Chapter 184 Open the coffin! (3)
The rain in Gotham City was getting heavier and heavier, and the place where the Senior Elder lived was the center of Gotham City. It was an ancient manor that was set in five miles of ground. The environment was very elegant. The four gates around the manor were guarded by four Super Gods, and each of the Super Gods was in command of three Gods of War. There were even more than a thousand Half-a-step Gods of War. Each warrior was armed to the extreme. They were the picked troops. This place was the most heavily guarded.
At this moment, the Second Elder held a black umbrella and walked over with the company of several guards. He had heard about what happened in the Cliff family, so he came to discuss it with the Senior Elder immediately. He was the Second Elder of the Dragon Kingdom, and his combat power was second only to the Senior Elder. He was much stronger than the Third Elder and Carl. However, he kept a low profile and seldom showed up in ordinary times. But after hearing what happened in the Cliff family, he couldn't be silent anymore, and he felt that something big was going to happen.
Soon, the Second Elder entered the room where the Senior Elder was. He walked behind the Senior Elder quietly. Seeing the Senior Elder looking outside and thinking about something, he did not disturb the Senior Elder but stood silent.
After a while, the Senior Elder said, "Buddy, you come to me because of Iwan, right?"
The Second Elder looked very solemn. After a long silence, he nodded and said, "Yes, Senior Elder, what do you want to do? Do you want to make sure that Iwan has something like that? Or is there anything else you want to do?" After the Second Elder said this, he lowered his head and didn't even dare to look at the Senior Elder in front of him. For a moment, his face was sweating.
It was cold outside, and the windows in this pavilion were open. The cold wind outside the window keeps pouring in, but the Second Elder was sweating. He looked nervous.
The next moment, the Senior Elder turned around and played with the bronze token in his hand. He smiled at the Second Elder and said, "Ha-ha, buddy, are you worried that I will take it away from Iwan?" Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
The Second Elder trembled. The Third Elder and Carl didn't know about the ancient bronze token, but he knew it. He was the Second Elder of the Dragon Kingdom, and he knew more secrets. At this moment, the Second Elder had more sweat on his back. He bowed his head and said, "I don't dare..."
"Ha-ha..." The Senior Elder looked at him, shook his head with a smile, and then said, "Buddy, what do you take me for? Don't forget that we are about the same age. Both of us are old. How can I be interested in taking something away from my junior?"
The Senior Elder paused, looked at the Second Elder with an extremely dignified face, and said in a deep voice, "Buddy, remember! Darcy only brought back a piece of black jade! It contains a drop of blood from a powerhouse in ancient times! There is nothing else! Do you... understand?"
The Second Elder shuddered, looked up at the Senior Elder in a daze, and nodded after a long time. He said seriously, "I understand!"
"Yeah... It's an eventful time, buddy. You should feel that there is something wrong with the Military Headquarters in Amerieland. One marshal in the Military Headquarters suddenly died, and the other was injured. According to reason, their strength should have been sapped. But they have four more powerhouses of the Emperor level in a short time! It's very unusual. Moreover, there are unusual changes in the Military Headquarters in the Eagle Kingdom in the west recently. What's more, those foreign alliances are formed again on the External Battlefield. Their target was none other than the Dragon Kingdom..." The Senior Elder looked a little more serious.
The Second Elder nodded, His face was also solemn as he said, "Yeah, the current situation is really dangerous. It's mainly because Iwan has been in the Dragon Kingdom for three months. He is so young, and the warriors under his command are young, too. Slay broke through to the Emperor level a few days ago. Once he made it, his combat power would be comparable to that of a powerhouse in the later-stage of the Emperor level. Some people are afraid that the Dragon Kingdom will rise again..."
The Second Elder took a deep breath, and there was a bit of worry in his eyes. He said, "Senior Elder, those foreign alliances can accept the fact that the warriors in the Heaven Domain are of the Emperor level, but they will attack when they find that those warriors have broken through the Emperor level. In the following days, Iwan and his Heaven Domain may be very dangerous. What... should we do? Should we continue to ignore it as before or..."
The Senior Elder smiled when he heard the words. However, he looked indifferent as he smiled. He took a deep breath and said with killing intent in his eyes, "Protect! We should protect Iwan in the future! Although the Heaven Domain is not in the charge of the Military Headquarters of the Dragon Kingdom, we're compatriots! We must protect them! It's useless to endure it!"
