“Cedric Campbell!”
As soon as Alex heard that, he couldn’t help but feel slightly shocked. He was very familiar with that old man. When he was a student, there were always questions about that man in examinations.
“He… Seems to be unacquainted with me.”
“You’ll know once you get there, brat. Cedric even brought along his granddaughter, Esmeralda. I think he might have come to matchmake his granddaughter.”
“Match… Make..?”
“That’s right. Your grandpa is keen-eyed. Esmeralda Campbell looks coy and has rosy cheeks. It definitely has something to do with the relationship between a man and a woman!”
Alex was puzzled.
However, Geronimo quickly dragged him away.
Beatrice and Michelle, still fighting at the side, immediately stopped and jumped away from each other after hearing Geronimo. They had yet to determine the winner, yet someone had called Esmeralda out and wanted a slice of the pie. Had she asked for their permission?
They looked at each other in dismay and unanimously changed targets to the outsider. They chased after Alex in the direction he was dragged away.
***
Alex was calm and collected as usual when he saw Cedric. With his current position, he no longer had to be as cautious as before in the face of officials.
After some exchanges, Alex knew the purpose of Cedric’s visit.
He said, “Cedric, please be rest assured…The Ksitigarbha’s Ten Wheels Earth Incantation I made public is not some kind of conspiracy or trickery. I just want the Earth to overcome this crisis.”
Cedric nodded. “I understand it now. There’s really an alien invasion! Just now, hundreds of satellites were shot down, and the one almost killed me! I’m here because I’m entrusted by the Emperor who has a great trust in your character. I’d like to ask you, what’s the next action we should take in America?”
After thinking for a while, Alex said, “The official might as well recommend Ksitigarbha’s Ten Wheels Earth Incantation. How about it?”
Soon, Alex met Esmeralda.
As soon as they met, Alex felt how unusual the lady was her body was shrouded in a layer of mist!
He could not see through her essence.
“Miss Campbell…”
Just as Alex was about to say something, Esmeralda suddenly reached out to the back of her head and took her hairpin. Her black hair fell and reached her waist, exuding charming temptation.
“Do you recognize this?”
Alex looked at the hairpin in her hand. Entirely green, it was shining with radiance. In ancient times, it had a proper noun to it. It was called a comb.
After looking at it for a long time, Alex was about to shake his head, but his cardiac acupoint throbbed and trembled. Something had been broken, awakened, and activated.
