“Ah—”When Esmeralda sensed her grandfather’s arrival, she hurriedly pushed Alex away.Embarrassed, she rolled her eyes at Cedric. “Grandpa! Why didn’t you knock?!”“So, it’s my fault, huh? How was I supposed to know you were kissing inside? You’ve only met for a few minutes and now, you’ve scared me so much I think I’m about to have a heart attack.”“What? Cedric, you’re saying Esmeralda kissed someone?”A surprised voice came from Cedric’s phone.Cedric’s phone was connected to a call.“Who is that?”Esmeralda was dumbfounded. Her eyes widened as she looked at Cedric’s phone.After hearing that voice, she could already guess who it was, but she needed to confirm it.Only then did Cedric realize that his phone was connected to a call!“It’s the Emperor!” he said in a deep voice.Esmeralda covered her forehead with her palm. Whatever had just happened was beyond speechless.Alex was also slightly shocked that Cedric was still on the phone with the Emperor.On the other ha
Alex nodded. “I understand.”The Emperor said with a smile, “I approve your request to Cedric. I don’t care what you’re going to do, but I have a condition—do your best to save the people from hardship.”“Alright!”***Cedric looked at his granddaughter before looking at Alex in the room, somehow feeling that his daughter was about to be abducted.The Emperor had acknowledged Alex’s sense of justice, but he had been fooling around with women and was notorious among the upper echelons. Even Principal Henderson and his wife from the Flying Eagles had expressed dissatisfaction, saying that the two daughters in their family had been ruined by that Rockefeller brat.With some difficulty, he licked his lips and said, “Esmeralda, he... is married and has children. Shouldn’t you reconsider giving someone else a chance? Although Clive is rather ordinary, he has a reliable character...”Alex’s eye twitched. ‘He’s implying that I’m unreliable...’In the face of Esmeralda, Alex’s mood was
The man from an unknown planet had used puppets in an attempt to attack the sword formation force field on Earth.It lasted a dozen full minutes.The resounding booms shook Earth to its core and terrorized the people. Many feared that those things would collapse.Eventually, the old man left.The puppets were exhausted, and he ended up empty-handed.“Oh my god. The Heavenly Emperors of the Stoermer Sect are really vicious. That wasn’t just an immortal-slaying sword formation—I even saw the Heavenly Star Formation, Chi-sealing Nine Squares Formation, and Yin-yang Dust Formation. That wasn’t even all… I don’t know how many formations are yet to manifest.”“They are arming themselves to the teeth to protect the Wasteland.”“No wonder the Infernal Ancestor retreated. Even if he were to unleash more puppets, they would be insufficient to break through the barrier.”“This is more than consumption. Didn’t you guys see that just now? A pair of eyes seems to have appeared in the force f
“Alex...”When Luna saw Alex, she immediately jumped up from the couch and rushed over with a swish. She hugged him like a beautiful octopus with both her hands and legs wrapping around his waist.In fact, someone else was present in the house—the head of the Exorcist Dragons, Martiny, and her daughter and apparent heiress, Freya.In addition, another stunningly beautiful woman who was at most thirty that bore an otherworldly scent was also present.“Ahem. Sis, do you need us to leave the room?” Freya asked, blinking.“Ha! I just haven’t seen him for a long time, so I hugged him... there’s really nothing going on between us.” Luna jumped down from Alex’s body and reached out to pat him on the shoulder. However, Alex was a head taller, and they were now in a strange posture.Freya shot several glances at Alex. Their hidden intent was complicated and hard to understand.Back then, Alex had treated her injuries in a bathtub.They had both seen each other’s almost fully naked bodie
Alex immediately took a stand. “Aren’t you talking nonsense? They are your parents! You have to think of a way to save them no matter how hard it gets!"Why are you hesitating in such critical times? Time equals life. You should’ve made it clear on the phone so that we could’ve gotten to Mount Sota right away. Do you know delayed we are?”After Alex finished, he noticed that... the atmosphere seemed a little strange.They had bizarre gazes in their eyes.“What’s wrong? Don’t you people want to go and save them?”Luna smiled and looked at Claudia. “How’s he, Aunt Claudia? I told you Alex is an affectionate and righteous man. He’s a rare, nice guy, right?”Alex froze. ‘What’s all this about?’“Did you join forces and put on an act?”“No! No!” Luna said, “It’s just as such, but it isn’t particularly urgent. My dad and the others are well prepared. They also possess superb weapons, so nothing will happen in a while... But, Aunt Claudia said that you’re unfaithful, fickle in love, a
“I’m looking for Principal Henderso. It’s urgent. Is it convenient for him to speak?”“He’s taking a shower.”“…hand the phone over to him, then!”Alex imagined the scene and thought, ‘Have these two just finished the grand task of making babies? So, Xerxes placed the phone next to her before taking a shower, right?’Alex naturally became moody when he thought about the uncertain fate of his beautiful master, Jade.Hence, right after Xerxes took the phone, he said directly, “Principal Lawlor… Jade Benmore, my master, is dying. Do you want to see her for the last time?”Clank!A commotion could be heard.Those words had clearly stunned Xerxes.After a while, a distorted voice came. “What’s going on? Explain it to me.”Alex said, “I can’t explain here, but you’d better head to Mount Sota right now. Remember, be quick. Also, come alone and don’t bring Mandy along. That’s all. I’m going to be busy.”Alex then hung up the phone.Martiny looked at him as if she had seen a ghost.
“What’s going on?”Alex immediately looked inside.He had inherited this treasure after Genbu’s death, a shell that had strong defense powers that could be useful during emergencies. However, it was a consumable and every time it was used, the energy within would deplete. When it was fully used up, it would be nothing but scrap. This was why Alex rarely used it.‘Why is it flashing a warning, are there undefeatable Undead in the tunnel?’‘The Undead Queen can’t be… coming out from here?’“Let’s go down. Me first,’’ Xerxes said. He was so anxious that his eyes had turned red, and it seemed his feelings for Jade were strong.He went forth and hit the tunnel entrance with the boat, ready to enter by force.“Wait!” Luna stopped him. “Uncle, there’re traps in this tunnel. If you try to use force, it’ll attack back. I’ve escaped from here once, so let me lead the way. You guys can follow from behind.”Alex grabbed her and shook his head. He had a feeling that the tunnel was like a
“Using paper clones. What a smart trick!”Xerxes exclaimed in awe. He’d been a disciple of the Maiko Sect and heard about paper clones. Unfortunately, the spell had been lost through time, so he didn’t know how to use it.The next second, energy waves erupted from the tunnel. Just as the two clones entered, heatwaves burst out.Numerous orange wind blades blasted out from the tunnel. There seemed to be a mysterious, deadly flame within each of them.Slash slash!The two clones were sliced apart in an instant, turning into shreds.The few jumped back with startled expressions, especially Claudia. If Alex hadn’t hit her with the seal just now, then she would be the one encountering these blasting hot wind blades right now. Looking at the strength of the deadly energy, she definitely wouldn’t have escaped without Alex. Even losing an arm or leg would be considered a mild injury.“What was that?” Luna was pale with fright. “I didn’t encounter any wind blades when I escaped last ti
