Chapter 269
The middle-aged man hugging Gavin was obviously Gavin’s eldest uncle, Leonardo Conor.
To be honest, Gavin’s eyes were also filled with excitement.
He gave Leonardo a big hug.
Then, he pushed Leonardo away and went straight to his grandfather, the head of the Conor family.
He bent his knees and prepared to kneel.
After all, there was nothing wrong with kneeling to his grandfather.
However, before Gavin could kneel down...
The Conor family’s head reached out and grabbed Gavin’s arm, preventing him from kneeling down to greet him.
He looked even more excited than Gavin.
In fact, his entire body began to tremble violently.
His eyes reddened visibly, and tears flowed out of them.
He held Gavin’s hand tightly and looked at Gavin’s face.
His lips moved, clearly wanting to say something.
However, because of his excitement, he could not say a word.
Finally, the head of the Conor family held Gavin and said shakily,
“Gav, we... couldn’t save the Clifford family. We couldn’t save the Clifford family!”
As soon as he said that, Winston Conor, the head of the Conor family, could not control his tears anymore.
It was probably because he had finally met his favorite grandson after so many years. It was as if he had recalled the tragedy of
the Clifford family’s family. massacre back then. In addition, his beloved daughter had chosen to live and die with the Clifford
family.
All kinds of emotions welled up in his heart.
It made Winston unable to hold back his tears. He was already sobbing uncontrollably.
Gavin’s heart trembled.
He took a step forward and hugged his grandpa tightly in his arms.
He gently patted the old man’s back and said, “Grandpa...”
“It’s all in the past.
“I, Gavin Clifford, will take revenge for the Clifford family!”
When Gavin said this, his entire body rippled with an unwavering aura.
Even Winston felt his body tremble slightly.
He slowly raised his head and looked at his most beloved grandson.
He slowly raised his hand and gently caressed Gavin’s cheek. Then, he said in a gentle tone that he only used when talking to
his family, “Gav, you’ve lost weight.
“You’ve grown up, too. It’s been so many years since we last met... You and your mother are so alike...”
As Winston spoke, he could no longer control his tears.
Of course, Gavin’s mother was Winston’s most beloved daughter!
At the thought of his mother, Gavin’s heart became fragile.
However, Winston immediately wiped his tears and raised the black box in his
arms.
He said to Gavin, “Gav, it’s good that you’re back. It’s good that you’re back! “My mission can finally be completed!
“This is your family’s family heirloom. Today, I’ve handed it to you. I’m returning this thing to its rightful owner!”
Gavin looked at the black box, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Initially, he knew that the Clifford family’s family heirloom was very important, so he felt he had to find it.
Later on, he received news from Skynet that the Clifford family’s family heirloom was the legendary token!
This token of the Clifford family could be used to command the four major organizations.
At that time, Gavin only wanted to know the whereabouts of his uncle, the ruler of Thorns, Howard.
Therefore, he did not say much.
But in reality, Gavin was still puzzled.
This was because, from the beginning, he found out from his father’s will, as well as the words of those murderers’ families, that
the Clifford family’s tragic extermination was probably related to his family heirloom.
However, if the Clifford family’s heirloom really only had this one use, it seemed that it was not very useful at all for other families,
especially someone with the status of Riverrun General or Frostpeak General.
So, why did they have to annihilate the Clifford family?
Therefore, Gavin felt that there might really be some unknown secret in this family heirloom!
It was definitely not as simple as a communicator!
On the other side, Gavin had already slowly brought the black box into his hands. Winston, who had been holding the black box
tightly in his arms and was absolutely inseparable from it, finally let down his guard and let go of it.
This was because this black box belonged to the Clifford family to begin with. His grandson, Gavin, was the Clifford family’s
eldest heir.
Giving it to Gavin was just returning it to its rightful owner.
After guarding this thing for so many years, he had successfully completed the mission today!
A relaxed expression appeared on Winston’s face.
Meanwhile, Gavin had just held the black box in his hand.
He felt a warm touch from the black box in his hand.
This feeling made Gavin’s body tremble slightly.
The feeling of blood being thicker than water made Gavin think that he was holding a living person in his hands.
He looked at the black box in his hand in surprise.
The surface of this black box was simple and unadorned, without any patterns. However, with just a simple glance, Gavin felt as
if his gaze was instantly dragged into it by a powerful suction force.
All his vision slowly fell into the endless darkness above the black box.
This darkness was like a black hole in the universe.
Gavin’s eyes fell inside uncontrollably. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not pull himself out.
He felt that there was no longer any sound in his ears.
It was as if he had fallen into a black hole.
So much so that he even felt that it was a little difficult to breathe.
If not for his strength, which allowed him to survive without breathing from his lungs, he might have suffocated to death by now.
However, as time passed.
Gavin felt as if his inner energy in his energy point had been sucked into a black hole and lost contact with him.
Losing inner energy meant that Gavin also lost all means of subsistence.
He instantly felt troubled.
He tried his best to turn around and look back, preparing to escape.
But behind him, there was only darkness.
Therefore, he could only move forward!
After an unknown period of time, Gavin felt his veins bulging. He was on the
verge of death.
Suddenly, a crack appeared in the darkness in front of him.
Gavin had no idea what this gap was.
However, he also knew that the only hope of survival was for him to crawl
through this gap!
He used all his strength to squeeze through the gap. In the next second, his vision cleared up.
The blinding light dispelled all the darkness.
The carrier of this light was not the sun but a huge double door.
The height of the door was so high that Gavin could not see the end of it.
Just as Gavin was shaking the door, he suddenly heard a heavy voice that sounded like it was from a being that ascended
beyond the world of living.
“Gavin Clifford... You’re here...
Gavin was surprised to find that this voice was actually from this door!
