Chapter 78 The Resentment in The Cliff Family Five Years Ago

Chapter 78: The Resentment in The Cliff Family Five Years Ago

At the same time, although it was late at night, the conference hall in the Cliff family in Gotham City was brightly lit. Every member of the Cliff family was seated here, including the direct descendants of the Cliff family, all the elders, and big shots in all the industries. The one who sat in the seat of honor was the head of the Cliff family, Andy. He was Iwan's father. The one who sat next to Andy was the second elder in the Cliff family, Neil. He was the younger brother of Iwan's grandfather. Since Evan was not here, Andy and Neil had the greatest authority. As the second generation leader, Andy was more powerful than Neil. After all, he was Evan's eldest son and the second- generation leader in the Cliff family.

At this time, Andy and Neil sat in the seats of honor, while the rest sat in the lower two rows. About thirty senior members of the Cliff family came here for the meeting this night. It could be seen how powerful the Cliff family was. However, they all looked very dignified. Some of the Cliff family's relatives had faint smiles on their faces, and their eyes were a little sarcastic.

Andy, the second-generation leader of the Cliff family, looked very gloomy because it was not him who wanted to hold this meeting. Neil and the other senior members forced him to hold the meeting.

With a gloomy face, Andy glanced at them and asked in a deep voice, "Why do you force me to hold a family meeting tonight? Or do you want to topple me?"

Andy didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly. He had been in charge of the Cliff family these days, so he had been used to being bossy. However, things seemed to have changed. From half a month ago, others had been looking at him with irony in their eyes. Moreover, he had found out something. His eldest son who had disappeared for five years came back, and he was known as a God of War in the External Regions!

At this moment, Troy, Andy's cousin and Neil's son, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and smiled meaningfully. Then he said, "If you insist that we force you to hold the meeting, well... just regard it as the truth. We force you to hold the meeting, but so what? Ha-ha..." Saying this, Troy narrowed his eyes and looked at Andy with sarcasm in his eyes.

Bang! The next moment, Andy slapped the table and stood up. He pointed to Troy and said, "Troy! Let me tell you. Even if I am not the head of the Cliff family, you'll never get the position! Who do you think you are? Do you have the right to disinherit me? Or do you want to disinherit me together with your father?"

Troy put down his teacup, looked at Andy with a meaningful sneer, and said, "Ha-ha... Andy, you know what you did five years ago. My eldest nephew is so excellent, but you drove him out of the family. Ha-ha, now he has become a God of War in the External Regions, just like Uncle Evan. Ha- ha, do you think Uncle Evan will forgive you for what you did for the b*tch back then? As for your position... Sorry, I'm not interested in it. It's not appropriate for me to be the head of the Cliff family. But my eldest nephew has become a God of War in his twenties. Shouldn't he become the head of the family?"

"What? Do you want the treacherous son to come back to the family? Don't even think about it! It's impossible!" Andy had been overwhelmed by anger. He would never allow Iwan to come back! There was no family affection in a rich and powerful family. For his power and position, he couldn't let Iwan come back! Moreover, Iwan once fought with him! Since Iwan didn't regard him as his father, he wouldn't treat Iwan as his son! Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

At this time, Troy stopped smiling. With coldness in his eyes, he said slowly, "What if... I have to let Christ come back? Andy, what do you think... you can do?"

After Troy finished speaking, the whole conference hall became silent, and the atmosphere was dignified to the extreme. Apparently, Troy was challenging Andy. They fought for the power in the

Cliff family. Others were a little confused because direct descendants would suppress collateral relatives in other families. However, the Cliff family was the exact opposite. Troy was helping Andy's son take over power, but Andy tried his best to stop Troy...

Andy, who was in the seat of honor, was silent. His eyes darkened to the extreme. At this moment, he did not look at Troy but looked at the others in the hall, In a deep voice, he asked, "What do you think? I remind you that even though the treacherous son has become a God of War, do not forget that he has been dismissed from the Military Headquarters because he killed lots of people in Southpool City. He is no longer a God of War. Do you want to support him?"

