Chapter 72 You Protected My Daughter for Three Days, then I'll Protect You for a Lifetime
When Scarlett lowered her head to eat and stopped talking, Iwan glimpsed her deeply but didn't say anything anymore. He was sure that Lucas didn't have the guts to tell his identity to others, so Scarlett must have found it out through her analysis. But he didn't mind it. If Scarlett could find out all his hidden identities only through her analysis, then he, the Lord of the Divine Domain, would admit defeat!
"Come on, come on, come on, Iwan, I heard Jayna say that you'll take them to Cleveque City in a few days, right? I discussed it with your mother-in-law, and we decided to go, too. There's nothing to keep us in Pasoland. Come on, let's drink..." Luis said to Iwan with a broad smile.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Brown, let's drink. I give you a toast..." Iwan stopped looking at Scarlett and clinked Luis's wine glass with a smile, while Scarlett was still silent with her head down. The moment Iwan looked at her, she didn't know why she suddenly felt immense pressure. Scared, she was even more afraid to talk.
After the meal, Iwan went out to look for Emily. He drank with Luis for a long time. Now Jacey had taken Emily out to play. When he found Emily, Emily was calling someone with Jacey's mobile phone. When he went over to her, she just hung up, but her small tender face looked a little gloomy.
Iwan picked her up with a smile and said, "Emily, what's wrong? You are unhappy? Who were you calling?"
Seeing that her father asked her, she said to him hurriedly, "Dad, could you take me to look for Zora? When I was calling her, she seemed to be crying, and someone seemed to be swearing at her..."
Emily tilted her head to think about it, and then she continued to speak to Iwan, "That feeling is like, like... Oh, yes, dad, I feel that Zora seemed to be in the condition in which I was calling you for help that night..."
Iwan knitted his eyebrows deeply when hearing these words. Emily might be too young to describe it accurately, but he had found something unusual from her words.
Then he took the mobile phone from her hand and dialed the number she had just dialed. Only when the phone had rung for a long time did a little vicious voice of a man ask, "Who are you? What do you want to do by calling Zora Cliff?"
Frowning more deeply, Iwan said severely, "Who are you? Let Zora answer the call!"
The man at the other end of the line sneered twice and said in a more vicious tone, "Ha, boy, you're Zora's boyfriend, right? Okay, let me tell you. Zora owes our big brother 1,5000 dollars! Today is the day to pay off the debt! Boy, you're her boyfriend, so bring money over! Otherwise, I can't guarantee what we'll ask her to do! After all, she's so beautiful, and she's also a college student. Am I right? The bosses in big cities all like that. It's right, isn't it? Haha..."
When Iwan heard it, his eyes glistened coldly with an intention to kill. He had been a little drunk, but now he sobered immediately. He took a deep breath and slowly said, "Okay! 1,5000, right? Okay, I'll give you guys 150,000! I'll be there before 5 p.m., but from now on, if you dare to lay a finger on her, you won't get a penny!"
After Iwan finished speaking, the one called was silent for a long while. It seemed that a few people in that place seemed to be discussing something. About three minutes later, the person opened his mouth again, "Okay! Boy, I don't care who you are. If you dare to come, we dare to receive the money! Let's not meet at five. We'll give you one more hour. If we can't see the money before six, you should never dream about seeing Zora again in this life! You'll bear the consequences!"
As his heart was getting cold, Iwan sneered, "Okay!" Then he hung up.
"Iwan, what's up? What happened?" Seeing that Iwan looked unhappy, Jacey rushed over and asked.
Iwan put Emily in her arms and said, "Nothing. Don't tell your sister. You take Emily to play. I'll call someone..."
After saying that, Iwan looked at Emily and said with a warm smile, "Emily, I'll take you to Zora in a while, okay?"
Seeing her dad's face, Emily was somewhat confused. Her dad had just looked ice-cold, but now he smiled. She tilted her head to think about it for a while, but could not figure it out. But she still nodded and said, "Okay, thank you, dad. If there're bad eggs bullying Zora, you must save her for me, okay?"
"What? Something like that happened? Where's the life savior of the Lord's daughter? Now I'll mobilize all my forces to rush over. Quickly! Lucas, tell me quickly! I beg of you! Quickly! ..." Erick, who was getting angrier at the other end of the line, was completely afraid at the moment. Half a month ago, Iwan's wife and daughter were persecuted in Southpool City, and Iwan destroyed the Green family angrily. Now his daughter's life savior was being threatened, eh?
At this moment, as the top leader of the Patrol Department of Southpool City, Erick was almost crazy with anxiety. "That is the Lord of the Divine Domain! He is also very likely to be the successor to the Military Headquarters of the entire Dragon Kingdom in the future! But he is angry again because of something that happened in Southpool City..." Erick thought. His cold sweat flooded down.
At this time, Lucas's voice came from the other end of the line, "I don't know about the specific location, but the Lord asked me to go to Crimson County. And let me tell you something. You'd better not act rashly. You know the Lord's temper. He's already angry. That girl is his daughter's life savior, and his daughter likes her very much! Now mobilize all your forces, get them fully armed, and wait for me in Crimson County. I'll be at the airport in a minute. I can reach there before 4 p.m. Let's talk about it when we meet..." Lucas hung up as soon as he finished speaking.
Erick was in his office at the headquarters of the Patrol Department of Southpool City. The moment Lucas hung up, Erick rushed out of his office and shouted to those in the great hall of the Patrol Department downstairs, "Emergency! Assemble, everyone! Get fully equipped, everyone! Quickly! Quickly! Quickly! All of you! All of you! Assemble! Assemble!"
Luke Ayre, the team leader of the Patrol Department, was doing something downstairs. When he heard this, he instantly went to ask all the forces of the Patrol Department to mass. In an instant, with Erick's order, all the security forces of Southpool City were mobilized, gathering at high speed.
Ten minutes later, a series of sirens began sounding inside the Patrol Department's open space. The next moment, more than a hundred vehicles fully loaded with the fighters of the department went out, whooshing toward Crimson County in the lower part of Southpool City.
...
What happened in Pasoland City was different. After Jayna came out, Iwan told her that Emily wanted to visit Zora, and he would take Emily to Southpool City this afternoon. When she heard that Iwan was going back to Southpool City, Scarlett took Jayna to go back with Iwan. Therefore, without hesitation, they simply drove toward Southpool City...
Before Jayna came out, Iwan had instructed Emily and Jacey in advance, asking them not to tell her about Zora's matter.
"Zora, your family name is also Cliff. This might be fate. At that time, you protected my daughter for three days, then I'll protect you for a lifetime!" Iwan mumbled inwardly on the freeway to Southpool City. If someone hurt him, he would take revenge; if someone showed him kindness, he would pay the debt of gratitude!
