Chapter 12 The Meeting in the Gotham City
There were four people in the conference room in the Military Headquarters in Gotham City. They were the most powerful and respectable elders in the Dragon Kingdom. The top commander of the Military Headquarters, Rendon, was only qualified to stand in front of them. Last night, Rendon called the Senior Elder, and then they gathered here to discuss the way to deal with the Heaven Domain...
They did not eat or drink anything all night, and they all looked very dignified. The Heaven Domain was special. It wasn't an external force, because all the warriors in the Heaven Domain were from the Dragon Kingdom. Although the Heaven Domain had helped the Dragon Kingdom annihilate many hostile forces over the years, it didn't belong to the Dragon Kingdom. Therefore, it was troublesome to deal with this matter. After all, after annihilating the Archfield Organization, the Heaven Domain had become the strongest force outside the kingdom.
"Patter..." In the conference room, the Senior Elder tapped the table with his fingers and frowned hard. Time went by slowly. It was eleven o'clock in the morning.
After a while, the Senior Elder asked Rendon, "Is there any latest news?"
Rendon wiped the cold sweat on his cheek and didn't answer him immediately. Instead, he fiddled with the projector beside the wall. The next moment, Southpool City was projected onto the wall. Then Rendon showed them the pictures of the four gates of Southpool City. Four people sat beside the four gates separately and quietly. Seeing the four people, Rendon felt more depressed.
He pointed to the four people and said, "They're the Four Masters of Heaven, the top-notch warriors in the Heaven Domain. Each of them is super powerful. The latest news is that they have blocked the four gates of Southpool City..."
The Senior Elder frowned again and asked subconsciously, "Why do they block the city gates?"
After pondering for a while, he said, "The Heaven Domain has helped us many times outside the kingdom. But this time, they aim at the Green family, and the Green family is in the Dragon Kingdom! It is not good..."
The one who answered him just now was the Fourth Elder. He was the supreme officer of the Military Headquarters. He said, "However if we want to get involved, I'm afraid we can't avoid conflict with them..." The Fourth Elder looked more serious after he said this. He was lost in thought.
At this time, the Second Elder asked, "Carl, in your opinion, do we have a chance of winning if we fight with the Heaven Domain?"
The Fourth Elder was named Carl. He was the youngest among the most powerful four elders. Hearing the Second Elder's words, he said without thinking, "Ha-ha... Do we have a chance of winning? Of course, we will win. No matter how strong the Heaven Domain is, we can annihilate them as long as we can fight at all costs. It's not the problem. The problem is that they're in the Dragon Kingdom, so we can't use large-scale weapons! Of course, if we only send superb warriors to fight with them, we can get what we want, but the price is too big..." Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
Hearing this, the Senior Elder asked subconsciously, "What price will we pay to annihilate them?"
Carl was silent after he heard the Senior Elder's question. After a long time, he took a deep breath, and said with a very serious and dignified face, "The first way is to let the Immortal Force fight with them. A conservative estimate of the result is that two or three warriors will be killed! At present, we can only contact five warriors in the Immortal Force! The second way is that I'll lead the Military Headquarters to fight with them. The result is likely to be that the Military Headquarters will suffer a great loss. Over the years, the development of the Military Headquarters isn't very good. What's more, I might be killed by the Lord of the Heaven Domain!" Carl sighed deeply, and his face looked more dignified.
"What? Is the Lord of the Heaven Domain so powerful? Is he strong enough to kill you?" Hearing Carl's words, the Senior Elder raised his eyebrows. He was shocked.
Carl nodded and said to the Senior Elder, "I'm serious. When the Heaven Domain annihilated the Archfield Organization six months ago, I battled with the Lord of the Heaven Domain. We pushed each other. He took a step backward, but I took a step and a half backward! Of course, I didn't use my best at that time, but he didn't, either!"
"Oh my..." The Senior Elder and the Second Elder gulped in surprise. They didn't expect that they had to pay such a big price to annihilate the Heaven Domain.
