Heaven Domain (Iwan Cliff)

Chapter 13 Before The Storm

Chapter 13 Before The Storm

It was still raining in the Central Region. In Southpool City and Pasoland City, the rain came down in torrents.

In a hotel in the downtown area of Pasoland City, Warrior No.1 settled Jayna and Emily, and then went out to carry on his task. At noon, Emily woke up again. But as soon as she woke up, she ran to the gate of the hotel and squatted there, looking at the rain outside. No matter how Jayna persuaded her, she refused to leave because she wanted to wait for her father to come back...

Watching Emily squatting at the gate and listening to her words, Jayna was mournful. She knew Iwan might never come back, but she didn't know how to explain it to Emily.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Jayna said with grief, "Emily, Warrior No.1 told you that even if dad could come back, you had to wait for two or three days, right? He won't come back today. The rain is too heavy. Don't catch a cold. Go back and wait for dad in the room, okay?"

However, Emily shook her head and said with a smile, "Mom, it's all right. If dad comes back earlier, he has to go upstairs to find me, so I'll wait for him here. In this way, he can see me as soon as he comes back. If you're tired, go up and have a rest. I'll wait for dad here..."

Emily spoke with a smile, but Jayna could tell how much she missed Iwan from her eyes. Emily had a feeling that Iwan would come back to her this day.

Jayna's eyes were brimming with tears. She raised her head and tried not to cry in front of Emily. With sadness in her heart, she comforted Emily, "Honey, listen to me, and you should believe Warrior No.1. Your dad won't come back today..."

Emily raised her head, looked at Jayna, and said, "Mom, I feel that dad will come back today. I'm serious. My intuition has been right. Last night, I felt that dad would save me. As a result, he really came to me! Then he drove away the bad guys! Mom, trust me! Dad will come back today. You have to believe me, mom..."

Jayna looked at Emily. After a while, she nodded and said with a smile, "Yeah, I believe you. Your dad will come back today..."

Jayna couldn't bear to deceive Emily again. She was extremely grieved. She didn't expect that her four-year-old daughter would be so sensible. Emily knew everything. In the past, Emily missed Iwan, but Emily didn't tell her. After seeing Iwan last night, Emily couldn't hide her feelings anymore. She was so eager to stay with Iwan...

"Iwan, you have to come back safely! Please! You may not know how much your daughter misses you!" Jayna gritted her teeth and tried not to cry, but her heart was filled with grief. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

She took a deep breath. Emily looked out again, so she took out her phone and sent a message to Scarlett. "No matter what, please help me. I can live without a husband, but Emily can't live without her father, please..." After sending the message, Jayna took a picture of Emily and sent it to Scarlett.

......

At the door of a luxury villa in the downtown area of Southpool City, Scarlett was dressed in a white dress and looked down at the two messages sent by Jayna. After reading the first text message, she looked at the photo of Emily. Then she paused and stood still for a long time.

At eight o'clock in the morning, her father Lucas had returned to Southpool City. She immediately told Lucas about what had happened to Iwan and asked him to help Iwan. Lucas asked her to go out after hearing her words. Lucas was very worried. After all, it was something big, and he had

always been at odds with John. Lucas had his own concerns. Although Scarlett kept begging him, he didn't make up his mind.

Scarlett stared at the photo of Emily for more than ten minutes. Then she took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and replied to Jayna with firm eyes. "Jayna, don't worry. I promise my father will definitely help Iwan!" Then she went back to the villa and continued to talk to her father!

Lucas was the No. 2 figure in Southpool City. He was second in line to John. Meanwhile, only the Mond family was equal to the Green family. The Mond family was less powerful than the Green family, but people in Southpool City believed that the Green family couldn't be much stronger than the Mond family. These years, with Lucas's efforts, the Mond family had been developing well, and they had their business in some other cities.

In the study of the villa, Lucas was thinking alone. Scarlett wanted him to get involved in the Green family's business, and he had been hesitating. Smart as he was, he knew that if two men rode on a horse, one must ride behind. He had to challenge the Green family sooner or later, and he knew this better than anyone. Even if he didn't get involved this time, he planned to probe the strength of the Green family.