"Has he been dismissed from the Military Headquarters? Ha-ha, it's not a big deal. The Military Headquarters needs talents. Those who were killed by Christ are scums. It's not a big deal to kill them. Even if Christ has been dismissed, Evan and I can let him go back to the Military Headquarters by the back door, ha-ha..." At this time, Neil, who was also in the seat of honor, opened his mouth and said.

As soon as Neil said this, all the senior members of the Cliff family bowed their heads, but their eyes flashed with strange lights. Each of them had something on their minds. In fact, this situation had lasted for half a month. Troy and Neil didn't go against Andy until this night. However, these senior members didn't care who would be the head of the family. Anyway, they were not qualified to get the power. However, they were glad to see one more God of War in the Cliff family. Moreover, Iwan was more powerful than Evan. As a God of War in the External Regions, Iwan had a brighter future.

After all, the Cliff family was one of the founders of the Dragon Kingdom. With a God of War in the family, they had established a foothold in Gotham City, and they were second only to those powerful families that had been inherited for hundreds of years. What if there was one more God of War in their family? There would be two Gods of War in their family! Moreover, Iwan and Evan were both powerful Gods of War in the External Regions. In the future, the Cliff family would develop better.

Besides, Evan was too old, and he had got injured many times over the years. Perhaps he would suddenly die one day. If Evan died, the Cliff family would be finished...

Therefore, this night, all the senior members who came to this meeting had taken a stand, which was that they must let Christ come back. Of course, Christ had a new name, Iwan. It didn't matter.

"Bang..." Seeing that everyone was silent and hearing Neil's words, Andy sit in a chair in disbelief. Everyone had taken a stand. If he didn't agree with them, the Cliff family would be disrupted this night!

At this moment, Andy was a little regretful. Half a month ago, when he learned that Iwan had become a God of War, he was also shocked. He didn't expect that his rebellious son had been granted the title of a God of War! Moreover, Iwan got the title in the External Regions! Therefore, Andy regretted what he had done at that time. He even thought about letting Iwan come back to the family.

But he couldn't let go of his resentment against Iwan. When his first wife died, Iwan ended their relationship and fought with him, saying he would kill his favorite woman!

'Was I wrong? What did I do wrong? I didn't want to marry his mother back then! The family forced me to marry a woman I didn't like for interests! Did anyone care about me? Huh? That b*stard even wanted to kill his stepmother! How dare he! How could he? His biological mother died! Since she died, why couldn't I marry another woman? As the head of the Cliff family, didn't I even have the right to get married again? But why did you have to hurt your stepmother? Why?'

'If you didn't stab your stepmother with a knife, would I disinherit you? Would I drive you out of the family? Huh? I even planned to let you take over the Cliff family. I would let you be the head of the family, and then I would retire. Wasn't it good? Huh? Why did you do that to me? I'm your biological father! Why?'

Andy roared in his heart. Yes, his feelings for Iwan were very complicated. More than twenty years ago, he didn't want to marry Iwan's mother at all, but it was useless. The family forced him to marry a woman he didn't like. Before getting married, he had only met Iwan's mother a few times! Then he lived in pain for more than twenty years.

At this time, the collateral relatives of the Cliff family wanted to let Iwan go back to the family. But Iwan wanted to kill his stepmother five years ago. If he came back, would he let go of his stepmother? No, it was impossible. Therefore, Andy would never agree.

'Why? Why can't you think for me? Why?' Andy roared madly in his heart.

The next moment, Andy suppressed his anger, glanced at everyone, and said slowly, "My opinion is the same. As long as I am still the head of the Cliff family, I won't agree with your proposal! Don't think that I will agree!"

At this moment, Neil, who sat next to him, said faintly, "Ha-ha... Andy, calm down. Is there any other way? Do you forget that Evan made an irrefutable rule when he established the Cliff family with me and the other elders? Any woman who marries into the Cliff family from another family can't interfere in the internal affairs of the Cliff family. If so, the elders will have the right to drive her out and even kill her! You married Lily five years ago. Of course, we don't know whether she meddled in your affairs or not. But now the fact is that our family is going to splinter because of her. So, we have the right to drive her out or kill her tonight. As long as she dies, there will be one more God of War in the Cliff family, right?"

