Chapter 71 Scarlett's Suspicion
Iwan left in the morning only after staying in Morgan Group for a while. He recalled the previous feelings, which he had had five years ago. Yes, the Morgan Tower had been built that year.
He had left, but the top families and elites in Cleveque City were still uneasy. Now they were even tenser. All of them were shrinking their forces, careful and cautious. They did not dare to be as unruly as they had been because a rumor had been spread to all those at the senior levels of the city overnight.
The rumor was: when they got home last night, Bob Waldorf, head of the Waldorf family, and Carl Bass, head of the Bass family, were all scared shitless-they had to be supported to walk, their faces ashen. Lawrence Wilson, of the Patrol Department, Charles Crawford, of the City Hall, were both the same. A little later, the Waldorf family and the Bass family announced that they would fully support Morgan Group, opening up all kinds of cooperation with it in all fields of Cleveque City.
The moguls having good relations with Bob Waldorf and Carl Bass visited them that night, hoping to get some information. Yet, they only got a few words: Jason was already dead; Morgan Group got a new leader, who was a peerless strongman; they should never offend him! They should never offend him! This news also astonished the city's top circles overnight. Instantly, everyone felt unsafe!
Of course, Iwan did not care about these things. He wouldn't waste time on unnecessary procedures when doing things. Instead, he would always finish his tasks as fast as possible. As for the fear and shock of the people in Cleveque City, he couldn't be bothered to care about them. As long as those people didn't come to offend him, he wouldn't have the mood to suppress them.
Iwan had flown back to Pasoland by air in the morning. He landed in Cleveque City yesterday, and he left this morning. His stay was less than a day, but he had astonished the people there, which
they would never forget in their lives. After he left, Morgan Group released a series of official announcements, covering up what had happened yesterday with the excuse of various wrong operations. Therefore, some of the citizens who had not realized anything truly believed them because everything had happened so fast-the best of the top group companies in the city was subverted overnight!
When Iwan got back in Pasoland, Jayna drove a car to pick him up at the airport, and Emily went with her. She was really afraid that her father would be away for a very long time.
"Dad, dad, dad..." When Iwan walked out of the airport hall, Emily threw herself into his arms in great joy and began kissing him on the face.
"Hey, my good baby, look, I've done what I promised you! I'm truly back! I didn't lie to you, right? ... Look at the little toy I brought you..." As he kissed her on her small round cheek, he took a yellow duck toy out of his pocket and handed it to her.
"Thank you, dad. Thank you, dad. I want to be lifted, I want to be lifted..." As soon as she took the toy with great joy, Emily began asking Iwan to hold her aloft.
"Emily! Your dad has just come back. He has been busy for a whole day. He's tired. Don't mess around..." Jayna said to Emily. Now she was wearing a pair of sunglasses, a black long dress, and a pair of black high-heeled shoes.
Iwan lifted Emily up, letting her sit on his shoulder. Keeping her steady with one hand and holding Jayna's thin hand with the other, he said, "Nothing. I'm not tired. Let's go. Go home..."
The moment Iwan held her hand, Jayna's heart pounded with her face turning slightly red. But she nodded when hearing his words. Then she asked a little worriedly, "Did you get everything done this time in Cleveque City?"
Jayna was really a little worried because she remembered that when Iwan escaped five years ago, he had told her that the one who had betrayed him was in Cleveque City. Because of this, Jayna had been a little worried after Iwan left yesterday afternoon. She was a woman anyway. Although she knew that Iwan was very strong and seemed to be a good fighter, she believed that Iwan was just a soldier from the special forces. But he was no longer a member of the Military Headquarters.
Therefore, after he left yesterday afternoon, something had been weighing on her mind, and she had been awake last night. On the one hand, she was worried that something would happen to him, on the other hand, she was afraid that he would do something violating the law impulsively. If that was true, the family of three, who had reunited with so much difficulty, had to separate again. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
Iwan could see the worry in her eyes, so he nodded at her with a smile and said, "Don't worry. When I arrived in Cleveque City, I finally found that the man who betrayed me back then was already dead. He died in a car accident. Alas, or I wouldn't have returned so soon, would I?" Iwan emphasized the last few words about his return.
Jayna thought about it and believed him. Iwan had just spent one night there, and he had returned this morning. If he had really gone to deal with the traitor, one night wouldn't have been enough. Only then was she greatly relieved. After that, she held Iwan's hand to comfort him, "Then don't think too much! The person has finally paid for his evil act. Let the past pass. Don't think about it anymore..."
Iwan nodded with a smile because his wife was easy to fool. He was helpless. If he told her his real identity and those things he had done in the External Regions over the years, he believed that she would be scared sick.
For example, he could easily go to a small kingdom's royal family to drink and chat with them or sit on their king's throne for a while; he owned many islands and banks in the External Regions; if he
wanted to meet the leaders of some foreign nations, they would have to arrange it in a hurry, and so on. But he could not tell her these things now.
He would play it by ear, and he would do it slowly. These years, Jayna had been in these small places, and her horizons had been restrained. When she arrived in Cleveque City, he would tell her a few things bit by bit. Then it would be easier for her to accept them, he thought.
"For example, in Cleveque City, the Military Headquarters of the Dragon Kingdom suddenly restored my God of War's identity? Haha... this is very good..." he thought.