At this time, Rendon nodded bitterly and said, "The Fourth Elder is right. The Heaven Domain is very powerful. They develop too fast. Unlike any organization that has been famous for a long time outside the kingdom, the Heaven Domain has only been established for five years. They win their fame by their strength. On the battlefield outside the Dragon Kingdom, they have annihilated hundreds of powerful organizations!"
After saying these words, Rendon paused. Then he gritted his teeth and added, "Please forgive me for making bold to say something. I want to tell you what I think. I feel that the Heaven Domain and the Lord of the Heaven Domain are friendly to the Dragon Kingdom. Moreover, the reason why the Lord of Heaven Domain wants to attack the Green family is that some people in the Dragon Kingdom have gone too far. It's not the Heaven Domain's fault, but ours..."
Saying this, Rendon projected a picture on the wall. It was the picture of Iwan standing in the pigsty holding his daughter who was in a coma last night...
Rendon looked at the picture, gritted his teeth, and said, "He did so many things to help the Dragon Kingdom outside the kingdom, but his wife suffers a lot here! His biological daughter is only about four years old, but she was locked up in a pigsty, and she could only eat swill! To be honest, if my daughter was treated like this, I might be more furious than the Lord of the Heaven Domain!"
"What? Is there such a terrible thing in our kingdom? How dare they! This is too much!" When the Senior Elder saw Iwan holding his unconscious daughter who was vomiting blood in the pigsty, he suddenly slammed the table and stood up.
The expression in the Second Elder's eyes changed. He went berserk and scolded Rendon, "How could such a thing happen under your stewardship?"
Rendon immediately bowed his head and said, "I'm sorry. Such a thing happened, and it was my dereliction..."
The Third Elder was dressed in a black tunic and trousers. He had gray hair and looked kind. After remaining silent for a long time, he said, "Alright, don't blame Rendon. The Dragon Kingdom is too big, and it has been developing rapidly over these years, so some regulations are far from perfect. Rendon monitors the nine regions every day, and he's busy. I agree with what he said just now. Let me tell you something I know..."
What he said next stunned everyone. He smiled and said, "Don't worry. This matter is not as serious as you think. In fact, I... know the Lord of the Heaven Domain!"
"What? Do you know Iwan?" The Senior Elder looked at him in great surprise.
There was nostalgia in the Third Elder's eyes. He smiled and nodded, "Yeah, I know him. You remember that I was trapped in Afrieland last year, right? He saved me. In addition to me, he saved more than eight hundred people from the Dragon Kingdom. He is a very nice young man..."
The Third Elder paused, looked at them, and said, "What's more, he has a sort of connection with you..."
The Second Elder frowned slightly and asked suspiciously, "Is that so?"
The Third Elder took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "Yeah, he was born in the family of a general! He is Evan's grandson!"
"Impossible!" Hearing this, Carl immediately stood up in shock and said in disbelief, "Don't lie to me. I have been friends with Evan for many years. He has only two grandchildren. Although I can't remember their names, neither of them is named Iwan!"
When Carl finished his words, the Senior Elder, the Second Elder, and Rendon who stood there nodded in agreement. They naturally knew Evan, one of the founders of the Dragon Kingdom. Although Evan was old, he was one of the top ten big shots in the Military Headquarters! At this time, he was defending Euroland.
The Third Elder's face darkened as he looked at them. He nodded and said, "I didn't lie to you. It's true. It's just a name, and he can change his name. Have you forgotten what happened in the Cliff family six years ago? Evan couldn't leave Euroland, so Carl went to the Cliff family, didn't he?" After finishing his words, the third Elder looked at Carl.
Carl's face suddenly changed when he heard this. He stared at the Third Elder, and his mind suddenly went blank. Subconsciously, he said immediately, "Is it him? He's Christ! That's right. Evan has two grandsons. His eldest grandson is named Christ. Six years ago, something happened in the Cliff family, and his stepmother drove him out of the family. Then I didn't hear any news about him... I didn't expect Iwan to be Christ! What has he experienced in the past six years? He has become different!"
