Heaven Domain (Iwan Cliff) novel Chapter 346

Chapter 346 Go Home 

The rush hour came as the night fell on Gotham. Traffic jams were everywhere, so it was already 7 P.M. when Iwan made it to the gate of the Miller residence by car. He didn't know if his family had had dinner, and he didn't tell anyone that he was coming home. 

On the road, when Iwan was driving the car, seeing people on the streets through the windshield, and viewing the landscapes of the modern city in the evening, he felt a little dazed. 

He felt dazed because it felt like another world to him. The world he knew seemed really far from this city. 

Lovers were walking on the streets in this city, hand in hand. Fathers let their daughters ride on their necks. Some people were having dinner in restaurants. Iwan, at this moment, felt like an outsider, watching everything that was happening in this city. 

It hadn't been long since he left Gotham, only a dozen days had passed. But he had undergone too many things, subjectively prolonging a dozen days to a whole month or even longer to him. 

Ten days ago, he left for the External Battlefield to assemble Heaven Domain and carry out a raid on the Military Headquarters of the Canedy Kingdom across the ocean. Then, he joined the four Elders on the western continent to slash down the national fortune of the Poghu Kingdom. 

Next, he came back to the External Battlefield to fight the battle in the Black Emperor's Ashram. Later, he expanded the battle to the Lion Quarter. After that, he returned to the External Battlefield for the third time to make preparations for war. In the end, he came back to Gotham for the incoming battle against the four super-powerful sects. 

He had been through eight battles in ten days, and each of the battles was one of life and death. Whatever kind of negligence could take his life away. Luckily, he made it at last. 

Although he made it, the incessant battles did wear him out mentally. However, these battles were worth it. 

At the gate of the Miller residence, when the dozen well-trained soldiers of the Military Headquarters of the Dragon Kingdom that were guarding the Miller residence saw Iwan return, they were surprised and squared their shoulders to salute Iwan. 

Right at the moment these guards were about to go inside to inform the Millers of Iwan's return, Iwan stopped them. Looking at the gate of the Miller residence, Iwan could sense the existence of his family inside the residence. He let a load off his heart. 

The family that he cared about so much was here, all of them. 

It was at this moment that Iwan felt these battles he fought on the External Battlefield were all worth it. All these wounds he took were worth it, as long as he could go home after the battles ended. 

This was the place he would risk his life to protect. 

... 

In the conference hall of the Miller residence, members of the Millers were chatting after dinner. As it was getting colder and colder in Gotham, the Miller residence, heated up by the radiant floors and central radiator, could shut the coldness out of its gate. 

Oscar Miller was chatting with Evan Cliff over things happening domestically and internationally. These two old men had entered the Emperor level already, but they were forbidden from battlefields by the fixed order from the four Elders of the Dragon Kingdom. 

The only order they had since received was to stay at home to protect Jayna and Emily, the two women that Iwan cared about most. 

"Grand-grandpas, I want to watch cartoons. Play me some cartoons!" Emily, who was in a white turtleneck with a tiny pair of white boots, gamboled to the front of Oscar and Evan. She started waving their hands like a spoiled baby. 

But before the two could reply, Jayna had walked behind Emily. She held her up and took her away. 

"You can't watch. Have you finished your homework yet? Go to finish your homework first if you haven't..." Jayna, who was in a grey wind coat and wearing grey stockings, glared at Emily. 

Emily locked her puppy's eyes on Jayna and pleaded, "Mom, I just need to watch one episode, just one, okay? It doesn't have to be cartoons! I can watch fishermen picking up crabs and shells! Please, mom, I just want to watch one episode..." 

"Well, Jayna, let her watch one episode of 'Backkom'. Just one episode." Evan and Oscar felt sorry for Emily, so they were also pleading. Somehow, the two patriarchs of two famous families, Emperors, would feel a bit perturbed when facing Jayna. 

"Grandpas, you spoiled Emily too much. You can't always treat a child like that." Jayna put on a wry smile upon hearing them. 

Emily had already been a bit spoiled since Evan and Oscar started to indulge her. The two would do anything to get Emily what she wanted. 

It was easy for the two to fulfill Emily's needs, for one of them was rich as hell and the other was the commander of the Military. Grandparents always spoil grandchildren. They both felt like sitting on pins and needles whenever Emily wasn't around. They'd feel something missing in their life and meals no longer be tasty. 

"No way! Go to finish your homework first! You have classes tomorrow morning! Go back to your room and stop acting like a baby!" Jayna didn't compromise seeing Emily and the two old men pleading. 

"No, mom." Emily dropped her shoulders immediately like an adult whose dream died down. Evan Cliff and Oscar felt very sorry seeing Emily like this, but when they saw the serious look on Jayna's face, the two elders couldn't say a word.. 

At this moment, a chuckle came from the door, "Haha, Jayna, let her watch one episode. She can finish her homework later." 

"No way, she... What?" Jayna replied but paused for a moment. Then, she quivered, looked through the window, and fix her eyes on suited Iwan who was smiling at her. 

"I'm home, Jayna." Iwan nodded at Jayna, with deep affection in his eyes.
