Chapter 171 May This Flourishing Age Last Forever!
Chapter 171 May This Flourishing Age Last Forever!
Traveling on a gigantic ship for three hours, Evan arrived at an ind where there was an airport.
Then he boarded a ne, heading for the Dragon Kingdom, but he couldn''t help but feel nervous.
He had not been back for decades, so he almost forgot what his hometown looked like.
When he was looking out the porthole, the captain of his personal squad walked to him and
whispered, "General, this ne can only fly to Cleveque. I''ll have to contact the Cleveque Military
Headquarters and make arrangements for your flight transfer. Do you want to fly to Gotham
tonight?"
"Cleveque, right?" Evan pondered for a moment and said, "No. Stay in Cleveque tonight. It is said
that Cleveque is now the most economically powerful city in the Dragon Kingdom. Let''s stay there
for one night. I''ll see what the most developed city of our Dragon Kingdom is like and how good or
bad it ispared with those top cities in the External Regions."
"Yes, general!" the captain responded respectfully before going to make arrangements.
But Evan stopped him and added, "Don''t make arrangements. Keep a low profile. Don''t disturb the
people of Cleveque. Ho, ho, I''m just an ordinary old man."
The captain nodded as his eyes turned a little red. Evan was now old, but he had fought for a
lifetime for and dedicated everything of his to the Dragon Kingdom. Now, when he returned to the
country alive, no matter where he went, he should be treated with the highest standards of courtesy.
Yet, this old man kept a low profile, not wanting to give anyone trouble or affect anyone.
After making the decision, he took out his phone and dialed a number he remembered.
But due to time differences, now, when the External Regions were in daylight, Gotham was at night.
At the moment, Neil Cliff, the second elder of the Cliff family who was about to sleep, shook violently
when looking at the iing number on his phone. The number''s owner called him so rarely. The
last time the person called him happened six years ago, and only the person could call him with this
number. He could not reach him by dialing it. This was the encrypted number Evan used to call
those in the Dragon Kingdom.
Seeing this number, Neil knew it was Evan''s call. Then, remembering the news Rendon had told
him, he knew Evan was indeeding back.
His eldest brother, who had fought for the Dragon Kingdom for a lifetime on overseas battlefields
and shoulde back with honor, now retired from the army and came home. He should have
enjoyed supreme glory and family happiness, but now... now... Neil fell silent with quite mixed
feelings. Actually, he already knew Evan would be back soon. He thought he was mentally well-
prepared! But now, when Evan really called him, he was panicky.
"Brother? I... I''m sorry. How could... could I exin what''s happening in the Cliff family to you now?"
Neil froze, torn between so many kinds of feelings. He could note back to his senses for a long
time.
In the air above the External Regions, Evan couldn''t help but frown, thinking, "Is Neil asleep? Why
doesn''t he answer my call?" He called twice, but Neil didn''t answer them. When he was about to
end the call and redial the number, Neil answered his call.
As soon as his call was answered, Evan said with a smile, "Ho, ho, Neil, you''re already asleep? It''s
not 10 p.m. yet in your area, right?"
"Brother..." Neil''s so husky voice then came, but with all kinds of emotions.
Evan froze and asked, "What''s going on, Neil? Your voice sounds a little strange, doesn''t it?"
Neil took a breath and said with a smile, "Haha, nothing, brother. I know you''reing back, so I''m
happy. The two of us haven''t seen each other for so many years. How... how have you been?"
Evan said with a smile, "Haha, very good! I''m still alive, and I''m already a Super God. When I get
back, I''ll be amander of the Military Headquarters, which Chief Scott has arranged for me. Neil,
we Cliffs will be free from worries in the future. Everything is okay in the family, right?"
After Evan finished speaking, the called fell silent. After being silent for a long time, he said with a
smile, "Yes, brother, will you arrive in Gotham tonight? I''ll prepare a family party to wee you."
But Evan said, "No need. I''ll be going to Cleveque first. When I get there, it must already be the
afternoon. I''ve always heard that Cleveque is now the most economically powerful city in our
Dragon Kingdom. I want to go there and take a look. I''ll go back to Gothamte tomorrow morning."