The Senior Elder continued to stare at the Second Elder and said, "Buddy, maybe... you and I will fight together again. In my opinion, no matter Iwan got that kind of thing five years ago or not, we should protect him! If those hidden idiots in the country dare to attack him, we will kill them. If those on the External Battlefield dare to attack, they have to kill us first! As seniors, we can't disappoint the younger generation!"
The Senior Elder became silent. Although the Dragon Kingdom looked very powerful on the surface, there were fatal crises both at home and abroad. One mistake might ruin the whole country. In the country, powerful families showed up one after another. Beyond the borders, foreign hostile countries were joining forces crazily and secretly, preparing to form a huge alliance again to snipe at the Dragon Kingdom just as they did a hundred years ago. At that time, more than a dozen foreign
countries invaded the territory of the Dragon Kingdom, misappropriated the resources, and seized the national fortune. They would never the scene a hundred years ago to happen again!
Even if they would die, they would never allow those foreign forces to step into the Dragon Kingdom again!
The Senior Elder was silent for a long time. Then he took a deep look at the Second Elder and said, "Buddy, remember that Rendon, Carl, the Third Elder, Carl, you, and I can die! But remember that after I die, you will take charge of the Dragon Kingdom. If you die, pass it on to the Third Elder. If the Third Elder dies, let Carl manage the country. If Carl dies, let Rendon do it! If Rendon dies, let Iwan be in charge of the country! This time, we won't bear it anymore! If they have the ability, they can turn back the wheel of our history!" At this moment, the Senior Elder looked domineering.
The Second Elder nodded very seriously and looked out of the window in the direction of the Miller family. His brief conversation with the Senior Elder had set the keynote of their attitude toward those hidden powerful families in the country and those hostile forces against the Dragon Kingdom outside the territory, as well as their attitude toward Iwan.
After the Senior Elder said that, he turned around and looked out of the window. Just like the Second Elder, he looked in the direction of the Miller family. Iwan was there at this time. The Senior Elder murmured in his heart, 'Just do it, Iwan. Don't be afraid. We are standing behind you! Ha-ha, we are still alive...'
......
Time passed by quickly, and soon it was four o'clock in the afternoon. The rain outside the window was gradually getting smaller. In a separate antique villa in the Miller family, Iwan was sleeping with Emily. Emily lay between Iwan and Jayna, and the room was lit with some soothing incense.
Emily was frightened, but she was accompanied and protected by Iwan and Jayna, so her face returned to its normal color.
The next moment, Emily opened her eyes. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Iwan lying beside her, so she smiled and said happily to Iwan, "Dad..."
Iwan bowed his head, kissed her on the small face, and said, "Yeah, dad is here. Don't think too much. Everything is all right now. Mom and dad are with you. Don't be afraid......"
Jayna also said to Emily, "Emily, mom and dad are with you..."
Emily nodded happily. Staying with Iwan and Jayna, she felt very safe. Especially when Iwan was here, she was really not afraid of anything.
After Emily woke up, Iwan and Jayna took Emily to play with Moira and others. Moira had started to prepare for the dinner party. Iwan brought Jayna and Emily here, which was a happy thing for the Miller family. Naturally, the dinner party was grand. Emily was so cute, so Sally and Moira played with her as soon as she went there. Emily was not shy with strangers. In addition, Jayna and Daisy were there. Those women kept talking.
At the dinner, the atmosphere was very nice. Oscar wanted to tell Iwan something else several times at the dinner table, but Iwan refused Oscar with his eyes. He knew what Oscar wanted to say to him, but Emily was scared on this day. He had to accompany Emily at night.
So, it was a quiet night. Iwan accompanied Emily to sleep, so Emily slept soundly. The next day morning, Iwan settled Emily and promised her again and again that he would not go to the Cliff family on this day, so Emily allowed him to leave.
"Iwan..." Jayna looked at Iwan with some worry. After all, what happened yesterday was too terrible. She didn't want Iwan to go to the Cliff family again.
Iwan shook his head at Jayna and said, "Don't worry. It's okay. I won't go to the Cliff family again, and it has been ruined, hasn't it? I've vented my anger. I'm going to ask my grandpa about my mother..."