Andy's expression changed dramatically after Neil finished speaking. However, before he could speak, five elders immediately stood up, bowed to him, and said, "Master, please kill Lily! Please stabilize the Cliff family..."

After the five elders finished speaking, all the senior members of the Cliff family immediately stood up, walked to the middle of the hall, bowed their heads to Andy, and said, "Master, please make a

decisive decision to ensure the stable inheritance of the Cliff family..."

"You... You... How dare you! How dare you!" Andy was so scared that his face had turned pale. He was afraid. Yes, he was frightened. Although he was the head of the Cliff family, he could do nothing about it if all the senior members wanted to kill his wife.

"Andy, be decisive. Christ... No, his name is Iwan now. Iwan is a good boy. Perhaps he was too impulsive back then. But as his father, you went too far. Take him back and apologize to him. After all, we do this for our family. Ask Lily to apologize to him as well. If you don't even agree with this, something terrible is going to happen in the Cliff family tonight. Am I right? Andy, don't force us... " Neil sat next to Andy, and his tone became colder and colder.

Listening to Neil's words, Andy stared at the senior members who stood in the hall. Time passed slowly. Ten minutes later, Andy sat down feebly and said, "Okay, I agree. Send someone to take Iwan back..."

Neil continued to say faintly, "Andy, you have to apologize to him personally, otherwise, he will not come back because he is angry..."

With listless eyes, Andy nodded dejectedly and said, "Okay..."

"Lily has to apologize to Iwan as well. Don't refuse me. You know how much Iwan hates her..." Neil added.

Andy's eyes became serious. He wanted to resist, but after a while, he nodded and said, "Alright..."

"Ha-ha..." Neil laughed. Then he looked at Troy and said, "Troy, send someone to take Iwan back. He must have suffered a lot in the past years. Give him more compensation. In addition, tell him that I will help him. I will let him go back to the Military Headquarters in two or three years, and he will regain the glory of a God of War. Tell him that he doesn't have to be worried..."

Troy, who was standing in the hall, also laughed. He nodded and said, "Okay, don't worry, dad. I will arrange it..."

Then everyone left the hall. Soon, only Andy was left in the hall. After sitting for a while, Andy walked back to his room tiredly. As soon as he went back, a slim woman with long hair and a beautiful face walked toward him. She was in her forties, but she was well-maintained. She looked like a woman in her thirties. Besides, her every move was attractive. She was Lily, the woman Andy married five years ago! Twenty years ago, she was a popular and charming courtesan.

"What's wrong? You look very unhappy..." Lily asked Andy. She walked forward, held his arm, and helped him sit in the chair.

Andy looked at Lily with complicated emotions in his eyes and said apologetically, "Sorry, the elders in the family want to take that treacherous son back. They force us to apologize to him..."

"What? Do they want me to apologize to that b*stard? It's impossible! Andy, your family members have bullied me for a long time, haven't they? I will never apologize to him..." Lily went berserk, and her face was apathetic.

"If I don't do this, they will split the Cliff family and hurt you. They will drive you out of the Cliff family or kill you... So Lily, bear it..." Andy said very dejectedly.

The next moment, Lily fell on the chair with a bang. She lowered her head, and her eyes were full of resentment...

She would not let Iwan return to Gotham City alive! Absolutely not!

"Do you think you're awesome just because you've become a God of War? You're not a God! I don't believe I can't kill you this time! Don't think about coming back and inheriting the family! It's your wishful thinking!" At this moment, Lily wanted to kill Iwan crazily. Half a month ago, she had

contacted many top killers. Although she could not contact any God of War, she contacted dozens of masters who owned the power of half a God of War. Originally, she wanted to wait, but it seemed that she couldn't wait anymore. She believed that no matter how powerful Iwan was, dozens of killers could kill him with poison or heavy weapons! Unlike what happened five years ago, things had changed. She had been in the Cliff family for five years, and she had become more powerful...

This time, she would definitely kill Iwan!