Neil said in the same husky voice and with quite mixed feelings, "Okay, brother. Then I''ll prepare a
family party for you tomorrow at noon."
Evan said with augh, "Okay, ask every one of the family toe then. And is Christ, the brat,
already married now? He should have been married at this age, right?"
But Evan didn''t know something. When he was asking with augh, Nei, far in the Cliffs'' house in
Gotham, looked up at the ceiling with moist eyes but covered his mouth, stopping himself from
crying.
But Evan''s happy voice kepting from the phone, "Haha, Neil, do you think the child will me
me, his grandpa? He is married, but I, his grandpa, didn''t attend his wedding. By the way, is he
married? Does he have children? Boy or girl? I''ll give some presents to his children!"
Hearing these words, Neil broke down and shed tears. Forcefully suppressing his emotions, he
gritted his teeth and said with a smile, "Yes, brother, Christ... is married and has a daughter... She''s
very beautiful. A little more than four years old..."
And Evan''sughing voice kepting, "Okay, that''s great! Then I''ll have to give my little great-
granddaughter good presents when I get back. Let''s end the talk. It''s not good to make a phone call
on the ne. Let''s deal with everything when I''m home. I''m also old. I have to sleep now. Don''t stay
awake, hahaha! Your limbs are old..." Evanughed and hung up when he finished that.
On the ne, Evan gradually stoppedughing, inhaled deeply, and looked out the porthole, but he
had more mixed feelings at the moment. He thought, "My grandson is already married. ording to
Neil, he also has a very, very beautiful daughter. Is his wife the daughter of the Ramirez family?
That girl looks good. Um, when I reach Cleveque, I''ll buy some very good gifts for my great-
granddaughter. Yes, I''ll buy a lot! ... I, her great-grandfather, am so ipetent! ..."
Evan''s mind was filled with all kinds of emotions. After all, he had not been back for so many years.
Earlier, in order to perform covert missions for the Dragon Kingdom, he had cut off all rtions with
his family. Now he had aplished his missions, and he could go back alive...
But what he didn''t know was that Neil, far in the Cliffs'' house in Gotham, was already tearful.
Actually, he had just wanted to tell Evan what had happened to the Cliff family during the five years.
But when he heard that Evan was so happy, he had not dared to tell him.
His eldest brother had fought battles for the Dragon Kingdom a whole life without regrets. Now his
brother was on the way back to his mothend, so he wanted his brother to be happy for a little
more while. Even if it was a joy for one more day, it was good...
"Sorry, brother! When you return tomorrow, you must have a strong heart! ..." Neil thought. He
clenched his fists, but lost sleep this night because he could not fall asleep at all.
...
More than 20 hourster, Evan walked out of the Cleveque Airport. On the way here, he had had a
sleep. When he arrived in Cleveque, it was already 4 p.m. in the city. As soon as he came out of the
airport, he felt the greatness of the city and the high modernization of the airport. Inparison,
when he left the Dragon Kingdom 20-plus years ago, the airports in the country had been very
shabby, and the buildings in the big cities had been rare and short. Now what he saw were all tall
buildings.
"Where are we going next, general?" the personal guard behind him asked him with respect.
Evan smiled and said, "Take me to the most prosperous area of Cleveque. I want to see what the
nation we old guys have been guarding for a lifetime is like now. I... I''ll also take a look for those old
brothers who can nevere back..." Even''s eyes turned moist as he spoke.
The personal guard nodded and said, "Yes, general. Then we''ll take you to the biggestpany in
Cleveque-Morgan Group. This group is the No. 1pany in Cleveque and one of the top 10
companies in the Dragon Kingdom. It''s even among the top ones in the world. It''s a very powerful
company."
Evan said after a nod, "Okay, then go to Morgan Group. We''ll just watch thepany at the foot of
it. Don''t disturb their work."
The personal guard said with a smile, "It''s okay, general. Today is Saturday. Although many people
go to work on Saturdays at such a bigpany, the numbers aren''t as big as those during
workdays. We won''t disturb them so much when we are there."
Evan pondered it over and said, "Okay then. You make arrangements ording to the situation."