Jayna was relieved. Then after reminding Iwan, she took Emily out to find Sally and Moira.
In Gotham City, it had been raining since yesterday morning, but the rain had eased off at this time. However, the air was a little cold. After Jayna and Emily left, Iwan stopped smiling. After looking up at the rain outside the window, he went to find his grandfather, Oscar.
......
Ten minutes later, in Oscar's study, Oscar looked at Iwan haggardly and said, "Iwan..." Oscar's voice was a little hoarse.
Iwan looked at Oscar and said, "Grandpa, five years ago, before my mother died, she gave me a very mysterious thing. It's very old. It's a..."
"Stop! Iwan, remember that your mother didn't give you anything before she died! She didn't give you anything! She only brought back a black jade pendant from that place before she died, which was the one carried by Andy!" Before Iwan finished speaking, Oscar's face changed greatly, and he quickly interrupted Iwan!
Oscar didn't know what Darcy gave to Iwan, nor did he want to know. Iwan was his grandson. He didn't want Iwan to be in trouble. Although Iwan was very powerful, there was definitely someone stronger in the world. If such a person attacked Iwan, could Iwan withstand it?
Iwan frowned deeply. After a while, he nodded. "Alright, grandpa, I understand. I think..."
But before Iwan finished speaking, his mobile phone suddenly rang. He looked down and saw a message from Rendon. "Your father Andy has gone to the cemetery in the Military Headquarters. I
think he's going to your mother's grave. Come quickly!"
After Iwan saw the message, his face changed greatly. The next moment, his figure disappeared in Oscar's study. He rushed out of the Miller family at a very fast speed, found a car, and rushed to the cemetery in the Military Headquarters. He didn't know what was wrong with Andy, but Andy wanted to go to the cemetery early in the morning!
There was a special cemetery in the western suburb of Gotham City, and it belonged to the Military Headquarters. The warriors who died in battles for the Military Headquarters and their wives could be buried there. It was the most valuable place in Gotham City, and it was guarded by several old Gods of War who retired from injuries. There was even a fully armed 1000-man troop. It was well- protected because no one could disturb the souls of those dead warriors...
That was why the God of War from the Patrick family went to threaten Oscar instead of attacking the cemetery. Once they attacked the cemetery of the Military Headquarters, the two families couldn't bear the anger of the Military Headquarters at all.
Darcy married into the Cliff family before, so she was the family member of a general. After all, Evan started to fight on the External Battlefield decades ago. Evan had a large piece of valuable land in the cemetery. The Cliff family built a big crypt there more than ten years ago, and Iwan's mother was buried there.
After receiving the news from Rendon, Iwan went there as fast as possible. By the time he arrived at the cemetery, Andy had entered the crypt.
"Andy! Do you want to die so much? My mother is dead. Do you want to disturb her?" Iwan was so angry that he didn't think much. After looking at Rendon who was standing on the crypt, he jumped down.
Soon, Iwan passed through a tunnel and saw Andy standing in front of Darcy's coffin. At this moment, Andy was holding Darcy's coffin with one hand.
Iwan's anger surged in an instant. He stared at Andy and yelled, "Andy! What do you want to do?" Iwan's eyes were cold.
Andy didn't look well at this moment, and he was in a very low spirit. He had very dark eye circles, and he seemed to be in a trance. He didn't sleep last night because there were too many doubts in his mind.
After Iwan arrived, Andy finally spoke. He stared at Iwan with tired eyes and said, "What do I want to do? You should ask your mother! What does Darcy want to do? Before she died, she gave me a jade pendant that affected my mind! Yesterday, you asked me why I could not wait to marry Lily, didn't you? Now tell me what happened to me back then!"
Andy took a deep breath, and a trace of malice flashed across his eyes. He said to Iwan, "Iwan! You can either kill me now or verify something with me!"
Iwan stared at Andy with cold eyes and asked, "Andy, what do you want to verify?"
"Verify... whether your mother is dead or not! I want to know... if there's someone in this coffin!" After speaking, Andy suddenly exerted his strength.
The next moment, there was a loud bang in the tomb. Darcy's huge coffin lid was pushed away by Andy in an instant...
