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?"
