Heaven Domain (Iwan Cliff)

Chapter 90 Another Big Event

Chapter 90 Another Big Event

In Gotham City, no matter how regretful Fiona was and what she thought in her heart, Iwan wouldn’t care at all. Christ Cliff, the man he used to be, had been dead for five years. He was now Iwan Cliff, the man who had fought countless battles in the External Regions, established the Heaven Domai and was now the Giant God! He had also married the woman he loved, who now had a lovely daughter with him.

Therefore, how could he give up all this and go back to/get back together with the insidious woman who dumped him once? It was definitely impossible. Iwan never even wanted to see Fiona again in his life, let alone go meet and talk to her.

An hour ago, at eleven o'clock in the morning. In the president's office of the headquarters building of the Bass Group in Cleveque City, Jane Cook, who was an executive manager of a department under the Bass Group, wearing the lady’s suit and with long hair, was standing in front of Jaxton Bass, the president of the Bass Group.

Jaxton was the second eldest of the Bass family and the younger brother of Owen Bass, the head of the Bass family. He was in his sixties. Although his hair had turned all grey, his eyes were sharp. With a square face and deep eyes, he looked intimidating. Even Jane, an experienced businesswoman in Cleveque City, had to be respectful to him and dared not offend him.

This morning, when Jaxton called her to come here, Jane felt extremely confused. Under the strict rank rules of the Bass Group, she was not at the rank where she could talk to Jaxton face to face, but she daren’t ask the reason because at this moment she saw Jaxton was reading her personal profile attentively.

After a full ten minutes, Jaxton looked up at Jane who was standing straight in front of him with a strong aura, asking, "You have practiced martial arts. What rank are you in now?"

Jane was shocked in her heart. She looked up at Jaxton of a sudden. She didn’t understand how Jaxton found out about it. She had started learning taekwondo and kung fu since she was a child. Ever since then, she had fallen in love with martial arts and had been practicing non-stop over the years. Apart from her closest family and friends, almost no one knew about this matter, and she had never written it down on her resume once. So, how did Jaxon find it?

Jane had a lot of thoughts before she admitted it in a serious tone, "Yes, Mr. Bass. I can fight, and I’m a good fighter. According to the standards of Military Headquarters of the Dragon Kingdom, I should be a Five-Star fighter now, or even a Half-a-Step God of War, although I can't be sure of it for now..." Jane felt extremely proud as she said. She was indeed a good fighter. She was a pretty woman, and naturally, there had been a lot of men who tried to harass her both in college and at work. However, with her fighting skills, she had never let even one of them succeed. When she was in college, she had also protected Jayna many times from the rascals by scaring them off.

Jaxton nodded in satisfaction and said, "Well, very good. Don't be surprised. It's not too difficult to find out your direct lineage with the power of the Bass family, and you should not be too modest, Miss Cook. According to my calculations, you had had the power of a Half-a-Step God of War since a year ago."

Jane nodded and asked with a frown, "Yes. May I ask you a question, Mr. Bass? Why do you ask me this? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with my job, and I think I've been working very hard in the past few years since I got here."

Jaxton smiled and said, "No, these things are highly related."

"Hmm?" Jane was even more puzzled.

Jaxton then said, "Because you will have a new job, which requires you to have some strength."

"What kind of job is it? Please tell me, Mr. Bass. I'm not sure if I can live up to your expectations without knowing the details,’" Jane said cautiously.

Jaxton said, "In two hours, the supreme genius of the Bass family, Hannah Bass, will arrive in Cleveque City on a steamer. She will soon be in charge of some very important projects. You should have already heard that some senior executives in the Bass Group have been waiting for her return. We have been expecting her since half a year ago. We, the Bass Group, have also invested tens of billions of money six months ago to newly establish NAH Technology."

"So, are you saying that you are going to transfer me there?" Jane suddenly got excited. That was Hannah, the supreme genius of the Bass family, or even the supreme genius in the entire Cleveque City. She had been dying to meet Hannah since a long time ago, and now she was extremely excited that she could finally meet her in person.

Jaxton nodded and said, "Well, yes. We have deeply investigated the profiles of dozens of executives, and you are the most suitable person for the job. This is a good position. Your salary will be ten times higher than it is now, and you will be the general manager of NAH Technology, which is a second-class position and second only to the Basses. All you need to do is that, from now on, spare no efforts to help Hannah run NAH Technology!"

Boom! Jane's mind was blown by his words. In disbelief, she asked Jaxton, "Mr. Bass, are you... Are you serious? You want me to be the general manager of NAH Technology?"

Jaxton looked at the shocked Jane, nodded and said, "Well, yes. We chose you because we think you are a capable worker, a good fighter as well as a beautiful woman. You are a woman so you can protect Hannah closely. However, there is one thing, Miss Cook. The Bass family can give you everything you want, but you have to make sure you will keep Hannah safe."