Then, the guard brought a car that had been prepared at the airport, driving Evan toward Morgan
Group.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.
...
At about 5 p.m., at the foot of the headquarters building of Morgan Group, Jayna Brown, wearing a
white suit and a pair of white high-heeled shoes and holding the hand of Emily, a very cute girl who
was wearing a small white skirt, walked out of the building. Today was Saturday. Iwan had gone to
the Bass family house to visit Hannah, and Emily had pestered Jayna ande with her to y at
thepany. Now it was almost 5 p.m., and Jayna was going to take Emily to go back and have
dinner.
Just when Jayna was about to take Emily to her car, Lucas Mond suddenly ran with a stack of
documents out of the lobby of thepany in the distance. He called to Jayna and said, "Ms.
Brown, wait. This is an urgent document. Please take a look. If everything is okay, sign your name.
I''ll continue to deal with..."
Jayna thought for a moment, then nodded at Lucas, handed the car key to Emily, and said to her,
"Emily, get in the car and wait for Mommy, okay? Mommy will go sign a document with Mr. Mond. I''ll
be back soon, okay?"
Emily nodded quite reasonably and said, "Okay, go, Mommy. Uncle Warrior No.1 is around here. I''ll
be fine. Go do your business."
Seeing Emily get in the car obediently, Jayna returned to the lobby with ease and followed Lucas to
sign the document.
After sitting in the car for a while, Emily suddenly saw a car stop at the foot of Morgan Group and a
silver-haired old man in a military uniform then get out of it. Somehow, Emily fixed her eyes on him
the moment she saw him.
Then, apanied by his personal guards, Evan got out of the car. When he saw the 300-400-
meter-tall headquarters building of Morgan Group and four-five shorter buildings (which were at
least more than 200 meters tall) around it, he was shocked.
"This... this is Morgan Group? This... this is magnificent! ..." Evan was astonished when looking at
the building in front of him.
The 40-year-old-to-be guard captain nodded and sighed, "Yes, general, this is Morgan Group. This
is the flourishing age of the Dragon Kingdom you seniors have been fighting to protect on the
External Regions! General, are you satisfied with the flourishing age? Today''s Dragon Kingdom has
be the Dragon Kingdom of the world and returned to the top of the world because you people
protect her from outside. Although numerous foreign counties still want to bully and oppress us,
today''s Dragon Kingdom is no longer as weak as she was more than 10 years ago."
"May the flourishing agest forever!" Evan shed tears while watching it! "It''s worth it!" he thought.
When he looked at the magnificent building at its foot, he thought all was worth it. His old brothers
had not died in vain on the battlefields in the External Regions! They had not died in vain!
"Brothers, did you... see it? This is the prosperous age you traded with your lives! The younger
generations of the Dragon Kingdom didn''t disappoint us! They didn''t disappoint us... You can close
your eyes..." Evan looked up at the sky and mumbled inwardly.
The next moment, when he was tearful and in a daze, he suddenly felt his pants moving. Then he
looked down involuntarily.
He saw a cute four- or five-year-old girl, who was about one meter tall in a small white skirt.
Emily had just seen the old man cry, so she had immediately run over with a bag of tissues. Now
she saw Even looking down at her.
So she looked up, raised the bag of tissues high to him, and said in a very lovely voice, "Sir, why
are you crying? Are you very sad? Take the tissues and wipe away your tears."
Seeing the girl passing the tissues to him, Evan suddenly froze. Somehow, he felt something
unspeakable when seeing the little girl, as if she was as close as a family to him.
Evan took Emily''s tissues and said to her with a smile, "Ho, ho, kid, I''m not crying. I''m not sad. I''m
happy... very happy..."
Emily pouted and cutely said, "If you are happy, why are you crying? Sir, if you are happy, you
should smile like this, hee hee..." Emily smiled so cutely at Evan.
"Yes, right, I should smile, haha..." After hearing Emily''s words, Evan truly smiled.
Emily and Evan, a little child and an old man with a 70-year-wide age gap, smiled at the foot of the
skyrocketing headquarters building of Morgan Group.
Evan watched Emily smiling, and Emily also watched him smiling.
