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… 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 complicated.
The woman in the previous life was not considered his, right?
Esmeralda said, “Grandpa, the person I’m waiting for is him!”
Cedric’s lips trembled, unable to speak for a moment. All of a sudden…
Boom!
Boom!
A series of thunderous explosions shook the area, forming a massive sonic boom that reverberated through the glass windows. Cracks began to Spiderweb across them before they shattered into pieces.
Rockefeller Manor was a landed property, and the glass installed was considered more than decent. The sonic boom, however, was powerful enough to shatter them, what more high-rise buildings with poor glass quality.
Cedric looked outside. “That didn’t sound right!”
Alex and Esmeralda glanced at each other. Then, they rushed out of the room together in the next second. Everyone else in Rockefeller Manor also ran out after them.
However, the old man had long been prepared to sever the connection between the puppet, enabling him to avoid the continuous pursuit of the spell formation.
Countless people on Earth who saw the cataclysmic scene were horrified.
The ancient myths had descended to the mortal realm, the present world and legends appearing hand in hand.
Could modern humans fight against mythical figures from the distant past?
Everyone could only think about the terrifying consequences. Even Geronimo knitted his brows and murmured, “The world will never be peaceful from now!”
Ring! Ring! Ring!
Alex suddenly received a call. It seemed to be from Luna, whom he couldn’t contact several days ago.
“Luna…”
“Alex, my parents, and Commander Benmore are in danger. Can you save them for me?”