Before he came back, he had made up his mind to go to the Green family and talk to John after he came back! But he didn't expect Iwan to attack Anton, the only son of John! Moreover, Anton was the heir of the Green family! Of course, Lucas regarded Anton as a good-for-nothing. He was happy to see Anton inherit the Green family.

He could get involved in the Green family's business with any excuse, but since it was about Anton, he had to be careful. Besides, he had got the news that John would attack Iwan this night.

Lucas sat in a chair, playing with two jade balls in his hand. From his position, he couldn't confront the Green family in this matter, or the whole Mond family would get involved. Iwan was the husband of his daughter's best friend, and he didn't have to take the risk for Iwan. But John knew what he

was thinking. In other words, even if he didn't trouble John, John would make things difficult for him sooner or later. Moreover, John was likely to use this chance to challenge the Mond family...

"Should I bet?" Lucas frowned hard, lit a cigarette, and took a deep draw on it. His temples pulsed a little, and he didn't know whether he should take the risk or not...

At this time, Scarlett pushed open the door of the study. As soon as she came in, she knelt on the ground and looked at Lucas with determination in her eyes.

With a frown, Lucas asked Scarlett, "What are you doing? I didn't say I wouldn't help your friend. Why do you have to kneel on the ground? Get up right now!"

Scarlett shook her head and said, "Dad, I know you're in a dilemma. In fact, I'm not stupid. I understand everything. Our family is going to battle with the Green family sooner or later. In Southpool City, only one family can be the winner! We can't coexist with the Green family peacefully. What's more, even if you want to hide your light, will John give us time? He won't. Dad, he's not stupid..."

Lucas kept nodding and said, "But Scarlett, you should understand that if we lose, our family will be finished..."

Hearing this, Scarlett suddenly looked up at Lucas with a bitter smile and said, "Ha-ha... Dad, in fact, we have lost, haven't we? More than ten years ago, John came to Southpool City alone. We had lost at that time, hadn't we? Now, all the big shots in Southpool City know that I let Jayna live in our villa for three days. If we retreat again, will we get another chance to fight back?"

Lucas's body trembled. He looked at Scarlett for a while before asking, "Did you... let Jayna live in our villa?"

Scarlett lowered her head and said, "Yes. Dad, Jayna lived here for the past few days. What's more, when Iwan disabled Anton, I stayed with Iwan..."

Lucas sighed deeply, "Alas! Scarlett, you shouldn't have done that..." The expressions in Lucas's eyes were extremely complicated. He had understood everything.

Scarlett said, "Dad, I'm sorry. I've got you and our family involved. I'm so sorry. In fact, I'm not just trying to help Jayna. I also want to fight with the Green family and prove our strength. Dad, now there's no turning back. I'm sorry..." Scarlett shook her head with mixed feelings.

"Yes, there's... no turning back... Alas..." Lucas murmured and then didn't speak anymore. Scarlett knelt on the ground and didn't intend to get up.

After a while, Lucas took a deep breath and stood up. With a commanding face, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Scarlett, inform the elders to come to the hall for a meeting immediately! Assemble all the forces of our family! We'll go to the Lakeside Villa! John warned us not to get involved, didn't he? Ha-ha... I'd like to see if he can act in a tyrannous manner!"

Scarlett's eyes lit up instantly. Lucas looked more and more aggressive, and he straightened his back! He added, "People seem to have forgotten that our family is the leader of the Southpool City! The Green family came from another city! I'd like to see whether John can defeat me or not!"

As the head of the family, Lucas made a decision when he heard Scarlett's last two sentences. When he faced John more than ten years ago, he admitted defeat, and then he lived under John's pressure for more than ten years! Therefore, he could never allow his daughter to admit defeat!

"Thank you, dad! I'll inform all my uncles and let them come for a meeting..." Scarlett got up with great joy and hurried out. She started to contact all the relatives she knew. Of course, she was happy for Jayna. She believed that her father could make it since he had made up his mind!

Southpool was completely in chaos. The Green family was taking action, and the Mond family had gone into action. As soon as the Green family left the Patrol Department, the Mond family went there. The city was descending into chaos, and all parties were making preparations. They were waiting for the evening to come...
