Chapter 172 Grandfather and Granddaughter Head for Gotham Together (1)
"Haha... what a good child..." Evan couldn't help but feel gratified when he looked at Emily. This was the first time he had met such a sensible child.
Then he continued to ask Emily, "How old are you? What's your name?"
Emily said with a very cute smile, "Old grandpa, I'm Emily, Emily Brown. I'm four and a half years old. I'm about to be five... then what's your name?"
Evan squatted and said with a smile, "Um, I'm Evan Cliff. I'm 72. I'm 68 years older than Emily."
Emily tilted her little head and said, "Your family name is also Cliff, old grandpa? Hee hee, you're the same as my dad. My dad's family name is also Cliff. Are you a soldier?"
Evan froze but then nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, right, I'm a soldier. I've been a soldier outside. By the way, your dad's family name is Cliff, but why is your family Brown?" He felt very happy when he saw this little girl, having a strong wish to chat with her for a little more while, but he didn't know why. This was communication between two generations-an old one and a young one. One was aging and about to die, while the other was a newborn life with an inestimable future.
Emily suddenly said excitedly, "Old grandpa, my dad is also a soldier! But he had been away when my mom was pregnant with me. He didn't come back. That's why my family name is Brown."
Hearing Emily's words, Evan could not help but feel a little sad. This was the soldier of the Dragon Kingdom! He was away for five years, and he was not present when his child was born. When he came back, his child was already a little girl. Thinking of this, Evan felt an urge to cry. He continued to talk to Emily with a smile, "Oh, I see. Then your dad must be very powerful, right?"
Emily nodded and said, "Yes, right, my dad is a God of War of the Dragon Kingdom! I heard Uncle Warrior No. 1 say that my dad seems to be the most powerful God of War of the External Regions! My dad is very powerful! He held a wedding for my mom two months ago! And the company behind us is also my dad's. But my grandma now says that my dad is going to Gotham to report on his work these days, so he let my mom take over the company."
"What? Your dad is a God of War of the External Regions? And Morgan Group is also your dad's? Then what's your dad's name?" Evan and the personal guard behind him all trembled violently. Both of them showed great shock in their eyes. They had never expected that the girl they had randomly met was the child of a soldier from the External Regions! And her dad was also a God of War of the External Regions! And he should be a young one! He was not only a God of War of the External Regions, but he had also built up such a powerful group company-Morgan Group!
"What a peerless hero! The little girl is very young, and her dad is certainly not that old. Is it Peter?" After thinking for a moment, Evan denied it because the little girl said her dad was also surnamed Cliff! Now Evan was astonished.
Emily said very proudly, "Um... um, old grandpa, my dad is Iwan Cliff. Do you know him? My dad is very powerful. The day he held the wedding for my mom, so many soldiers came. So many!"
Evan looked back at the personal guard, but the guard shook his head after thinking for a while. After all, some of the Gods of War of the Dragon Kingdom had secretive missions, and their names were not on the register. Only those few supreme heads of the country knew their contact information.
Evan didn't doubt what the little girl said. But when he was about to speak again, Emily suddenly took out the black dragon-pattern ring hanging around her neck, handed it to him, and said, "Old grandpa, then whose ring do you know this is? My dad says it is a kind old grandpa's gift to me. I've been hoping to thank him, but I can't find him. I don't know who he is. I asked my dad, but he didn't tell me."
Evan didn't take the black ring in Emily's hand seriously in the beginning. Yet, when he looked at it carefully the next moment, he was appalled and immediately stood up. Then he held the ring tightly in his hand and said, "How... how... how could this be possible! This is the third elder's black dragon ring! How could this be possible!!!"
Seeing that Evan obviously knew this ring, Emily instantly asked, "Uh? What's wrong with you, old grandpa? You know this ring, right? Oh, that's great. Then could you tell me which old grandpa gave me this?"
"General, this little girl's father is no ordinary man! This is the third elder's black dragon ring. With this ring, one can mobilize tens of thousands of troops from any Military Headquarters! But... but why did the third elder have to give it to a little girl?" the personal guard behind Evan asked with great shock.
After a long while, Evan inhaled deeply and suppressing his shock, said, "Man of the state! The third elder would only give it to the man of the state he truly approved! This is the amulet he gave this child!"
Then Evan squatted on his heels with a very serious face and said to Emily, "Emily, you can call the old grandpa who gave you this ring third grandpa. He's in Gotham. When you arrive in Gotham, if your dad doesn't take you to him, I will, okay? This ring is very important. You must take good care of it. You should never show it to others in the future. Remember?"
Emily nodded seriously and put the ring away. Then she made a little finger-hooking gesture seriously and said to Evan, "Yes, I do. Then, old grandpa, let's hook fingers. I promise I won't show the ring Third Grandpa gave me to others so easily."