The Third Elder said in a deep voice, "What has he experienced? Ha-ha... As soon as his mother died, his father gave his stepmother the status of legitimate wife. He was driven out of the family that day, and his father disinherited him. Then the Smith family broke off the engagement with him, and his younger brother tried to poison him and kill him. Do you understand why he grew up so quickly now? It's because he carries too many burdens..."
After the Third Elder finished speaking, he remained silent. The others in the conference room didn't speak, either. After meeting Iwan one year ago, the Third Elder sent someone to investigate Iwan secretly. At that time, Iwan thought that the Third Elder was an ordinary old man in the Dragon Kingdom, so he didn't intend to hide something from him. As a result, the Third Elder found out Iwan's true identity that year!
After a long silence, the Third Elder sighed and said, "He's a nice young man who was born in the Dragon Kingdom. What's more, he's Evan's grandson. We can't fight with him and let him down, not to mention that we can't defeat him now! Talk with him. He has endured his hatred for six years, and he established such a great force in the External Regions. Moreover, now he knows he has a daughter here, so he won't leave here for the time being. Just talk to him. He's the future of the Dragon Kingdom!"
Carl nodded and said, "That's good! Ha-ha, it turns out he's Evan's grandson! Nice! I've made up my mind to let him be my successor! I'll go to Southpool later and talk to him in person! He's the Lord of Heaven Domain, isn't he? His status is high, so it's improper for Rendon to talk to him. Let me meet him!"
At this time, Rendon's phone suddenly rang. After checking the message, he quickly said, "I received a message from the Patrol Department in Southpool. Michael went to the Patrol Department and threatened them not to get involved in this matter. They will deal with Iwan tonight..." When Rendon said this, his expression was quite mocking.
Michael was from the Green family. How could the Green family be so arrogant? Even the most powerful elders in the Dragon Kingdom were afraid of the Heaven Domain, but they wanted to annihilate the Heaven Domain! They had no clear estimation of themselves, and they were all stupid...
Hearing Rendon's words, Carl was so mad but he laughed. He sneered and said, "The Green family in Southpool City? How dare they bully my grandson! It's too much! Will they attack Iwan tonight? Alright! I'll ruin the Green family tonight!"
"Well, when did Iwan become your grandson? Carl, you're too shameless, aren't you?" The Second Elder looked at Carl helplessly.
Carl laughed and said unconcernedly, "Evan and I are best friends, so his grandson is my grandson!"
The Senior Elder took a deep breath and said, "Should we inform Evan? Iwan is his grandson..."
The Third Elder thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "Don't tell him. Iwan has suffered too much over the years. This time, he definitely wants to take revenge on the Cliff family. Let him come by himself..."
The Senior Elder nodded. Then the Third Elder took off a black dragon ring on his hand, handed it to Carl, and said, "Carl, help me give this ring to the little girl. By the way, tell Iwan to visit me if he comes to Gotham City..."
Carl looked at the Third Elder in surprise and said, "You've been wearing this ring all your life. Do you want to give it to Iwan's daughter?"
There was a trace of guilt in the Third Elder's eyes. He said, "It's okay. It's just a ring. Iwan has done so much for the Dragon Kingdom these years. We all owe him. The ring is a token of my regard..."
The Third Elder said in a relaxed tone, but Carl took the ring very seriously. Everyone here knew how meaningful and powerful the ring was. A lot of the time, this ring was a powerful amulet!
After the discussion, Carl took a deep breath and said with a very serious face, "Don't worry. I'll go to Southpool City right now! Believe me! Iwan has done so much for the Dragon Kingdom! I won't
disappoint him!"
Meanwhile, Carl had made up his mind to ruin the Green family. He said, "I'll let the Green family... pay the price!"
