl heaved a deep sigh with quite mixed feelings. He had wanted to tell Evan moments earlier, but it was too late. Iwan came too fast, too fast...
"Then the little girl Emily who chatted with me at Morgan Group yesterday is my great- granddaughter, right?" Evan instantly shed tears. Although he was quite sure, he wanted to ask.
The third elder nodded and said, "Yes, right. You saw the ring I gave Emily, didn't you? Evan, your grandson is a peerless hero, an unmatched one the Dragon Kingdom is proud of. Over the years, the child has done so much for the Dragon Kingdom. We... owe him..."
Now, Evan finally knew why Max had asked Emily to call him great-grandpa yesterday afternoon. It turned out Emily was his great-granddaughter.
At the moment, when he looked at Iwan, his grandson, who had come here to denounce the family, Evan thought of his conversation with Emily yesterday. In an instant, his tears flooded down.
Facing Iwan, Evan opened his mouth a few times but didn't utter a word in the end.

And Iwan, who was now standing opposite Evan, was also stunned. He met this old man again at the Cliffs' house. Instantly, he had a guess. Looking at Evan with disbelief, he asked Rendon next to him, "Marshal... Marshal Scott, who is that... that old man? The old man standing opposite me..."
Rendon inhaled deeply before he said with complicated emotions, "He... he... This is an old man who has fought for the Dragon Kingdom a whole life overseas. About 20 years ago, to protect the country, he left his home for the battlefields in the External Regions. He has performed the most dangerous and confidential missions a lot of times, and he has been so close to death many times, but he has never regretted it."
Then Rendon paused and continued, "But he is also a poor old man. He has fought battles for the Dragon Kingdom a whole life overseas, but he didn't know the family upheaval. Before he returned to our country, the poor old man was still thinking that he, a Super God now, would go home to support his grandson and buy presents for his great-granddaughter," Rendon said, eyes wet.
"Lord Cliff, the old man in front of you, one who will die soon, is your grandfather Evan Cliff!"
Although he had guessed it, when he heard Rendon speak the words "your grandfather", Iwan couldn't help but feel shocked.
He stared blankly at Evan, the man in tears a few yards away, and he was astonished.