After a pause, Jaxton continued, "Of course, we won't lay all the responsibilities on you alone. The Bass Family has hired the best fighters from the Heavenly Sea War Department and the Heavenly

Patrol Division, and they would also be fully responsible for Hannah’s safety with you. You are an invisible insurance around Hannah. Do you understand? I believe you can do a good job! I believe in you. The Bass family gained a foothold in Cleveque City because we only use people we trust."

As Jaxton said, he leaned his body forward and stared firmly into Jane's eyes, "Miss Cook, I need an answer now. Are you willing to take the job?"

Jane took a deep breath. After a while, she stood straight and said to Jaxton with determination in her eyes, "Thank you for your trust, Mr. Bass! I, Jane Cook, will complete the mission! I am willing to take the job!"

Owen smiled and said to Jane, "Go to the personnel department to re-sign the contract. In addition, I have gotten you a two-million-dollar bonus as a reward for you. Cheer up, and you’ll make it." Owen finally gave Hannah a deep look.

"Thank you for your trust, Mr. Bass! I will definitely do a good job!" Jane thanked Owen once again and then left.

...

After Jane left, Owen, the head of the Bass family, walked out from behind the screen in Jaxton's office, wearing a suit. Jaxton looked at Owen and asked with a frown, "Owen, is it appropriate to give such a high position to Jane Cook? What were you thinking? Even if she has the half of the power of a God of War, she has never been in battle, so she is neither as strong as the powerhouses of the Military Headquarters nor the top fighters of the Patrol Department. Why do you give her this position?"

"Huh..." Owen smiled and said with deep eyes, "Oh, who told you that I valued her skills and capability? Did I say that?"

"Emm..." Jaxton looked at Owen confusedly and asked, "Then why did you particularly ask for Jane Cook? She is nothing but a department manager, why did you choose her anyway?"

Owen took a deep breath. He stopped smiling and said seriously, "Jaxton, have you forgotten the Giant God who has settled in Cleveque City now?" Owen put on a serious expression as he mentioned it.

Jaxton stood up with a grave face and said, "Owen, do you mean that Jane Cook has something to do with that Giant God?"

Owen nodded solemnly, "Well, yes. It seemed that they were pretty close. Jane Cook, who you see as a mere department manager, had lunch with the Giant God yesterday, Not even we could get a chance to have lunch with him."

Owen continued after a pause, "I only say it once, and you listen carefully and mustn't tell anybody this secret. Jane Cook has another identity, she had been in the same college as the Giant God's wife and the two of them are best friends. Now the Giant God's wife has also come to Cleveque City, and they keep contact closely recently! Now that Hannah is coming back, the enemies in the External Regions will surely want to hurt her. Therefore, if we promote Jane now, the Giant God might lend us a hand someday when Hannah's in danger."

Jaxton took a deep breath. He finally understood why Owen had to oust all the candidates for this position last night and chose Jane. It was actually because Jane had a very close relationship with the wife of the Giant God.

"Owen, you are so smart and far-sighted. I've thought it in a totally wrong way. It seems the Bass family still has to rely on you." Jaxton heartfelt exclaimed and admired Owen's consideration. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Owen smiled and waved his hand. There were worries in his eyes. He sighed and said slowly, "Stop flattering me. There might be some real, big troubles facing us with Hannah's return. Because on

her way here, a lot of men have died. However, the Dragon Kingdom needs her to come back! The Bass family can't be too selfish! Let's just hope that the Bass family can successfully get through this time."

"Well...Owen, our family can definitely make it. The God of War of the Military Headquarters in Cleveque City has already left for the port, and he has promised me that he will send a hundred of his most elite soldiers to protect Hannah in the dark. If necessary, he will lend us a hand," Jaxton said to Owen with a gloomy face.

"Well, I hope so," Owen nodded and said, although he was still extremely worried deep inside. Hannah Bass, his granddaughter, the supreme genius of the Bass family, a world-class technological talent. The enemies in the External Regions would definitely do something to her. But Hannah's return had been settled, even though he was worried, there was nothing he could do to prevent it. All that he could do was to try his best to protect her. He didn't even hesitate to promote Jane to protect Hannah, at the expense of letting down dozens of executives, who hence resigned.

Owen just hoped that if someday the Bass family and even the Military Headquarters of Cleveque City couldn't confront those forces, Jane would help them to ask for the Giant God's help as Owen helped her today.

...

Two hours later, after going through all the formalities, Jane, who was bright and valiant, stood on the Cleveque port with a group of executives from the Bass family, the Patrol Department, and the Military Headquarters of Cleveque City. In the cool sea breeze, they were waiting for Hannah's return.

Five minutes later, they saw a huge ship—which was thousands of meters long and loaded with containers—riding the waves and sailing towards the Cleveque port.

The next moment, the greatest female genius of Cleveque City, Hannah Bass, who wore a pair of glasses, beautiful and tall, carried a small suitcase and walked slowly from the top of the huge ship.
