“It’s been an entire month, I thought something had happened to you guys!” Bunty’s sophisticated voice rang in Alex’s ears as she hugged him.
Butcher took two glances at him before averting his gaze. He probably didn’t want to see his wife being so intimate with another man. But if he were to step forward and say anything, he would be seen as a petty man. Forget it, he just pretended that he didn’t see it!

After that, a group of people started to clean up the outpost and dug out each and every corpse to identify them.
All the members of the Flying Eagles who had died in battle needed to be identified and registered. They were all heroes!
After a while, another team came over. This time, it was an official from the government.
An official walked over and said to Alex and Jade, “The Emperor wants to meet you both!”
“The Emperor?”
Jade snorted. “Tell him that I have already retired and returned to civilian life. I am no longer the commander of the Flying Eagles. Don’t come looking for me again for any official matters in the future. From tomorrow onwards, I will live a reclusive life. Let the old man take care of himself!”
The official was slightly startled.
Then, he turned to Alex. “Mr. Rockefeller, the Emperor said that I must bring you back to see him. The Emperor would like to understand the situation about the matter in Flying Eagles Academy previously.”
Alex shook his head. “Forget it, I won’t go too! A person like me is probably a threat in the Emperor’s eyes! Please go back and tell the Emperor that the ancient force field is temporarily safe, but it’s not free of worries yet. Extraordinary people can come into the world inside it, but everything depends on their luck!”
After a pause, he continued, “I’ve been busy for so many days, so I should leave. I haven’t even made a toast to my daughter’s one month celebration. I’m leaving first!”
After he passed through Kala Temple’s gate, he caught sight of a beautiful woman, it was Beatrice.
“Brother-in-law! You’re finally back!”
Beatrice rushed towards him and threw herself into his arms. “I was so worried about you! ”
Alex felt slightly embarrassed. “Ahem, where’s your sister?”
“My sister? I think she’s going to give birth soon,” Beatrice replied.
“What did you say?! So soon?!”