He smiled. Keeping Emily steady on his neck with one hand and holding the hand of his beautiful wife, Jayna, he was walking out of the airport.
After they left, someone suddenly watched with a frown in the direction they were heading and mumbled, "I think I seemed to have just seen the princess of our Pasoland City and the hero of the Grand Wedding, right?"
With her mumbling, those around her immediately paused because they had just felt the same: the two adults and the child were a little familiar. Jayna wore a pair of sunglasses, and Iwan had just been filmed a few times at the Grand Wedding, so they did not recognize them immediately. Now, when everyone looked at one another, they suddenly realized that they had felt the same thing.
"Fu*k, that was her! The mistress of Pasoland! And also her husband, the God of War! Go check it out..." The next moment, someone in the crowd at the airport suddenly realized it and shouted before rushing out to pursue them. When these people were out, Jayna had driven away.
On the way home, Iwan sat in the back row with Emily in his arms. After glancing around the crowd taking photos of them from behind, he said to Jayna, "Jayna, just now, you must have felt like you were a star, right?"
Jayna's heart pounded. As she drove, she said, "Yes, but fortunately, we moved fast. I also wear a pair of glasses, and I've changed my hairstyle. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to go out..."
Iwan smiled and began playing with the little yellow duck toy with Emily...
When the three of them were home, of course, Skyler, his mother-in-law, had prepared a big table full of delicious food. Now, a few days had passed since the Grand Wedding, but she had not come back to earth yet. She was still in excitement because the seniors would fix their eyes on her no matter where she went every time. They would surround her and praise her in various ways. Naturally, she was very excited.
Scarlett Mond had not left yet. Jayna had forced her to stay, saying that she must stay here for a few more days, and then she stayed. To be honest, she had been in shock since her father had told her a part of Iwan's identity in the afternoon before the Grand Wedding.
And she really didn't think Iwan was only a God of War in the Dragon Kingdom. Not to mention anything else, Josh Piper, the God of War in the Central Region also at the level of the God of War, was so respectful to Iwan, and so were her father, Lucas Mond, the richest and most powerful person in Southpool City, and Dawson Gill and Eden Addison in Pasoland. They behaved as if they were his subordinates.
Yesterday she had heard Jayna say that Iwan was going to Cleveque City. Her father was in the city, and she got the news that Dawson Gill and Eden Addison had also gone to the city.
Last night, Scarlett got her sixth sense somewhere-she suddenly went to read the news about Cleveque City. After reading the news, she was so scared that her heart came to her throat. Something quite influential happened in the city yesterday. Morgan Group, the biggest group company there, changed drastically overnight-it was terminated by a mysterious force. When it was late last night, it changed dramatically again, returning to normal in one night, as if the incident yesterday had never happened before.
The news she read said that the wrong management of Morgan Group and the operation errors of the workers at lower levels had caused the fire, but Scarlett didn't believe it!
It was because she saw the side of her father's face in a picture taken at the scene in a news report! It was her father, Lucas Mond! And there were also Dawson Gill and Eden Addison!
Therefore, at the moment, when she looked at Iwan, who had returned to Pasoland this morning, eating with her at the same table, she had a great suspicion. After Iwan sat down, she could not help but glance at him a few more times. "This man is too mysterious, and he has been so calm. It seems he doesn't care about the deprivation of his God of War's identity at all..." she thought.
Iwan perceived that Scarlett, sitting opposite him beside Jayna, had been watching him, so he asked her involuntarily with a smile, "Miss Mond, why have your eyes been on me? What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
"No... no. When I was reading the news about Cleveque City last night, I found something shocking happened there. Morgan Group, the topmost group company in the city, has gone through drastic changes. I'm hoping to ask you if you heard of it when you were there..." Scarlett pretended to ask Iwan causally.
After hearing it, Iwan shrank his pupils, saying inwardly, "This woman has a keen sense!" Then he shook his head at Scarlett with a smile and said, "Oh, I know nothing about it! Last night, when I arrived in Cleveque City, I drank with a few friends, and I drank a little too much. After that, I fell asleep and came back this morning, so I didn't pay so much attention to what you said... Miss Mond, what's the matter? You pay a lot of attention to it?"
"Oh... no, no, I just learned something from the news. You happened to be in Cleveque City, so I came up with the question casually..." Scarlett said hurriedly. Then she lowered her head to eat.
At this moment, Jayna smiled at Scarlett and said, "Scarlett, Iwan went to Cleveque City to look for someone, so he probably didn't pay a lot of attention to what you said. Well, keep eating..."
"Yes, yes." Scarlett lowered her head and replied with two yeses, but all kinds of thoughts swarmed into her mind, simply because when she stared at Iwan, she found a detail-Iwan paused for a moment before answering her question. Besides, after such a shocking event, the whole city had been overwhelmed by the smog last night. The thing was so influential, but how come Iwan, who had been there for a day, didn't know anything about it? This was so unreasonable!
Above all, she also saw Lucas Mond (her father), Dawson Gill, and Eden Addison in a photo taken at Morgan Group.
"If, if it was Iwan who asked my father and his companions to do the thing to Morgan Group, then how astonishing the real identity of the man in front of me would be..." Scarlett's brain was full of thoughts. "Iwan is so confident. It is from his bones, not something he tries to show. He has so strong temperament and vibe..."
